Sometimes I go to many events and I can't choose only 1 to write about and writing about all of them would make the post too long. So I do nothing. I was shocked to see I had not blogged since February. So not like me!<br /><br />Your granddaughter is adorable. I imagine you can't wait for Thursday nights!<br /><br />Your dogs are so cute. What a nice life they have with you!<br /><br />Summer plans? Not really anything except a daytrip to Cape Cod for a Susan Branch book signing. Excited about that!

My parents/family moved when I was 4, 11, 20, and 26, but my parents' grandkids have been all only known my parents' one house from their last move, so I assume they will remember that home as fondly as your grandbabies--well, and your own babies--remember yours. My grandparents' home was that for me and all my brothers and cousins--always the same and so much history there, generation after generation.

Having baby Elsie over must be such a treat. She's a doll!! Our kids aren't married yet, so no grand babies. I'm looking forward to those days, must be fun! Your flowers look so pretty and I love how your bench turned out! Stan retired in February and it seems like that extra time I had is less. But, I do love having him home. There are lots of projects getting done now.

Little humidity with a bit of breeze much of the time, then the thunder storms or clouds at least come rumbling in over the mountains to cool things down. I had to chuckle over keeping the baby's toys away from the dog. Here it is socks. Our dog loves socks and steels them every chance he gets. We have to bribe him treats to get him drop the darn sock. What characters they are.

I love day lilies and have some in the back that don't bloom much because they don't get much sun. I think I'll transplant them. Elise is so cute. Don't you just eat up those sweet little times with her? I agree that PT is a very helpful thing to do. I wish you the best with it and hop it really helps you. I have stopped mine now as my tech said she had done with me all she could. I'm doing pretty well and walking without a cane although I probably walk like a drunk person sometimes! :)<br />Thank you so much for popping in to see me.<br />Be a sweetie,<br />shelia ;)<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-35951990451084058702016-06-17T14:02:01.028-05:002016-06-17T14:02:01.028-05:00Love the bench you painted in the corner of your p...Love the bench you painted in the corner of your patio. Definitely not too bright - in fact, go ahead and paint the legs white, too! With the dark corner and the brick, light is good.

Right now my cat, Ling-Ling has made her way onto my desk and almost on top of my lap-top. I love the little chair with the pot of flowers and your painted bench:) How precious is little Elsie (?), I can imagine her toddling down the sidewalk with her baby carriage - too sweet. You are right, it is the little things that matter the most. Your getaway with friends sounds wonderful. It has been so cold and rainy here, but right now there is a rainbow forming to make up for it all. Glad to hear the light therapy and PT is helping. Hope you have a wonderful weekend celebrating those special Dad's in your life. xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-53066545023322144582016-06-16T20:16:51.543-05:002016-06-16T20:16:51.543-05:00Sounds like you're enjoying this beautiful tim...Sounds like you're enjoying this beautiful time of year, Jane. <br />Love your yard with all your special touches.<br />And love that sweet baby.

It is like to be with you sharing all the things.<br />You have lovely little things: milo and leyla, really lovely garden, beatiful toes (just tried to get time to have my feet done), etc etc. <br />Have nice time by the pool and drinks & good books. Have you read Cathy Kelly? I'm just reading Between Sisters, first I didn't quite like it, but now it is difficult to drop to do anything else.<br />I'm having my cancer treatment every other week, now I hope that I do not have to have than one ahead, but you never now. Anyway I usually read books during these three days. Quite many in English or a few in Swedish. I had French in school, but have not dared to try any in French or Germany. Though, just today I amazed my friend by singing In eine kleine Konditorei, da sassen wir zwei bei Kuchen und The... Not sure if I wrote it correctly. It dates back to my mothers youth.<br />We have had the first strawberries. Not sure if we get some bluberries, which flowered (?) before we get any bees. First potatoes have been in shops, but I have a tradition of cooking first potatoes and serve with sour cream, herring ( yes indeed!) and chives on Mid Summer. Just a week to wait - what a treat!<br />All the best to you from other blond ( well a bit greyish ) Eeva, Helsinki, Finland <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-77851526164130621732016-06-16T07:54:54.735-05:002016-06-16T07:54:54.735-05:00Milo is so funny!
