And she's coming again tomorrow. I told Roger we would be busy this time tomorrow night...well, hopefully, we will be winding down. I keep watching the weather and now rain is in the forecast for tomorrow evening and for Saturday.
She told me before she left Tuesday that she might stay 4 days or 3 days...but she told her mom that she might stay two 5 days.
You have to understand that the 5 days represents the fingers on one hand. When she came last weekend, she designated a finger for a day and each day had activities planned. the first day was designated as the day she gets here, the next finger was for going to the park, and the next was CREEK day....and she said it just light that...you could tell it was a big deal...and the 4th finger was 'staying home and shooting bad guys with Papaw!' (An Xbox game...she wants Papaw to play, and me to be in here doing something, and she just messes around and plays with her toys.) Again, a lot of excitement in her voice for just staying home. And the fifth day was for going home.
It rained so much we did not go to the park or the daylily gardens...I think we will go to the gardens even if it is wet and messy this time...

I captured this on the way home Tuesday...between here and Terre Haute. And I saw two others but there was no place to pull off the road, plus they were too far off.
Isn't Lorelei adorable??!! Is she about 4 years old? I have a granddaughter that is 3 1/2. She keeps us in stitches. She loves an audience and she loves to make us laugh, unless she falls, then even if she isn't hurt, we better not laugh. She doesn't like it if the laughter comes when she isn't intending to be funny! My granddaughter loves to watch her dad play x-box, too. They sure do brighten the day!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a pretty girl! Love her big smile. Great capture of the bird!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, a bald eagle! And a good in-flight shot from such a distance. Looking at this picture of her holding your card, I notice how very much she has grown!!
ReplyDeleteI can tell by that big smile she loved the card... and she is more organized with what to do each day than i am. i need lessons i think... i do know how to count on my fingers, so that is a start
ReplyDeleteShe is such a sweety! Yes she loved her card. You must love your time with her. Great shot of the eagle too. Thank you for stopping by. Picking apples in the rain sounds like a lot of fun
ReplyDeleteA very cute shot of Lorelei. Her counting is very good. She's planning all the time!
ReplyDeleteHi Rose, I am back to answer your question do I miss England? In a lot of ways yes I do. It will always be home to me. However, since my parents passed away and I lost my sister almost five years ago, I find that where I am right now is home. My homesickness isn't like it used to be because before I missed my family so much, still do but it is different. I lived in England for the first 25 years of my life, I've lived in America now for almost 38 years. I look forward to going back for a visit one day. It will be interesting to see how I feel then :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy her now... They grow up so fast... And someday, she may be too busy to come and spend several days with you....
ReplyDeleteGlad she loved her card.. Adorable photo.
Hugs,
Betsy
Yes, enjoy her - and I know you do! Wish our Granddaughter lived closer. She's such a joy too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie pie she is, she sure does look happy. Love her shirt!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen that girl when she was NOT smiling :-) What a joy! Creek day must be great!
ReplyDeleteLorelei is such a special child to enjoy simple things like going to the park and playing games with Pawpaw. Obviously she feels loved and nothing gets better than that!
ReplyDeleteHer smile always makes me smile....:)
ReplyDeleteOh boy oh boy she sure loved her card. It is very special to her and I bet she was surprised to find the pocket on the back.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the eagle. MB
