The Long Hug

Lorelei and Gus

Gus was giving her a long hug

I am trying to put them in the correct order

This went on for about ten minutes...

Sarah and Lorelei were laughing the entire time...till they cried

After he stopped, they continued to laugh so hard they were crying...

I guess it is a good thing he does not do this every time she comes home...click on the photos for better views.

Those were the days!!!!

 

What sweet memories this brings...

I want to thank you guys for telling me what you think about from your past or what you missed or just anything like that is fun to read. I really did enjoy it.

I have did laundry and balanced checkbooks one more time...I was going to try not actually balancing, but thought this one last time and am going to make the attempt to skip it from now on.

We have had overcast skies today, and Copper has thought it was going to storm.  He spent the afternoon in our closet.  He came out once and looked then turned and went back.  Now he is with his mom and content for now.

Now and then....

 My heart just melted when I got this the other day....Two of my beautiful girls.  It seems like only yesterday that Lorelei was that young.  She is still a loving girl...you can tell she loves her mom.  And she loves her dad, too, and used to always miss him so much when he was working so much she hardly saw him.

I don't know what the actual temperature has been...in the 70's, but with the breeze that is blowing was too cool to sit outside and enjoy reading.  I would have had to have a blanket.  LOL

 I think this will be my last day of posting tulips...this was taken a few days ago... and the one below was taken a day or two later.

Even in death it is still beautiful.

I did my walmart run this morning.  I try to avoid Fridays as it seems more people are trying to miss the Saturday/Sunday crowd on Fridays.  I don't go real early...usually around 10:00...after Roger is up and settled with breakfast.

I have cut pieces for my little Boxed Squares blocks, but did not sew any.  My count is up to 416 made.  I am not sure I will make the 600 recommended for a full sized quilt, but I am pretty sure I will make at least 500.
************     Below is a video of the Avon Drumline....Lorelei plays the cymbals.  

 

 You can see the backdrops of the fingerprints her mom and put together.  See how we had to match the lines of the fingerprints.  At the end of the performance, they all drop.  If you go to youtube and expand the view, you get a much better view of it.

New kids on the block....

 Above Lorelei is holding Gus and below is Wilbur...they were going to call him Willem but Lorelei and Jeremy decided they like Wilbur better.  Wilbur is the name the rescue place gave him.

They were made to be hugged.

They are just so cute 

and loveable...  

We did run over to meet/see them this weekend.  Above, Gus is actually sleeping like that.

Above is their first night at home.

Thought I would post another happy post.  Stitches came out Friday.  You just would not believe how good my face looks compared to what it looked like right after the surgery.
