Lonesome...

Princess Lorelei has gone home...did you know that she is a princess. Sometimes when we ask her who she is, she says Princess Lorelei....or if I ask her if she is Princess Lorelei, she will say in a very precise little voice, 'YES, I am.' And she certainly is....

I had a couple people ask if I had made the dress she was wearing in the post yesterday...yes, it was one I made last year. I just bought a tank top, measured down so far and cut it off. I cut the fabric for the skirt in a rectangle whose measurements I don't remember. I think the width of it was at least about 4 times the width of the tank top...and I know I guessed at the lengths. She could wear it last year, but it actually fits better now.

As to the playhouse, she did play and play with it...that was the best $7 I ever spent.

Well, this Mamaw is tired....I need to put this computer away and think about getting to bed. This house was just so quiet this evening...we miss her as soon as she leaves.

Mamaw and Papaw's helper....

We have not been still since she came....or not for long anyway. She helped water the flowers when she got here yesterday evening,
and this morning she helped water the garden.
First look at the face above, then look at the expression below!
You can see a lot in those eyes!
Papaw got her squirt guns...
besides squirting us, she shot bugs and just anything else she could find.
She just now went to bed....it is 10:30....we had to catch fireflies for a while, and she had to watch a few little scenes from Max and Ruby...

This mamaw is too tired to do much of anything, so going to post these and then relax.

Waiting for Lorelei....

By the time you read this, she will be here. I am getting this ready to post beforehand, though, cause once she gets here we will be busy. I am betting she will want to play with playdoh or her bubbles first thing. She is growing so much...mentally and physically.

It has been quite a while since she has been here....I have no idea what she will think of the flowerbed. She usually notices stuff like that. And I also picked up a dollhouse at a yardsale...just like this one. When you press the phone, it sounds like a real phone ringing...and if you raise the lid to the potty, it sounds as if it flushes. It was like new...she has dollhouses at home and really likes them, so thought she would enjoy having one here.

We have been busy today...Roger did the yard even though it only needed it in spots. If it don't rain, it will be a long time before it needs it again. It is brittle to walk on. He also watered my new flowers for me while I tried to pick up and put up stuff inside. I do not know why we have got in this awful habit of piling stuff on the dining room table. I know part of the reason is we seldom eat at the table...from people I talk to it seems to be a common thing.

Lots of times we eat on the front porch, but if we are real weary, we might just sit in here and watch TV. Eating on the porch is one thing I really miss in the winter...

Well, the Belmont stakes will be starting here shortly. I am watching the pre-race part of the day. I just love to see the history and stories about the horses...was so sorry that I'll Have Another won't get a chance to race for the Triple Crown.
