I have spent my day on Grandma Duty. What fun! I always have a terrific time with grandchildren. Today is Andy’s day. We went for a couple of walks and smelled the flowers. The Hyacinths are heavenly! As we walked through the gardens we stopped to name each blooming flower. He likes to call them by their colors…purple and green, yellow and green, red and green. I find it interesting that he includes the “green”. I have a small resin bunny that sits in one of the gardens. Andy LOVES bunnies. They are his absolute favorite. He named the little bunny daffodil, because at 2 years old that is the word we were learning. (LOL) I am Grateful today to be able to spend the day with Andy! He helped to make macaroni and cheese for lunch and is now down for his nap. What a grand time we have had.
Now on to amazing news…Guess what I got. Go ahead just try to guess what I got….
I received a package today from
Hootin Anni as part of her Pay it Forward. I was so delighted when I opened it. First there was a beautiful card, a lovely bookmark that reads “Happy is the heart that shelters a friend”…it has three hearts on it and in one heart is a little bird, now anyone who reads me knows how I love my birds! Next, as if there need be more is this adorable little piggy windchime. I love windchimes!! This will be number 8 for me. I love listening to them make their own melodies on a breezy summer day. I also used to collect piggys, from the time I was a young girl. I can’t say I have many of them left but I just adore them. Next a lovely set of doillies, just the perfect color. Anni, did you make these? I know she is an avid crocheter. I have taken a picture so you all can see how lovely everthing is. I set my “booty” on my tablecloth so you can see how well the colors match. (I think Anni is psychic) Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for the lovely gifts and your thoughtfulness, HUGS and KISSES, ANNI!!
I hope everyone has a perfectly lovely day. If it is half as good as the one I am having, you are truly blessed!
Andy is lucky to have such a wonerful grandma that’s for sure. What a little cutie pie.
I love your surprise from Hootin’ Anni. Congratulations. Have a great day.
~~This grandma has her cranky days too…I am the lucky one to be blessed with sweet grandchildren. He is as ornery as he is cute! Anni is a doll, one in a million! Have a great time today! HUGS!………..Mo~~
First off……….what a sweet looking boy….Andy’s smile would capture anyone’s heart!!! He’s a treasure.
Secondly, I’m sure glad you liked your little gifts!!! And to know that you like pigs is a plus!!! I didn’t know you used to collect them. Wow…
Have one super weekend. And after doing this pay it forward, it was so much fun, I just may do it again soon.
:::smiles:::
~~I am so grateful to you Anni, I loved them! Pay it forward was great. Hope you have a delightful weekend! HUGS!………..Mo~~
Andy sure has grown up. He looks so much like Issac at that age. Your gifts are so appropriate for you. Today I am so thankful for the weekend. I have been very tired the past week so having two days off is a welcomed blessing.
~~Hi Girlfriend! Andy is getting so big….You will have to get some rest and just recouperate! Hugs!………..Mo~~
Your grandson is adorable!
Xandra
~~Hi Xandra…Andy is as ornery as he is adorable, God love him!…………Mo~~
What a cute little boy. Where did he get his red hair?
Congratulations on getting your gifts from Anni. I used to collect pigs, too, but I ended up with so many of them that I had to just get rid of most of them.
Have a good weekend.
Betty
~~Hi Betty, I am not quite sure where the red comes from. Mindy’s dad had a slight auburn cast to his hair and Mindy had red hair when she was born but quickly turned blonde. Andy is the only one who has ever stayed red. Anni’s gifts were perfect and adorable! Hope your weekend is filled with enjoyment! HUGS!…………….Mo~~
Andy is adorable and you are such a fun grandma. I’m sure the two of you have a lot of fun together. Aren’t grandchildren wonderful? The allow us to see the world through their eyes, which brings all of the magic back.
Anni is a doll. I love the little pig windchime she sent you and the doilies. Everything matches perfectly. How did she do that? I agree she must be psychic. LOL
Have a safe and fun weekend.
Blessings,
Mary
~~Hi Mary, that is a great way to phrase it…They bring the magic back! Yes, I think Anni is psychic…gee now I have a psychic friends network (LOL) Hope you have a delightful weekend as well! HUGS!…………..Mo~~ ps. did you get that link??
What a QT Andy is with that curly red hair and precious smile!!! Love the colorful ‘yellows’ in the background ;–) Looks like Hootin’ Anni outdid herself on the Pay it Forward challenge!
Hugs and blessings,
~~Yep, he is a darling boy and as ornery as God makes them! Anni is AWESOME! Have a grand day!………..Mo~~
