Rainy Day Sunshine

What do you do on a cool rainy day in late July?  I decided to create a little sunshine on my two large chalkboards.  I found the ideas on Pinterest.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.  You make me happy when skies are grey."

I love that little song.

I also like this song. 

 "I see trees of green, 

red roses too. 

I see them bloom, 

for me and you. 

And I think to myself,

what a wonderful world."  

Here's the link to my Chalkboards board on Pinterest.

So happy you stopped by for a visit!

Banana Plantation

We are having fun watching our one plant banana plantation grow.

Here it is on July 6th.

July 20th

We are also enjoying homegrown tomatoes from our 2 container plants.

Emma helping Papaw.

Ethan picked a few.  

The temperatures were fantastic last week.  Highs in the 60's & 70's, lows in the 50's.

What a treat that was.  The heat is back this week, but so far there is no mention of temps of 100. 

Thank you for visiting!

Words That Inspire

The message is simple.

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit,

 but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, 

but also to the interests of others.

Star Spangled Day

Our 4th of July celebration was so much fun.  

The grand kids had a blast!  

We started celebrating with our neighborhood parade.

Beauty queen, Emma, insisted on carrying this faux daisy.  So CUTE!

Ethan & teddy are ready for the parade.

Emma & Ethan's cousin, Levi, came to join in the fun.

Growing Too Fast

My grand kids are growing by leaps & bounds.  

Ethan lost his 1st tooth yesterday.

Makes me sad & happy at the same time.

The other day when Ethan was walking by the flower pots at the front door

, he paused & looked at the flowers.  He pointed out to me that the petunias were the colors of the USA.  This for sure proves he's growing up & showing what he's being taught.  So proud of this big boy!  

Love you, buddy!
