Ingrid’s a Senior.

Ingrid’s enjoying attending Cyclone events with her friends.  They are seniors !  Hard to fathom.   Seems like just yesterday she was playing a donkey in her kindergarten play at Pottsville Elementary.   Ingrid was the star of the kindergarten's musical.  Going to Brenden town...she played the donkey. She knew all the songs and all her lines. She was not scared in the least.

Ada Mae

Can’t get enough of her smile,

Sister sing me a song so I can rest awhile.

Placemats from cord

 Astrid’s table is dark.  Her rope placemats and runner will look exquisite together.

More crafts by Astrid

My flowering moss that Astrid bought me earlier this summer is really blooming and growing.  I will bring it in this winter and try to keep it.

Laura's birthday is September 1st.  Astrid surprised her today with a new door wreath.  Looks really striking.

Erin has a blanket for Ada that it strapped to her I guess.  She does not want her to get chilled in the night.  She said her bedroom was pretty cool at night.

Here is the senior photo I chose of Ingrid.  I like the old fashioned photos.  She looks really pretty.  

Laura is crafty too.  She made Astrid a table runner.  Astrid made place mats out of cord.  I can't recall if I shared a photo.  She just winded it around and around.  The runner is on Laura's table.

Crafty Asti

My little renter made a wreath for the front door.  Wooden sign on sale, wreath discounted at hobby lobby, and flowers from everything a dollar store.  Looks perfect for fall.

 Here is the wall shelf she is making.  The outer edge runs with the tree edge.

And Astrid has watermelons and more in her little garden.

Sigrid and Friends

Sigrid’s smile is so pretty.  Ellie is in the middle and Kenzie is second on left.  I don’t know the others by name.

19 years apart

 Ada is off to daycare and Astrid to College.  Nineteen years separate these two Grand girls.  Both precious.  They almost share a birthday.  Astrid’s is April 7 and Ada’s is April 6.

Brace Yourself

Sigrid finally got her braces removed.  She was ready.  Said her mouth and gums felt weird.

Before and after

 Little things make a big difference.  Laura added new grates to her  living room vents.  After almost 20 years of wear, they have had it.

Well, Laura just informed she painted the old grates and did not buy new.  She is her Daddy’s girl.

Memories

 Memories

A little stream flows through the hills,

Above it sings the whippoorwills.

In years gone by it heard the squeal

Of children's merry laughter peal,

As they would skip and slip and slide,

And watch the sunlit fishes glide

Over rocks and down the sandy side

Of the banks of the stream where the children bide

Their time on shimmering, summer days

And splash and play in the summer haze.

Laura’s Buffet

Astrid refurnished a table and chairs for Laura.  Then she sold her old stuff and bought this buffet.  Today she finished it.  So lovely.
