Climbing to One!
This was fun! And dead easy! But you'll need lead time to order the decorated icing sheet, and the park sign! Both from ETSY. Happy Brithday Jay! Keep climbing!

The Most Wonderful Terrible Person
I don't feel like I did the book justice. It's a very compelling read. And I really encourage you to put it on your list. And share! Ask your book club to read it. Let's give Debra the launch she deserves!

Succulents in a Strawberry Pot!
Much better than the epergne! Now all I have to do is remember to water them every two weeks!

Epergne Trouble!
I still love this piece even though it's kinda old fashioned and grandma-y. But whatever. I'm a grandma. And I love the possibilities of this. I will continue to use it during the holidays, and maybe some fresh flowers during the summer. I'm not sure the succulent idea is the right one - but it's ok for now. I didn't want to leave her naked!

What fun shopping for a teeny dress for Frances! I do think I need to do a little more shopping for the peanut, though! Can't wait!

Like Magic! Our New "Staged" Home!
The best part is that we can live with it a little before we decide. It's quite a change! I'm still getting used to it. And feeling some trepidation about all the "white"! But grateful to Robert for the idea and for holding my hand throughout. And to Mechelle and Ashley for putting up with us as they made "magic" in our home!

Mule Day Parade in Columbia Tennessee
HUNDREDS of mules! HUNDREDS! So. Many. Mules. But so much fun! Beautiful weather. The granddaughters were at first reluctant to stand for the parade, but after it got started, they said that they "never wanted to leave!" Robert felt differently (ha! ha!)...but it was wonderful to enjoy the festivities with my daughter and the littles on this special Tennessee day.

I want to do this all over again. Tears of joy that there are men like Springsteen in the world. A gifted, passionate advocate for art, truth justice, and rock and roll. Thank you, Bruce.

I guess this is called a rant. But my granddaughters still didn't get Easter baskets. So I don't really feel any better.
