Hello everyone! I didn't mean to stay gone so long. July and August have just been busy. I spent lots of time with my 7 grands. The 2 new babies are so precious and the 2 oldest are now both in public school full time when the new school year started last week and the 3 in the middle are wonderful and keep us all on our toes.
July was also doctor appointment month as I saw my doctor, eye doctor and dentist. I needed a filling, my first in many years, and I needed new glasses. I am glad all my appointments had good results but they sure use a lot of time.
The other big event is my parents just moved to our town into a brand new and beautiful retirement home. They grew up in Oklahoma but have lived in East Texas for more than 50 years. So they are happy to return to Oklahoma and especially happy to be so close now to their grands and great grands. They are still unpacking and decorating but I hope to post some pictures when their apartment is photo-ready.
This is my first pretty to do list after a 3 week break.
The purple polka dot fabric tape is from Dollar Tree. The designs are made with rubber stamps.
I did a little CVS shopping over my blog break but not much. Frankly, we are stocked up on most all drugstore products. But I may go this week for a few things and I will sure blog about them if I do.
Have a good week everyone! I not only didn't blog for the last 3 weeks, I have not read many blogs either, now I hope to catch up with you all.
Happy to see a post from you! Sounds like you have had plenty to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendi, it has been busy here but busy will all good stuff :)
DeleteSo happy to see you back! Sounds like you stayed very busy. Those grandkids will keep you that way. It's great that you had everything stockpiled!
ReplyDeleteI know too you'll love having your Mom and Dad close by. Have a great week!
Yes Vickie, it is very nice to have my parents only 10 miles away instead of 300 miles.
DeleteI never paid for manicures until about a year and half ago. My husband likes my nails done and I like it too, but the nail salons have too much drama going on for me.
New babies are so precious Rhonda. And I'm so pleased that your Doctors appointments only yielded happy results. We missed you. Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Mimi, the older I get, the more I appreciate and strive for good health. I misses you too!
DeleteNothing like the joy of being surrounded by family. 'Happy for you all!
ReplyDeleteThat is true, Marcia!
DeleteThat is really great news about your parents moving closer. Let the spoiling begin;-)
ReplyDeleteblessings, jill
Hi Jilly, yes, it is good news and we are all thankful it finally happened.
DeleteGlad you're back!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jess.
DeleteOh Wow!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that your folks have moved close by. That is probably a relief of sorts.
I love seeing your pretty TO-DO lists...
I haven't made a list in a while.
So not much is getting TO DONE!
Hi Pat, it is very nice having my parents near. They still need to get set up with doctors, register to vote, all that kind of stuff. We may be slow but will get it all done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments on my lists, I like them too :)
I know you must be glad to have your parents close by. Believe it or not, mine have talked about leaving the rest of our family and move this way. My siblings and all the other family members won't be happy if they decided to move. :)
