Blogidays December 19 - birthday fun

Hello everyone, 

First I want to thank everyone for the sweet comments about my granddaughter’s project.  She was on the front page of our newspaper today and now has more orders for ornaments - several of them were from people with families that have been through Covid and want the ornaments to commemorate what they went through in 2020.  In fact she has so many more ornaments to make,  I’m going to help her tomorrow.  

I’m still amazed how much she accomplished and how many people it has made happy ❤️

And thank you all for the loving comments about her 

Today we celebrated my birthday and it’s been a great day.

I went to see my parents first thing and my mom crocheted this adorable snowman for me.  

I talked to or saw all my grandchildren and children today.  

We ordered Panera catering for our lunch -salads, soups, baguettes, sandwiches and desserts.  It was delicious and there was so much, we had it for supper and will have it tomorrow and maybe Monday too.  (I know everyone is not a fan of leftovers but we are) 

My children gave me some wonderful scented candles, wax melts, potpourri and  hand lotions.  

And my husband gave me a beautiful pearl necklace. 

I took a few more photos at my parents retirement home.  

  

Both of these smaller trees have lighted gifts around the base.  They look really good in person.  

If y’all have read my blog any length of time,  you know I like to grow succulents. 

I saw this mini succulent that hangs on a car mirror on Mercari and it may be cute buts it’s ridiculous and would most likely block a lot of the drivers vision.  

But it is really cute 😊

Good night everyone. 

Hope you all have a good day 

❤️Rhonda 

 

Blogidays December 18 - our little philanthropist

Hello everyone 

This will be a brag post about our oldest Granddaughter- 10 year old Elizabeth 

I think these photos will explain what she did 

She ended up selling 97 ornaments and raising almost $600

Below is what she bought (with Walmart grocery pickup) 

We helped her family pick up and deliver all this to the hospital.  

They loaded the snacks into their van and the drinks went in the back of my husband’s pickup.   

Our former next door neighbor is the Public Relations director at our little hospital and she was just so happy with this donation. 

She said there are 90 workers in the Covid unit (at this little hospital😳) and she said this will really help them be more comfortable and help raise their spirits.  

Little people can do big things and I’m very proud of her and happy that the workers will get a little boost

❤️Rhonda
