Mday reflection

I know we're suppose to honor those who have fought for our freedom this special day but I always think of those who have gone before us...especially my grandparents. All growing up I was always bragging that I had BOTH sets of my Grandparents AND a set of Great Grandparents. Well within a period of a few short years I lost them all. Grandparents should live forever I think....anyway I'd like to share with you a poem my Gramma always had hanging in her kitchen. I LOVE it.

The 10 most important TWO letter words you should know.....

If

It

Is

To

Be

It

Is

Up

To

Me

Thanks Gramma!

Look what I FINALLY did

Yup, this is how Kylie and Momma spent ALL day Monday...planting flowers. I've been putting it off with the cooler weather (I never plant before Mday weekend anyway!) and just plain ol' laziness. Well it's done!

12 large geraniums (all Hot Pink) AND 96 allysum plants in white, purple and pink. So it should all be beautiful in a couple of weeks if and when it warms up again. We put in a whole bunch of brickwork so I knew we'd need more pots.

I'm not a garden kind of person. I prefer Pot(s) :-)

So $200 and 36 pots later it's DONE!

Now to stock up on liquid Miracle Grow and I'm all set.

Oh and NO I'm not gonna move them all that's the "maintenance department" aka Mark.

She looks like me!

This is Kylie and her new friends Shi Jia (soon to be 4). We went on a mini road trip this week so I could introduce Kylie (and see her mom Sheri)to Shi Jia (yes, Shi Jia was also born in China). And boy did the girls hit it off. We can hardly wait to go back so they can get in some serious play time in together. Not just messin' around under a table at a restaurant :-) Thanks again Sheri for dinner it was GREAT seeing you and ALL the kids :-)
