Happenings

Farmer Girl!  hehe.

Freshly varnished floor- you can see where the wood is darker, but I was afraid if I sanded to much it would take off any of the original stain that was left and it's next to impossible to get stain to match in small patches. Plus we're not sure what they used. So.    

Ooo, and I finally figured out some things for the green bathroom. 

We took this picture on our honeymoon.  The really awesome part is that it's printed right on a board so there's no glass or frame and it's way more high humidity friendly!  I've never seen such a thing before, but all of the big online photo printing places have them and I found a 50% off coupon so it was cheaper than getting a paper print and a frame. Woot woot!

I am fond of box pleats.  I don't know why.  Maybe because they're fun to sew and make a homemade valence look a little bit fancier.  

Little miss in her dress from Great Grandpa and Grandma Wyss.

Have I mentioned we've been busy?  Sunday evening we went to Tim and Ruth's for a fun night of music and fellowship.  Bob had the day off on Monday and we went out to eat at Applebee's for supper (yay gift cards!) and checked out the new Bass Pro Shops.  I like those stores.  They make me feel like I'm on vacation... hehe.  We loaded up on munitions and a t-shirt for little miss because everyone needs a Bass Pro t-shirt at least once in their life.

On Tuesday Cecily and I went to the farm to look at all of Shelly's India pictures.  She brought me back a real Indian tea spoon and a scarf.  Little miss got a cute Indian dress.  She's much bigger than Indian babies... hehe... Here we are modeling Aunty Shelly's saree and her little dress.  We didn't get the saree tied quite right, it's a lot sloppier than how they're supposed to be. O well, it was fun to try!  Maybe someday I can go to India and get one too.  

Abby stopped by for a little bit before we left for Freida's visitation.  Freida was a peach.  I'm so glad we got to have them to Tremont once... and that I went to see her a few weeks ago.  I remember going to visit them in their little house in Lester with the flower garden in the back yard and being woken up by train whistles.  And then waking up on Sunday morning to an amazing breakfast and Andy's smoothies. 

I went straight to sewing club from Washington, which was fun, as always.  Cecily had about had it with social things and so we left early.  She's been sleeping all day today.... poor girl... four nights in a row and church tonight.   

We did not attempt to make it to the funeral today, although I did listen online.  Tried to anyway, the streaming was having issues until about half way through.  And then Bob took half the day off and brought us lunch and flowers.  He's so great. 

Blessings.
