Grandma Mary

Oh goodness gracious I can hardly contain my excitement...and yet I have to. Children woke from afternoon naps and I whisked us all away to Grandma's on the bus. Oh I love public transit and my children are happy to oblige me. Hours later, and much to my husbands chagrin, I filled 2 garbage bags and he humored me by loading them and the stroller into our tiny car...plus the 4 of us after a delicious grandma style dinner (boiled garden beans, carrots, and potatoes, fried chicken and the infamous cheese whiz gravy...oh and plum pie and coffee). 

I can hardly wait to take an organizational rampage on these goodies (still in said trunk)...my favorite steals that are on the tip of my brain:

-a giant vintage cookie tin brimming with embroidery thread

-a great woven basket with yarn and string and metal double pointed knitting needles (now I have to learn to make socks)

-a shoebox from well before my time, missing its lid, and bursting with buttons (which I wrapped very strategically in my daughters sleeping blanket and put in my bag)

-and a great stack of mismatched vintage embroidered pillowcases

I am sensing a great explosion will happen tomorrow as soon as my husband leaves for work. I am sure the children will participate. Photo's WILL be posted.
