WEEKEND WITH GRANDMA

During our sleepover at Grandma's while she was making a pancake breakfast, Haedyn and I built this cute Lincoln log cabin.

 Yesterday after swimming in Grandma's pool, Haedyn played with
Kitchen's dog Jassy while I helped Grandma cut cute motifs for some of the pillowcase dresses shes donating to the needy here in Green Valley.

After the Elders cut off Grandma's dead tree branches, dug up dead cactus roots and trimmed shrubs, and Haedyn and I dug up dead weeds in back yard, we had a good lunch and fun visit with the Elders.  They were fun to talk to and teased Haedyn a lot.

Before we went to the pool, Haedyn and I sat in front this beautiful bush on back patio which is covered with beautiful yellow flowers.

After Sunshine brought Ffiona and Haedyn down to stay with me she brought two darling patio dresses and one beautiful pale green Easter dress that she had made for me and used my machine to add the buttonholes.  I'm soooooooo excited to have these.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 

Last Saturday I spent the whole day with the family at the fun Renaissance Festival in Apache Junction (east of Phoenix).  The event was 1600's United Kingdom and all participants (even many visitors) were regaled in the gorgeous attire of that time period.  Taryn was part of the Irish princess court who performed for the public many times during day.  We enjoyed the jousting competition, hysterically funny Catholic nuns comedy act, great Scottish pipes and drums show, the ceremony where the kids were knighted or made ladies of the court and other fun events. I was able to take my small cooler in and leave with the EMT's at the Red Cross building to get my food during the day.

 

Ffiona composed most of this while I typed it.  Combined effort, yea!
