August Already????

We did another day

trip in July.  This time to Oklahoma City to the Jurassic Quest.  It was in a huge parking lot and you drove thru.  Each dino had a plaque with its name, how to pronounce it and its history.

You can see by the size of the cars how big the dinos were.

Kaycee "drove" us thru the exhibit.  She was sitting on Tiff's lap and we were sitting more than driving.  It was hard getting all five of the little ones in a position where they could see.

The dinosaurs were very realistic looking.

I lost a very dear friend in July.  This is Miss Linda as the girls call her.  She was in a nursing home, her health was not good and her little body was just worn out.  She was 93 and was a victim of the CoVid.

She had been my friend for 50 years.  She was a fantastic painter and she loved red.  So, I had to make her flowers with red and white polka dot trim.  I talked to her several times a day.  They had been confined to their rooms since mid March and it was so hard on her.  But, we could talk and talk and talk on the phone.  I will really miss her.  The virus took her in a matter of a few days.

My yard has just gone bananas!  We have had a solid week of rain and more rain.  This is my little weeping dogwood tree that I planted when I moved here.

My back fence full of Morning Glories.  I didn't get out to take photos early enough for you to see the gorgeous array of flowers on the fence.

The girls and I have been redoing and cleaning out their playroom.  I had a bed in there but took it out because they needed the room.  LOL  We took the doors off of the double closets so they would have better access to their "stuff".

This is their dress up closet.  The cabinet in there holds their American Girl doll clothes and accessories.

This is their little kitchen area.  The opposite wall has their AG dollhouse and their Barbie dollhouse.  They love to play.

I have been going thru and sorting boxes of stuff that were in my storage building that was broken into.  A large part of the items had gotten wet and ruined so they just had to be thrown away.  Sad.  But, I found this picture I had done for my Mom.  I didn't paint the little girl picture, but did the flowers on the surrounding mat.  Mother had several of this artist's figurines and loved them so.

Sweet memories.

Enjoy!
