Those two lots and then the one across the way are about the only lots of waterfront I know of anywhere. I know one day those two next to me will be sold for big money too. I dread it. I have enjoyed the more natural look, but nothing like that lasts forever:)<br />The boys are growing so fast. I can not believe the oldest one is 3 now. He is even looking 3.

While I'd find it sad, too, to have those pretty trees cut down, it is very generous of spirit to share that beautiful view with new home owners. :)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-85742140441529434002021-10-24T13:59:21.762-05:002021-10-24T13:59:21.762-05:00I will sound arrogant and I don't mean to at a...I will sound arrogant and I don't mean to at all. I like woods way more than a house and yet, someone long ago was sad to see my lot cut down to build a house:) I found out at church today that a little girl who comes to my class is the family building it. I told her she could look across for me and Gus hanging out.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-16181791510646485792021-10-24T13:00:44.286-05:002021-10-24T13:00:44.286-05:00The pictures of Gus are so sweet!

I hope the house they build is beautiful eye candy from your perspective. Paul Allen and Katie did a great job with those doors! That is a wonderful transformation.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389829595981028640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-69042837124146109912021-10-22T13:21:53.076-05:002021-10-22T13:21:53.076-05:00The kids are really doing some cute stuff to the h...The kids are really doing some cute stuff to the house. It was built in 1978 but has good bones, so they are making it quite cute.<br />I hated seeing the trees go but I knew it would happen sooner or later. I am glad the military owns a good bit of the land back of the bay. We love to go back there and just relax with nature.<br />My boys are growing like crazy and are so much fun these days. Mom is doing better. I think I talked her into going to the doctor before she got so bad which in itself was a miracle.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-91239058047866223252021-10-22T13:19:05.120-05:002021-10-22T13:19:05.120-05:00I think everyone has settled down about the toy gi...I think everyone has settled down about the toy giving. I only bought him one gift. He has more than enough. They just get overwhelmed with it all. Lindsay is good about rotating stuff out so as to not have too much out at one time too. The other grandparents were over the top at the beginning. I think they have slowed it down too seeing that we weren't giving an extravagant amount either.<br />I am so busy I wonder if I am retired. I truly think working is for the young too. There is no way I could teach now. My mind and body would NOT be able to keep up. I have had a little more to do lately than I wanted. I think it honestly will settle down in December. I am doing Thanksgiving again at my house, so I will probably be hopping until then. I told Jeff starting after Christmas that we were making a point of going to the Auburn house once a month.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-7407286241441310592021-10-22T13:15:21.660-05:002021-10-22T13:15:21.660-05:00I have seen what you are talking about in the maga...I have seen what you are talking about in the magazine. I rarely buy magazines anymore. I can't decide if I am just old and don't like the new stuff or if I am just old and have seen it old. Did I say old twice? I did see the simple designs though and they are adorable. I love to relax and stitch. It gives my hands something to do at night as well.

I can't get over Tucker turning 3 and Palmer is 3 months. What a fun activity for Tucker on the pirate ship. His race car party looked like fun as well. Hope your Mother is on the mend and the boys continue to get better. The doors look so much better in white. Too bad about the loss of trees as they build. Your lily and pansies look so pretty. Enjoy your weekend, Sandy!Robin in Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963664770288800348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-9397328120882915612021-10-22T07:55:54.176-05:002021-10-22T07:55:54.176-05:00So glad to hear that Lindsay is improving!!

Yes Life is busy here as well. Glad we are retired as we do not have time to do anything.lol Katie and PA gave Tucker the perfect bd gift and that there were enough for all the guests was genius. I have been at some bd parties where there have been spectacular meltdowns over toys.:) I will try to email you next week.

The boys are both adorable and what a wonderful birthday Tucker had! Sometimes it's just good and really fun to play tourist right in one's own area.<br /><br />I seem to be one of these people that really has to work on one cross stitch at a time. I've been working away at the PS February sampler and it is really coming along well. I mostly work on it in the evenings when we happen to be at our little camp, and just took it up north with me while we stayed a couple nights with a friend who just had knee surgery. <br /><br />Do you ever see Country Living magazine? I hadn't seen one in some years, but a friend brought me a couple issues recently and I found that there's a simple cross stitch design in each one. They are calling my name ... or should I say my needle?Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-66719230127510919292021-10-22T06:45:25.507-05:002021-10-22T06:45:25.507-05:00Thank you.

My daughter had a rougher delivery and really needed me this time. The boys are precious and I feel blessed to spend time with them. I am tired and will admit to reclining in the evenings a bit especially when I have Tucker. He is a live wire, but he is at daycare most days.<br />You are also so right about stitching. I find it relaxes me and all my troubles melt away when I am stitching. I want to get back to my heron soon. I have been working on my little PS Santa and a sampler that I am not sure about. I am taking a break for it to let it sit with me for awhile.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-3840609876529753082021-10-22T05:41:06.091-05:002021-10-22T05:41:06.091-05:00Sandy, I have been so behind on reading blogs that...Sandy, I have been so behind on reading blogs that I did not know there was a new (ADORABLE) baby in your world! Congratulations! <br /><br />The doors are incredible. What a good idea to add that pretty trim before painting.<br /><br />Please take good care of yourself, and I hope you can get in as much stitching time as possible. It really is so good for us. It has helped me get through a lot of tough times (and has been a wonderful companion in good times). Something about thread and linen or aida just soothes my soul.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456059825889195640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-5032138074274118632021-10-21T19:54:33.828-05:002021-10-21T19:54:33.828-05:00I am really blessed to have the two little ones ne...I am really blessed to have the two little ones near me and to be able to help Lindsay out with them.

We have a lot next to us on one side that still has a little block cottage on it. We have always been so lucky that it has wonderful renters. I know one of these days it too will be sold. I just hope they put one house on it instead of 5 which is happening around here a lot.

I don't know how you keep up with everyone and everything! You are amazing! I know how you feel about seeing those trees cut. I hate to see trees cut down. I do hope the new neighbors will build a lovely home and be good neighbors. And of course they will want to see the view, so that's why the trees had to go. Oh well...nothing stays the same in life...we have to adapt and move forward! God bless you...praying you stay strong for all the stuff you have to do! Blessings!!Pamela M.
