IT has been so cold and gloomy for ages that my daughter and I thought a good day outside at Mimi's house was in order. We played most of the day outside yesterday.

If no girls come along at some point, I will find another family member who loves Mother (there are tons) who will cherish the dresses. They are very precious to me. I might even frame one of them. I have pulled out so many things for Tucker to play with here since I needed stuff to have for him. He has enjoyed all of them. I have some Barbie stuff too if I get a girl.

It kind of came to me because one would think we never have autumn here, but it arrives in mid December. The trees across the bayou are colorful -well some of them are. The water levels rise and fall with the seasons too. I hope a little granddaughter will come along with Paul Allen and Katie in time to wear them. My mother was an expert seamstress and when I think of anything that sums her up it would be her sewing for me, so they are very special.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-10593507976609268452021-02-25T07:31:40.912-06:002021-02-25T07:31:40.912-06:00Lemony is much better this morning.

She has gained weight due to the inactivity too. He is going to do some blood work in 2 weeks when she finishes her medicine that he gave her to see if she is hypothyroid because she has gained a lot of weight but is not eating nearly that much. I hate to see them grow old. I was hoping for 16 with her. Her spirit is very young, but her body is not cooperating.I am back in tune with many shows for kids now. Lots not worth watching, but Paw Patrol is adorable.I will definitely keep the dresses in the family. If Paul Allen and Katie don't have some girls then I will look for a family member that loves my mom and will treasure them too.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-82760233977026583262021-02-25T07:18:48.575-06:002021-02-25T07:18:48.575-06:00I am trying to print some of my blog each year.

I can't wait to see what each month brings. Even though January is a cold month, it does have a certain beauty to it. <br /><br />The smocked dresses remind me of mine as a child--my grandmother was a whiz with needle and thread and made me some beauties. I sure wish I had them (although I'm sure I won't be getting a granddaughter with our family history! :) That's okay--honestly, as long as the baby is healthy. <br /><br />Cute pups you found--I know Tucker will enjoy them. I sent my oldest son's stuffed Curious George out to CA for my grandson and Baby B loves it. So glad I kept it!<br /><br />Hope Lemony is okay--it's so hard to watch our precious pets fail. Take care now--enjoy these last few days of February! ♥Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-85405105761813154882021-02-24T09:30:47.516-06:002021-02-24T09:30:47.516-06:00That is a great idea to take a photo of the same o...That is a great idea to take a photo of the same outdoor space each month to document the changes.

I am very sure you could sell them for a pretty penny, but they are heirlooms and should go to family. Even if you don't have granddaughters, maybe a great niece will come along.<br /><br />I had saved a Gunne Sax outfit (vest and skirt) I sewed for my daughter as a first-grader. When I thought of giving it to her oldest daughter Julia, it was already too small for her. So when Arielle turned 6 in November, I tried again. Perfect. Ari loved it and wore it to church the very next day.<br /><br />Glad you could enjoy some wonderful weather on Sunday! It's 44º here right now. Windy, though, so it feels like 38. Nice and sunny, however. Hope we can get out for a walk later.<br /><br />Yes, do write down that stuffed dog story. A precious memory indeed and someday the grands will be intrigued to know the backstory.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-51151731226233081652021-02-24T08:33:09.185-06:002021-02-24T08:33:09.185-06:00Love the shots of the Bayou and I like the idea of...Love the shots of the Bayou and I like the idea of a monthly snapshot of it.

Love the fair story, I'm not a fan of fairs either, I don't like rides, the food and the pushy carneys. I think you got a nice one who took pity on Paul Allen. The stuffed animals are cute. Never heard of the dog show! Please save those smocked dresses for future generations, they will be heirlooms.

Now when carnival people feel sorry for you that is something to remember. Poor Lemony....we went through that with Mollie Grace, our neighbor's dog that we loved so much. Now they have a 7 month old rescue pup that is giving them fits.lol His name is Murphy and cute as can be...he is a retriever of some fancy kind. His original owners did not socialize him at all so now it is the Johnson's job. I admire the dedication of all you pet owners. Just heard that Landon is on the way home from Bham. He will always be my little boy!! And those dresses...save them for Katie and Paul Allen. I know what you mean about them, they are precious heirlooms.Arlene Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845514896764280013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-79434290540229569802021-02-23T09:35:15.951-06:002021-02-23T09:35:15.951-06:00I hope Lemony has a good visit to the vet.

I may do a part of my yard that way. Glad you got so much done this winter season. I've not. Have found it hard to be motivated during this long year of Covid and Election Madness. I've done pretty well with exercises, but cleaning not so much. Cute story with the dogs. I didn't keep anything from when my daughter was young. Stay warm, stay well, and hope you're able to get your vaccinations. It's a chore in many areas.Sandyhttps://4ccccs.blogspot.com/2021/02/knitted-crocheting-listening-to-audio.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
