Yesterday
was a fun-filled day spent with my precious sisters, shopping, eating, laughing. We can get pretty boisterous whenever we get together, as this impromptu Kodak moment reveals. In the words of Pam Brown, “It's hard to be responsible, adult and sensible all the time. How good it is to have a sister whose heart is as young as your own.” We decided ahead of time to wear our cowboy hats, and I was the only one without my boots on. (I have every kind of boot in my closet, except cowboy boots, and I've been a Texan since 1969.) I must remedy this situation and can see more shopping in my future. Woo-Hoo!

I
had an eye doctor’s appointment this week and enjoyed the pleasure of sugar plum’s
company in the waiting room. She charmed everyone there, as you can just
imagine.
***
Most
of the week found me hot and sweaty and decorated with dirt. That’s what happens when you’re in the process
of prepping a flowerbed for some plant installations.
My
dear twin sister has hired me to create a little oasis area in her backyard. I’m
not anywhere near qualified for the job, as I garden by the seat of my pants.
Having said that, I think it’s going to be really pretty, and something that
she will enjoy in the cooler months that, hopefully, aren’t far away. I
will share before and after photos later; there’s still a ways to go. (Can you stand another photo of sugar plum? We recently took her with us to the garden center for a bit of browsing).

More
happy news for Rosy Revival this week. A reporter for our local FOX channel read
the recent write-up in the newspaper about the shop and came out to shoot a tutorial
for a Saturday morning DIY show. I tagged along and took some photographs. It was quite an exciting experience. The segment aired yesterday
and I’m sure there will be more about this on Rosy Revival’s blog and Facebook page.

Well, dear friends, that about wraps up my week. I hope you enjoyed a pleasant one, without too many worries.
Until we meet here again, keep the faith.

ReplyDeleteYou gals look like an advertisement for Macy's! I can tell y'all were having just too much fun! I didn't know you were a twin. How neat! Good luck on the plant installation that you're planning. Sounds like fun.....sort of. You know what I mean. Ha!
ReplyDeleteWhat a trio! I agree, Macy's should use this picture in their next ad campaign!

It's always good to catch up with sisters, I am go to visit mine in November she lives far away so I don't see her very often. Little sugar plum is very cute how did she get that name it suits her.

Sister time with BOTH sisters? I am having a hard time thinking of any more fun way to spend the afternoon. When I read about your adventures with Sugar Plum, I am always reminded of the joy that my oldest niece brought to our family when she first came into our lives. I so look forward to the day when, I get to be a great aunt and do it all over again.
ReplyDelete(As I tell her: I am a "great" aunt. I can't wait until I have the official title. )
Can I also tell you how happy I am that I see joy coming from your corner of blog land more and more lately? I have prayed for you all, you know...
Prayers are always needed and so appreciated, and it's wonderful having a prayer buddy like you. Prayer changes things!
DeleteBeing a great-aunt is amazing. You'll make a great one!
Random, unnecessary commas in my comment. I do not know what gremlin was typing. Good grief.
ReplyDeleteHehe ... had to laugh. You're just too funny.
DeleteHi Dayle,
ReplyDeleteHaving a 'sister get together' is something special.
I really enjoy the times both my sisters and I can be together...it doesn't happen often enough.
There can never be too many photos of your gorgeous Sugar Plum!!
Looking forward to garden pics.
Have a good week
God Bless

Sounds like a pleasant week indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt really is all about the simple things.
