The Dancing Flowers

From Mrs. Lundgren for Shelby's garden....

The Little Gardener

Avery spent the day with Grammie & Papa yesterday as Mommy & Daddy & the big girls had appointments in Chicago. After I picked her up from Aunt Lori, the first thing she wanted to do was water the flowers. So she watered and watered and watered the flowers. After lunch, I decided to do some weeding while she was watering. After a while, Avery said, "Grammie, I want to help you." So I got her a shovel and a bucket and she started digging in the dirt. She was working so hard and being so cute I just had to get my camera. Aunt Lori and Auntie Lu, these clips are for you!




She filled that bucket almost 2/3 full with that small shovel. I use a small cart/stool with wheels to sit on when I weed in the garden. After a while, Avery told me she wanted "one" too. So I found a stool for Avery to sit on......it didn't last too long. It was windy and I think her hair kept getting in her face....that led to "whew"!

Dee & Me & Kathy & Judy

My best friend, Dee, visited last week. Because of distance, we don't get to spend much time together. We really enjoyed hanging out together. The highlight of our time was seeing former WGN radio personalities, Kathy O'Malley and Judy Markey. They spoke at the Rockford Professional Women's fundraiser. It was great being in a large room of "girlfriends". We even got our pictures taken with them.
