"To Grandmother's House We Go"

Cole & I drove down to spend a weekend with Grandma & Papaw! We didn't want to leave....of course. You never want to leave their house when you go. Grandma always knows how to make everything better! You get lots of love, have lots of laughs, and get very full bellies that make you crash!


All of us outside on a beautiful day!


I really wanted to take a picture of the fried okra (my fav), but what I really wanted you to see is this big ole' tub of butter that sat with us for dinner. As you can see, we count every calorie when we go to Grandma's house:)

I was lucky enough to get a teaching/refresher course in crocheting. She taught us grandkids a LONG time ago how to crochet. Back then I was trying to make a placemat and it turned into a hot air balloon in shape, so I gave it up! I thought I would put the past behind us and give it one more shot. So, I started out making some booties for Brady-man. Too bad they ended up looking like they would fit one of us, because I bought the wrong thread!

Grandma wasn't quite ready for this one......she was a trooper when teaching me, because she almost missed her afternoon nap!

I've been practicing just about everyday since we've been back, because I did not want to forget what I learned!

My little cousin Afton came in for a visit.....

We had such a great time Grandma & Papaw......we hope you will let us come back again soon:)
