a break for grandparenting

 Two of our grandchildren are spending a few days with us.  Here we are ready for church and posing together...You might note my Christmas tree pin.  I have a collection of them and enjoy wearing a different one each day before Christmas.
 Thrift store shopping has kept my toy shelves stocked!  After setting up the farm, the kids counted 98 animals!  I had no idea!  I've found several old sets of Lincoln Logs.  It has been a long time since I have built anything, but after several attempts, I managed to construct this small cabin.

  7. Hi Rebecca - I hadn't seen you on your garden blog and had wondered where you were. I was happy to see your post tonight and decided I'd just say 'hi' and happy holidays on one of your other blogs. It looks like you are having fun. Lani

  9. It seems harder and harder to find good old fashioned toys around here for the grandchildren. Thrift stores no longer sell any toys due to worry over lead or other contaminates in any toys newer or older. They won't take or sell any. Also they will not sell the older toys that are now deemed too small for young children as they can get them into their mouths. Like the little farm animals in your set. They only sell stuffed animals. I am so glad you can find them. By the way I love your showing us your clothing selections. You really have a great style sense. Sarah
