Miscellany Monday

r

Yep, that's right, it's Monday again!  Is it just me or are they really coming faster and faster?  Just all the more reason for us to make everyday count.  I'm off to be miscellaneous..........

The Playhouse...........

 Doesn't this look like fun?  This is Hanna Beth's new play center/house.  Her Daddy, Grandpa and Uncle built this for her from the ground up.  It was not a kit either.  They priced the ones you buy and put together and then went and priced buying the materials themselves and building it.  The savings was unbelievable so with a collective effort our little Princess has something she will enjoy for years and years.


Miniatures.......... 

If you have been reading my blog very long then you likely know that I grow and love African Violets.  It was something that I began when my paternal Grandmother passed way.  She had always grown them when I was a little girl and a friend, who knew this, sent me two African Violets when she died.  I decided at that time I was going to see if I could raise those two and now I've probably grown a dozen or more and currently have 5 that are thriving.  While I have researched growing violets I never knew that they came in a miniature size until about a month ago.  A friend of mine was telling me and then sent me a website where I could order some.  And, that's what I did.  I was so intrigued by their tiny size (2" in diameter) and decided to "try my hand" with them as well.  They(pictured above)  arrived just a few days ago and I think they are so cute.  And, let me add, I just joined the National Society of African Violets.  Doesn't that sound impressive?  ~giggle~


Such creativity........

We had our annual Ladies Spring Event at our church last month.  The theme was, "Women of Influence."  You've heard me brag about a lady (in the picture above)  in our church that is a "master" floral designer and she did the above arrangement for the event.  Needless to say, it caused quite a chatter among all the ladies that attended. It doesn't matter what the occasion may be, this lady has the creative juices to design the perfect arrangement.  We call it "working her magic." 


 Grab a pole...........  

In the past month we've gone with our son and his family to a little pond not far from where we live to do a little fishing.  Well, I don't fish but rather enjoy sitting on the sidelines and watching Hubby, son and DIL fish.  Hanna Beth even gets "into" it once in a while.  And, as you can tell from the above pictures, it doesn't matter the size of the fish, it's just all about catching them.  We go late in the afternoon and it is so peaceful and a nice way to end the day and enjoy being with one another.  
  
May your week be filled to the brim with wonderfulness!
