It's been one of those weeks with just enough busyness and that's a rarity. It's generally too much going on or perhaps not quite enough. Love it when it works out to be a perfect balance of busyness. Now for some fragments from this balanced out week.
Tuesday of this week I attended my first ever District Garden Club meeting. It was a lovely event and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were probably about 85 women from across our state and a most fun group of women.
Four of us attended from our club. The host club did an excellent job with the decorations and the meal. They made us feel very special indeed.
The keynote speaker was a designer from South Louisiana and was a Master Flower Show Judge and after seeing her design work it was obvious as to why she had this designation. She had about 10 of her designs on display and they were just gorgeous. There was a design for anyone's taste for sure. In my "next life" I want to be creative like that. ~big laugh~

Yesterday was "elderly day" at Clancy's school so this is his look for the day. He had his shirt half tucked in and his walking stick. Bridget said he told her he wanted to wear tennis shoes with his jeans because that's what his Poppa always did. So, guess in his little mind his Poppa is elderly because he wears tennis shoes with his jeans. How funny is that.......Tommy got a kick out of it.
(sorry for the somewhat blurry picture, Bridget snapped it with her phone in a hurry)

These guys have worked hard the past 8-10 days hanging sheet rock in the new house. I never knew what a hard, hard job that was until now. Sheet rock is HEAVY and I truly do not know how their shoulders and arms hold up when they are putting it on the ceiling. But, they definitely knew what they were doing. And, in case you don't know, hanging sheet rock makes the biggest mess! It drives
me bonkers, but, no one ever said that building a house would not create a mess at times. ~laugh~
I met with a professional closet organizer on Wednesday and she is designing our Master Bedroom closets. It made me happy, happy to hear about all the various shelving, rods, drawers and such that are available to maximize every square inch of a closet. She is working with our cabinet designer on the cabinetry for the closets. For an organizational enthusiast such as myself, this is TOPS!

I could NOT resist getting this precious fall romper for our "yet to be named" baby girl for next fall. I stopped by a shop this past Tuesday that had all their fall clothing 40% off and not only did I get this romper, but I got big sister, Hanna Beth, the matching dress. I don't imagine that their Momma will get by dressing them alike for any length of time due to Hanna Beth's age, but I'm hoping she will think it is special next fall to dress like baby sister. I love Chevron print and I love pumpkins, so this was a no brainer and being on sale was "icing on the cake."
