cute and modelesque

My fabulously wonderful grandpa and his fabulously wonderful wife

came for a visit from Alabama!

I adore them both so much!!

I tell you what...my Papa defines what a fun and loving grandpa is.

He adores his grandchildren...and great-grandchildren!!

Here is Nick during their visit, post surgery.

It's the only picture I have been able to sneak of him

with his injury.

I don't even have a pic of him in his football costume.

Darn it!

And lastly,

I must share a picture of my mother.

She will cancel all my Christmas presents

after this,

but I think it's worth it.

Because it absolutely explains ME.

She's cute and modelesque.

It's been nice knowing you all.

garage sale success

Where to begin?

Our garage sale was nothing short of exhausting,
adrenaline-rushing, FUN, boring, FUN, moments of time standing still,
FUN, oh and it was a complete
SUCCESS!!

We made $644.54!!

I gotta tell ya, I was a little unsure of what the outcome would
be because even though we had a few big items...we mostly had
little things (.10 here, .25 there).

But boy oh boy, did it add up!

And we were so stinkin' busy most of the day that I had
zero time to snap any pics.

But here are a few from Thursday afternoon
when my mom and I went out looking for political sign frames
that were only going to be mowed over anyway.
So we did a community service and took a few out of the
way for the nice people to make our
garage sale signs out of.
It's called recycling.
We're very earth-friendly.
And cheap.

=)

And here is my mom being the stealthy gal that she is...
(and I'm in the get-away car)

Mom, HURRY!!

And here is a quick shot of part of our treasures before
we put the finishing touches on our "boutique" format.We ended up having so much more stuff after I took this pic!


And here's Lucy helping make signs.
Ahem.

Once again,

I THANK, WITH ALL MY HEART,

my MOM and SISTER
for pouring so much of their time into this with me.

There is simply NO WAY I could have done it without them.

I'm so grateful that it's over,
but truly, it was a lot of FUN!!

But my house has been completely neglected for the last few
days so now I need to get it looking snazzy again.

Thanks for praying!!!

Bye for now.

Have a super weekend!!
