Surprise visit

This summer has been a good one so far. First Heather came to visit with Cayden and then this week Stephanie came to visit with Mabel. Oliver and Stella. This was the first time I have seen Stella and been able to hold her. She is very huggable and delicious. Mabel and Oliver made a late birthday cake for Mike and we all sang happy birthday. All 3 are darling and kept themselves entertained so beautifully. Grampy built block houses with them and grammy made a book for Stella to color in. She is quite an artist and may grow up to be one. Who knows! Oliver is as cute as a button and probably the quietest little boy that I have ever been around. He loved all of the cars and the helicopter.
They left after dinner tonight to drive back to Arizona. We will see them again in a week or so in Sundance. All of David's grandchildren will be there. 14, 8 years and younger plus their mommies and daddy's. It will be quite an event. It wasn't hard to say goodby this time as we will see them again up there. The faries, Charlie and Liliy, were visiting and Mabel watched them carefully because she said that Liley's eyes moved. They did bring them a couple of surprises like good faries do. They found them everytine the flew to a new place.

Our Faries

We have a fairy door at our house that the faries use to come and visit us. They are the only ones that can open the door. Annie and Jack have named them Charley and Liley. Sometimes they are here and sometimes they have gone back through
the door. Sometimes they just land someplace in the house and show up in unexpected places. They even leave special
treats for the children who visit us. I hope they are here when Mabel and Oliver get here. I caught a picture of them when they were visiting this morning. Annie and Jack want to touch them but if they did they may not come back so they just look. Of course they won't move as long as someone is looking at them.
Our fairies bring blessings to our house and good surprises.

Fun day

Sunday was a good day. The Matthew Parker's came for dinner as they always do on the first Sunday of the month. We have such fun with the four of them. Annie got her favorite desert which is Dibs ice cream and we had fried chicken, corn on the cob and potato salad. Also made fresh strawberry pie and a bananna cocoanut cream pie. The "faries" Charley and Liley were here and they kept flying around and Jack and Annie discovered they were gone from their usual place and had to go and find them. On my next blog I will post the picture of the fairy door and the faries. They come to visit often and bring good wishes and blessings on all that enter the house. It is fun for Annie and Jack and when Mabel and Oliver come next week they will get to see them too. Just wish you all lived closer so that you could share our Sunday dinners once a month. Sadie was so sweet and I am sure will gow to fast. Babies just don't last forever.
