Gone were the stormy rains of yesterday and in its place was blue skies and warm temperatures!
It was short sleeves and bare feet around the Chapman Camper as I cranked open some windows and flung open the door.
Even the tomato plants think it's spring!
There is ONE ready to pick!
(I'll let HIM eat it!)
The only 'Christmas' around here today was in decorations and music.
This was a perfect day to start my traditional Christmas Letters.
However, this year I don't have the drawer with all my pretty papers and such so I have opted to use a box of cards. They are all the same design and I will write my 'letter' inside.
Every year I write to all my children and other special people in my life.
My oldest daughter, Summer, started this tradition when Amber and Ben were babies.
I still have the letters she wrote all those years ago.
Louis Dean went off to do errands and give me some alone time. Letter writing requires thought!
I kept busy doing some of my favorite things on this the fourth and final day of our 'Staycation!'
Over the course of this long weekend I finished a bottle of delicious Pinot and them promptly turned it into a wine light as a gift to Amber's nanny. We have come to think of April as 'family' during the time she's been with us. I'll give this to her at the little party we're having later this week.
The denim play quilt I was making for the quads is all done.
Washed and dried it is ready to wrap!
I noticed a small tear in the sheet I used for backing so I patched it with a denim heart.
You'd never know there had been a tear under there!
I rolled it up with the heart shape showing.
Louis Dean said I should have sewn FOUR hearts since it's for the quads!
I like to think of this as my Grandma Heart!
Each strip, seam, square represents love and prayers from THIS Grandma's heart for the babies.
Louis Dean returned from his errands and I had a good lunch all waiting for him.
Afterwards I thought this would be a good time to take a nap.......so I sent him outside to 'play.'
It was so nice out I was certain he could find something to do!
It was a risky thing to do!! I know! I KNOW!!!!
When I woke up and opened the camper door to see how he was doing......
THIS is what I saw!!!
To be fair - I had not told him NOT to unload the entire contents of his truck onto the patio!!
To his credit I snapped this.......
just as I'm closing my post!
Not entirely clean but MUCH better!!
Now I'm off to have Tea Time with my husband!!
Tomorrow it will be back to Quadville to care for the babies!
Wonder if they missed me?
