A short End-of-March post

My journals store many memories. 

Just recently my daughter Lauren made labels for the spines.

I like the way the years are clearly visible for quick reference.

Thanks, Lauren, for printing the labels and helping attach them.

My collection looks rather impressive now. 

 There's no doubt I enjoy painting. 

It is good for my soul.

I am very happy when someone chooses one of my paintings.

Working in the flowerbeds is another activity I enjoy. However, I don't have much success when it comes to gardening. Hopefully there will be blooms later in the spring or summer.

Houseful

 When Les and Pennee visit from Texas our house fills up fast with family. Our total was seventeen this time (Lester, Pennee, Kiera, Chloe. Lauren, Tallulah, Etta, Jo,  Gunner, Micah, Nick, Lucas, Jason, Garrett, Chance, Corkey, and Me). Our den space became crowded as we all gathered together. Their visit was short, but Pennee, her girls, and I always try to squeeze in shopping at Abandoned Antiques. Lauren and her little ones even met us there. 

Pennee and I shared photos to remember our shopping experience.  

Kiera and Chloe were wonderful with Tallulah and Etta at the store and here at home. I asked these two beauties to look my way for a photo.  

Pennee got the four girls to pose long enough for this quick photo.

Oops, someone's foot photobombed the shot! 

Five Amazing Years

Someone very special was born in March. Wow, she's already five!

Happy Birthday, Tallulah Grace!
