Hi To All Of You~~~
Nothing much going on other than just trying to stay busy and healthy during all this epidemic stuff. I once again will be posting on family stuff we are doing. It might be somewhat boring but it is all I have at this time.
I went to the Garden center with Tania and Ella to buy flowers to plant. Yes we kept our social distancing and we were very careful. I ended up buying a couple of patio tomato plants for Curt, a pretty blue flower for Ella and a beautiful hanging basket for Tania for Mother’s Day. This garden center in Colby is so nice. They have so many beautiful plants and flowers. I took this picture of Ella in front of this huge Gnome.
I thought of my sister as she would love this and she would want to buy it to put in her front yard. lol When we were done shopping, the girls took me home. Later we went to the kids house to help plant these pretty flowers. The pictures are of the planting fun. The dogs had so much fun playing in the pool that felt so good as it was really hot that day. The purple flowers in the big clay pot are the ones we bought Tania for Mother’s Day. Se took them out of the hanging basket and it filled her clay pot very nicely. She loves them which makes this Mama happy.
Yesterday, We got the joy of having Ella at our house for a little while. She was wanting to make cinnamon rolls so I told her to have her Mama drop her off and we would make rolls but all I was going to do was tell her what to do and help just a little bit. She was excited about that. So all I can say, is this little girl really did a great job. She listens to my instructions, measures really well and knows when I say to eye ball it, means no measuring. lol So here is the pictures from start to finish.

Finished product. I will say she tasted the icing a lot while she made it but after all it has to be just right. lol lol
Her and Grandpo could hardly wait till they could eat some. They both said they were good. She said, “MiMi we did good.” All I know it was so much fun. She even did her dishes.
Then she played with Sadie for awhile.
We ordered Pizza to eat for lunch, which is her most favorite. We played cards and she was the winner. After we ate, I put a Walmart sack in her ponytail and she got so tickled, I had to take a picture. I love her laughter.
We decided to take a walk and as we were walking, holding hands and visiting. I was telling her some stories about her mama when she was little and some stories about papa and me and when I got done and we were still visiting she said, “MiMi, we sure have a connection like no one else don’t we?” I said, “We sure do honey.” She said, ” I can tell you anything and you can tell me anything and we would keep secrets forever wouldn’t we? We sure have a special bond.” Oh this child just melts my heart and yes we do have a very special connection and bond. I couldn’t love her more if I tried. It reminds me of my Mama and Tania. They have a very special bond that has been since Tania was old enough to talk and there is nothing that could ever break it. I am enjoying making memories with this little sprite. We are having so much fun and she is right, our bond is like no other. Well there is nothing else going on in our lives as of now. I hope you all are enjoying family time.
Until next time, enjoy making memories because memories will always be with you.
