We did go to the YMCA yesterday ... and it was a GREAT choice. We had a good time with our friends Keisha and Darius and Griffin fell asleep in the car on the way home.
We have no plans at all for today, the 4th. Mike was scheduled to be out of town Thursday - Monday, however when he got to the plant there was a scheduling conflict, so the job was rescheduled. That means he is home with US this 4th of July weekend ... yaaaaa!!
Today Mike will be working on the porch addition ... Griffin will be playing in the little plastic pool (one of his favorite things to do) and I will probably be looking through some recipe books looking for some great new things to try.
Our town's 4th of July celebration begins at 5:00 pm and I think the fireworks are at 9:30. We may end up going to that if it doesn't rain.
I received a special package in the mail from my sister-in-law Bonnie yesterday ...
Included in the package was this picture ...
I showed Griffin only the face part of the picture and I asked him who it was. And he said "That's Griffin" ... he never says "me" ... it's always "That's Griffin". It was soooo cute ... it literally brought me to tears.
Well, needless to say ... it's not Griffin. It's Me! When I was a little girl.
Here's the full picture ...
And she also included a few more pictures, some things with my mom's signature on them and copies from her school years.
Thank you so, so much Bonnie that meant the world to me!!
And if you didn't see it ... the next post announces who the winner of my July 4 Bear Paper Piecing Give-A-Way was!!
I hope you all have a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend!

What a wonderful package from Bonnie. I know you will cherish having those items of your Mom's.
Love the picture of you as a little girl. Griffin does look like you...especially the eyes and that wonderful smile.
Happy 4th oh July to you and your family:)
Griffin looks just like you Missy:)
He has your smile.

I was pretty sure Griffen would recognize you really had your heart set on going to the YMCA big pool. I hope you thanked him appropriately for his kindness in taking you.---most guys his age aren't to keen having "girls" hanging on them.
Happy 4th..on the 5th:)
I love your photo..it does look like Griffin..so cute!
Griffin does favor you more than I thought. I always thought he looked alot like Mike, with your nose. But he does seem to have your eyes and smile. I'm glad you all had a great Fourth.
I could totally tell that was you. Could see it in your face. Too cute!
