Another Trey Day

Trey is our 11 month old grandson. 

He is our son's little boy.

I have the privilege and blessing of babysitting

 him every Wednesday, 

since he was two months old.

Wednesdays are known as "Trey Day".

We play, play, and play on Trey Day!

I have been teaching Trey American Sign Language.

Trey now knows several signs like,

 More, Dog, Cat, Bird, Eat, Drink and Listen.

He has been signing back to me and his parents!

Hooray!

This is a picture taken with Cooper, their dog.

 Trey was just a few weeks old.

This is today.

Cooper is the most patient, loving, understanding and 

caring dog in the world.

Trey loves to climb, back and forth, all over Cooper, .

Cooper loves the attention!

Thank you God,

for another play day on

Wednesday, Trey Day.

All Hands On Deck (or toes)

 This is a picture of our Little Cottage.

We are between the two big trees.

I took this picture from across the street 

so you could get a good perspective.

We are getting ready for visitors from Boise, 

(which means 40 little toes and 20 big toes).

Because our Little Cottage is so small, 

we needed to come up with more room.

The deck was a perfect place to expand for the Summer.

Except, the wood was full of splinters!

 Tom and I got busy and applied this heavy duty paint on top.

It turned out beautiful.

Bring on the big & little toes!

So Long Old Friend!

 Singer Sewing Machine  - Touch and Sew.

I had to say, Good-bye to my old sewing machine.

I bought it way back in 1972, used.

Oh, the things I have sewn!

Clothes, curtains, quilts, Christmas presents, repairs, 

costumes, aprons, doll clothes,

the list goes on and on.

This is the culprit!

I was right in the middle of a very important sewing project.

 The repair was going to cost more then a new machine.

Hello new machine!
 A Singer Simple

What an appropriate name for me.

I wanted a machine that just sewed.
 One that I didn't have to takes classes to understand.

I even get her a name.
 It's Suzie.

Look at the very important project I finished!

 They are called, Road Trip Pillow Cases.
 These are for our grandchildren, when they visit this summer!
I'm going to fill the pockets with books and toys.

When they get here they can put their PJ's in them.

Can you tell how excited I am that they are coming here to visit?
Now, it's time to mail them,
so they can use them for the long road trip
to Grammie -Goo's House!!!!

I found the idea here.
