Home Happenings

 
SWEET Sister

came to visit and we had a great time.  Had fun!!!

 Spending some time together each August....17 years ago and I'm in a time warp.

 

 

Lil Miss dressed for the occasion of us watching her DANCE RECITAL.  Was fun to see her doing the routine along with the video.  Then she did an encore by dressing up in her play clothing.  A dancing clown to a free style tap dancing

fairy princess.

Just a blur of energy.

While Sis was here,

Lil Miss started school.

 

She's loving school!

 

 

 

 

I officially went into semi-retirement from being a granny nanny and returned to being JUST GRANNY.

I'm figuring out how to do that.

 

 

 

 

Gambino's Cheese Sticks/Pizza does this to us everytime.  Seriously....it does.

It's a tradition

to have cheese.

Can you say, "Cheese"

????????????????

 

 

We went looking for the bargains,
had our hair done, ate hot dogs and tator tots. 
Had our fancified coffees, laughed, had girl talk and shared stories. 

 

 

 

 

 SONIC TIME
does something to your hair.

 

 

 

 

 It is legal to eat M and M's
while watching movies.  They are like vegetables...just as colorful and filling!
Also, if there are peanuts inside....well hey,
now they provide protein.

Movie Time!
We did watch
The Help
and I can't help but think it is a great movie...a CLASSIC.

Louie Giglio's

INDESCRIBABLE
is a decent watch and encourages deep thought.
 

 

also Louie's.....
FRUITCAKE and ICE CREAM

Daughter gave us free tickets so we saw at the Movie Theatre
HOPE SPRINGS

Definitely an adult subject matter movie
and not for the young.


Sis's Hubby,
Hank returned and played Dinosaurs.

 

 

 

Hubby fixed his Award Winning Meatloaf

with Twice Baked Potatoes.

OH Honey....it was delicious. 

You have a winner there if you ask me.

 

 

Lil Miss sat the table all by herself and made us feel very welcomed with BOB THE BUILDER NAPKINS!

 

 

 

Then it was time to say bye.

The time sure went fast.

Sorry to see my Sis go.

 

Special memories.

Making Summer count,

a bride's bouquet

A Bride’s Bouquet

“The radiance of a truly happy bride is so  beautifying that even a plain girl is made pretty, and a pretty one, divine.”

Parlour and 3 Bedrooms

 

 

~Brookville Hotel Parlour~

 

Upstairs in the Brookville Hotel are a Formal Parlour and Three Bedrooms
for you to view and think about Once Upon A Time.

 

Abilene is the newfound home for the present day Brookville Hotel
that is no longer a Hotel,
but a wonderful place to dine on Family Style Chicken Dinners.

 

Upstairs are replicas of the way Brookville rooms  would have greeted her paid Guests.

 

Bedroom 1

 

 

Bedroom 2

 

  

Bedroom 3

 

 

I'm not sure which room I think is the most attractive.

Not sure which room I would even try to copy

in my own house if I could.

 

Which do you like?

 

Think it would have been delightful to stay!

Thank you for coming by

and visiting me at Home Haven.

Hope your day is going well.

 

One of the things I like about blogging and posting stills is that it gives me

an opportunity to call to remembrance what I saw. 

I can recall the places and study them more in depth

as I spend some time viewing the images. 

 

It takes me a while to see all that there is to see. 

With pictures I can slow down and enjoy the experience all over again.

 

I like the wood floors in this place, the wood furniture,

the lace panels hanging in the windows

and the simple feel of everything is in it's place and a place for everything.  

 

 

I'm encouraged to declutter my own home rooms.

 

God bless and may we be encouraged to live the kind of lives

that we need to,
