Whoopsie daisy

I kind of wandered off there, didn’t I?

I don’t know where the week went, truth be told.  I don’t have a lot to show for it, that is for sure.

We had a lovely,  much too short visit with my sister Kate, BIL Robert and my Dad.  I love it when my Dad comes up here.  There is just a nice routine to it.  He has a chair in the corner of the kitchen/eating area.  He’ll get up and check on the goats to see how they are getting on.  He’ll read.  He is the perfect, no effort house guest.   So were you Kate and Rob! 

We are a bit off the beaten path so it thrills us to no end when family wants to come up and visit us (ahem…).

On the Wednesday before last weekend my lovely neice Sara came by and she was bearing gifts!  A find quality in a person, don’t you think?  She was actually just the messenger – the gift, quite a delightful surprise, was from Clarice of Storybook Woods!  Color me shocked.  And so honored.  I almost didn’t want to open it but got over that quickly.  Isn’t that the most adorable, sweet wrapping you have ever seen.  I’m getting inspiration for my Christmas wrap…

Inside was a sweet little plate that perfectly goes with others in my small collection.  I have just the perfect spot for this.  Thank you Clarice.  I am so touched.

This weekend will be painting the before project.  Wish me luck.  I’m the world’s suckiest painter.
