A Perfect Day with Madeline and Lovely Sisters ATC Card

Because I'm on vacation my granddaughter Madeline and I spent the day together. I picked her up before noon and we had a great day and I drove her home for 8:00 p.m. Even the weather cooperated and it was so nice and warm and sunny for a change.

We went to 2 parks which were close to each other. I'd never been to the 2nd one and yet she told me which way to keep turning as we drove to get to the other one. Smart for a just turned 5 year old. We had a picnic on a blanket. Tomorrow I'll tell you about that yummy lemonade Madeline has in her drinking cup...

She had fun on all the equipment at both parks and met another "Madeline" one month older than she was. They both had long blonde hair and were so cute together.

We fed the ducks and the geese. They sure were hungry.

Then we visited Big Al's Aquarium to look at fish and a big shark they allow you to feed on certain nights of the week. We were out for 5 hours before coming to my place and having dinner and we watched "The Reef" and coloured. It was a fun filled day for both Madeline and Grammy.

A very special day and I loved our one-on-one day together.

and also thank you Patti!.....

Another special I wanted to share is from my blogging friend Patti from TreasureBarn. She makes beautiful ATC cards. I enjoy reading visiting her blog and if you haven't done so before be sure to visit.

When I saw one she had named "Sisters" I commented on how beautiful the card was. Patti was so thoughtful she sent it to me! It came with a handwritten card and when you flip the ATC card over she has signed and dated it. Thank you so very much. I just love the card.

I hope you have had a wonderful day today.... Judi xoxo

We had our annual picnic at work on Monday. One never knows what the weather will be like it can be rainy cold and dismal like this year or it can be 90F. We have a lake and its wonderful to be on it when its a hot picnic. As it was we were in the tent most of the time eating and keeping dry.

What was fun this year was having "Cartoon Bob an Airbrush Muralist" there to do caricatures of us. He was great and so fast and captured something about each of us. He asked us what we enjoyed doing and away he went with that.

This is me. I told him I enjoyed travelling and these are some places I've been to.

I was so chilled after the picnic that I came home and had a couple of cups of warm green tea. I can only drink decaf and it can't be too late in the evening or I'm up for hours. Well I realized this morning it was organic tea and not decaf tea and thats why I was still counting sheep at 2:05 a.m.

Hope you have a lovely day today and wherever YOU are... its sunny and warm! Judi xoxo
