They are so pretty! I just love dressing little girls alike...I sometimes buy matching dresses for my son's two girls as they are only 18 months apart. I suppose it's a carry over from my own childhood, as my mom used to dress my sister and me in matching dresses. <br /><br />Secondly, your words about your home are heartwarming. What a picture of contentment you have painted! <i>"It is enough."</i> Perfect. Blessed. <br /><br />Finally, your weather sounds lovely.

Our second grandbaby is due any time now and we are wondering if we should buy pink or blue. We have enjoyed buying for the blue boy but there are so many pretty things out there for pink girls aren't there? When I return from a trip or days away I am always happy to see our little community as we cross the dam and of course our home. It sure is a lovely hot day today! Phew. Hubby's out mowing the dry grass while I enjoy the cool basement. hehehe Stay cool! Hugs.

I'm enjoying all my family home this weekend. It's kind of a bittersweet time, however. We'll not see Marley, the pup, after this next week. Son and his girlfriend (almost fiancee, he had the ring bought) broke up and Marley is going to live with her in MN where she's relocating. We all have come to love Marley and it's like she's part of our family now.Cheryl @ TFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947085477739983984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-11714953181049009852012-07-21T12:13:16.533-04:002012-07-21T12:13:16.533-04:00One of my most disconcerting moments happened seve...One of my most disconcerting moments happened several years ago when we had recently moved up Island. We were driving home from shopping and in the half-light of evening I subconsciously anticipated the joy of arriving home. Suddenly, it occurred to me that the home I was envisioning was NOT the one to which I was headed, but our former home. It was a sad moment.<br /><br />Your home looks welcoming and cozy.
