Wise Woman

I was driving home from work tonight and I was recalling some advice my Grandma has given me over the years. It made me smile to know that she is always looking out for me and is a wise, wise woman!
1. When I went to Mardi Gras in 2001, my Grandma wrote me a letter and told me not to talk to strangers. ( I was 20 at the time!)
2. When Ron and I were house-hunting my Grandma told me to make sure that the our front door looked like the rest of the doors in the neighborhood!
3. When Ron and I got married, my Grandma told me to make sure that we insure my wedding ring!
4. When Ron and I had kids, my Grandma told me to make sure that we take the girls to plays, musicals and theatre!
5. My Grandma also once told me to safety pin the socks before I did laundry to keep the pairs together!
I love my Grandma and plan on getting more advie from her in the future!

Bathing in Swimsuits!

Ron bought Tia a bikini! You would have thought that Tia had died and gone to beach heaven. Tia and Sydney put on their bathing suits and played swimming pool in Tia's room. The ground was the pool and their beds were the diving board. They had a blast. To top the bikini-night off, the wanted to take a bath with the swimsuits!
Tia and Sydney were having a blast in the tub. Ron and I were folding laundry just listening to them splash away. All of a sudden, Tia shouts," Mom, Dad come in here!" Ron and I went in only to find that they had taken the luffas and "stuffed" their swimsuits! It was hilarious! I do not remember doing things like this at 6 going on 7. Girls will be girls!!! ( It was quite the Kodak moment. Too bad the photographer was too busy laughing to think about snapping a photo!)
