Saturday

I saw this photo on one of my FB sites an it just looks so spring like! I had to share it. We had such a pretty day yesterday...60 degrees and some sunshine. I had the windows open for some fresh air and it was so nice.

I haven't been blogging much. I love it blogging, but it just seems like I don't have the time to do much lately. Ever since my health issues last August, I haven't been able to get back to normal in lots of area. I am feeling so much better now, so hopefully, this spring will bring more restoration in many areas.

I posted some photos of my little Irish doll collection on my Tasha group on Thursday so wanted to share them here. I do have a bit of Irish in me and just LOVE St Patrick's Day. Not sure how I will handle the dinner this year as I can't have corned beef or green cabbage. YIKES!

This first doll is an Avon doll from the 1990's. Her name is Colleen and she really is quite nice for a mass produced doll.

This little wee miss is a clothes pin doll that I found on Etsy. I think she is quite charming.

I'v had this little guy for awhile. He is all dressed in wool and tweed and he just looks Irish to me. Not sure where he is really from, but he seems quite happy living with the St Patty's things.

This little elf looks like he is a member of the Irish, so he likes to come out at this time of the year.

Yep, I am a nut about all things Irish. It's just fun. My youngest daughter has traveled to Ireland. Oh, I wish I could go someday.

Happy Saturday and don't forget to spring ahead tonight with you clocks...daylight savings time begins. I do wish they would just pick one time and stick to it. I don't see the purpose of this anymore. 

Saturday Fun!

We got our little grandson Otto for an overnight stay last night. He wasn't too sure about our changes with the remodeling of the house! He doesn't forget a thing and was even looking for my lip gloss in the bathroom. Guess I better get another one! He is my little sweetie.

Papa, as he has named Jimmy, aways finds some new toy for the little guy. They two of them were having fun making music and singing some tunes.

Otto was really getting into it after a bit of practice. It was nice outside and we enjoyed watching him play and run around the backyard.

He woke up shortly after we all went to bed and was scared. I'm not sure if he had a nightmare or what, but he wanted "gamma" and we finally took him into our bed. He settled down and fell asleep with his kitty and his softie (his blanket). He was up at 6:30 ready to start a new day. He had a good breakfast and had a nice bath.

We dropped Otto back at his home around 10:00 am and headed for the Aurora Antique Street Fair.
It's always a fun event and we haven't been able to attend for a couple years.

I think Jimmy was trying out for the Bullwinkle the Moose part!

I always find doll houses at these shows and unfortunately, I don't have room for another dollhouse...sigh.

It was a fun day with lots to look at and a few goodies came home with us...mostly things for Jimmy to sell in October. When you have to clean out things in your home, you really think about what you are buying!

We were pretty tired when we got home and enjoyed a little nap. Being a papa and a gamma is hard work, but we LOVE it.
