![]() ![]() We played on the playground and sledded down the hill at Tyler Park. We played touch football and kickball and soccer on the open lawn of the church. We rode our bikes all around, up and down the hills. ![]() ![]() It was a great neighborhood to grow up in. The house is on the corner of a street with a big hill and a relatively flat street that dead ends into a church. A post war, GI bill-sort of neighborhood called Tyler Park. Grandaddy and my grandmother moved to this house from N Barton Street in Arlington when my mom was three or four. My room was the window above the porch and the first one on the side of the house. I always consider this my home, but never actually call it “home”. Her face makes my heart so happy I can hardly stand it! I picked her up and hugged her and started my day. I was all smiles this morning when little Adele greeted me from my comfy chair. He told he almost gave me mine for Valentine’s day, but he’s glad he waited because the look on Sundance’s face made it all worth it. I thanked YBW again and told him it was kind of him to get both dollies. Redhaired “Adele” for me and brunette “Jeanne” for Sundance.Īfter Sundance left I took my dollie upstairs to our bedroom. Then he presents us with the precious dollies we fell in love with when we went to say goodbye, Why Not?. He comes into the room with his hands behind his back. Sundance and I looked at each other waiting for him to find the pressie I left on his chair. They were of metal banging and rustling plastic. But the noises were not those of him emptying his pockets like he normally does. (They were very close friends in elementary school.) There were hugs and kisses then he went into the other room. We came back home and hung out while I made her some bows. We went to lunch, (Mexican, YUM!) went to get our hair done, (two cute new dos) and ran errands (to purchase ribbon at AC Moore). Sundance and I spent the afternoon together yesterday. March first (start of meteorological spring) cannot come soon enough, I’m ready to hang this new wreath on the front door! That’s a sure sign spring is on it’s way! Nats pitchers and catchers reported to Viera, FL for spring training this morning. Spray painted a wooden letter yellow, hot glued it on and attached the bow. I removed the bow from one of the wreaths I used for the church doors when we got married. I asked YBW to choose between two different ribbons because I couldn’t decide. I’m making a new wreath for the front door to usher in spring. The second is the most adorable green gingham! I don’t even like anchors and I freaking LOVE this ribbon! The first is burlap with tiny navy anchors. Sundance and I went shopping for ribbon Wednesday and I made two sets of bows for her. I learned how to make them from one of the old girl scout moms when I was a teenager. ![]()
