Gals - Gowns - Grands - Goodies, and Guys ...Oh 'G'
It's always a good week when I get to see both of my daughters in the same week! That certainly doesn't happen often enough since one lives an hour away here in Georgia, and the other lives over two hours away in South Carolina. It's not so bad now that we have many ways of connecting, and even seeing one another, with the help of phones and video.
My daughter from SC came to visit for a few days, we had a nice time spending one day shopping my favorite Antique/Thrift shops, scoring greatly I might add! And, I'm pleased to say that I now have some new projects and will be sharing those here real soon. We topped off our day with a delicious Italian meal at a favorite restaurant, my early birthday treat for her birthday next week since we won't be together to celebrate it then, and later we enjoyed some glasses of wine out on our back porch. The weather has been quite enjoyable of a morning and in the evenings, too.
Here's a little peek at some of the thrifty treasures I scored. I have plans to use them as my home decor very soon, and I have some makeovers to do on a couple of them first before I share them!
The next day we met up with my other daughter so we gals could all go wedding gown shopping with her, and one of her bridesmaids! Exciting times planning a wedding next year! We have gone looking at wedding gowns one other time before, but this time...
She said YES to the dress!
Bridesmaid/Friend, Mother of the Bride, Bride, and Matron of Honor/Sister
She sure did, and it's so perfect!! It was a very special moment, filled with many tears and lots of joy! "Even the 'Bride' cried!" I am now even more excited for the big day!
~ I'm so happy for her!

I sent some goodies home with my daughter to give to the grands, since they were at school and unable to visit along with their Mother at this time.
Sometimes it's the little things like "getting a bag of goodies sent from Grandma" that makes an ordinary day, extraordinary!
And, seeing their happy smiles are the sweet reward for me! ♥♥

This guy, my guy, had a birthday this week! However we didn't get to spend it together because he was on the trip of a lifetime! ...traveling Route 66 from Los Angeles to Chicago, along with a good friend of ours, via their motorcycles. They took over two weeks to do the route, spending some nights in hotels and some camping out. I say "I am the best wife ever!" He just got home today and has lots of photos and video to share, and numerous stories to tell.
He sent me this photo when they were at the midpoint.
These guys have been on quite an adventure!
Now it's time to enjoy our weekend, and then all should be back to normal around here, whatever that is? I'll be back real soon with some makeovers that I can't wait to share with you!
I hope you are having a great weekend!
