On Monday I sat with little Andrew and his baby sister Anna when their mom took their older sister to dance class.
Of course I had to get some pictures....
Here's Andrew with his ever-present Superman...

And here's sweetness herself, Little Cupcake...

In other news, last night I went with my mom to the annual Christmas party at the Parkwood Retirement Center. It was WONDERFUL. The food was amazing.... as was the entertainment... and the company....
That's me, Mother, Bob and Sarah...
(We talked about other things, too - Baptists and Methodists; teaching school; Nebraska Huskers (Bob) and Arkansas Razorbacks (Sarah), so then we had to talk about Baylor, of course.)
Here was the entertainment downstairs in the main eating area...

Then we went upstairs and saw this beautiful ice fruit bowl...

... and we heard a marvelous harpist playing Christmas carols...

Walking back from the party, I snapped this shot of Mother near the gazebo in her courtyard.

It was a fun time for sure.

My next post will be about things I like... including some new facial cleanser and cream. They're called TIME DEFIANCE. (It's time!!!)

I love seeing the pictures of how well your mom is doing in her new place and how she's making friends. It reminds me of what a good move that was for my great grandmother. (I should call her more often.)
And that Anna, she's pretty sweet. I get to meet her tomorrow! :)
sounds like a fun week!
I'm going to copy some comments I've gotten on Facebook about this post, okay? (Not all my blogreaders are on Facebook.)

Nancy,
I love your blog and "voting" posts...you look great...keep up the great work. When Lee retires (in May), I hope we'll be able to do some traveling and get up "north" to see you.
