Summer started off slowly and lazily.
Sugarwings went to North Carolina for a few weeks, Rich started a job in Nebraska.
I was on my own with just the doggies as company.
Then, BLAMMO! Both grand fairies arrived from out east and we had non stop fun, making the most of our time together.
We had parties, we went to movies, restaurants, shopping, did crafts, spent time in Nebraska with their Pop Pop, went shopping, went to the zoo, a Royals game, and did I mention shopping?
The littlest grand fairy wanted to do all the nostalgic things they remembered from their childhood.
Uhm, she is 13 now.
So we ate at her favorite places, and I did my best to spoil her to pieces, with popsicles in the hot tub, some splurgey shopping trips, and letting her pick out any jewelry she wanted from my shop.
We had planned on going to the Omaha zoo, but realized that sometimes a day just to relax is as much fun as seeking fun on the run. But we did make it to the KC zoo for a couple hours one day. It was a big hit, and I wondered if skipping the Omaha trip had been smart. Oh well, that’s available next time, it’s a pretty cool zoo.
There is only so much time in a summer break.
I treasured every bit of this one. When you have teens that will hold hands with you as you stroll through the mall, that is a memory to hold onto forever.
Summer is winding down now. Dewdrop is back in NC, Sugarwings starts school this week. I’ll be back to nonstop work in the studio to get my Christmas sparkly inventory created. The flurry of excitement, giggles, busyness, (and shopping) is done.
