A Surprise Visit

We had a delightful surprise this weekend. At the last minute, our son and his wife decided to come back and visit us for a couple of days on their way home to Texas. So we got to spend some more time with the best grandchildren in the world. What a blessing it was for us to see them twice this summer!
Needless to say I've done nothing for the past couple of days except play with them, so I haven't even looked at my blog, to see who has left a comment or been to visit any of you. I plan to stop by and visit all of you dear blogging friends over the next few days. I haven't forgotten you!
Decided to have a new banner for the new month. Those cupcakes in the previous one were a little stale! Sunflowers black eyed susans and daisies say "summer" to me.
See you soon.

    LOVE your new banner. It is so bright and fresh looking.
    The brownies & strawberries won't get stale if I have anything to say about it.

    Rhondi, I love your new banner. It does speak summer days in the prettiest way.

    I so understand your feelings about your surprise company. We love our children and a visit from them puts me in the happiest frame of mind. The grands are a bonus, too sweet to put in words. I am already thinking of my thankful post. Of course, it involves my grandchildren. Smile!

    I will add your 'Thankful Thurs.' to my side bar.

    Have a wonderful day, Jeanne

    Hi Rhondi
    It sounds like you had a great time with your grandchildren.

    What a great banner- Sunflowers are my absolute favorite flower- they seem like that are smiling. What a gorgeous pitcher _I have blue plates and dishes that have sunflowers that are my everyday ware.
    Thanks for brightening my day..
    Regards from A Western Canadian Quilter,

    What a wonderful surprise for your children and grandchildren to come back! It's amazing how much joy we get from our children all grown up and from their children and from watching the parenting going on there. I love the banner - so bright and cheerful this summer morning. Blessings, marlene
