Absolutely Perfect

Happy Absolutely Perfect Weekend!

This weekend was so nice. The weather was blissfully beautiful. We had Elizabeth and Adelaide here for an overnight visit, we got some yard work done.

Friday I picked the girls up and brought them home with me for some overnight fun with Patient Grandpa and me. We had to do just everything that they love to do here, beginning with running to find their favorite "stuffed up" animals, a crocodile named Croc and a dog named Melrose. Elizabeth keeps Croc close at all times and Adelaide loves Melrose. They went with us the the ice cream shop after dinner. I didn't have the camera with me. Bad move on my part.

Saturday morning we headed off to town after breakfast and saying hello to the baby birds in the nest next to the front door.

We bought tomatoes and basil plants and a cookie at the farmer's market and met our friends Constance and Edgar. Elizabeth's cheeks are full of tomatoes and you can see Croc is ever near.

Then, because it was such a gorgeous warm day we headed for the beach for our first feel for the summer of sand in our toes.While we were swinging Elizabeth threw her head back and said, "I've got the wind in my piggy tails and Croc in my arms! What could be better than this?" Out of the mouths of babes. Do you see the gull just flying behind Adelaide's head? She spends her beach time chasing the flocks of gulls.

She wanders a lot, enjoying the sand and the gulls. She wasn't much interested in the water.

But Elizabeth was. She wanted wet sand to build the first castle (for Croc) of the summer.

None of us wanted to go home. It is amazing what a little nice weather and grandchild time can do to lift your spirits.

The Good-bye Window.
