Well.. we've been cleaning and setting up beds getting ready for my daughter Amy and granddaughters Jenna and Paige's visit from Ohio. I was to pick them up at the airport at 9 pm. Their flight was delayed and delayed and delayed and finally they had them de-plane. Then it was cancelled. Apparently the FAA had lost track of half the planes in the air due to an electrical storm. SO.. the poor dears had to take a shuttle to a hotel for the night. They are expected to arrive at 9 pm this evening. I sure do hope it goes as planned.
I laid a fresh tablecloth on the table and put out my small collection of patriotic decorations. Kristi gave me the cute Uncle Sam candleholder in the center, my new little figurines go great with him!
Now we're all set for the 4th of July which is coming at a rapid rate.
I also put up these luminaries with vintage patriotic designs.
I found this cotton boll wreath on Facebook "Corbett Unstuff" which goes with my stems in the old whiskey jug that was Kristi's dad's.
Here is the "bunk attic" we have set up for the girls. I hope they find it comfortable. Tomorrow we head to the beach. I'm looking forward to that.
My dear little dog Mocha has taken to spending a lot of time atop my easy chair. She will actually lay her head on the top of mine to nap. Now I must tell you, that is not very comfortable for me. :-) But I enjoy it for a moment and pet her and coo to her. We love her a lot.
So.. I guess I can go swimming today after all. Then I will come home and pack for the beach and wait for the girls to arrive. Wish us luck with that!! Have a super week.. I'll be back with some beach photos soon.
((hugs)), Teresa :-)
I'm sure the girls will love the attic bunkroom. It looks very comfortable. Are you staying long at the beach or just a day trip? I know how excited you are and how disappointed you must have been last night.
ReplyDeleteLove your patriotic decor. I bought a new bunting and tabletop decoration at Hobby Lobby last week. I need to take a picture of it to share. I'm at the lake today though, so no photos. It's quite chilly out here. 49F this morning so the furnace was running. That's crazy!
Have fun with your girls.
Blessings,
Betsy
We have some nice rooms at Newport for 2 nights.. right next to Georgie's Grill! :-)
DeleteOohhh, your table is so beautiful with the July 4th decor! So sorry your girls have been delayed... praying everything goes well tonight and they're able to arrive safely and on time. I love your little attic, they will surely enjoy it! Hugs and blessings, Teresa! ♥
ReplyDeleteI sure hope they are comfortable up there. We'll find out soon.. they land in a few hours. :-)
DeleteEverything looks very cozy for your girls. I hope they arrive safely at the appointed time. Have a wonderful visit!
ReplyDeleteThey are in the air right now and arrive in a few hours.. I'm excited!
DeleteYour table looks great, as usual! You have such a way with putting things together. I think the girls will love their hideaway in the attic. Looks very comfy! Our couch is quite deep (and I do have short legs!) so I sit in my favorite spot with a pillow behind my back. My chihuahua, Rosie, sleeps right across the top of the pillow across the top of my back and neck. It's really very sweet; if I'm sitting down, she's sure to be there with me. But it's like having a little mini heating pad in this warm weather! I usually have to have a fan blasting on me in the evenings. I wouldn't have it any other way. How we love our pets!
ReplyDeleteYour arrangement with Rosie sounds very sweet. Mocha is behind my head as I type. *love*
DeleteOh I hope those girls arrive!! Enjoy the beach! I don't go to the beach after several hours of skin cancer.
ReplyDeleteWe never lay in the sun at the beach, we enjoy the ocean from our rooms or the car and just spend a bit of time walking on the beach. We're safe!
DeleteYour home looks very welcoming! I had planned to go swimming in the condo pool today, but didn't because of the cool breeze, and I have actually turned the heater on! I hope you had a good swim, and I hope your girls arrive safely tonight! Hugs! :-)
ReplyDeleteI had a pretty good swim.. Big Mike was there but the pool was nice and only 1 person in each lane.
DeleteEnjoy those girls Teresa xxoo
ReplyDeleteWe are and are at the beach now. Great dinner and sunset. xoxo
DeleteIt's all looking lovely ready for your granddaughters, I hope the rest of their journey went well. Love the birds hanging down your wall, very pretty. And you made a lovely job of your attic, I remember when it was being done. Great to have a room for them all to share. Have a fantastic time with them. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteThey made it in by 9 pm last night. We stayed up too late chatting.. and are at the beach now. hugs!
DeleteYour home is a delight all set for your visitors and of course 4th July. Wishing you a wonderful time with your family at the beach creating treasured memories.
ReplyDeleteWe all settled in our hotel rooms.. more adventures tomorrow. :-)
DeleteI am sorry the girls were delayed and hope that they have now arrived. I bet the love their attic nest, perfect for a holiday. Have a wonderful time at the beach. xx
