Normal Daily Life...

Tulip loves baskets and boxes...
 


Roxanne visited.  She enjoyed her book.
 

Games aplenty!  Phase 10, Uno, Scrabble, Skull island adventure, By Golly.  Good fun!
 


Tulip on her platform!
She spends a lot of time there.
 

  This morning Phillipa and a friend were playing Piranha Panic
and Tulip was eyeing the balls and pawing them...
So funny!
 

 
The annual sewing marathon Dianne participates in
 for Miss Penny's dance and drama production.
This year the theme is "The King and I"
Gorgeous fabric!
Each of the bags has the pieces for the different costumes.
 


And the days go by with ordinary living.
Very satisfying...
