I'm Back!

It's been awhile since I've posted.  Life is busy.  Yesterday after church we drove to East Lansing to take our granddaughter, Isabella, and her college roommate, Grace, out to lunch. We let Izzy pick the restaurant and she chose P.F. Chang's.  Good choice, Izzy!

School is winding down for them with only three weeks left.  In the fall she'll be a Junior.  It doesn't seem possible.

Jerry and I ordered Sesame Chicken and the girls each ordered something different.  To go with my Sesame Chicken I ordered a pot of Sweet Ginger Peach black tea [by Revolution] and it was SO good.

Late this morning my girlfriend, Lori, came over and we filled the teapot candy boxes and tied them closed with a bow.  I forgot to take pictures until after she left, but here they are in the boxes ready to transport to the ladies church tea on April 26th.  

My hubby gave us a jump start on the project last week by assembling the teapots for us.

After Lori left, I started working on children's Easter baskets for The Whitney's Tea With the Easter Bunny on April 19th.  As of right now, I only have to make 10 baskets. 

I have to wrap them in cellophane yet, but I think they turned out cute and will make the kids happy.

Great granddaughter, Juliette, turned six on April 3rd.  Since she's in California we didn't get to celebrate with her, but our daughter flew out to be with them and took our gift and sent pictures to us.

Since Lori was flying she didn't have a lot of space for presents.  So we gave her a card with money.  The card said she was "the cherry on top of ice cream" so I also got her a bag of Michigan cherry gummies.   It's been almost two years since she's seen us, so I pasted a photo of Jerry and me on the inside of her card to help her remember who we are.  We're looking forward to them coming to Michigan this summer for a visit.
