Cozy


I am getting cozy with old wool blankets.  
Frankly this weekend has been exhausting. 
CC, our daughter, finally made it home from college Friday night. 
She was lost, rescued by her aunt, and many hours late. 
It was her first time driving that two hundred miles from the mountains. 
Thank you all for your encouraging comments on Friday.


Then on Saturday we saw that vampire movie of course. 
Had lunch and went to Costco with nine thousand other shoppers. 
Right when I went to sleep last night CC woke me up. 
She's home for sure.
I would not trade her for a band of flying monkeys.

Happy Sunday
Olive

  1. All's well! And, a beautiful Pendleton. Or Woolrich. I can't remember who made that plaid, but you probably do.

  8. So glad that CC finally arrived home safe and sound, Olive. That was a long drive for her, and she did well. My youngest daughter (34) went to see the latest Twilight movie last week, and she said it was the best one yet, although a little different from the book. I love that quote, that you wouldn't trade your daughter for a band of flying monkeys! That did make me smile. I guess I feel that way about my two daughters as well. Enjoy it whilst CC is home with you.

  9. That plaid blanket really does look cozy...actually we have been in the 50's all weekend which is a real treat.

    I am so happy that CC made it home okay. I am totally unnerved when my kids have to drive. I always think the worst.

    Hope you are having a great weekend.

    XO,
    Jane

  14. I am so glad to hear that another mature adult went to see the "vampire movie". My grandchildren talked me into going to the midnight show on Thursday. I am really getting too old for that but we had a great time on our "girls night out". Glad your daughter is home safe and sound.

  17. Olive, Remember all those other times your girl woke you up. When you said that, I thought of her being sick . I always hated my girls being sick...we mothers would rather be sick ourselves. Anyway, you know those darn flying monkeys are creepy.LOL I know you love your girl:):) xo, Susie

  18. We don't have a Costco and we haven't gotten into the vampire stuff.
    I LOVE that footstool!!!

    So glad she made it finally safely....I'll bet she studies a map before leaving next time. She'll have every turn down to a science. One of the many things college teaches you besides classes.

  25. I'm willing to bet a dollar to a donut you've never had a sounder sleep...once she was home.
    Enjoy her homecoming and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
