Summer has finally arrived - not officially, but here in the South, as soon as school is out and the kids kick off their shoes and celebrate, you know that summer is here. It was an exciting school year for us as our youngest daughter opened up her heart and home to two exchanges students who became part of our family this past year. Sarah, from Germany went home last week and Nadir, from Spain goes home Sunday. We'll miss them - but daughter #2 and family are already saving us travel miles to visit them both next summer.
We've been busy lately and I've neglected my house for such a long time. I'm ashamed to tell this, but just last week I took down my Easter tablescape in my dining room. Well, in my defense I did put up the bunnies weeks ago....but dishes and tablecloth were still there. Hey! I've done worse - once I left my Christmas tree up until February!
But this not about table setting - though I will show you one quick picture before I finish the post.
I've been doing a lot of blogging - not here, but on my other blog since most of my "Life's Happenings" lately have seemed to be consumed by the summer yard sales and flea markets - and an occasional trip to a thrift shop or two. You can read my summer happenings over at
Flea Market Junky.
Today, I'm just giving a quick recount of our summer so far.
A little beach time....
Seeing new life - 4 new baby chicks with a protective mother hen....
Saying goodbye to Sarah and Nadir with a little party...
