A Revisit

The Girlie went to Mommy and said, "Since Gramma was nice enough to make the trek back with us, the least we could do is take her someplace that she would really enjoy."
"Okay, Girlie. What did you have in mind?"
"Well Gramma really enjoyed going to the big barn when she and Papa were here for Christmas. Why don't we take her back so that she can see the whole thing? Plus, we can surprise her also with lunch with Daddy!"
"Sounds like a plan to me!"




The Graham house

90% of the house is original, including the windows, wood floor, and the bricks (which were all individually numbered)

This is the house's 2nd move. They just don't build them like they use to.

"Cheese"

Bessie the Cow

Girlie didn't like Bessie when she was talking.

So This is Snow

I'm not sure about this.

You want me to what?


Papa throwing snowballs




Oops.


Mommy's snowangel


Emma's snowangel


When the Girlie and her chauffeur arrived in PA, there was a couple of inches of snow. As the weekend came around, a couple more inches decided to fall. By Sunday it warmed up enough (25 degrees!) to take the Girlie out for a bit to play. The little Southern girl was very hesitant about jumping into the big pile of white, cold stuff! So with a little help of Mommy and Papa, the Girlie got out into the snow. Girlie was not thrilled about it, but did enjoy throwing snow balls at Papa so that made it worth the wet and cold. More to come...

Live in PA

Playing Connect Four. Girlie learned the color "black".



The balloon is ready to attack Papa!



Emma's new "belt". It's actually a handle for a tupperware container.


The Girlie decided to have her chauffeur (a.k.a Mommy) drive her up to PA to visit Gramma and Papa. What a fun time the Girlie had! She didn't get outside too much since the temperature only reached around 20 degrees, but she enjoyed the time of spoiling, games, and wrestling with Papa.
