Dried Hydrangeas....

I dried some of my hydrangeas and put them in  some old white pitchers. I love the way they look together. Have not had much craft time for myself lately. With Emma here this weekend, we surely will make some thing fun.
 I had a great day at her school yesterday.  At the book fair she bought a "spy kit", so I will have to be careful what I say. LOL.  She's too funny at times.
  Her face lit up when her other grandmother, Papaw Ted and I walked into her room together. I will have to remember that face. It was also Grandma Irene's last day at school too. I thought she had a grandson younger than Emma, but he is one year older.  Irene's son Matt is my SIL. He is Emma's dad. Well it turns out that Emma's teacher was also her dad's teacher in 5th grade.  She looked too young .:):) Mrs. Miller said she was fresh out of college then. This is her 29th year teaching. Many kudos to her.
  Well I am going to get busy here. I will post , once I can load my photos, anew.  Bless all of you for a great weekend.

    1. Thank you Laurie. I am glad Emma has this teacher. The year her mommy went through breast cancer/chemo..she had a mean teacher...who showed no compassion when Emma was confused. It totally broke my heart. You don't dare say anything for fear they will treat the child worse. Blessings. xoxo,Susie

  7. My sister's first grade teacher was also my mom's first grade teacher. She tried to get me into her class, but it was full. Everyone wanted Miss Davis. How cool that this is happening in your family also.

    The dried hydrangeas are lovely. I have never tried to dry any. I think it must be difficult. Mine would probably just die.

    1. Kathy, I had a social studies teacher right out of college and all my daughters had him as they went through high school. We love that guy. I just picked the hydrangeas and let them dry in the vase...it worked for me. xoxo,Susie

    1. Boston Boy, The more people we love the more it hurts at times. I love my grandkids to pieces, but watching them grow and take on life breaks my heart for them. I see some opf them struggle to do better at just getting an apartment and keep a car running. Well you know, LOL just like we did ourselves. xoxo,Susie

  11. Oh, what a fun time. I am sure she will remember it forever. If I had grandkids, I would have so much fun going. We used to go eat lunch with Craig once a year in grade school and had so much fun doing it.

    1. Tete, They used to serve lunch to the grandparents..now it's ice cream.:) I remember my girls eating lunch for a $1.65 a week. Totally amazing. Now almost all eat for free. We used to have to run home and then run back to school at lunch. Had to do what we had to do to survive. I miss it all. LOL xoxo,Susie
