A MIND OF HER OWN

 

Saucy, Olivia and Boo

 

 

A certain little girl has a mind of her own...

Olivia showed up a day early...

despite her scheduled c-section for Tuesday.

 

 

Grandma will arrive a day late.

That's okay.

I was extremely envious of the other family members

who were already holding her today...

but I'll get over it...

just as soon as I have her in my arms.

 

 

 

 

So I have been running around getting packed

and making sure that the man has everything he could

possibly want or need in my absence...

from fresh blackberry cobbler to Chicken Florentine.

 

 

 

His biggest concern came up right before he hit the hay.

He led me to his drawer and pointed into it.

I saw things in there;

underwear, handkerchiefs,

two pair of heavy socks, one pair of crummy socks,

and one lone nice sock.

 

 

He pointed at his bare feet.

I looked at them.

He pointed at the lone sock.

 

 

 

"Two feet, one sock."

"We could cut one foot off..."

I suggested rather helpfully.

 

 

 

 

He did not agree with my solution.

 I am not a big meanie.

I knew that he had 5 pair of socks on the laundry table

waiting to go into the dresser.

 

 

I think I'll bring him home a bag of socks as 

a souvenir. 

Well... I'm off to be with family 

and to celebrate

Olivia.

I am not sure how soon I will post...

though I am taking the laptop with me.

We'll see.

Take care... be happy!
