Well, I declare. It's July already! Did it creep up on you too? Time to flip another page on the calendar and slip into summertime bliss. I'm working on that, because I've been much, much too busy lately. I did finally get around to planting these matching flower boxes over the weekend though, which are now hanging off the front porch and looking oh-so love-a-lee, and reminding me to dial down. "Dialing down", is my new catch phrase this summer. That's the kind of lingo one picks up from watching way too much TV golf.
Please ask before vacuuming?? who does that? LOL! my goodness. Does that child actually want to do it herself?? Send her over here, my kids need to catch some of that. Actually my kids need to find their floors so they can vacuum. [sigh]

Does that book say anything about me?
I think I belong in that group sometimes.
HA :o) Love the title!
The new additions to the Doll House Bakery
are so good. I just want to pick them
up and eat them. Makes me wish I had a doll house.
I hope you have a dialing down summer.

I know. I just cracked up when I saw that vacuuming request and the bit about the windows. She's just going through a privacy phase; claiming one's personal space. Some kids just post a sign on the door that says, "Keep Out". Hers was a bit more subtle and sweet.

Ha ha...we all have those days don't we?! But I assure you I'm all here, most of the time anyway.
As far as the doll house goodies go...they look better than the real thing, and no calories at all.
OK, time to dial down now...thanks for stopping by today!

I loved this post - I notice Ginger is still going by Sarah - how funny.

That sign needs to be framed and I love taking pictures of my grandkids wearing big people shoes. One of my granddaughters does it all the time.
Have a wonderful 4th Vicki.

Watching Golf on TV is a good way of "Dialing Down" :)
Love the little one in the red shoes...*sigh* they grow so fast.
I remember a time when I used to get notes...oh, my!!! you are leading me down memory lane.

I seem quite surprised it was July already too!
Congrats to your daughter. And that door knob hanger is funny! The details are great. I love it.

Well at least she won't wake you up with, "Mom have you seen my baby spiders?"
