Life in the Pink House

Well, I had a busy week-end. Went to my daughters house for my granddaughters birthday celebration. Had fun visiting with them, and going to a Japanese Restaurant. She turned 17 last week. Ah, they grow up much too fast!! My daughter made a lovely Pineapple Upside Down cake, at her request as her birthday cake. It was quite yummy!! My son and his gal were there as well. On Sunday we had a surprise rain, and that was nice. After having quite a rain storm just a week ago. I am hopeful that means we are in the rainy season and perhaps the drought is over!!! I am not a rain person, but we sure need it!! My yard looks much better since it did rain. Even the tomatoes, which I thought had come to an end, have new blossoms!! Had the son over for dinner tonight, as usual on Tuesday. No granddaughter though, she is away at Science camp. Good visit non the less. A funny thing happened today, at the senior center, an artist(who I had talked to the previous week) came and he had two paintings to show us. He had told me a couple of weeks ago that he wanted to do a painting and hang in at the center. I had told him that would be very nice, and I thought that the center would appreciate. Well, after showing us the paintings, I commented on one of them, and jokingly stated that he could give it to me, that I loved it. He paused a moment, then said, it is yours!!!!! What a surprise thing to happen, I was very happy to say the least to be chosen. He signed and dated it, and I took it to be framed. I think it is going to be quite lovely on my wall.:-) The were quite impressed at the frame shop. Oh, another note, a estate sale is coming up on Friday, yea, I am looking forward to it, as there were none in September. Perhaps I will find yet another treasure or two, then there is a Christmas Open House at a local Antique/collectible store here. Oh, why do they all come at once!!! I love this time of the year with all the holiday boutiques, etc. Don't you?!! Antique Rose
