Happy Sunday!

 Happy Sunday. Just popping in for a quick visit to show you what is making my heart so happy today. I think I told you that daughter #1 has recently redone her entire downstairs and the new furniture could no longer accommodate two chairs that she had that I just loved so much. I think from the day she bought those chairs I was heard saying "if you ever want to get rid of them....". Lol And, every time I visited, I made sure to reissue that statement. I'm kind of like the "Mikey" of the family-give it to Mikey....!  LOL

And so, I think I always knew that some day those beauties would find their way to me. And this was the time! Of course, only one has made it so far as two wouldn't fit on her car this time as this trip was meant to get granddaughter #4 out of her apartment and relocated to a house that shar and some roommates will be living in now.

Kris, Liv, my brother and sister-in-law, grandson #1 and Liv's dad headed to Gainesville on Friday and they got the lions' share of the needed work done. I stayed home with my grand dog and grand kitten. When they arrived home that night, we ordered pizzas and just sat and visited and enjoyed the antics of the animals.

Saturday saw the three of us joined by daughter #3 heading back to Gainesville. Our job today was to  cleaning the apartment and then get Liv's stuff in the house all incorporated into her room and, of course, with two interior designers in house, you had to know discussions would soon turn to decorating said house. And, of course, the list of to-dos grew by a bit! Lol I think it's looking like we will be having an "all hands on deck work day" as soon as Liv finishes her summer internship. We'll have that place looking like home in no time.

By the time we were done, we were exhausted so we headed home to my house and made ourselves comfy in the family room and no one moved until we were so hungry we had to do something! Lol Daughter #3 was able to join us as her family is scattered right now. Everyone is headed to a family wedding in Arkansas but everyone has different stops along the way while she stays here for work not flying out until Thursday and, of course, that is when I will have some other grand dogs for awhile. Should be a fun five days.

In any case, let me show you what is making me smile so broadly! You can see from here how the room looks with the new chair and still the other old one. But....


....if you just divert your eyes this way you can see the "full" pictures of just how gorgeous this little cutie is. I don't know why I love this chair so much but I know that Kris will be back soon to finish the move-in and I will soon have them both!



I had thought about possibly putting one of the old chairs in my bedroom to replace the one that is there but, when I started moving things around, I realized just how deep and wide these chairs actually are and that wasn't going to work.

After our design meeting at Liv's house, we think there might be a use for the chairs up there as there is plenty of room for another conversation area so, she is going to see what her roommates think and if they like that idea, the chairs will find a new home there. If not, daughter #3 actually would like them for somewhere in her house so, no matter what, they will have a good new home soon.

Until then, the one is sitting here.


It's a bit in the way but the funny thing is that since I just put it here, numerous people have been seen sitting there because it makes for an easy conversation if someone is on that love seat at the end of the dining room-and, that love seat DOES get sat in often!

So that is all I have for today. I just wanted to pop in. I think I'm off to change the guest room sheets so I will be ready for the next visitor and then I am going to call it a day. We ordered Mexican food last night and there is truly a lot leftover so dinner will be easy tonight! I've got a list of things I want to get done before the grand dogs arrive so I'm not sure when I'll be back but, until then, stay safe and stay tuned.
