grag a comin'

this lady will be 

boarding a plane in minutes.

the girls and i are giddy with anticipation.

not sure who this little lady is?

look here

this is how 

we get ready for her visit

 will be her first time 

to our new north carolina digs

 can't wait to show her 

a proper southern welcome.

this is what we have planned:

1.  explore the culinary delights 

that only fayetteville has to offer

2.  fully utilize our 

front  porch

and those awesome black rockers

3.  take a field trip to raleigh

for a pre-christmas shopping

extravaganza

4. get in our jams at 7:30

only to climb in bed and do hair train 

with the girls.

5.  laugh...

(we do a lot of that 

when grag is around)

6.  play scrabble

7.  enjoy a glass of merlot 

while we make her famous mashed potatoes

that only she has perfected.

8.  count our blessings that we have each other

and live close enough for regular visits.

will let you know exactly 

what we end up doing.

photos and deets comin'

tell  me how you enjoy 

your most special loved ones 

when you get them all to yourself.
