New granddaughter has arrived!!!
I don't know if any of you remember, but I added a post on here almost 9 months ago where I shared the news that my daughter was expecting a baby. She told me IMMEDIATELY after she found out (I was the only one they told) - and I wasn't allowed to tell anyone (not even my three sisters) - so, I decided to share the news with all of you.
Well, she has arrived. She is BEAUTIFUL - but I may be just a bit biased!
Palmer:
I actually took this photo with my phone while changing her diaper - that was the only way I could get a photo with her eyes open (she is three days old in the photo)! Her middle name is Virginia - that was my mom's name (who was in her early 70s when she passed just a few years ago - she had no health issues (except minor cataract surgery a couple years prior to losing her) - so, it was very unexpected.
My daughter's middle name is Angeline - which was my nana's name. I was very close with my nana - and my daughter was very close with my mom/her nana - so, she wanted to continue the "tradition" of using the first name as the baby's middle name. My mom had ten wonderful grandchildren, but my daughter always held an extra special place in her heart.
I was ridiculously attached to my mom while growing up - and we still talked/texted every day. I still miss her terribly - and January has been a difficult month ever since we lost her. Now I have something to make me smile in January!
Funny story - my grandson (Palmer's big brother - who just turned three) is very attached to me (my daughter and SIL constantly say that he is "OBSESSED" with me ❤️). Parker was at my house on Wednesday, and he asked me who was going to be Palmer's nana - when I told him that I'm her nana also, he looked at me (with this very serious expression on his face), and said, "That doesn't seem like a very good idea, nana." 😂
Anyway - just wanted to share some exciting news!

Comments (23)Here's a ventilation trick for an OLD IT person. When you want to stack components and the idiot manufacturers put their ventilation holes on the tops or bottoms? Or you have very little space? Take a dry sponge and cut it into sections. (It's easier to cut when wet, though.) Use the pieces of sponge as "footers" for stacking your pieces. The nice thing is that sponge also absorbs black felt marker... Twist ties or they make a black plastic tubing thing that controls cords, too. Catalogs such as Harriet Carter sell them for very little, so don't pay much. But of course, I'd wait until you get the correct piece! ROTFL! That's something I'd do. But I'll bet they're both beautiful. :) Christine...See MoreNew bed has arrived!!
Comments (22)I have one piece of advice about living in a rental that's for sale - I did this once. My landlord at the time was a little flaky, but he told us that he would never send realtors/potential buyers over without giving us advance notice. Lo and behold, people started showing up unannounced to see the place. That gets really annoying really fast. Long story short, I finally figured out that if I locked the screen door from the inside, and went out through the garage, I had control over when people could get in. The landlord called me about it ONCE, and I kindly reminded him of the advance warning I was promised, and that I would be glad to unlock it/leave it unlocked when I knew someone was coming. So, my advice is to try to maintain some control over, or at least knowledge of, when people are coming and going. It is your home, and I think it's easy for the selling landlord to lose sight of that and just try to parade as many people through as possible. If that happens though, you'll feel constantly invaded, not much like you're in your home, and it will likely drive you nuts! Just my two cents, but hope it's helpful!...See MoreIt has arrived..New Zealand Lemonade
Comments (83)Laura, you enabler you! ! :D The Giant Key Lime was one citrus I have seriously considered ordering. I have two Mexican Key Limes, a Kaffir, and a Bearss Lime currently, after I receive my next order from Harris, hopefully later this week, I still want to place an order later this fall with Four Winds for Santa Teresa Lemon and Bergamot Sour Orange etc.. My collection is increasing and I want to make sure I get the ones I have been coveting and that I have room for all of them come winter. After that, if they make it through the winter alright, and my hubby and I finish building another upcycled GH, I will possibly add a few more... Hobby, thank you for the concern about the soil settling and the roots showing. :) I actually filled the pots up just a bit under the rim so I would still have room to water without overflow.The pot on the right had more roots showing than I would like, so I did cover them up a bit more this morning after I watered. I don't mind having a few roots showing though. From what I researched and read, the Bearss Lemon cultivator was selected in a Grove in FL. The parent tree was planted in 1892, supposedly. Description: Is a fast growing tree, very productive, very fragrant blooms and bears an abundance of very juicy acidic fruit July through December. Tree is vigorous, thorny, and sensitive to cold. Bearss out produces both Eureka and Lisbon. The flavor is outstanding. Has up to six seeds per fruit. A true lemon. This lemon is grown in Brazil, much appreciated for its fragrance, . Most of the crop is eaten fresh, some is used for rind oil. I read a lot of positive reviews on the Bearss and heard the fruit has outstanding flavor and slightly larger than Eureka. Win Win for me!! Hobby, the Baboon Lemon would be a good one to add to your list also.. the leaves smell divine!! :)...See MoreRelated Professionals
