What a lot of good times going on in your life! And little Elsie is adorable … growing fast! It must be hard not to grab her up in your arms for some grandma cuddles… but soon!

you have the busiest life!! I'm so glad that arm is getting better, I know it must be driving you bonkers trying to do all you love to do with it all bound up.
I have never had spanx but I think they are a super idea, I could use them believe me!

that is a beautiful photo of Milo and of course the baby and Emily, and I have copied down that dip recipe it sounds wonderful!

That dip looks delicious!.. thanks for sharing - My grandmother's name was Elsie and she was such a delightful, smart, strong and inspiring person. Great name choice!

I can always count on you for a good recipe! Thanks for this dip recipe, looks delicious! Planning a few trips myself, my Hubby's 50th class reunion, a Wedding ahead and I have some serious shopping to do! I LOVE looking forward to celebrating with loved ones! Sweet picture of Elsie:) What a doll! Have a blessed day dear friend, hope you heal quickly and completely! HUGS!

I'm copying your recipe for this dip right now - it sounds/looks awesome!
That is the sweetest baby pic.

Dear Jane, you are so busy these days - I know it can't be too easy trying to get into Spanx with a cast on your wrist, do you have to ask A to pull, haha! I know he would if asked, he's such a great guy! We're lucky gals with these special men, although I have to admit I'm glad to be this old and able to say to hell with items which might suck any remaining life outta me - Bob, if you read this, you're saved from this exercise!!!

Take it easy - go enjoy the wedding in your new undies!
Love always, Mary

I am so sorry that your arm is hurting so much and the heat doesn't help.

I can totally identify with the sagging! I wore a sundress to a tea party on Friday and needed my strapless bra. I couldn't wait to get home and take that ridiculous thing off.

Have fun at the wedding.

Blogger Dewena said...

Oh how I've laughed reading this post. I hope the undies and bra situation is under control now and that no one will be looking at your pretty shoes for any reason other than that they're very pretty!

That sweet picture of your granddaughter, what a darling! Makes me miss my little 8 month old sweetheart so much.

I hope you have another golden hour with camera in hand!

Despite your hives, you still manage to have a cheery disposition! You are blessed to be that way! LOL! Seriously though, it's a great excuse to take long oatmeal baths, so indulge . :-) Your baby is super cute, I could just pinch those cheeks! Your story on the bra was really funny, I am unfortunate/fortunate to not have that 'problem'! Have fun at the wedding!

July 27, 2015 at 3:17 PM

Blogger Traci said...

You're cracking me up with the bra! I have the opposite problem - boobs aren't big enough to keep the strapless bra up! LOL! Sorry about your hives. That dips sounds great!

July 27, 2015 at 3:41 PM

Blogger Lorrie said...

I laughed out loud reading about the bra advice. Yes. Sagging happens. I'll have to read back to find out what happened with your arm - I hope the X-rays are good and you can get the cast off. Sweet baby kisses are the best!

Blogger Beth said...

Busy isn't a negative, if you are enjoying it! It's only negative if you are running yourself ragged or stressing out with too much on your plate. I can identify with the running myself ragged; I placed my mom in assisted living about 6 wks ago (against her will); she is doing well there and I am running running running as I am working on her home, preparing it for sale. Things have come a long way and we have our own R & R coming up very soon. :)
Enjoy your weddings and baby! :)

Hope the cast comes off! Have a fun visit with your family!

Blondie, Kissing baby could become habit forming.LOL. They are so sweet. Glad your dog is doing so well. Hope you get better too. Say with a big roll of duck tape I can getinto good shape and saty put too. LOL...just kidding..although I do think model use body tapes for such things. Spanx , yes that is good. The clear straps thing works. You are going to be looking awesome, I am sure. Did you try the dress over your cast?? I am wishing you the best. All of you. Be safe xoxo,Susie

Blogger Melanie said...

Aww, Elsie is so cute and sweet - I would love to kiss those chubby cheeks all the time, too! I have tomatoes growing in a pot, but they're more the cherry variety - and I've been picking a bunch every day for the past few days now. Nothing like fresh tomatoes in the summer. I've been dicing them and putting them in a variety of salads. I have a wedding in October so pretty soon I'll have to be dress and bra shopping too. Yuck. I've never worn Spanx...I hope I can find a dress where I won't need it! I definitely need to be professionally fitted for a bra though. That dip looks and sounds awesome. Will be pinning it. Good luck to getting your cast off on Friday and have fun in Louisville!

Blogger Doreen@foxdenrd said...

Lord have mercy you crack me up! As one big boobie woman to another, strapless bras are USELESS!!

I don't know if I ever asked you what kind of camera you have but I'm doing it now :). The pic of Milo is beautiful. What is it about dogs and squirrels? And what I really want to know is what will they do when and if they catch the squirrel? Not much, I'm sure.

Hope you feel better. You've had enough pain to last the next 20 years.

You ARE always so busy but you handle it well. Now I have to dig back through the posts to see what the heck happened to your arm. Turn my back for a minute (or a month) and look what goes on.

Blogger Junkchiccottage said...

Hi Jane,
Glad you are enjoying summer. Milo looks great and your granddaughter is really too cute. It is amazing that just when you think you could not love anyone more than your own children they give you a grandchild and your heart beats 10 times bigger. Enjoy her and enjoy the summer weather we are finally getting.

Hi Jane,
It must hurt you physically to not be able to pick up that baby girl and give her big smushes all over! She just looks yummy with those rosy cheeks.
I love underwear shopping IF I'm in the mood. I have to hit the right attitude and then it seems effortless. Otherwise nothing seems to fit right, there are bulges where there should never be any sign of flesh. Lately it's my derriere that has disappeared south. It's like it melted off me, and now I am like a shallow fry pan for omelettes. I went bathing suit shopping Sat and was in shock. Ah well, it's always something right? small problems to have. Enjoy your lovely sunsets with Milo, man I love that pic. xx Nancy

What a face on that baby! I bet you could just eat her up. Glad you have a few minutes to sit with a glass of wine and a good book in the late afternoon - seems you're always on the go. Wish I had your energy. The bean dip looks delish - I may have to give that a try real soon.

My grandmother on daddy's side was named Elsie. Your granddaughter is the first person I have heard of with that same name. She has got to be a very special little one.....like my "Big Mama". Wishing you a great week.

Elsie is so adorable, Jane! I hope that cast can be removed soon. Sounds like you are not letting it hold you back! Great! Dip sounds wonderful. Have to save the recipe.

Hi,
I love that photo of Milo.
And I enjoy catching up with you.
Had a good chuckle about sagging :-)

Hi Jane :)

Milo is so stinking' cute.

The strapless bra... I haven't been able to wear one since my boobs grew in at 16. And you're right, they're not made for anyone that actually has them LOL

I hope you get your cast off!

I had to laugh about the sagging issue...so true!
Your little baby girl is adorable, Jane. No wonder you feel you need a raffle to hold her! She will grow fast....hold on to her....tight!
Have a great trip for the wedding. Bring yourself a little fan to wave on your pretty face....I fear it will be a hot one.
Love to you.

Oh well, at least you've got plenty of support now! ;) That is something I need to look into, because "sag" isn't even the word for it here! Let's not even go there!
Elsie and Emily look so sweet together. Nothing like that perfect baby skin. I do think she looks like her daddy.:)
Oh, I hope that, when the cast comes off, they'll give you something to support you poor arm! Sorry about the "codeine hives", too. You should have asked the doctor for a replacement drug, sweetie. You may need a little something to take with you on your trip--- you don't know how it'll feel when the cast isn't supporting you.
Hope you have a wonderful time, Jane!

Oh baby Elsie is just so growing, so cute and so sweet looking too!
Oh Jane, I hope your pain is gone very soon.
I have a toothache today and need to get in.
Fair starts tomorrow and I have a bunch of stuff I am taking.
So I have to finish that up.
So excited for you and your trip to Louisville..can't wait to hear all about it.
Would the 3rd week of September work for you and Al?
Love ya friend,

Milo is a cutie in his little squirrel catching mode! You are going to love having home grown tomatoes to enjoy this summer! There's nothing like the taste of fresh tomatoes from your garden. Yum! Elsie definitely has some kissable cheeks! She's an absolute doll! Good luck getting your cast off tomorrow. I know you'll be glad to get rid of it. :)

Hey beautiful girl! It looks like you were able to sit a minute, but I bet it was just a minute! You always have so much going on and to be able to share this recipe with us means a lot sweetie.

Jane,
Just sitting here on a hot Summer afternoon enjoying your blog.
You know, you really "get," how to make the most of the snippets of life. We all could take a leaf out of your book. I wish your arm hadn't been such a hassle and painful, I know it just had to get on your nerves so badly. Your life is full, abundant and beautiful-you make it that way and it's really a cool thing.
