And no, not from a grandparent, not from an aunt or uncle, not from her mom or dad, or any close friend - no, she got it fun Una's nanny at the playground on Monday! hahaa.. It was quite funny. I love these nannies on the playground, not one I know speaks English. We rarely hear English on the playground. (It's not even Spanish, I'm not sure what they all speak!) They bring their 'children' to the park and share their abundant snack pile with most the kids, including bananas that one kid just bite off and offering to the next kid. Thankfully Penny refuses the banana, I think she knows they might have pretzels - or better yet, little chocolate covered pretzels!!! But such is life, I'm glad we got out in the sun, and I'm glad that the kids can play together despite not knowing what the other is saying, heck, I'm not even sure what Penny is saying most of the time.
I changed the blog colors a bit. I'm not sure if it's the overwhelming need I have at the moment to get new glasses, or what. But it was nicer to read things dark on a light color. Maybe because I've been reading books a bit more.
The book for the Forth Friday Fictionistas (new book club), is amazing! Not ever being part of a real book club, I was really excited - and nervous at the same time. I love to read. However, I wasn't sure if I would be able to 'keep up' or even understand the type of reading we might do, it possibly being over my head? These are VERY SMART women... they know literature and can toss names and such about quickly, they are also very careful to include the group, for which i am thankful. I had to laugh when I started reading "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society." And I should have know better.. the lady who started the group and selected the book is very witty, the book is about a book club and it's highly unlikely members. It has been a incredible read thus far, I'm truly enjoying it. Here's the link to the book and a little blurb from one of its authors. If you read it or have read it - let me know!
Other exciting news?? A sewing machine came to me IN THE MAIL last week! I am so totally excited! I can make buttonholes, zigzag, stitch knits to my hearts content - all in my pajamas if I desire. My parents said the deal was too good to pass up at the sewing shop and knew i would use it, and believe me, I will. My 'little machine that can' is great, and i still love it, but with no stitch options, things get hard to finish. The machine was accompanied with little goodies, including homemade cookies decorated as conversation hearts, saying things like: "JD loves Sarah," "Cute Penny," and our favorite, "Skype me!" and please do, skype us! (as long as it's not during Sunday afternoon naps, that is.)
