Getting ready for the garage sale

Aunt B came by this morning with Frannie to drop off a thank you note to Mommie, Avery and Riggs. While they were talking and catching up on the best method for cleaning up Aunt B's le Cruset pot (she did a fine burn job on it on Thursday afternoon!!) of enchilada soup--with a deep, crispy layer--well, what was supposed to be enchilada soup!!




Mommie was telling her about what still needed to be done for Dearie's garage sale, Avery having a doctor's appt. later in the afternoon and Aunt B decided she would just take Riggs for the day so Mommie could f-o-c-u-s!

As soon as the Mays left the driveway, Aunt B posted this image of Riggs taken as they were backing out of the driveway!!



Mommie sent it out to everyone and Uncle Zach sent a note back that said, "A confused little man, but sure is cute." Well, it was UK weekend (last weekend was Tiger weekend!) What folks may not be aware of is that Riggs is, in fact, a diplomat-in-training!!

Mommie and Avery helped Dearie out from time-to-time during the day until it was time to pick Riggs up before taking Avery to the doctor. Aunt B photo-journaled Riggs' visit with them:


Oh yea, I'm a happy boy! New toys, life is good!


I've learned, when Aunt B says "look at the camera," you look at the camera so she can get her shot OR she will stay in front of you, telling you to look at the camera and that can become troublesome if you really wanna play! Keep Aunt B happy and just look at the camera!


I can gnaw on anything that I can get to my mouth!


Oh yea, I will stay very still when pretty little girls wanna kiss me. You know the game, "kiss me, I'm Irish!" Me and kisses are tied up in rich tradition!! And, Frannie is such a sweet little lass!!

Mommie took off with Avery a little after lunch . . . they picked Riggs up, went to see Dr. Bailey and then came home. Both Darlings were thrilled to be back home so they could enjoy their new playroom. Mommie's got the right idea giving the darlings their own space . . . they love it!!
