I have and idea!

Its such a nice night, Rain is falling and I am snuggled into my big green chair with a very furry friend in my lap.
Michael got called into work tonight ( on his day off) and so Kaitlynn and I are trying to enjoy the evening.
The other day on my way out to pick her up we ran across a yard sale and happen to find a really great deal on a doll house with all the fixings. She has played with it non stop.
It takes me back to when I was about eight and my sister Bethany and I got a doll house for Christmas. It was one of the best gifts I had ever got. I remember her and I trying to decided how to share it. Some times we would play to gather and some times I would make my little brother Titus play with me. The poor little guy used to hate it when i would make him play house or dress up with me. Don't get me wrong I loved to play cowboys and Indians just as much as the next kid.
I remember rubbing my face sooo raw with a tooth brush. We were pretending like we were on a cattle drive and we used towels for our bed rolls and a tooth brush was our razor.
I am please to see that Kaitlynn has some imagination like her old mom.
She told me the other day that she had an "IDEA"
I asked her "What is your idea bug?"
"Grandma's house" she smiled back at me! The rest of the conversation went on like this.
"Grandma Black, Grandma Gabbard or Grandma Thorp?"
"Um my motorcycle, and Sadie"
"Nana's house?"
"Yes, and Pop Pop and Emily"
"Okay Katie we will go see Nana and Pop Pop."
" And Papaw and Nana and Kitty?"
"Yes and Nana Gabbard and Papaw"
"And Grandma Black and the Horsey?"
"Yes Katie."
She has something special at all of her grandparents houses! And she never forgets!
Every time we go to or drive by the Chinese Restaurant she says,
"Nana and Pa Paw and the fish."
It amazes me at how much she learns and how fast she picks up on things.
Well supper dishes await and the bathtub calls! May your evening be blessed and your sleep good rest!

I was thinking about that doll house the other day and wondered if you remembered it. I have been trying to get one for Ashelyn. Do you remember wanting one so bad and when we finaly got it we couldn't believe we did? Wow, it really makes me miss you alot.
