My Days At Jess' House

I spent a week visiting my girls and grandkids, and I usually stay at Jess' half the week, and Nel's the other half of the week.  They go out of their way to make my stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.  I watched Charlotte all week, and she's got to be the sweetest and most easy going child I've cared for.  Francesca and Mia's rooms are so enchanting, and they both have the Disney Princess Castle set up in their rooms.  I would have loved that thing when I was a kid for my Barbie's. 👚 My daughters' houses are cottage style homes that have unique items around their spaces that show their own personal taste.  I love to look around every time I visit.  So, you will see a picture or two pop up of something that I thought was delightful.  The first part of the week, I stayed at Jess' house, and one warm afternoon, we took the kids to the park.  This is a very nice and kept up park with many shaded trees, and I watched Francesca chase the squirrels, and then her and Charlotte merrily ran to the playground.  We went to Barnes and Noble and browsed through the isles, and got a little treat at the coffee shop there.  Me and Francesca had a nice conversation about the beginning of her school year.  I bought her a Taylor Swift coloring book, which she loved.  We headed over to See's and Target to get a few things.  Jess painted her toes a pretty mint green color, and when she was finished, Francesca wanted to have hers painted as well.  Both of the girls lit candles every night for dinner, which I thought was lovely.  Jess made a pasta and cheese dish, which was yummy, and a wonderful breakfast.  Brian made his amazing chicken and teriyaki dish that I love.  It was so festive, as he cut the pineapples in half, scooped the fruit out, and served the rice and chicken over it.  We had Taco Bell one night, as I never get fast food.  I got to watch Francesca's soccer practice, and she's going to be a talented soccer player I can tell.  Me and Jess watched the movie, 'Leave the World behind' with Julia Roberts.  It was so strange 😲.... and good.  Charlotte is into Mickey right now, so we got to spend special time watching Disney shows together.  I found a Christmas Mickey, which she loved.  It was a week full of wonderful moments, and I love my family to bits.

This is in between houses.  We met at BJ's for appetizers before I went to Nel's for the remainder of the week.  The avocado egg rolls were really good.  These are the famous Pizookies, a family favorite.  I'll show you what we did at Nel's house next time!
