Mamaw is missing


"Good morning. This is Edgar. I am a little worried about Mamaw. She is always at her computer writing her blog when I get up. But I don't see her anywhere. Hmm. I have an idea."


"I'll write her blog today. She will be so happy that I am helping out and staying out of trouble."


"Well, I grabbed her camera and started hunting around the house to find something to blog about. What's this? A package? A present? Is it for me????"


"I climbed in to check and pulled all the paper out and I couldn't find anything. She must have ordered me a Christmas gift and is hiding it till she can wrap it. Let's keep exploring." 


"Hmm. In the kitchen there looks like something on top of the silverware box. I need to climb up and see what it is. She won't care." 


"Shiny. White interior. Looks pretty neat. Let's check it out."



"Yes! She bought me my very own bathtub! Bring on the bubbles!"


"Wait a minute. It can't be a bathtub because I don't see any plumbing. It's got a pretty look outside." 


"Oh my gosh it is a vintage piece of Pyrex in her Colonial Mist pattern. She has been looking everywhere for the set of Cinderella bowls. I overheard her on the phone telling her sister that a lady on Facebook traded her a spring daisy bowl for this Cinderella bowl. Piece one of the four piece set has arrived. I bet she is out looking at thrift stores for some of the other three pieces. This bowl is gorgeous. I know she must be so excited."


"I hope she doesn't find out I was going to use it as a bathtub."

"EDGAR!!! Get off my computer. What are you doing?" Oh, I see. You were trying to help with my blog. Well, I do appreciate it but keep your stinky little feet out of my new bowl in the future. If you had not been so impatient you would know why I didn't write my blog last night. I went to Alexis's Christmas program. On the way, I drove by the King's to see their light display. Here is just a small shot. I'll show some of the other pictures later."


There's Alexis heading to the bleachers at her program. 


There is her grade singing one of their songs. 


She had on the prettiest dress and looked so adorable I just had to get a picture. I may be prejudiced, but she was the cutest girl there. 


I'm sorry that Edgar was running rampant, but I am glad he shared my new Pyrex bowl. I am so excited. I had a set of the Cinderella bowls in this pattern years ago and we sold them at a yard sale way back before collecting Pyrex was popular and I've regretted it ever since. I am trying to accumulate the whole set and was very pleased that my first bowl was a trade so it didn't cost me anything. I love the Pyrex 4 Trade group on Facebook.
