Glorious 10 Days with Signy, Roslyn and Liesl

After your visit to Wisconsin, you three were with us for almost 10 days!  Wildlife Prairie Park, swimming in the Charterwood pool, Chocolatier, Sugar Grove, Discovery Museum, and of course the dollhouse and the patio garden where Signy was mesmerized by the many flowers.  The first day here the girls wanted to visit the Hort Center!!!  Plans were to go there for homemade ice cream and view the Fairview Pk fireworks.  A magical evening. 
The daylilies were beginning their prime show of their huge blooms.  I picked the blooms each morning and piled them on a plate for us to admire for the one day.  Not many hummers, though, even with the extra feeder which Laurie presented to me for my 75th birthday.  You ate well, slept well, and were so helpful.  And twice we made bacon which I haven't made in years.  And of course, as usual, Oompa loving his sweet treats and excelling at pancake and waffle making.

Roslyn flossed Liesl's teeth and fixed her hair.   Twice Liesl made the beds!  What fun to have Liesl and Roslyn at Zumba Gold -- Lucy adores having them there. Sometimes when I was in the kitchen the girls would individually ask, "Meema, can I help you with anything?"  Wonderful!
