After I published my Pink Saturday post this week, I realized I needed to correct a couple of misspelled words and share the next location where little Stella will be visiting. Unfortunately, the edit portion of my post "froze" and I couldn't change a thing! This is the third time in recent posts that TypePad has done this to me!
Enough Grinching about my Type Pad troubles---I really have tried to give up "negativity" for Lent, but it's HARD. Oh, well, if it was easy, it wouldn't be something to "give up"! The really important thing I need to address is: "WHERE IS STELLA?"
Stella will be "mixing" with such a wonderful hostess! Oh, yes, her next stop is guaranteed to be one "party" after another. Her new hostess goes to so many exciting places and has such a great group of friends and such a sweet family. Stella will be wowed from the moment she hops out of her travel envelope !
So without further adieu----Stella will be- -- - - -
visiting Donna of PARTY WISHES!!!! If you keep up with Donna's blog, you KNOW that this will be a great time for Stella! We're all looking forward to seeing the fun Donna has with her little guest!!
And speaking of "Little Guest"----this gal was ours over the weekend. We had big plans to take her to the zoo, BUT the weather turned really cold and snowy. So our grand girl busied herself with playing with puzzles and - - - - -
wagons.
Then, she let her Nana practice making - - - - -
little cute pony tails on the sides of her wiggling, squirming almost three-year old head.
Upon reviewing this photo, Nana realized she has lost her touch. It's hard to believe she used to be able to French Braid her own little girl's hair and actually have it look pretty good- - - -but that was a long time ago
After the Grand Girl removed the teensy bands from her hair destroying the hard work Nana had put into the hair do, she decided it was time to let her watch the Grandpa "play" in the snow.
The Grandpa has a snow blower attachment that goes on his John Deere riding lawn mower. The Grandpa can hardly wait for snowy weather---he LOVES to blow that snow off his drive and the drives of many neighbors.
The Grand Girl loved to watch her Grandpa go up and down the driveway until every little bit of snow had been removed!!!
Even, Izzie the Grand Dog, enjoyed seeing the Grandpa remove snow with his John Deere lawn mower turned snow blower!
You see the drive across the street? Yep, that was another one he cleared!
Besides watching her Grandpa clear the driveways, the Grand Girl enjoyed eating a little snow! Please note, Nana kept her away from any snow that was a bit off white!
She didn't care if we didn't make it to the zoo this time. She loved the snow and spending time outside on a beautiful winter day.
Even THE STONE RABBIT tried to make the best of the cold and the snow.
He invited some of his friends over for a little snowy cookout, but first he had to make a path to the grill!

Hi Dana!
What a sweetheart your grandbaby is! Love the red hair. I'm partial to red heads...(hubby was a red head when I met him. Now he's just about all gray).
Well spring is nearly here and soon all the beautiful flowers will start to bloom. Maybe you and the Stone Rabbit can take some wonderful photos of the flora and fauna.
I'm going to miss Stella being with you. Oh how I wish she could visit me here in San Antonio! I know you will miss her greatly but what fun you had with her!
Hugs,
Deanna :D

Dana - I see you folks got "dumped on" also this week! I was hoping we would dodge another bullet but it was not to be...Your Baby Grand is adorable (I also am partial to redheads LOL!) and it looks like Grampa was having a good time too! Love your posts!

It's always such fun to see what Stella is up to! Love the pyrex bowls she's sitting in. I've colleced a few pieces, pink and aqua of course, but no bowls yet. What a little darling your grand girl is. My grand girls (8 and 4) do their own hair better than their Gran does! Afterall I only had sons. What do I know about doing hair!? ♥

Hello Dana, I have missed this adorable post. I was in Atlanta all day on Monday visiting my sister. On Tuesday at 8:15 am, I was at therapy. After that I came home and collapsed. My knee today is hurting from the therapy. Tomorrow therapy again. I was glad to hear that your legs are feeling better. Smile.
I am also glad to hear Stella will have a new happy home. It will be fun to watch her new adventures.
Your grand girl has the most beautiful red hair. One of our daughters is a redhead too. How fun to play with her pretty little red haired head. I wasn't too impressed with the outcome. smiling BIG.
The snow was deep and looked so pretty. We really do not ever get deep snow. Maybe it is just as well. We are not a bit equipped to handle it. Kids and dogs love snow, maybe not all dogs. I am going to forward an e-mail to you that will astound you. Look for it.
Your dh is sweet to clear the neighbors drive too. He is probably enjoying every minute.
Hugs to you. Keep warm.
Jeanne

Hi Dana
Thanks for being a wonderful Stella host. I look forward to her next adventure and hope the stone rabbit doesn't miss her too much!
I enjoyed seeing your lovely granddaughter, The Stone rabbit and Izzie enjoying your recent snow.
Best Wishes
Lindsay

Your granddaughter is adorable, Dana! Looks like she had loads of fun visiting. Can't wait to see Stella's next adventure. Have a lovely weekend! xo xo

I was hoping Stella was coming to visit me. ;-(
Grandgirl is the cutest, but grandmother will have to brush up on her ponytail skills.
TSR is such a great host, and grandfather is a good worker.

Dana,
I am so sorry that I did not let you know that Stella arrived safely. She was quite tired from her trip so I had a scone and some hot tea waiting for her when she arrived.
We have been quite busy since she arrived. I will be posting pictures this weekend of our adventures!
Thanks again for such a lovely houseguest. :)

You lucky woman, you, having your grand-girl for a visit!
And yes, grumbling is hard to quit when it comes to blog/internet glitches. Just now my keyboard is being tempermental!
