Well, hello! I am happy to report that things are somewhat back to routine around here!! Karissa is doing better as each day passes. Her tonsil-free mouth is healing as expected, for which we are grateful. She has even played today--yipee!!
I was able to go to a few yard sales on Saturday. I have decided that there will be yard and garage saling in heaven :)!! It is just so much fun. I found 2 things we needed---a pot to plant a tree in and a hoe--no photo--cuz, that's just boring!!

However, this isn't boring. Look at this cute vintage apron I snagged--50 cents!! I love it!!

I found this cute bench, too. I placed one of my favorite dolls on it. I received this from Lea(she used to have a blog, but closed it--a sad day for many of us). I am so glad I have the doll to remind me of her. Okay, I also found some fabric, books, and hmmmmmm---can't remember what else. I think I spent $6.00!!

I have to show you this watercolor picture. I received this from one of my girls who I took to girl's camp a couple weeks ago. She had me as her secret sister. She painted this for ME!! It is a picture of the Logan, Utah Temple--where my hubby and I were married almost 19 years ago. Isn't it fabulous? She is so talented, and she is only 15. It is priceless to me.

She also made this cute pillow for me. She said it is the first pillow she had ever made. I will treasure it, too. Thanks for stopping by--hope you all are staying cool!! It is VERY summer here with temperatures in the high 90's. We even hit 102 on Saturday---HOT!!! Have a super day, my friends.
Be Nice to People,
Julie

That picture is so cute. who ever painted that is very talented indeed, and to think she did it without you finding out about it. Hope everything is well at the Dixon house.
Hi Julie,
So glad Karissa is on the mend! And I love your finds and your wonderful handmade gifts. They are the best, aren't they? What a talented 15 year old - that painting is amazing!
Stay cool my friend!
hugs, Linda
Julie what great finds! That painting is fabulous! Make sure she signs it.
HOT what is that? It has been mild here in Ohio. We haven't even made it to 90 yet this summer. It has been pleasantly 70s and low 80s, but we haven't had any rain.
Hello dear friend! What a sweet post ~ Oh how I have missed my special blogging friends. It honestly left an ache in my heart and I couldn't stay away. Sure is nice to see your smiling face and know I wasn't forgotten.
Love your your special finds ... especially that apron! Whoo hoo!
Hugs & care,
Lea
