So the daughter & SIL needed some concentrated work time for the house they are trying to sell before the Alaska move. Result: a weekend with the little one. It was hot. She was constantly on the go. Whew!

What is there for a little girl to do at GrannyJ's? Since she didn't really care for all of those monsters I drew for her (example below) and I didn't have any coloring books, I decided to consult The Google -- who else. Site recommended: coloring.com. A winner.

Of course, one can always put a kid to work if it looks like fun. Whitewashing fences, for example. Not having any fences, we made do with watering my pot garden. Oops, I mean my plants in pots. Naturally, she decided that she, too, needed to be hosed down. From there, it was a short step to fun with a spray bottle on the back porch!

Next door to feed the fish; thank you, good neighbors! We read poems, watched Shirley Temple play The Little Princess at least twice (granddaughter learned an old music hall ditty from that movie) and generally had a busy time of it. I was worn out by the time her parents arrived for retrieval; they, by the way, had a wonderful dinner for two the previous night! Good for them, good for me.

Note: Updating my recent tagging of 8 people to post 8 fascinating facts about themselves: #3 has complied. Go visit Desert Cat, who actually copped out by asking his Daisy Cat to make up the list! Friend k has politely declined, so that leaves four folk -- you know who you are, get with it, guys!
