Tile Table
When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
Wednesday after school my neighbor Camie and I took our kids to the Payson pool for a few hours. It was really fun and the kids had a blast! Camie's two girls have really become attached to my girls and they love doing things together! She has one little boy that Olivia insists on pushing around every chance she gets! I feel so bad that Liv is such a meanie! It's hard not to laugh though because she is so tiny but has so much spunk! Anytime another kid gets close to her she splashs them or kicks at them. An older boy splashed her in the face on accident and she got up with the meanest look on her face and tried to chase him down! What am I going to do?!!!
