Visit Down South

I took the girls to my hometown to visit my parents last week.  We had a fantastic time!  I got to do everything I wanted to do.  The girls got to do everything they wanted to do except play with the little neighbor girls next door to my parents.
Friday morning, we went to Ms. Cora's garden and let the girls pick potatoes.  They loved it!  I loved watching!  We went straight home and my mother cooked them for our lunch.  FRESH FOOD!  They were delicious! 

My Daddy always likes to take the girls to a local Vet's office and feed the deer.  The girls LOVE this!!!!  The deer are so cute.  They have a dispenser that gives out deer corn for a quarter.  The girls love that the deer eat right out of their hands.

My mother and I hit five local flea markets.  I love a good flea market!  I got a few items that I love.  I am so proud of my antique hen on a nest soup tureen.  I am terrified of birds, but I love bird decor!!  I plan to paint the table a white or maybe that Oyster Bay (Sherwin Williams) paint that I used on the bathroom table a few weeks ago.  I can't decide.

I got to drink Icees while I was there!!!  My favorite drink-Coke Icee!  You just can't beat it!  They are very hard to find around here!  I love a gas station that has a big polar bear/blue and red sign out front.  I need a bumper sticker that says, "I brake for Icees."

I love being with my parents.  It was a nice break from the routine.  Just what we needed!

Your hen reminds me of my Granny. She used to collect chickens and roosters. How fun that you're able to get to your parents' within a few hours. We move to Little Rock this summer but will still be 14+ hours away from both sets....it's closer than Ukraine, though, right?! :)

Happy Mother's Day!!! We feed the deer in our backyard every day.

My dad has planted potatoes in the past in our garden.

Coke Icees are the BEST! My hometown has them all over too- we had lots of drive thru convenience stores and I miss them so much. Love to drive thru and get an Icee when I am there.
