It was a nice weekend here with some unusual activities going on!
Here's a few photos of what we did.
First I have to show you this cute little pillow that came in the mail Friday. It came from my friend Janice who blogs at Prims By The Water. Janice shares lots of primitive decorating things and beautiful counted cross stitch projects. She has a store where she sells items, many of which she makes, like this flag. I was thrilled to get this and am proud to display it! Things like this are extra special because every time I see it, I will think of Janice.
Shortly after I got home Friday, Laura, Aaron and girls came over for supper. The girls were spending the night, and Laura and Aaron were helping Bob with a big dig!
At some point, Laura changed placed with Bob and starting digging too.
They agreed to pose for a picture on the bench.
When we were done, we found the girls playing a game on the porch.
Laura and Aaron went home to shower after all that hot work. We were so appreciative of all their help!
We took Alaina and Ruby out for ice cream and had a fun night and more fun on Saturday.

This is a wonderful photo of the girls on the bench! Good luck on the hole, I hope you show us the finished project!! I am very curious.
P.S. The little pillow is adorable!!!
It's nice that you had some help with your big digging project and you got to spend time with your grandchildren! You will have to post pictures of your new window. A lot of older houses around here are doing the same thing. I hope your week is going well! See you again soon.
That is pretty deep you have dug there
That is a BIG hole!! Wow. Basement bedrooms are safer with an exit option so it's a good thing. Makes the entire basement safer too. Can't wait to see how it all turns out!! The girls are beautiful young ladies. I'm glad the kids came to help Bob get it done. Have a blessed day, Mari... and no rain!!
That, my friend, was a LOT of digging! Loved the fact that your daughter and son-in-law came to help with it.
Your grandgirlies are growing up so fast. Such lovely young ladies.
P.S. Love how the girls were willing to pose for a picture. :)
The photo of the girls on the bench is so cute. They are adorable. Maybe print that one and frame it!? It's worth having around.
I've wondered what those windows were called. I learned something new.
When I was younger I could dig and work like that. I do miss being able to actually do almost anything that needed doing. *sigh*
Hope y'all have a lovely day and the window installation goes well! 💙
It’s been a hard work! Hope you’ll have no rain until the workers come.live to see a picture of the girls. Here grandma is very busy and having a little rest! A very small one ! 😂
That pillow is precious!! So sweet. And wowzers - that is as big project! Weather looks good here so hope it is for you too neighbor. :) So the project can be completed without complications.
Most homes in California not have basements due to earthquakes so I had to look up what kind of window that was. Interesting. I remember all my relatives back east had basements. They would be nice to have - extra storage and room. But not so good when the “big one” hits!
My goodness that's a huge hole.It is not an easy job. My husband has had to dig many holes around here over the years and I'm always in awe of how difficult it is. Have you ever seen the comedian Nate Bargatze do his bit about digging a hole for a pond for his mom? It's hysterical, very true and every time someone mentions they need to dig a hole this comes to mind..funny stuff.
Lucky you for wining that sweet pillow.
That is quite a job to dig that out but it is a good idea.

the remnants of hurricane Beryl is headed our way and we are expected to receive 2-3 inches of rain. UGH I hope you get your window it before it rains too. Thank you for mentioning my blog, and like I said before it looked good next to your red star! Janice
Lots of hard work but I'm sure it will be worth it.
The pillow is lovely.
That's a big hole they are digging! It will be interesting to see the whole project when it is done! How nice to have such good helpers! And what fun to have the girls there enjoying time outdoors and playing games and spending the night with you! what a joy that must be for all of you! Happy Summer days!
Oh, and yes, I love that little pillow too! So very clever!! Some people are just so talented!
What a big project!! I'm so eager to see the window. I think that's what Josh and jill did to Grandpa Stauffer's basement. I noticed when I was down there the other Sunday that there was a much bigger window, which made it seem so much more daylight down there. I might have taken a picture of it.
Oh my that primitive pillow is everything. I must check out Janice's blog! And blow me down, your Laura is nothing if not intrepid! What a woman. I am interested to see how that looks when it's all done and YES LORD please keep the rain away! I've saved that precious picture of Ruby and Alaina to my file xoxo
