Saying Good-Bye

The day came all too soon!  My Momma got her suitcases down and had to pack her bags to leave.  Evie Kaye loved helping her with the suitcases!

Her flight didn't leave until about 7 pm so we took our time getting ready, did some shopping, picked Robert up from work and headed up to Otterton Mill to have lunch.  Just had to take a picture of this road.   This was the two lane road that it took us on to get to the mill.  It looked appeared and actually was only room for one car.  If you meet another car you either find somewhere to pull off or back up!

A statue of Sir Walter Raleigh for all you North Carolina folks!

And the weather could not have been more gorgeous at the mill.  

That gorgeous dress was made by my Momma out of a shirt I bought at the thrift store!  Amazing!

She loved these rocks turned into owls.

G.G. with her two boys

Looking at the pretty river running by.  

They actually had the water mill open so that you could go in and see it working from the inside.  So Cool!

And the waterwheel turned this large crank (or whatever it's called!) to grind the wheat.  So neat to be able to see this and show the kids the process.

The kids love going down to the river and throwing stones in when we go and today was no exception.  Even Dada skipped a few stones!

And then off to the airport to drop Momma off.

Except that we were like an hour early!

So what do you do?

Lie on the dashboard.

Put on lipgloss.

And give really great smoochies!

  They loved riding on the luggage cart!

I told Ethan Jay he had to wrap his arms around the girls and hold them tight so they wouldn't fall off, and he did a great job!

G.G. with her British Grands!

Trying to keep it together here folks!

I loved every minute of her visit and felt like part of my heart flew off on the plane with her!  Until next year  we will have to Skype!

And I thought you would like to see one of their mail boxes.  This is a bright new shiny one!
