This is a picture of a very sad and embarrassed girl. A few minutes before we were supposed to leave to pick up Marsha at the airport, Bailee came downstairs with her comb firmly embedded in her hair. It was wound around it as tight as can be, and nothing I did seemed to help. As the clock ticked and our options evaporated, we finally decided to just cut the comb out of her hair. I used a wire cutter to cut out all the teeth and the end of the comb. I was then able to slide her hair off the comb. There was a pretty ugly tangle, but we were able to deal with it. This disaster averted, Diana walked into the kitchen to find water all over the floor. The fridge was leaking! Apparently we have a problem with our hose, and no repairmen can come until Monday afternoon. There is certainly never a dull moment around our house! At the airport, I drove into the wrong parking area and had to pay a dollar for my mistake. By this time I was looking around for the Keystone Cops! Thankfully, Marsha's plane was a little late - so we were okay.
And HERE'S MARSHA! She arrived on the 2nd of July and was captured by junior paparazzi member Bailee. She'd had a very bumpy landing at her stop in Sun Valley, but was in one piece and happy to be off the plane.
On Friday, Marsha, Diana, and Bailee went to the Stillwater Mansion for a "Titanic Tea." The costumes were courtesy of Tonya Burgess, the owner. They had a four course brunch that included fruits, cookies, mousse, and cucumber sandwiches. They also enjoyed the Stillwater's famous lavender lemonade. They learned all sorts of interesting facts about the Victorian Era and the Titanic during their visit. After ending their journey back to a more refined era, they went to see the Titanic exhibit at our local museum.
Today we are going off to the Farmers' Market to purchase fruits and vegetables. Then we will be jumping into our 4th of July celebration. What fun!
