Did you ever watch Bill Cosby's
Picture Pages? I am not sure about this, but I think the short segments came on N!ckelodeon...we didn't watch much TV, when I was a kid.
But - my mom kept my dad's books, and in the summertime, when we were out of school, mom would load the kids in the car, and we would go hang out at dad's shop. Some of my absolute fondest memories are in the summertime at dad's shop - but I guess that's another post for another time... And as usual, I digress. Anyway, back on track: In dad's shop, we had a little TV with a cable box on it - and
there is where I watched bits & pieces of TV...including
Picture Pages. I loved that little segment of TV!
And while this post is not about an animated magic marker, drawing pictures....I
am going to post some pictures. So, knowing the content of my post, the theme song to
Picture Pages kept running through my head. Hence, the title.
But again, I digress...on to the meat of my post:
We had a nice weekend...Nathan had Drill, and I stayed home to clean house, write thank you notes, and finish up with the furniture in Little I's room. Y'all already know most of this, from my last post.
And I know, I know! You really don't want to go back over our weekend. No, you are dying to see pictures of Little I's room! So I'll post what I've got so far. I still have some illustrations to put in frames - and I'd like your opinions...should I put another 2 pictures on the right end of the line of pictures on the wall? Just curious what y'all think. A friend at work has found a great, green chenille rug to go on the floor - so once we get that - and finish hanging pictures, I think Little I's room will be complete - with the exception of having him in it! Now - I'll shut the trap and post the pictures!
First, the shelves that Nathan built and I painted:

And now a picture of the shelves that we bought discounted...and I painted:

And now, drumroll please...........Little I's room:

And it is with great pleasure that I announce that we got our latest dossier updates apostilled and FedExed today. We left Tuscaloosa bright eyed and bushy tailed, this morning, headed to Montgomery. We arrived back in town around 2:00 -- and $200 poorer. But it is done, and for that - I am glad!

And for the last picture tonight...a piece of trivia. Does anyone want to venture a guess as to what this next picture actually is? (If I have told you, or if you are from around these parts & actually know this building, for sure, then play fair no guessing! Leave me a nice comment instead!)

I's room looks great.
Love, NANA
I think it was Captain Kangaroo who hosted Bill Cosby.
Oh--and YOUR pix are fab!
As far as putting up two more pictures, I would need to see the entire wall. I'm personally big on things being centered...if that makes sense. The room looks really great, so I say use your best judgment on hanging more pictures. Hope that helps!
Love you and miss you! Kristy
My guess is the building is the Sec of State's office?
Just think, if you had watched tv endlessly as so many children & adults tend to do, you might not be the delightful & enchanting writer you are today :o)
And I love your little guys room! You did a great job arranging the furniture- and the white with stained wood looks great the way you have it (I remember you saying something about that bugging you, I think, and needing to come up with a pleasing arrangement). Great job! He's going to love it!!
And I'd guess a... okay I have no clue. Give us a hint. I'm guessing it's not a funeral home because that would be too obvious.
I'm also easily impressed by how impressive the apostilles look.
Congrats!
Congrats on the paperwork! I know that's a relief!
Love,
Andrea
