Surprise from hubby!

Yesterday my hubby stopped at a yardsale and picked me up a little antique lunch pail for $3.00.

I love it when he thinks of me. I love the lunch pail, I do have another one just like it, that I would never part with,

that was my dad's when he went to school, it touched my heart when my dad gave it to me, he knew

that I loved it and it was so special to him. This is a photo of the one Ronnie gave me

I also wanted to share a picture of Riley my granddaughter, she just recently had to get glasses and

she loves pink, so of course she chose pink frames, isn't she adorable!!
And she is growing up sooo fast. She loves her glasses and couldn't wait to show everyone at school.

I rem. getting glasses in the sixth grade and didn't want to go to school for nothing, but mine were ugly.

So many pretty glasses to choose from now.

    Love the pail story and yes, she is so cute in those frames.

    I really like the picture of the Underground Spring. Is it still running?

    Good morning Lecia. That sure was nice of your hubby to think of you. Love the lunch bucket. My mom used to tell me the how they would carry their lunch in a tin bucket to the old one room school house. Their lunch was brown beans and corn bread. So every time I see a lunch bucket I think of that story. Thanks for the memory.

    Hi Lecia, just found your site! I love the antique lunch pail, great find, very sweet of your husband. Your grandaughter looks great in her new glasses. My son who is 10 just got glasses for the first time this past week, he was a little nervous about going to school in them - all turned out well. And just like you, I had to have glasses in 5th grade and they weren't to pretty either..lol
    Stop by and visit sometime, I'm fairly new :)

    Oh, I just adore the pictures of your house - especially the wraparound porch and the spring.

    I found one at a sale but it is a plain green, love this old metal lunch pail! How neat that you have your dad's old one also, now that is really cool! The family pieces are my favorites of all.

    Riley is a pretty girl, love her glasses and her long blond hair. Hey! I got glasses in the 6th grade also and I remember feeling the same way you did, lol! Isn't that funny?

    Oh, I just remembered that I started an email to you yesterday and then got distracted. Oops, sorry!! I'll get back over there and get it sent to you, hehe.

    Happy Sunday, sweet friend~

    Riley is adorable and I too remember getting glasses in 4th grade...HOW DEGRADING! LOL

    What a sweet husband buying the lunch pail...I love the design on it and the shape. So happy for you that you have your daddy's pail- such memories.
