Well, look who is back in town! The Old Buzzard has swooped back in the Greater Memphis Area! Buzz came for a fun Labor Day visit and we really loved having her with us. She just wants to have fun and make everyone happy! I respect that in a mother/mother-in-law/grandmother.
Now that we are pros at the whole Memphis thing, we were able to take her all around the places we have been exploring since she helped us move out here. We ate some good food, explored Shelby Farms, showed her the hospital where baby girl will be born, and took her downtown for some sightseeing. We took her to our favorite sunset spot down by the University of Memphis Law School.
We also took her down to Beale Street to see the night life. We were just spectators from the car though. It was packed down there.
One of the awesome things that Buzz did for us while she was here was paint our baby dresser. Here is a picture of Cory standing in front of it from a few weeks ago. It was my grandpa's dresser from his first marriage, and my parents generously donated it to our little family. Cory decided she wanted it painted white, and Buzz said, "Give me a brush and get out of my way!"
Over the weekend she sanded the wood and painted several coats. It looks awesome! It gave it some new life, and we are excited to keep decorating the nursery. Any time the baby cries I am going to shout at her, "YOUR GRANDMA PAINTED THIS DRESSER FOR YOU SO YOU BETTER CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE!"
It was great to have Buzz visit us, and are excited for her next visit when the baby is here!
hahaha grandma threats are the most effective, for sure....
