Eccentric Lady

When I get older I want to be the eccentric lady that lives down the street.

I want my house to be the the colorful one that always has kids and teenager running in and out of it. Not only my kids but my kids friends too and the neighbor kids that just like hanging there because there is something to do. I want there to be a plethora of craft supplies, games and books. Snacks and baked goods should be abounding on the kitchen counter. There will be rooms in my house that will never seem to be clean. My backyard will have various contraptions and forts that will make it necessary for people to sign a waver before they can go in my backyard.

I am going to wear colorful and some times ridiculous clothing that may not be very functional for certain mom doing responsibilities. Like fancy clothes to a soccer game just for kicks. I am going to have delivered a baked good to every sister on the ward roster if I have lived in the ward for more than a year.

Its going to be great.

Well Grannis (Anne's mother) certainly will have provided you good genes for the eccentric lady part - and the way I understand it Barrie always hoped that Samford would be the kind of place where there were kids from all over coming and going - so I guess it runs in the family - and I definitely have rooms that never seem to get clean - so you can aways learn that part from me - it's not hard(!) . I'm sure you'll be great at all your plans.
