Aunt Nat Is Busy In The Photo Studio

Yesterday while Grandma Lu was telling her story to the children, Aunt Nat came in. She listened to the story, had a cupcake and a cup of coffee. When the story was over, Aunt Nat asked if anyone wanted their pictures taken for Valentines gifts. Well, that was something that no one had thought of. Charlie had ordered candy, flowers, cards and stuffed animals. However, no one even thought of photos. Remember how important photos are to Grandma Lu? Well, she was on board immediately. She knew that Grandma Pat had a beautiful granddaughter that just might like to have her picture taken as a gift for her parents and grandparents. She called her immediately, while Grandma B was calling folks that she thought might be interested. It really had to be done today because they

Harleigh

were going to open up the Holiday Shop the next day so that folks could shop. That meant that the Daycare had to be open too. Oh my, lots of things to do. Valentines Day was fast approaching. I don't even know if Grandma Lu has time to tell a Valentines Day story. We will see, won't we?
Grandma Lu came back into the room and said that Harleigh and her Grandma Pat would be here soon. That said, Aunt Nat went to get the studio ready.
Soon people started coming into Marleewood to get their portraits taken and of course, to visit with their friends.
This is the first photo that Aunt Nat took. Isn't she a beautiful little girl?

Mrs. Joann
Charlie and Zeta

Some folks wanted formal pictures taken, but a lot of parents wanted a picture they could look at and remember the day. The picture of five (5) people is a four (4) generation picture of Marlee's Papa; James A. Weaver, Marlee's daddy whom is holding Marlee Ada Weaver is Austin J. Weaver and Marlee's great grandmother; Ada Weaver Ashlock is holding Whitlee Jo. This picture is a treasure for Marlee's whole family.

A lot of people love to have their pictures taken with their pets. Mrs. Joann arrived with her two (2) dogs that she loves very much. Aunt Nat did a great job, didn't she?

Aunt Nat also put new life into some older photos for people. She made Sawyer's grandma very happy with a beautiful picture of Sawyer's mama when she was a baby. It looks good as new, doesn't it? Her name is Angela. The last picture that was taken today was of Emma. She was all dressed up in her cheerleading outfit. Isn't she cute? This picture is
another treasure for her family.
 Aunt Nat was very busy for the first day. There were folks that had called in that couldn't make it to Marleewood until tomorrow. Aunt Nat was very nice and said, "That's fine with me. I will be here early in the morning."
 So we will get to see more Valentines Day photo gifts and probably some activities in the Community Room tomorrow. I hope everything can get done in time!
Oh look, there is a Valentine Teddy Bear in a bucket. Now that is a fun Valentine Day gift, isn't it? I wonder who that is for. I guess we will have to wait a few days, won't we?
I have a feeling that Grandma Lu will tell us a Valentines Day story one of these days.
See you soon!
