Marleewood Has A Lost And Found Department

Marlee and Grandma B were tired tired tired today. Whew, it has been busy at Marleewood. The Valentines Day party was huge! So many people came and had such fun. There were games, and lots of laughter. There was even a video that was a Valentines Day song. However, every time you have a party, what do you have when the party is over? A mess that's what you have. This time it was a differrent kind of mess. People were good about cleaning up and stacking chairs before they left, but there were still things to do to get the place back in order again. It's so funny when you think about it. People clean before a party then have to clean after the party is over. Marlee and Grandma B just went home yesterday without doing any cleaning so today they had to work.

They went from room to room and kept picking things up that had been left there from people that had either done some shopping in the Holiday Shop or just for visiting. Marlee kept coming to Grandma B with hats, and mittens. She even found some toys that people had left there. Because Marlee is only two (2) years old she had a tendency to stop and play with some of the things that she found. She found a doll on the kitchen floor that looks suspiciously like hers. Hmm..


There were boots and scarves and a lot of "you name its!" (Big grin) Grandma B told Marlee that there was a hall closet that wasn't being used so she was going to start a Lost and Found Closet for people to look through if they thought they might have left things there. She had some leftover clothespins from the game they played yesterday so she used those to hang up some mittens. Goodness sake's there were even boots left in the Community Room. Wouldn't you think that people would remember to wear them home? Oh well, they would save them for awhile. If no one came to get them they would donate them to people that needed them. Marlee and Grandma B and Grandma Lu did that at Christmas time too.

There was even a picture of a little girl and a chicken in the room that is used for both the Holiday Shop and the Photo Studio. Someone must have loved that picture because the name, Tanya was written on the back of it. Marlee looked and looked at it. She thought it was so cool. Then Marlee started thinking. Now you know every single time that Marlee starts to think really hard about something another adventure is about to happen.
What in the world would give Marlee an idea for an adventure just by looking at an old picture of a girl and a chicken?
We probably will find out on Monday what she has dreamed up this time. See you soon!
