I love when a boring hum-drum kind of day turns out to be really fun! It was a Gorgeous day today. The weather--PERFECT. I had to pass some notes out to Primary children who weren't there Sunday so they would know what was going on for the Primary Program this week. I thought it was perfect weather for a walk so Emma and I ventured out to get our notes out. I love being in a neighborhood long enough that I see a familiar face whenever I take a walk. I ran into about 3 ward members who I stopped to visit with.
There are some good people around here!
After the notes were distributed, we were heading home when
the AMAZING Sister Cook
(scroll down to August 23rd on cjane's blog to read all about Sister Cook)
came out to say hi.
I just love this woman!
She's right up there with my mom on my list of favorite women. She had her 4-yr-old granddaughter and one of my favorite Primary children (is that wrong to have favorites?) over playing princesses. They were dressed in dresses and had just finished putting their "makeup"on. They were darling! This little Primary girl saw Emma and ran up and gave her and me a big hug. (so cute!) Sister Cook invited us in to play so I said that we would love to. The girls took Emma into the office to print her off a princess picture for her to color and they went into the family room to color them. The Cook's house is so beautiful and I was so impressed that she wasn't the least bit worried that her beige carpet would get drawn on or painted on. She told me to relax..."it's just carpet!" What a fun grandma! She had a bag of old makeup the girls were playing with and they took Emma into the bathroom to make her over.
Here's the result:
Gorgeous! This is when we got home so half of it had already worn off! (nice smile.)
Here the princess is with her princess picture. Sister Cook even gave her a pretty little bracelet!
Emma was in heaven!
It was just such a fun visit! While the girls played, I had the chance to visit with Sis. Cook. She is such a remarkable person. Everytime I'm done talking with her, I feel like I've learned so much and I feel like a better person. I don't really know how else to explain it. She's such a great lady! It was a fun afternoon. Emma had a blast playing with the "big girls" and I had a blast visiting with an amazing lady!
Today, I am thankful for the opportunity to know such a lady and for a lovely afternoon!
Thank you Sister Cook!

I too love Sister Cook. I must have missed you because I came out of my house to play with Addie and saw the two darling girls with their princess makeup and pictues. It was hilarious. I have to agree with you, Sister Cook is marvelous. She is such a good person and so fun to talk to. Addie loves her and likes to go to her house and play with her kitty kat toys.
I love it! Those pictures are so stinking cute.
Emma is such a cutie!
