The Adventures of Raggedy Ann 

(aka Olivia June)

~First Night~

One fine sunny afternoon Little Olive (aka Olivia June) came to stay 

with Grandmommy and Granddaddy while her parents were away.   

Grandmommy made a special place for Olive to play

with books and toys all in array. . . .

.....and dolls, of course. . . . 

While Granddaddy played musical apps on his iPad. . . .

 So little Olive wouldn't be too sad.

. . . .Then she tuckered out just a tad. . . .
(not!)

The little stinker only pretended to sleep, I must add. . . .

But soon it was off to bed for real....for all of us. . . .boy, am I glad. . . .

~Day 1~

Up early to play, then breakfast and all. . . .

 Then more play, till Marmee and Poppy (her other grandparents) came to call. . . .

 A walk in the woods, a push on the swing....look Grandmommy, I'm tall. . . .

~Day 2~

 To the Care Center Grandmommy and Marmee went to visit some friends,
so Olive could cheer them with her grins. . . .

Then back home to have a snack before naptime. . . .

But not before a bit of music sublime. . . .

Soon Olive was once again in her prime,
in the kitchen helping her "partner in crime". . . . 

. . . .my little mime. . . .

~Day 3~

The adventure continues....it's Dress-Up Day!
Time to make-believe and all sorts of play.
She loved wearing that cap, I'd like to say,
But not for long, so she soon had her way. . . .

Off came the cap, off came the dress
Instead it was to hug Gabriel with a tight caress. . . .

Then later a little dance with great finesse. . . .

                          

~Day 4~

Poetry the Calico Cat was still not abiding
She would not come out of hiding
But once Olive in bed was residing
Poetry came out to show her displeasure by presiding
(over Olive's domain). . . .

Wednesday we do our shopping

Our little helper came along hopping. . . .

Then a romp in the yard with lots of yawping. . . .

Ah, look what she found!  Little Red Riding Hood and book. . . .

More dress-up with fairy wings--take a look!
But, no, off this must be shook. . . .

Nothing like a little water play
To end a happy day. . . .

~Day 5~

Our last morning together, and I'm feeling blue
Soon we must bid adieu
A walk down to the mailbox was very much due
To mail my congratulations to my niece and her two.
Yes! Their twin girls made their debut!
And more congrats to my brother and sister-in-law, who
Are grandparents for the first time, too!
On the way back up the steep driveway (phew!)
We stopped to smell the flowers as one must do. 

One last stop at the dollhouse to view. . . .

One last merry run through. . . .

Then home at last to greet Mommy and Daddy anew. . . .
