Invite Betty To Your Home
By Patti
Bettys husband is currently deployed and she would like to take an adventure to spend time with military wives around the globe.
Rules: Betty Lou will stay at the home of a military family for 7 days at a time. Betty Lou fits in a standard size envelope. It costs nothing to have Betty Lou to your home, however you must supply an envelope and stamp as her "airfare."
You must document your adventure with Betty Lou in the group area so everyone can see the exciting pictures and read about her adventure with you. Have fun! :)
Betty Lou at Aprille's House
By AprilleBetty Lou's journey to my house began about three weeks before she actually arrived. I was hoping that she would arrive in time to experience our PCS with us, but, instead, she had a little PCS of her own. She went back and forth between Texas and North Carolina quite a few times because the mail service didn't want to forward her on to our new address. Abbie joked that it probably would have been faster had she hand-delivered Betty Lou to me...and she probably would have been right.
I'm sure that Betty Lou was overjoyed to get out of that envelope! She arrived at our house just in time for a dinner of meatloaf, beans, and french fries. Here we are giving thanks for our food:
Betty Lou had her very own seat in our car:
Most mornings, Betty Lou and I had a cup of coffee together. Betty Lou loves coffee. I think some of that has to do with the fact that she was "born" at Carly's house. :)
Betty Lou seemed rather fond of cookies, so I shared mine with her.
Hubby decided to give her a fortune cookie:
Her fortune said this:
"Beauty will surround you - open your eyes to see it."
Betty Lou liked staying in our guest bedroom...although I think the bed was a tad big for her.
Betty Lou enjoyed a service at our church:
We took Betty Lou to a park in town.
Here she is finding her place on the map:
