Home Alone

What's It Wednesday #70
Hey y'all, unfortunately Paula isn't feeling well, and my mom, Patti, is out of town. So I, Ashley, am kinda “home alone”. And even though I miss my mom terribly, don't worry, I've been getting by with some help from my friends.

Now I'm not exactly known for being domestic, but I gotta say we've been doing pretty okay (kinda sorta). 
We cooked.

We cleaned.

And took care of our beloved family pet Peeka...

well, most of us did. Nevertheless, I can't wait for her swift return (and for Paula to make a full recovery). But I do appreciate all of you stopping by and supporting 
Ivy & Elephants.
Thank You Very Much!
Ashley

Let the party begin!

(I hope I bought enough chips)
