The box 📦 her birthday present came in, was definitely a hit today. Thanks...I think 🤔 ... @lpsimrin and @ksimrin ...not sure she will let me take her out of it. 😂😊🙌🏽 #memawandpapaw
I’ve been stripping paint for the last 48 hours. But now it’s time to go back to momming. 💕#breakfastdate #barbararose #muchbetterjob
All week, I’ve been thinking and dreaming about this damn kitchen. It’s nice to walk by it tonight in a different light. It’s really not so bad. 😊 I think 🤔 I’m just trying to make it ours. #banishbernadette
Trying to blend in. #newtomediapa

Great weekend reminiscing old times and remembering Ben. I got to visit the portrait I painted of him in grad school at Kate and Ben’s lovely home. And got to see one of my favorites he painted, at his show. If you are downtown in Knoxville please stop by the UT downtown gallery on Gay street and see his paintings. They are playful and lovely. 💕🌈 Ben you are missed. @utkgalleries #gratefuldeadforever
Been away from my little family for a few nights. This is the first time this mama has left her little Barb. It’s been great, it’s been weird, I needed it and now I’m ready to go home. Thanks so much to Lauri and Kirk for taking care of her and the pups. Love you both. And thanks to my supportive husband who knew I needed to leave and say goodbye to an old friend. Love you and all that sappy stuff. Photo cred: @ksimrin 📸 and @lpsimrin 💕
