Let's Play!!!

Warm day, sunshine and the local park with gigi and papaw. Priceless

Sunshine, rain and sunshine

Some days are like that you have a little sunshine and then a little rain then some more sunshine. This is how today has been for me I woke up this morning feeling great the weather today was warm and we had sunshine and I was ready for play (thrift shops). Then my phone rang and some bad news, one of my dear friend's brother was rushed back to the hospital and the family was called in and told he may not make it through the day. He was told a few weeks ago he has lung cancer and it seems to be rapidly spreading the doctor's did and emergency procedure on him earlier today, my friend is exhausted. Please pray for this family, my friend is a strong christian woman and she knows God will be with them through this. Then came sunshine again when I picked up my grandson and he saw me and came running to me with a big smile and gave me a kiss. We have had a wonderful afternoon, we went by the police station to see papaw at work, Sonic for a diet Dr.Pepper (don't tell his mommy it wasn't milk or juice) and played outside in the late afternoon. We now have on our p.j.'s after a bath and we are watching a movie until bedtime. He smells so sweet and warm it reminds me life is good and to enjoy the simple moments.....Barb

Books,books and more books

I love to read and I seem to be passing that on to my little man, he has tons of books at home and when he come's over to stay with Gigi we love to "read" a good story. Cars, animals and fish are high on the reading list right now and anything that has a bug or worm. One of my favorite children's books is Goodnight Moon, that was a book I read to my girls a million times when they were growing up. A good memory and now making more good memories....Barb

Sweet Tray

My mom gave me this very cute tray sunday,it's so cute.I love that it's a mirror with silver rose handles.I put it on my coffee table with some of my vanilla candles. The small dish with the candle was my grandmother's, I've had it about 19 years now. The gold fabric has beads on the ends and I just scrunched it around on the coffee table. Have a blessed day....Barb

Hull Swan

My mother-in-law gave me this swan a few years ago it has been in my amoire in my bedroom. I have to admit I never really liked it much but, lately I'm thinking it's growing on me. Now my next question is what would you put in it ?If anything and where in your home would you display it? I have been moving it around the past week trying to find a spot for it.....Barb (I took this pic from the internet as I was searching for the age of the swan)

My reason today to eat junk food!

It's a good reason, right? Nacho's and some chicken wings things I don't eat most of the time. I was good this morning, I drank a berry smoothie drink on the way to church .Hope you enjoy the game and may your team win. I will have some pics of some new treasures to show you this week. Oh and when you go to Wal-mart check out the Paula Deen Candles they have yummy smells, I have one burning now and even with a stuffy nose it smells good....Barb (have a blessed day)
