Rough Couple of Days

You never know when something bad is going to happen. Wednesday morning something bad happened and no one knew it until Wednesday night. One of my mother’s best friends, a lady I have known my entire life, was found murdered in her home on Wednesday evening. Mama’s friend didn’t show up for a lunch date…

A Change for May

I have so much enjoyed this “birch” cone that I bought at a local shop, “A Little French.” For $10, this was a deal, in my opinion. In January it held glittered pine cones, in February it held red Sumac pods, in March and April it was adorned with Forsythia, and now for May it…

Arrangment Re-Do

Do you remember this arrangement? I was so pleased with it and unfortunately it was only pretty for a day or two. The wind kept blowing the arrangement out of the basket and everytime I put it back in, it looked a little worse. I finally took it down and have had a naked front…

Spring Break Week

This week is spring break for my school system. I’m glad that around here schools are off the week after instead of the week before Easter. When we return to school there will be only seven weeks left. Easter Sunday was a very nice day. I went to church with my mother, niece, and sister-in-law….

I’m so glad that my relatives saved these. I made some treats to share with everyone attending our Easter…

Longggg Week

Whew! Do you hear my sigh of relief that it’s finally Friday? I am counting down the days until spring break (10 days). People keep asking me if I’m going on a trip. Heck no! I want to spend time at home doing what I want to do. Nothing exciting at all is going on…

Easter Decorations

Last weekend I pulled out my Easter things and had a great time “bunnying up” my house. I love Easter decorations! Last year Easter was so early that I didn’t feel like I had enough time to enjoy my decorations before it was time to take them down. Come on in and see a few…
