Sunny Saturday...

    Yippee, the sun is shining.  It's cold but oh so pretty today. Just having  the sun shine is up lifting.
  Today in the mail, I received this magazine, cookies, candies and a sweet card from  Kris at Junk Chic Cottage. She's a sweetheart and has a great sense of style. Kris has a feature in this magazine, Romantic Country. I think that is wonderful.  Twelve full pages !!  If you can find yourself an issue, get it, you will totally enjoy seeing Kris and husband Terry's beautiful home.
  This is on my way into town . You know, I had to go to the grocery. It was crowded, but I managed to get in and out without too much time wasted.  As you can see the skies are blue, the sun is shining. Makes me smile.
  Wishing everyone a great weekend. XO

    1. Hi Linda, I love getting cards and letters . Gifts are even better.:):) There are days when I seem to wait for the mail....just hoping for a letter. My sister doesn't own a computer and never will...we write to each other quite a lot....but since my brother's passing, we have both had some sickness and slowed our letters down. I miss them. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
