Liz's New Do.....

 
Here's Lizzy's new hair do. It's her hair, no more wigs. I curled the back of her hair, into a little flip. It was good to be able to curl her hair again .  Here is Emma with her mommy .  Sorry, the flash didn't work, too much background light...not enough for a clear picture. Boy do I need lessons.:):):)Hope your weekend is fun.

Love This Truck....

I saw two men drive by in this truck. They parked and went to Burger King for their lunch. I told my sister, I have to take a photo of this truck, it's adorable.I love the colors it's been painted. White wooden side panels on the bed,and an aqua cab. Too cute !! The perfect truck to take junking.:):):)

Treasure Mart....

Here are a few photos of the treasure mart. My favorite junking place. So much stuff you can't see it all. Alot of fun to rummage through. I like to find things that I haven't a clue as to what it is. LOL.

The Size Of A Breadbox.....

It is a breadbox !! This is what Teddy Bear made me last week. It's made of walnut. I love it. Teddy also made me a bench for the porch out of some rough pine. That is with knots and cracks in the planks. I'll get a photo soon. I want to stain it first. I am a lucky lady :):)

Trees Downtown...

Some of the flowering trees in Tipton.  I got one of our street lamps in the photo. We had these lamps years ago, then they were taken down and new space age lighting went in.....Then 20 or more years later, back to these older lamps again. So funny, like the old adage, everything old is new again.:):)

Bits Of Sister Day....

 Ted took this picture..eekkk , could he do any worse LOL Brenda, Barb, me(Susie), Jeanie, and Pam.

Here we are walking down the road. Barb(stripes) was acting out something, and Jeanie says "oh stop, I am going to pee my pants." I think I'l get a box of old lady pull-ups so we can laugh and not worry about it.:):)  It was a great day, nice weather. All my sisters were happy . We all had some nice gifts for Jeanie, because her birthday was Monday and she retired. In case you are wondering...I am the oldest, then Jeanie, Brenda, Pam and Barb. And don't forget there are my 6 brothers !!! We always call the oldest brother on our "days" , just to torment him...well yes we still do that ,LOL. When he answers the phone, we yell "YA-YA" He says "oh no !!!"

A Different Kind Of Placecard.....

I made these little nest with eggs for my sisters. I'll place them on the napkins on the plates . I will sure try to get pictures tomorrow. We may not get to walk, if it rains. We usually have our lunch, take a walk, then have dessert / coffee and just visit. We have looked at old pictures of us growing up . Plus our old yearbook from school. Of course we laugh our butts off. :):) hope you enjoy your weekend. xo

More Flowering Trees...

Wish these were mine, but they are not. The top photo  is of a cute house that was down the street  from me when I lived in town. The tulip tree is so full of blooms and look under it, that's even pretty. Today was plenty warm here....I am ready for 60 degrees, not these 80's. Hope you had a good day.

Happy Spring Everyone....

My weeping cherry tree is blooming, over night. I was hoping it would wait till after Thursday. I am having my sisters out on Saturday. It would be nice if my 3 flowering trees would be in bloom then.

Apricot Blossoms....

The neighborman trimmed his trees today. So I got a bouquet from his apricot tree. It may not last long...but for now it's so pretty. :):)

Blooms For Spring....

I just placed my little pots of pansys in my container , I'll be planting them later. The neighbor's apricot tree is in full bloom. So pretty. I am planning a Sister Day Luncheon, next Saturday. I am hoping all my flowering trees will wait till my sisters visit.:):) I had a busy week , with cleaning the lawn of hickory nuts and hulls. Cut back all the flowering bushes. Teddy Bear even pulled out 3shrubs, I no longer wanted. All that work took two days, cause we are so out of shape. Then on Friday, I went to my daugher's house that she sold and helped her shampoo carpets. OMGeezoo, I am totally wore out today. So I am resting, well as soon as I get finished with laundry, cooking and cleaning up.....where is that maid  I dreamed of having when I retired??? Hope all of you can rest a bit today and just enjoy some sunshine.

New Spring Accents....

Here is my porch table. It was kind of dirty faded looking on top. So I painted it and stamped ivy leafs on it and one of the birdhouses. Just a little something to dress the porch up for Spring. I need to get some plants for the planters and arrange everything. Still looking for a reasonable rug for the porch. Enjoy this weekend.

More Treasure Mart Things....

I absolutely loved this wicker chaise, but have no room for it here. I would not want to leave it out in the weather. Here's a bunch of old glass doorknobs. I like looking at them. The drop leafed table was nice also. Today , I am going to Horton's in Tipton, for their Spring Market. I'll let you know if I pick up anything. Happy weekend to all of you.

Hello John Wayne....

Yes, even John goes to treasure mart. There were a lot of saddles and horse riding supplies. I think this may all be new things too. They sure looked new. I just have never seen this at the mart before. The John Wayne cutout was live sized.:):) Man stuff.

Going To Treasure Mart.....

My daughter came to visit for a couple days. :) We went to one of our favorite places, good old treasure mart. We were there for almost 3hours !! I guess we wanted to see everything.:):) Kathy did get herself some sweet little treasures .  I got a couple myself.   I'll show more pictures later. Hugs to all of you.

Selling Their Home...

My daughter Angie and s-i-l Mark sold their home. Jake is turning 21 , in two  weeks. The girls have flown the nest. So they do not need such a big house, four bedrooms and 4 baths,to heat and cool, anymore. They are renting while they build a smaller home. But I have such great memories , of times in their home, it's hard for me to see them move. I can't put Jake in his little  swing, tell him to shake his red curls back, while I fly him to the moon. That's one of my favorite memories. Sierra, Jake, and I would rake leaves and they would jump in them. :):) Margo and Sierra putting on plays.The cookouts, crafting, playing ball, little swimming pools, making snowmen, lemonade stands. It's the fun memories, not the house. But I feel kind of sad.

If This House Could Talk...

You'd all be crying, if you listened to it. The bay window , on the second story , is where we lived when I was 10. This old house is an apartment building still. It didn't seem to be in this good shape, when we lived in it. This is where we lived when my parents divorced. I do not think their marriage was ever smooth. Being a kid, you do not always know what goes on with adults. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Love to all of you.

Last Night....

As I was finishing up my emails to my daughters, some one was watching me. I see the moon, the moon sees me. I love looking at the moon and stars. I really love sunrises and sunsets too. This morning it's raining, hope your day is sunny.

This Was Also At The Sale....

Some Easter things. Baskets, bunnies, sweet dishes. I was tempted on the dishes:):) Sometimes I am a dish freak. Just can't help it. My problem is where to put so many things I love...know what I mean ladies?

What Is This?????

This is a cute little jar that I got on Saturday, at the 4-H sale. I do not know what it is used for. The lid is metal and screws on a metal rim on the jar. I would think some kind of cold cream jar..except it has pictures of fruit on the sides. It says Royal Worcester Porcelain, made in England, On the bottom. Even though  I do not know what it is..It was only one dollar. I thought I could put sugar packets in it. :):)

Two Sale Items.....

Here are a couple things I bought at the 4_h rummage sale. This sweet leafy wreath for a dollar. It's leaning on a wooden bowl...not such a good photo. Then there is this orange colored shifter. I rarely shift anything, but I just thought it was so nice for two dollars. I may turn it into some craft. Or hang it on the wreath, then have it out at Autumn.:):) Happy  Sunday to all. xo.

The 4-H Rummage Sale....

This is the sale Tipton had in the 4-H building. Lots of stuff, as Teddy says.:):) Here is a table of colorful glass items. I like to see the pretty colors but I don't buy it. My sister Jeanie ,and I went to the sale, two other sisters didn't make it. We enjoyed ourselves. I bought 5 dollars worth of treasures . I'll show them later.
  I hope all of you are safe. Let's keep the storm victims in our prayers.

Robins Are Here.....

Robins are a true sign of Spring for me. Hope you can see this little fellow. I need a better zoom on my camera. We had some tornados warning in the two counties south of here. Whew...it's all sunshiny now . Hope tomorrow is nice, even though rain/snow mix may be in our future. Hope all of you  have a nice weekend.:):)

I Want To Go Junking...

These pictures are from Treasure Mart in Kokomo..I'd love to go today. But I may just hold off till Saturday. Our city is having a big rummage sale at the 4-H building. When I went there last time, I got the old scales that still worked. Yes, that's what I will do, just wait . Then if I don't find anything there, I'll go to Treasure Mart. Hope all of you are well today.
