Thank You Carol.....

 I won a give away, that Carol of  "Buttercup Counts her Blessings" had upon her return home. This is a wonderful  gift. Carol had gone to Australia from NYC where she lives.
  This cute tea towel of 100 % cotton. Embroidered with a koala bear.  Too cute to use.(smile)
 Carol also included this post card of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
 Plus a magnet with a copy of indigenous art  by Julieanne Turner.
 So I wanted to share this sweet gift with all of you. Thank you Carol. Oh by the way, go visit Carol's blog . She will take you on walking trips throughout NYC.  I always love to see the stores, shops, museums, and parks of NYC.  This sweet lady never sits still long. :)
 Have to show this sunset from Sunday evening on our way home from town.  It's the Midwest, always power/telephone  poles in the pictures. LOL.
  We had flurries yesterday mixed with sunshine at times. :) Today is sunny and cold. I know, I know, I should never complain after what everyone in the east is going thru.  Forgive me. I wish you all some sunny days and relief from this bitter March. XO

    1. Hi Debbie, I am so happy to hear from you. I hope you are enjoying life ...soon we will be able to get in our flowerbeds and maybe grow something pretty. I have been enjoying my great grands so much. Wasn't that a wonderful gift from Carol? She just returned to NYC and had the give away and I was happy to win. It's summer in that part of the world ...so she came home to those horrid storms. Blessings to you my forever friend, love you, xoxo, Susie

  3. Susie, what sweet gifts. The sunset is beautiful even with the power lines. Thank heavens for them but we just can't get away from them. I can't find any reason to complain about our weather either, even though I might say different at times..Happy Day..xxoJudy

    1. Judy, As bad as I felt our weather was at times, I know darn good and well we were blessed here in Indiana. I love getting sunset photos, would love the sunrises but would have to drive around for those as the woods down the road most often blocks them for me. Hope you are getting better weather, we need to get outside. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    1. Linda, Honestly, I do not know how you do it...you seems like a powerhouse of womankind . I get exhausted reading about what all you and LD do...two of the working-est people around. I would love to take a nap...I had one last year when I was sick. LOL. Blessings to you, love you and LD, xoxo, Susie
