Guess Who's Coming To Dinner....

Emma !!!! She will be here this evening and stay till Sunday morning. So it  will be craft time tomorrow. I have a couple of projects for us to work on. Her mom and aunt Karen are having their birthday on Sunday. So we will be making them something.  I'll be sure to post some photos. Hope all of you have a healthy fun weekend. Wash those hands kids. :)  xoxo

Heartfelt Surprise.....

 Here is a surprise I received in the mail. Little black stretchy gloves with handmade yellow scallops.They are adorable. We all can use an extra pair of cute gloves. Can't wait to show my sisters. :):)

Susan send them to me. She has a blog called  A Vintage Farmwife..... drop in and visit with her, I know she would like to have you visit.  This was very kind of Susan. It's so nice to get unexpected gifts. Thank you Susan. oxox

Trinket Boxes.....

 This is the dresser trinket box Ted made me for my birthday gift.  He also made me a little box to put needles in. He made some extra needle boxes,to put in the flea market this Spring.

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. I just had the best birthday, milked it for 3-4 days. LOL My sister took me to lunch yesterday. She read lots of facebook wishes to me. I felt so special:):) xo
Now reality is setting in ...and it's off to the union hall to see about my medical insurance, dental and visual also. Words of warning to anyone thinking of retiring....it's a ton of paperwork, for the rest of your life. I will count my blessings though, good to retire and good to have some insurance. Take care of your health, it's your best asset. xo

Birthday Fun....

 It's my birthday and I have been celebrating. I had brunch with my classmates yesterday and a gab session with one sister. Today I am having lunch with another of my sisters. I have received lots of cards , wishes , emails , and calls already. What fun. On Saturday, Angie made me cupcakes...I ate 1/2 of one, and will give away the rest :):) Emma is coming for the weekend.She may like one.

 Oh  yes, another year more wonderful....that means another year older too. LOL. Ted made me some trinkets boxes, I show pictures tomorrow. He also did the dishes, which he knows, I thinks that is so sexy when men do dishes.:) I wonder if I could make him think I have a birthday once a week.....

Flooding....

 Here's a picture of the neighbor's yard.  Still raining here. dreary day. I am going to light some candles to brighten my mood. The bottom photo is water standing around our mailbox. Hope it stops raining soon. We are suppose to get ice, sleet ,and snow mix , after this rain gets through here. But farther south in the state they received 3-5 inches of rain. Praying for them. xo

Picture Hanging....

 This picture is in the kitchen. It is where I wanted to hang the picture my g.son Korey gave us for a gift. But the kitchen walls are white and the picture has a light source in it, and the white walls didn't bring the colors out in the picture. So I hung it in one of the bedrooms for now. It really looks good with the dusty green walls....that the color of the walls , they aren't dusty, for once.:):) The painting in the kitchen is one I did some years back.  Today is another sunny one , so far. Yippee. xoxox

Squirrels....

 The snow is melting and the squirrels are running around . I think they are looking for their food supplies, that have been under the snow. As you can see I am still using my old camera...geech, I can not get the hang of the new one. Partly because of downloading on our computer. It is not allowing me like the 1st time. Driving me nuts and that is one short trip these days.:):)

 Some of the big drifts we had are still around. The sun is out right now, oh happy day. More rain in our forecast, switching to snow on Monday. Bummer.  Enjoy this great day and have a nice weekend. xo
