AHEAD OF THE GAME.......... NOT

Good afternoon; I hope every one had a great weekend.  Today we are finally having some sunshine,  after all the thunderstorms and high winds.  And I have read that some of you are still getting snow,  well yesterday we did get a few snow showers but nothing much.  I keep hoping that it will all be done with and Spring will be here for good. 

Now on to my real post.... ha ha   Does anyone else think that they are ahead of the game???????   Well I have days that I think I am.. Then,,,,,,,,,,,,,   Boom!  things happen and you get so far behind the Game that you don't think you will  ever see the light of day....  Well this was my weekend,,, so many things all rolled into one Huge ball.  Friday watching 4 grandkid's with unlimited energy,  then hubby gets home from work still not feeling well, Poor thing,,  and a weekend with two grand kids plus one son their daddy.  So with taking care of my hubby  [which I don't mind doing]  then with running after two little ones took up all of my weekend....   OH not to mention I did not get to see most of the Race Sunday afternoon...  But good news my guy won.... yea #48..   So I did not get any thing done,  craft wise... I have been doing so well with my Easter Swap Basket. I was sure I was going to make the dead line of mailing it out....  Buuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttt nooooooooooo   So sadly I had to send out the email that lets my very kind and sweet Swap partner now that I would be mailing it out late this week...  I almost never make a dead line,   why is that.........    hmmmm  I really need to work on that....  

Ok ladies my very great Prayer Worriers  I am in need of your Prayers, I just received a phone call from hubby, that  our Dr. called and needs to see him as soon as possible this week, it seems he has found something wrong with his  stress test and other ones.  So please keep him in your prayers for what ever it is that it is not very serious at all...  He has been seeing a  Heart Dr for quite some time in the past, but now it seems something is not right again...  he does suffer from very high blood pressure and is on so many pills for that....  I want to thank you all for being there for everyone,,,, who is in need of  Prayers.  It is so very comforting to know that you are there to lean on for times like these. 

Blog family's are just the best,  I will keep you all up dated on what the Dr. finds out, his appt is for Thursday.  I must say that I am a lot worried  my friends....... 

 

 

I will be looking to the Lord during this time, I thank him every day for being  there to lean on for strength and comfort.  His Love is never ending....  So until next time;  God bless;

I'M LONGING FOR FLOWERS

Good afternoon every one; I hope you are having a great day. We are getting rain today, at least it is not snow...  It is making my sinus's hurt but  I won't let that keep me down.... I am Woman...  So this afternoon is a quite one, grandson is taking a nap, still has his head cold and cough, Poor baby, but no fever.  So I have been working in my craft room trying to finish my projects for the Easter Swap.  I really don't have much to finish, it is just finding the time to do them. With the rainy day I really feel like Veggin in front of the TV watching some old movies.  I have quit a collection of old movies.  But alass that is not to be..  "sigh"   

In a lot of my visit's to my blog family, I have been noticing that some of you are planting already... I am so very jealous of you. Some of your flowers and plants are so beautiful, I can't wait to start here. I am hoping that in April I will be able to start my planting.  

I just love this photo, some day I will be able to pick flowers like these.  I want to have a cutting garden so I can have fresh flowers all the time...  mmmmmmmm   I can smell them now, can't you....

Well that is about it for now not much else going on, thank goodness.  I must go and dry my hair or it will look like cotton candy.... lol   I thank you all for the visit's I so love to have visitors.   So please feel free to stop by any time, my posts may not be very fabulous but every thing I write is from my heart and my life.   Which is way I get so excited to have you all stop by and read my silliness...   I hope you all have a great Day and a lovely tomorrow....   Until next time;  God Bless;

SPRING BREAK

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend.  I wish I could say we all had a great weekend,, but all my boys were sick. My honey bunny, my son and my grandson.  So I was playing nurse all weekend, which was not too bad. Honey bunny can't seem to get rid of his nasty sore throat, so he was  down most of  time, my Son was feeling the same as Dad, and poor baby Zach, he had the worst.. A high temp. and chest cough and head congestion....  But he is doing better today, still has a low temp and head and chest cold, but not as bad...  And as for my other two boys they are doing fine...  I am praying that I don't get sick now.  We are having such great weather I would hate to be stuck in the house sick... 

Ok enough of all that sick talk....  We have been having some really wonderful days, high 50's and mid 60's..  Today was so very windy, so I could not do any work out side. I hope that tomorrow I can get out to do some yard work.  I have been working on my Easter Swap gifts, and if I do say so myself they are looking pretty good.  I  am excited to get them done and sent out to my new sweet partner....   I have been looking through some of my garden magazines to get some ideas for planting this year.  I will be doing a lot of digging in our front yard, all my energy will be going into the front.  So when money allows  we will be getting a small white picket fence for the front with a harbor I have a very clear view of how it is going to look... So now the only problem is getting it out of my head and into the yard...lol;  

So I guess that is all that is going on in my life today, not too much excitement. I want to thank you all for the lovely and sweet comments on Pink Saturday...  You are all just the sweetest friends in the world.  I hope you all have a great week, and lots of sunshine.............   So until next time... God Bless;

Good morning every one;  oh what a wonderful day it is too. Ok my morning went like this... Up at 6 am Hubby up at 6:15  coffee for him, then get my grandson Zachary started getting up at the same time. Yes we have our grandson Zachary living with us, oh and his dad, that is another post. Any way I fix breakfast for hubby and Zachary, hubby leaves for work at about 7:30, still trying to get Zachary ready for school.  Ok he has his hair all done brushed his teeth, oh and he loves to use his papaw's deodorant and smell good, that is what he calls it..

Then it is out the door and off to school.. whewww!  I could not wait to get home to fix my coffee and my toaster strudel, my feet are up and now I having some quite time doing my posting and then get to visit some of you... I feel so bad that I have not be by to visit most of you, some have been way to long. And I am so sorry for that, I really have not forgot any of you just trying to find my way with all the changes going on in our home, but I think my routine is getting better...  My windows are open  as well as the family room patio doors, letting in all this wonderful warm weather..

Yesterday afternoon I was getting our patio ready sweeping and  getting it all set for Spring. I still have lots to do with it, but a least it is getting there.  So later today I will be out front raking up some left over leafs and twigs from the yard, then Zach will be home from school, then I will be in my craft room working on my Easter Swap basket, I have cup up with some pretty great gifts for my partner, so I hope she likes it...  So ladies that is my morning so far... I am tired already .  lol

Now on to my winning a give a way... ohhhhh goodness... I was so very excited to be the very luck winner of Heidi's give a way, from  foxgloves, fabric and folly. She had a drawing a while back for her very beautiful Pink and White Quilt,,, and I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    [squeal very loud]    I was just so amazed that my name was drawn out from over 130  comments....  I have been blessed with this winning... So Yesterday my door bell rang, and when I opened the door there was this wonderful looking box  looking up at me....  I was so very excited, as I picked it up and saw the name on the box, I knew what was inside.  I could not wait to see it,,,,  so I will show you some of the photos I took... I hope you are still with me, I know it is getting to a long post,,, sorry... he he

 

Heidi took such care in packing this beautiful quilt...

  

This is how she bundled it up, with a pretty ribbon and a very sweet note. She had this little beauty so snug and wrapped that nothing could have messed it up... Now how sweet and caring was that I ask you... But then if any of you know Heidi you already know how she is.. 

I just had to get a photo of it out side on my patio, the light was just perfect for it..... Don't you just love the color Pink, I am so in love with this quilt. So now I had to find a place to put it so every one could see it...

So I thought it would look pretty on my dinning room table, I know it is a small one, it used to be in our kitchen nook in our other home, but with all my grandkid's coming and going I was worried about it... So I have a four poster bed with the side rails so I hung it behind out head board. It looks pretty great. Sorry I did get a photo of it, but I will today and sneak it in tomorrow's post. 

It any of you have not been to Heidi's blog,  then you really should pay her a visit. She is such  a caring loving friend. Heidi is so understanding as well, with a huge Heart for others....  I love to read her posts, from everything to her family, her beautiful home and the recipes she shares.  So I hope you will pay her a visit, I promise you will not be disappointed...  Well I guess that is about it for now,,,,,,   hey do I hear a  it's about time......  he he

I hope every one had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day yesterday, and I hope you all have a beautiful day today...  I am listening to a Robin calling for it's mate.... how sweet the sound....  love it.

I thank you for stopping by to read my posts, and then to leave me a comment about it...  You all make my days so much brighter... I still keep you all my prayers and in my heart.....

Until next time  enjoy life... God Bless

GRANDKID'S FOR THE WEEKEND. WHEWW

Good evening; I hope every one had a wonderful weekend. Mine you ask????????   Well lets just say I am ready for a long quite vacation...... lol  The sweet little girl in the above photo is my youngest grand daughter Madison Lee, 18 months old. What a spit fire she is, she is a very busy little bee, if I could harness her energy we  would not have a problem with high gas prices.  Madison wore me out, and her older brother Zachary Thomas,,,, he is five and well lets just say that when he does not have it his way,,, look out.  Then there was Logan, he did not stay the weekend, but had just as much liveliness as the other two.

 

They had a great time driving the cars, it seems that all my grand daughters would rather play with the cars then the dolls, or tea party. hmmmm  do you think they might take after me;;;;  I was a tom boy when I was little, my Sister was so much older then me that she did not want to have me tag along with her friends.... So I followed my brothers around...   We did have a fun weekend and very busy weekend at that.

Aww look Daddy is trying to teach her to fly, she was just loving it. She even has on her antennas with pink bows, I bet she can get China on them,, but  I call them her personality. lol   

Zachary playing Bat Man.

Maddy playing Bat Man, but she turned her face just as I snapped the photo. 

This is her fist time with the color book and crayons, which she thought was lipstick, and kept trying to put it on her lips.. Which I did not get a photo of ,,,,,, darn it...

And Zachary is making a snowman for me...   So this was my weekend ladies..  I am so loving the quite time now.  The weather was just great  Sunny and not as cold, so Daddy took them out to play and then to the park,,,,,, Yea,, oh then nap time when they got home..  For them and me!!!!  lol    

Ok had to get one more photo in of little Logan, he and Madison are learning to talk, and the word they like the most is NO.. can you believe that....    But  they are working on using other words as well, like     don't want to.. or  don't like it....   I hope to add some good ones in as time goes on...  but they are polite when they do say  don't want to,, then comes  thank you.. don' you love it......  I am sorry if I don't make any sense,  with some of this or I am rambling on, but my Brain is not working for some odd reason. So I think I should stop now,,, so I can do some catching up with you all. I have not had the time to visit you, and I sure do miss that...  So I wish to Thank you for all for stopping by my humble blog and leaving a kind comment, which I so love to read. You all make my day so very bright...  How blessed I am ..... to have friends like you....  have a beautiful week...  God Bless

A PACK OF WONDERFUL SCRAPBOOK GOODIES FROM A SWEET FRIEND

Good evening to you all;  we are getting rain again and I have a small lake in my back yard again.  I am not sure but I think I saw a squirrel water skiing out there, and my sweet little chipmunk  tossing a beach ball,,,,,,,,,,  lol;   Yesterday with such bad storms we had some Tornados  pass through ,  one was a few miles from our town, but where it hit did such damage to a Trailer park, it was so sad to see it all on the News, my heart we out to all the ones who lost their homes.  So tomorrow we had a high wind warring again, with some storms.  I will be Praying that it is not as bad as the other day.   OK  enough about the weather here... 

I have been very slow and not very thoughtful in posting about the wonderful packet of  Scrapbook goodies that Kathy from Country Chintz.  If you have not been to her blog, well then you really should pay her a visit. I just love her blog, she is a very talented lady. She makes such cute and pretty scrapbook  tags and trading cards and just about any thing scrappy.  Kathy is just a sweet dear friend,  we were trading  scrapbooking cards , so when her rather large envelope arrived  I was so surprised to see not just a card, but a packet of beautiful tags and photos of all sorts for scrapbook ing.  Kathy always go's above and beyond the call of duty.  I did send her a huge Thank You email to let her know I did get it....................   But I did not get around to share it with you all, and that is a very shameful thing.  So here are some photos of what she sent me.... 

There was so much in there I could hardly get them all in there.  So I had to take some at different angles. 

I am so sorry they are not very clear, but don't you just love the little Irish king, he is just love him.....

I really adore the little pink baby chicks, can't you just see them marching across the bottom of a card or scrapbook page.... ooooo so so sweet.

Kathy jut sent so many beautiful things love the paper hearts and lace , some ribbon Kathy I am so loving it.......

You know I don't think I have shown you every thing, some are buried underneath.  I have been taking them all out at times just to look at each one, I have not used them yet, but when I do I will make sure to do a post  about it.    Kathy also has a very kind and caring heart, she is still waiting on my trading card, not even one unkind word about me being so late on sending it out.  But then that is how Kathy is with every one she comes in contact with, she is a true friend. 

I am working on her packet now, after what she sent me I would not feel right just sending her one little ol'  trading card.... lol   I am have great fun finding some really great goodies for her.   Now I am usually not so bad about things like this, but it has not been a very great  year for our family so far.  Now I am not making excuse's  here  but life just got in the way this time..... 

So Kathy  I thank you again so very much for you sweet thoughtful and very generous packet...   I am so over whelmed with   you  kindness....    So if some of you have not been by her lovely blog, pop over and give her a  look see, you will so enjoy it...

I have my new  Vintage Easter Swap Partner  and her name is Kathy, another Kathy...lol   So I am so excited to have met a new friend, she has not blog yet, but she is a sweet lady. And I can't wait to get started on her  basket.  Heidi  hosts such wonderful swaps, and we all have such fun getting to meet and make new blog friends, and to make them something special just for them.  Heidi  does just an amazing job at keep track of  all of us, and making sure every little detail is just so,  So Heidi you have  knocked this one out of the ball park............  

Ok I had better end this, it is quit long now... I hope I have not lost any of you... lol   So until next time;; God Bless

SPRING IS CLOSE AT HAND NOW... YIPPY

Good evening every one; I hope you all had a wonderful day today.  I saw my first Robin today I have been hearing them singing the past couple of days, but have yet to see one, until today. I was so excited when I saw it I almost ran off the road, lol

So  I took a walk around my yard to see if  any of my fall bulbs were sprouting  up, and some of them are.. Yea!!!!!  I have not seen any of my fancy Tulips yet but my  Hyacinths are, I was so happy to see that I did not kill them yet..  They are the deep purple ones.  My bearded Iris are starting to pop up.  So things are looking pretty good so far. I have been thinking of how I want to landscape the front yard, and what to plant. So I have decided that a English Country Garden would look beautiful. So we are going to put up a white picket fence with an arbor, I am planting some Wisteria  there then some more Roses,  Foxgloves and what ever I think of.  We have three trees in the front, so in the middle of them where hardly any grass grows  I want to make a nice seating spot.  With a gravel path that wanders through the yard. Now I know that all of this will take some time, but I can see it all in my head.  I  will make sure I take lots of photos of the process, which will be all done in the next couple of years... lol.  But I am excited about getting started on it. 

Today my Sweet Daughter Heather lugged her carpet shampoo to my home, and then she cleaned my family room carpet.  How sweet is that I ask you. She did a great job, now my carpet is clean, it is still ugly but clean... lol  Some day I will buy my own, I would love to have one, to keep all the carpets cleaned.  I think I am getting ready to do some  spring cleaning. It is that time of year, when we all get down with the cleaning and removing of things we can't figure out why we still hang on to it..  In my town we have a weekend of Spring clean up and every one drags their trash to the curb, I love that time of year, I go shopping you never know whose trash could end up my treasure.  Now I know that is a strange thing to do, clean out our trash and then go and find some ones else's to bring home..  But I will only bring home something I will really use... Cross my Heart........................   It is amazing what people will toss out.  Have any of you seen the HGTV show Junk Brothers, they find tossed out junk and then redo it then they take it back to them. I love that show they come up with the most  wonderful looking things...  I just thought you all would like to know that....   Soooooooooooo  that is about it for now.

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by for a visit, and leaving such sweet comments, you are all just wonderful friends.

I hope you all have a great week, So until next time; God Bless

FEELING BETTER, THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYER'S

Good evening;  I am feeling better tonight. so I Praise the Lord for that. I really really do like being sick,.......   ha ha like any one likes being sick.  When you have a Husband who is sick too and you can't do the things you need to too take care of your loved ones really stinks big time... So I am Praying that I will continue to stay on this path. But I am so unhappy to say that my Poor sweet Honey Bunny is still sick, every one at his  work is really getting sick also,  so he is getting over this really nasty chest cold very slow.  I am so blessed to have him as my husband, even with him not feeling well, and with all the heavy rain and very windy today, he went to the store for me.  How lucky am I.......    So ladies please  keep my Sweet Honey Bunny in your prayers so he will get over this nasty bug.  I thank you all so much for the wonderful comments and well wishes.  I am very Blessed to have such caring and loving friends as you all are.  

Ok now I am done with all the mushy stuff........lol    Do you just love the cute little  bunnies, I love bunnies and roosters , cow. and lot of animals.  Yesterday I think I hear a Robin singing  in the morning... I was so excited to hear that sound, but have not seen one yet, I am still on the look out for one....     It has been so rainy and windy this weekend,  now don't get me wrong  it is so much better then snow.  When I got up this morning  my back yard was flooded again, my poor fur babies did not want to go out, I did not blame them one bit. But they were such little troopers they did..

I just love this photo too,  I forgot I had this file with some photos I found on  Dogpile,,,  now don't you think that is a awful name for a search engine but I do like it, you can find lots of things, it is better the google I think...    So because I have under the weather this weekend I did not get any thing done.  My daughter Heather has the week off work this week so  she is bring over her rug cleaner and I am going to really clean my very old and very ugly blue carpet, I can't wait. I have been wanting to do this for some while now, but you know how it is....  I have lots of cleaning to get done too, to get rid of that little bug, so we all don't get sick again. When I clean to get rid of the virus I wipe off all my door knobs and just about anything that has been touched, no matter how little it may be it will get a dose of  bleach and antibacterial spray.    Well that is about it for now my dear friends, I hope to have much more interesting things to post about for you next week.  I will keep all of those who are in need of Prayer, in my heart and Prayers.  May the Lord Bless and Keep you all...

Until next time; God Bless.

WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING;

             Good morning to all; I hope you are having a good day. I am wore out already, took my grandson to school this morning, I am not used to getting a little one ready for school. it has been over ten yrs since I had to do that... whewwwwwww... but we made it. I did enjoy it though. Zachary is in Kindergarten and he is doing pretty good, yesterday we practiced tying our shoes, that was a mess, but he will get there.. I remember learning how to tying my shoes, it took me a while to get it. 

Any way it is going to St. Patties Day soon, are there any Irish out there?????  and if so do you celebrate???   I don't think I have any Irish in our family.  I wonder how green beer tastes....  I don't like beer in the first place but green  ewwwww  I don't think so. 

I have entered in Heidi's Easter basket Swap, and I am so excited about it, I have so much fun with her swaps. So today I have to get started on my basket for my partner too be.  I am trying to think of some really cute but different Easter goodies, so I am going to be doing some home work on this. Maybe surf the wed for some ideas  or HGTV. 

 

        

Hey Look at what I found for you..... Do you like it.  I saw this little man running around my back yard, looking lost so I asked him if he needed any help and he asked me if I new of a any one he could give this too....  So naturally I thought of all of you out there my sweet Blog Friends.  So please enjoy your pot of gold.  Well I have some work to do before I can go and play in my craft room.  I want to thank you all for taking the time to stop by for a visit, and the kind and sweet comments.

Good afternoon to all my friends. I am do you all of you....... oh and yes  you too over in the corner...   Oh remember that old Coke Commercial  I'd Like to "Teach the World to Sing In Perfect  Harmony"   I loved that one, made me want to get buy a Coke, and I like Pepsi. lol   Ok now I know that this does not have any thing to do with my post, but it all of a sudden popped in my head, does that happen to any of you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,  gosh I sure hope so.. he he

So my poor Honey Bunny is still sick, he did not go to work today which I am happy for. He slept  until noon, and he never! dose that, that is how bad he is feeling.  So on Saturday I did some shopping and brought home all the goodies to make him feel better,,,  you know the  usual,,,,   cough med. cough drops, chicken soup,  oh and I made him a white coconut cake yummy, and wouldn't you know I did not get a photo of it before every one hacked in to it.....  sorry, but oh my sweeties it was the bomb.....

 

So when I am not feeling to well, Honey Bunny is always bringing me home some beautiful flowers, so when I saw these at Wal Mart and on sale I just had to buy then for him. After all Men deserve flowers too. Do you think????????????????????    I knew you all did.

They smell so pretty, just like Spring and Summer,,, ahhhh Spring, I miss you so much. Where or Where are you.....

Sorry I just had to get some close ups of the beauty of this Rose's. 

You know how feel when you are not feeling to good right;;;;;;;;; Well of course you do, how silly of me.. We this morning I was not my best to say the least.  So like I always do let the doggies out to do their business, ok and then they came on in again. Well I went to lay down a bit,  which turned out to be a little longer, and when I came to see what the babies were up to,,,,, Well I was so in shocked at what I saw I could not move or even had the good sense to grab my camera to take a photo. But I was so so up set at them for what they did,  OK are you all on pins and needles yet..... hope so or did you leave me yet.........    Any way all over my floor in the family room was a  left of a tissue box and tissue's all over.  You could not even tell it was a box by the fun they had with it, oh and the tissue's  well  lets just say it looked like we had a snow storm in the house....  I was so mad at them,,,  but they just jumped around and looked so happy, it was like Mommy looked hwhat did for you, does it look pretty.....   ohhhhhhhhh noooooo not really my babies. So out side they went so I could get on all fours and do some cleaning up...  I really wish I thought of getting out my camera to show you all, but I think You get the picture..

Now don't worry they are fine I did not spank or any thing, I should have but with those cute faces looking like they did such an amazing thing for me, well just call me  Jello... lol    So ladies that was my day, not a great way to start the week I must  say.

I hope that all my blogging friends in Texas are safe from the fires out there, my prayers are with them all.  

I  want to thank you all for you wonderful comments you have left. And for taking the time to visit me, I have met some new ladies this Pink Saturday, they are so sweet and kind, I love to meet new friends and their blogs. I have to admit that I have not been able to visit all who are in Pink Saturday, it has grown so much that it is so hard to keep up. So  sometimes I will start with the blogs that I have never seen or paid a visit too, there are so many great and wonderful blogs out there, that I am going nut's trying to keep up with my usual ones and then the new ones. So if I have not paid you a visit I am so sorry for that, it is not  done on purpose I a sure you.  So please bare with me I will make it to you ...  You all mean a great deal to me. and I treasure your friend ship very much...    Ok Ok not this getting really long, hope you stayed until the end.... lol

Until next time.   God Bless;
