Love Bunny's Organizing

Enjoy the eye candy here because it gets ugly from here on out.

This is Love Bunny's side of our bedroom armoire.

This is my side of our armoire. Not as neat, but not bad really.

Did you happen to notice in the first photo that his is organized and labeled? Yessssss, labeled. Check closely the red Dyno Labels on each shelf.

Now, I wondered why he did that, and he never really answered my question. But he thought it would make it easier for me. What?! I'm still trying to figure out the drawers for socks. One drawer is for brown; one drawer is for black; one drawer is for blue. So, where do I put the gray and pink socks? *Sigh*…

Chandeliers - because every life should have a little sparkle.

Today at lunch time:

He: You have your t-shirt on wrong side out.

She: Why didn't you tell me earlier?

He: I guess I didn't notice til now.

She: Sigh... Does he look at me at all before noon?

One thing I love about people is their ability to be lifted so high by the smallest drafts of hope.

The flavor of the peel does not reliably predict the taste of the pulp.

Hubs is lucky I even get the shirts in the armoire!

And More Red!

Another reminder to enter my Cottage Charm Giveaway on my 5/1 blog post. You could win some of these. I just loved this shot when I took it out on our back patio through this iron trellis.

And again, more RED for you.

Isn't this porch adorable and quaint?

The colors of patriotism! Red, white and blue.

Most unusual house in Turkey where my daughter visited recently. It looks like clay stone painted red. Very colorful.

Ohhhhhh, be still my heart! I could live in this little cottage.

I have no clue where this has is but it looks like somewhere on the East Coast. I think it's lovely.

Too many stairs for this ol' lady.

Mother's Day Gifts

As some of you may know I've been down in California since last week visiting with kids and grandkids. I prescheduled posts so I could have a break but I wanted to tell you about my mother's day gift. Now, as I've said before, there are some things in my life I've wanted to do for some time. Oh, not terribly exciting things like skydiving or bungee jumping...screeeeeeam...my heart couldn't do that...but just something I thought would be fun.

We went to San Diego saturday to check out our grandson's college—UCSD—and while there we went to MCRD, which is Marine Corps Recruit Depot. We lived there in the early 60s while Jack was on the drill field there, so it had been a long time since we'd seen it. We actually lived across the street and up a hill a bit from it. WOW!!! Has it changed! But my son and daughter-in-law bought me a bottle of Juicy Couture Perfume at the PX there and that stuff is NOT cheap, trust me, even there. Then when we got home my daughter-in-law told me about their WM having a spa. Well, without further chatter, let me show you the pix.



That's right. Eyelashes. Not false ones but extensions that are glued on. My DIL took me to WM and in about 1/2 hour I had eyelash extensions. And, yes, I photoshopped the photos because I had absolutely no makeup on at the time and I looked horrid. I wanted a clean face to begin with. I did only my skin. The eyes are real and not photoshopped.

Mother's Day Tea Party

Welcome to the tea party hosted by Cielo at The House In The Roses. Visit her to see all the participants.

I've set the table for you and we can chat for awhile. Put your feet up and relax by my bay window.

As dusk settles in we can light a candle to set our intimate mood. Cake with strawberries is awaiting on the shelf in the background.

Only beautiful roses china for my best friends.

My petite teapot looks like the roses in my garden.

Would you care for these exquisite little sugar cubes in your tea?

Next time we'll have to have our tea in the garden.
