It's a PINK Birthday Party ...

Pink Saturday, created and hosted by the  special Ms. Beverly  is celebrating it's FOURTH birthday !   Sometimes I am late to the party, and sometimes my schedule doesn't allow me to make it at all BUT I just couldn't miss saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! to Beverly and ALL the fabulous Pink Saturday participants.

 I know there will be LOTS of cake and surprises so please stop by Beverly's  to wish her a very happy Pink Saturday Birthday and to visit all the fabulous Pinky's .
   Thank you for your visit and I'm wishing you a very happy week end.

UH OH.....

Wellllll  hope ya'll had a very blessed Mother's Day... I truly did.  Got to be with ALL my babies.  They gave me a beautiful arrangement of yellow roses (my favorite) with iris as well as a few other goodies. 

The uh oh is because I seem to have mis-placed my camera.  Sigh.  I so need a keeper !  My Sweetie has promised that if we win the lottery he will get me my very own Raul to make sure I don't lose anything, get to where I'm going and generally keep it together.  Thank you Sweetie (())


When I went to Texas for the Beauty In Blue event, hosted by Karen Hillman, I was delighted to learn that Kaufman, Texas was nearby.  My Greatgrandparents met and married in Kaufman so I had to go for a visit.    My first stop was this delightful Tea Room, Especially for You.
 Not only was the food delicious but the owner and staff are delightful !  Lori McWha was so charming, funny and gracious, I am definitely planning a return visit.     Inside you will find sweet little nooks to enjoy your meal in as well as a trove of treasures to purchase.   This was a very special extra treat !

 ... look look it's meeee in a bluebonnet field, photo taken by the incredibly beautiful and talented Karen Hillman. Thank you Karen for making me look so purty. (())

Did you know that Bluebonnets can also be PINK???     Awww come on, you knew I'd have pink here somewhere !   For more awesome pinks visit     Beverly at How Sweet the Sound   this Saturday for links to some wonderful pink loving bloggers.

Thank you for your visit, thank you for your sweet comments I really do appreciate the time you take.  Hope to visit you this Saturday or sooner (())

Sharing some finds for Pink Saturday...

 Hope you will have a wonderful week-end !

A little while back I was blessed to spend some time with the precious, beautiful, funny AND smart Shelley-Belle in Eufaula, Al.   We had a great time and did a bit of shopping. 

This lovely lady is painted on fabric...no signature and am wondering if any of you have seen something similar and/or if you have any information you can share.

 LOVE this sewing basket.  Yellow is one of my favorite colors and this baby is in very good condition.

...and here is a wreath I put together using a few of the doilies found in Canton, Tx. along with other bits and bobs.

 Stop by Beverly's to visit more pink !

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your sweeeet comments.   (())

Pink Saturday .. .Come for Tea !

Happy Pink Saturday !




  Come to tea and I'll serve tea and petit fours on my "new" old tea set.
There are only 5 cups, but six saucers and dessert plates.
There are two little pitchers, one a creamer and I believe the other is for hot water for those who prefer weaker tea.

To see more wonderful pink, visit  Beverly at   How Sweet the Sound.   

"A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water."   Eleanor Roosevelt

What do you think about the "new" blogger interface? do you like it ? 

I'll tell you true I do NOT.  Just like Yahoo they took something good and easy and have made it a mess...well that is just my little ole humble opinion. :)

Thank you for your visit and your sweet comment...


                                                                     Ya'll beee sweet and come back now !

Pink this week is .....pink and blue

When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.....

This is a cute poem

When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid,
And bring so much happiness just as they did.
I want to pay back all the joy they've provided.
Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited!
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.

I'll write on the walls with reds, whites and blues,
And I'll bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes.
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout!
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.

When they're on the phone and just out of reach,
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head,
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.

When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat,
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry I'll run if I'm able!
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.

I'll sit close to the TV, through channels I'll click,
I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick.
I'll take off my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud 'til the end of the day!
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.

And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,
I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,
And say with a groan, "She's so sweet when she's sleeping!"

it inspired me to write my own:

When I live with my kids, as an old lady ya know

I'll sit drinking wine and smoking doobies to show

How progressive and liberal their Mum has become.

They'll be so proud and say "YUP that's OUR Mum"

I'm sure they will because when they were teens

they'd yell out so often I was old fashioned and mean. 

I'll play rock oldies so loud the walls shake and when they complain I'll yell "give me a break ! "

I'll wear crazy clothes from my old Hippy days and flirt with each fella that passes my way.

I'll get some tatoos in strategic places... Pierce my brows and my lips...

Can't you just see their faces? 

I'll stay out so late THEY'LL stay up and worry

then when I get home ask them "Why should I hurry?"

When I live with my kids as an old lady ya know

 I'll sit drinking wine, smoking doobies to show

 How progressive and liberal their Mum has become.

 Then if they scold me for things that I've done

 I'll smile and say "hey don't ruin MY fun" 

and if they continue to chide me and moan 

my eyes I'll roll and yell PUHLEEZE just LEAVE ME alone !

When I live with my kids as an old lady ya know

It will bring back fond memories of so long ago.

I'll sit drinking wine, smoking doobies to show

How progressive and liberal their Mum has become!

Easter and PassOver Blessings

May His grace, beauty and blessings surround you and yours this Easter / PassOver and always.

We are doing two swaps, one a shoe.    I've got a fairly good start on that.
