Fairytale Wedding...

It seems the romantics of the world are abuzz with anticipation of the upcoming Royal Wedding. T-Mobile  shares their version of the grand event (sure to put a smile on your face).

Dear Mother Nature...

Far be it from me to tell you how to do your job, but...could you PUHLEEEEASE give South Texas a break from this wind!!! The poor flora, recently adorned in its spring finest, is taking a beating.  I was amazed to find a few flowers still intact in the backyard.

My husband and I enjoyed a relaxed weekend. I was very domestic Sunday and 

FINALLY got a few of the Easter decorations displayed...

and...

                                                

...baked some cookies. The trade off for trying something new (Soft and Chewy Molasses cookies), is to also bake something tried and true (good old Chocolate Chip cookies).

Wishing y'all a blessed week!

L'Abeille...can you BEElieve it?

Found this little lamp with a burlap L'Abeille lampshade at Tuesday Morning...I couldn't BEElieve my luck! 

Managed to get my St. Patty's decorations packed up this evening...Easter decorating begins tomorrow! 

My hubby has an out-of-town game (Go Hornets!)...so I'll relax with a nice glass of wine (or two), a good movie and wait up to hear how the game went (hopefully it'll be good news). 

Enjoy your weekend!

Welcome Gnome!

Happy weekend all! 

Mine's off to a wonderful start...talked with my daughter by phone this morning with the precious sound of my infant grandson "speaking baby" in the background. 

My son is visiting from Houston...fixed him a late breakfast after which he and his dad hit the living room for a snooze (one of their favorite pastimes).

I put together a quick spring wreath of lovely yellows and chartreuse greens...such happy colors!

Here's a few photos of early spring visitors at my home...

Enjoy your weekend...let those you love, know you love them!!

A groupie...who me?!!!

I had one of those "Aha" moments when walking into my house this evening. You see, to feel complete, I must have art (in various forms) on my walls. In fact, that's somewhat of a standing joke in my family...as in, hanging artwork is the first thing I do when moving (not true, but I do begin visualizing). Well, it seems I'm also somewhat of a groupie...not in the sense you're probably thinking, but as in "decor grouping, groupie". 

I could keep the photos coming, but you get the jest. I included the photo to your left as proof I do have at least one "single" hanging :)) (yes, I still have my St. Patty's decorations out...I just love the little green guys and hang on to them through the month of March). Hmmmmm, decor grouping, Groupie...guess there could be worse things!

Hope the week is treating you well...staff safe,
Along the way!!

`Nuff said...

Sometimes short and sweet is the way to go. Thought this was appropriate for the weekend preceding the first day of spring and reflects what many of us will be doing this weekend. So speaking from a "PG" rating frame of mind...

Go get dirty!!!  ;) 

Stay Strong...

Glimpses of  the devastation resulting from the earthquake and Tsunami are hard to comprehend. Please pray for the people of Japan and all others effected by this disaster. May God also protect and grant strength to those involved in relief efforts.

Be not afraid of misfortune. When God causes a tree to be hewn down He takes care that His birds can nestle on another.   ~ Anonymous

You Go Fortune Cookie!!!

For dinner yesterday evening, my hubby and I stopped at a new Asian Bistro for take-out, complete with fortune cookies for dessert. We both were extremely hungry and ate WAY too much. Hours later after we began recovering from our food stupor, I decided it was time for the fortune cookies. When it's just the two of us, I never feel right about picking the first fortune cookie, so my husband chose his and I proceeded to snap mine open in search of the fortune. I got such a kick out of the fortune that I just had to share it with you...it read, 

"A woman who seeks to be equal with men lacks ambition. Ouch!!!!" 

Something tells me this particular fortune WAS NOT written by anyone of the male persuasion. You go feminist fortune writing girl, whoever and wherever you are!
