Who knew I could take a photograph of this incredible piece of art! Photography is allowed without a flash in the... Musée du Louvre I stood there in total awe... I had always wanted to see this mysterious painting that I had heard about all of my life. I've always been fascinated with the mystery of the Mona Lisa. There are so many theories surrounding her that no

Okay, you know that feeling of being so excited, proud, happy that you can hardly stand it? That is how I felt when our little star stepped on stage!  Our little sweetheart danced her heart out and stole the show! (Nana thinks so!)   Of course, no camera's while on stage... Photo shoot for the program! Showcase Dances were Shake Your Feathers and Talk About It~

Okay, I  had to do something to my utility/laundry room... Because it is my office too!  STARK WHITE White is great for a laundry room. Looking at the washer and dryer was not very pleasing.

Well... Y'all should have been here for this dinner! There were only four of us and I must say, we had plenty to eat. Mr. Sweetie always cooks for an army.  He is not that crazy about leftovers unless it's steak. (But sweetie there are only four of us, why do we need 12 pounds of beef?) I got it!  Here is Mr. Sweetie and he is as happy as a lark. His fun is about to begin

Remember these?  These are the prints that I bought at Tuesday Morning. I also mentioned that I was putting them up in one of the guest bedrooms. It's the room where the  "Gills" (not girls) and grands sleep when they come for sleepovers! Here they are and below them you'll see them up on the wall~   Here they are! Here's the Jack and Jill bath...

Hello dear bloggers!  I think I'm out of  my big stinking rut!  I'm ready to start to blog again! Hooray...Whew! The time recovering from my "pacemaker implant" took me longer than I imagined it would.   I'll admit, it sort of knocked me into a big funk. That older than dirt feeling at 59!  Have you ever felt that way? Hope not. I'm thankful that painful and down feeling passed..

I just had to share my great finds! Four of them! I've been looking for prints for one of our guest rooms for such a long time.   I'll hang them in the "Gills" room. Granddaughter says, the room is just for "Gills!" I am crazy about all of the little precious details in these prints! Isn't this the sweetest? Love the little striped dress and blue pinafore! Crazy about this little pink and

  This is my Crewel Embroidery project that I created back in the early 70's.    It was my artsy crafty time...now I blog~  My mother and grandmother have made so many wonderful crewel projects. It was watching them make their beautiful projects that sparked an interest in me to try it this form of art. I can say, I was into all sorts crafts years ago.  Remember when macrame was the thing?

Today, we will tune in for the last round at Pebble Beach for the National Pro-Am. What a treat! Our times playing golf at Pebble Beach makes this golf tournament extra special. We can talk about our memories, our incredible times and our shots, good and bad! Remembering the times on the first hole and all the while, I was praying, don't really know if my husband was, probably not! I was always

This morning I was up very early, don't ask! Yes,  Dark Thirty! Anyhoo, head was fuzzy, but I did remember that it was Thursday. I thought to myself, oh my, today is Susan's Tablescape Party. I've had to decline her invitation way to many times. So, I hurried and scurried about... another cuppa was necessary. Still no theme came to mind. I just starting pulling dishes out of the cabinets!

I love to knit~ My youngest daughter and I learned how to knit together about seven years ago and we had such fun. Went out and bought the essentials, a book, some sticks/needles and some yarn.  We were excited and ready to knit! If I remember correctly, I read the instructions and she stitched, then I watched her, very intently and tried to do the same thing... Oh, so thankful she is patient.

I took a stroll outside yesterday morning (cabin fever was setting in!) and had a satisfying little visit with my quiet friends...the sweet floral kind. They are true blue! Here they are blooming for me and making me smile. They make me proud... I'll be happy when spring comes along, that is when "all" of my quiet friends come out to see me. They are so very loyal...love it.  Nothing
