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

 I'm thinking pink today!  I've heard that "  In the pink means good health,"  so, I'm thinking it's my favorite color now. I was not dressed in pink much as a little girl and I don't have much pink around, but my granddaughter's are all about pink, especially the two little ones.  I'm tickled that I'm am... In The Pink! Nana, I really know you love pink because I do!Yes, I do, sweetie pie...

These three are just as darling as the little ones!  Sniff, sniff...look at how old they are getting? But, not to worry, they still like to play games! Little and Big Sissy, you know, the itsy bitsy cousins that I've just blogged about.... They think these three hung the MOON! And they do! Aren't having older cousins the best thing ever???  Nana thinks so too! Wish I could freeze dry them-

These little gills should be tired! I snapped this photograph minutes before they were picked up by their mommy and daddy this morning to go to church, don't they look darling? You should see me, not so darling! Sleepover last night~ The best! Yes, in bed before way before 9:00 and that is late, four little eyes still wide awake at 10:45!

The Art of Finding Something to Wear... Do you often look in your closet and hear the coat hangers swish back and forth? (my husband can hear it from a mile away and seems to always ask, "what's wrong?" Grrr) Do you often find it a challenge to find something that fits perfect? Do you find that your clothes last longer than that youthful spirit you had when you bought them? Some garments keep

Happy New Year! Oh my!  It's about that time to say so long and farewell to 2011.It's so hard for me to believe that the year has  come and is almost gone. We had a wonderful and blessed year and I am ready to ring in  {{{{{{{{{2012}}}}}}}} (See my excitement?) It will be with horns, confetti and champagne... in my dreams~ Midnight? When's that? I've not seen that time in forever and a day!

For those who may have missed my guest post yesterday at A Stroll Thru Life, I thought I'd post it here as well...   Autumn is starting to come alive in our home... It's my little slice of the universe. It's where I do what I want, when I want and how I want! I relish changing things around and adding seasonal touches to our home.

 I decided that it was time for fall to touch our sunroom~  Shh, don't remind me that the high today is to be 98. Boo hiss Will just make it happen where and when I want... Humph.  When I first created the sun room, I chose brown as my main color. It really is nice for seasons.   Evening look~ I've always loved the warm colors of fall. I wanted to get some rhythm going.

This is another one of those wonders... Why am I crazed half the time? I was told that I have to slow down. How?  The older I get, the less time I seem to have... I talk to friends, they feel the same way. Humm... Time- All I know is that I never seem to have enough of it. No, it's not disorganization. Or is it?  I'll ponder that thought. I've learned something from the grandchildren- Just

Hello out yonder, again!  Warning, step in with caution- I said I was almost back and look at me now, with a post so long, you'll just want to sigh and hit delete! That is okay, quite acceptable and totally understandable!  This is my travel log that will be printed, as you know, I was a closet blogger, then was encouraged to come on out! I have to say, I am happy I did, so many wonderful

Hello out yonder~ My blog has been waiting patiently- blank slate and ready for me to write away. I'll back track a bit, remember the birds and their foul droppings?  Gone, poof. I know you've wondered all summer long, did that old plastic owl trick work? YES. Amazing thing, one cheap plastic owl. I've had a fabulous summer, fun family time, filled with joy, lots of giggles, and all that

I love birds and I think Woodpeckers are simply such impressive little birds. I was so excited when this little woodpecker showed up a couple of weekends ago at our front window, just knocking away. I truly thought someone was knocking at our door! My little friend keeps coming back! I'm thrilled that he's gets up so close and personal, I'm able to get some great photographs, well, I think they

Flowering annuals, perennials, bulbs, roses, ornamental grasses, shrubs and trees all bring me so much joy, I can hardly stand it! Blooming and fragrant ones, oh my, I just adore! I am totally captivated by a garden brim full with flowers! I love to plant, water, fertilize and just watch them grow! There's no place like being outside listening to the birds sing, walking around looking at all

Start self cleaning oven.  Go to Home Depo  (I really need some lantana and gardenia plants.) Get

Oh no, no, no.... Not the Vodka Cocktail or Hibiscus Tea, but my heavenly and gorgeous Hibiscus Flowers! They are a sight to see!  Each day, there are even more buds! Look at the frilly edges... Oh my, I can't believe it!  I  have had my plants for two years, first time that this particular hibiscus plant has bloomed! I'm elated~ They are just blooming profusely and are out of this world

For those of you that don't know, our daughter, husband and their three little ones were with us a short while until they moved into their new home last month. It's was fun time for us and a huge treat!   Our cutie pies~  The little ones kept our lives happy and bright each and every day! Thank goodness they live nearby now.

Good Morning out there! I'm sitting here having a cup of coffee. I'm sitting here reading your posts. I'm sitting here reading looking at a new book. It's called Organized Now~ I'm thinking I should be getting my home organized. I think about it daily often. While I was wondering around Home Depo looking for things that I really stuff needed...for the house, yard etc. I whirled around

To my amazement, these pots filled with different blooming plants just keep on giving and giving!  They have seen some rough days- They endured an 18-wheeler moving van ride all through Texas- They perked right up- Endured a couple of freezes all the while they were holed up in our cold garage- They perked right up after some tender loving care. Look at them now.... They are thriving - they are

It was a "Wow" moment when I first saw this guest bathroom. Get this-  The previous owner left these extraordinary treasures  in the home.   Can you believe? A MacKenzie - Childs Guest Bathroom!  It was probably the room that convinced me that we just had to have this house!  I know, funny, but true.  Yes, along with other wonderful things... but still...these one of a kind

I know you all have been blogging your hearts out, all the while I have been having fun with our three grandchildren and their parents-they have been visiting us from Atlanta for some time. They moved into their beautiful new home this past week and oh my, our home is so very quiet now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY Mr. M~ Mr. M. does not like his photograph taken.  I should say, he does not like to smile when he has a camera looking at him.  It really became very apparent when I went to look for one of him smiling. Why he dodges the camera is beyond me because he is... So handsome- So cute- So personable- So extraordinary- So special- So my husband! And he is 61 years old today

A couple of mornings ago and in our mild January weather, I found my hibiscus plant just blooming away! I decided to let you take a peek... I'm really thrilled! These are my very first hibiscus plants and they made the move quite well, even in a huge moving van. The movers were not too happy with moving the huge and heavy pots, but they did! I was happy. I am just so tickled to see all of

 There's no time for playing. We put our home on the market and it sold in 4 days. So, no time for blogging.  :( It's whirlwind time. No time to make costumes, I made this one for my little granddaughter a couple of years ago. I think she is the cutest little clown ever~ I'll be back soon~

I love old family photographs, this one is from my father's side of the family. I have this photograph sitting in a guest room and since this photograph was taken on a Sunday, decided I would share this one with you today. I cherish this photograph.

On of my favorite treasures is my Vintage Betty Crocker Cookbook, copyright 1959 by General Mills, Inc.  It's Betty's guide to "Easy Entertaining>" What fascinates me about this particular cookbook is the wonderful illustrations by Peter Spier and Betty Crocker's commanding advice~   Best Wishes for many relaxed hours of entertaining~

I just came in from watering my flowers, it's one of my favorite times of the day. This morning I took my trusty little camera with me. I was able to capture the grace of my hibiscus plant and the charm of each beautiful stage that it lovingly flaunts day after day. I love my garden. I love to wonder around in peace and quite. I love to take in the scent of the morning dew with only one sound,

Summer is almost gone and so it's gone in my home.  The only remnant of summer- central air. Since it's still summer weather here,  it's necessary to bring some of my old touches of fall back again. I need want that old fall feeling! Nothing really new, just rearranged and moved around. Ahh, the fun of re-arranging. Even if we don't have distinct changes in seasons, I create them in our home. I

Welcome to my new look! It has taken me only me a few  like forever hours.  I had so much fun creating this look, was not at all so not true stressful. You may notice some changes every now and then, I may have to tweak it from time to time. I am fascinated with the process and I want to keep on being blunder waiting to happen challenged. Well, on with my antique roadshow~ Hope you enjoy.

Yes! I love Spring and Summer, the flowers are stunning. I love their brilliant colors. But, I am ready for these warm colors...  In less than a month, Autumn will be here... -Yes, I'm from Texas. -It does arrive a bit later here. Okay, much later.  -Then sometimes, we might miss it entirely. -We have friends, they live so far north, they don't have much of a summer. I am sorry. -Move to

My first hibiscus bud~ I am beyond happy~ I am fascinated by the "Language of Flowers." Hibiscus  ~ Consumed by Love, Delicate Beauty~ Speak with finesse and bring the Language of Flowers into your day. Incidentally, when sending flowers to a loved one, be sure to include an accompanying card that explains their meaning! Have a wonderful day and be happy~

I am so very proud of my Bareuther Waldsassen Bavaria-Germany tea set, I have had it for many years. It's been tucked away in a china cabinet and decided that I should get it out and play! This German porcelain is from the first half of the 20th century. Each plate is hand painted and truly exquisite. They each have been painted with incredibly vibrant colors and each one highly detailed. The

Vintage...Antique or Just Old! Can you believe that my California Pottery is listed as "Vintage?" Surely I haven't had my favorite pottery that long. Good thing they don't call it junk.  I know that Vintage is not as old as "Antique", but still! Va-Vaaa Vintage? Makes me shudder to think it's that old...  I have been around a lot longer...yikes. Anyhow, here's a little Vintage "Pottery

Well, I woke up Sunday morning...(remember those lyrics?) thinking... about my garden one plant in a pot, shhh of herbs.  Since we have been away, I needed to check on the poor little plant that I knew would dead. Oh my gosh, it was not dead, it was thriving! Okay, to me, it was thriving, alive and green is good. There is just something about growing a plant from a seed.I mean, me growing

Nothing like the summer sky... I took my camera out last evening to catch the sun going down and I got the Moon! I am so very fascinated with Sun and the Moon! I love watching the sky, I marvel at the Moon and it's changes. Features of the Moon Perhaps the most prominent features of the Moon are its numerous craters. Its surface has been bombarded continually throughout its history.

He did get a tight grip on Fr. Tripp's vestments when he was bent over the font. Big Sister Ellie called it her brother's "Bathtism!" It was truly a blessed event, and he was so precious, a little angel! He's a cutie
