Thank You LillySue....
- I am not very good at this sort of thing!
- I am the youngest of 6 children and there are about 5 yrs between me and the next oldest...or would that be youngest?!
- I started dating my husband when I was 15 yrs old and we have been married 25 yrs! I was 25 yrs old when our first daughter was born, 27 yrs old when the second was born and 31 yrs old when the third came along. After being married about 4 1/2 yrs my mother-in-law gave me "permission" to have a baby (like I needed it, ha,ha,)!
- I cry everytime I hear the National Anthem and get the chills!
- I LOVE being at home!
- I don't make friends that easily! (Probably because I prefer being at home!)
- I LOVE SF Hazelnut Lattes'!
- I don't like to read "used" paperback books....weird, I know!
- I would love to have a PJ Day....but can't seem to let myself do that unless I am sick!
- I'm rarely sick!
I'm also supposed to pass this along to others. So, the following are blogs that I truly enjoy visiting everyday, if I can! I tried to make sure each were open to getting an award, so hopefully I didn't miss any "no award" signs. To these following ladies please let me know when you have posted. I would love to hear more about you! Some of you may have already received this award at some point, so I hope you don't mind getting it again! Thanks for sharing such lovely blogs....they all make my day alittle brighter!

My Pantry Re-Do....
Here it is done....I totally LOVE it!!!
My hubby added some lighting on a couple of shelves
and I want to get some fancy containers for a few of the
items. But all in all, I think it turned out pretty nice. Now this
has been here forever and it is quite large for a built-in pantry.
The exposed pipes were there and I think it adds a touch of
nostalgia. I found some of that gripper shelf lining in a complimentary color and it looks quite nice.
maybe it will make cooking a bit more fun for me!

We Had A Date Night....
It's the place my husband can unwind after a long week at work and
enjoy a Big Daddy size beer....I caught him off guard with this picture!
We both had the Patty Melt with swiss cheese and grilled onions
on rye. He had seasoned fries and I had....
5 of the BIGGEST ONION RINGS I have ever seen....
and they were so good with a seasoned dipping sauce. I had to share I couldn't eat them all! This place has some of the neatest signs and you all know I love my signs!! I think people thought we were alittle odd taking pictures....but Oh Well, we had FUN!! Some are alittle blurry, but you get the idea!
It's hard to take a picture pointed up over peoples heads
Ha, Ha, Ha

I Went Thrifting....
it has this adorable saying and Easter basket.
I paid $2.00!!!!
I also found this antique postcard hanging surrounded with
antiqued tin in a sagey green....also $2.00!!!!
I wanted something different to try and force a bulb to bloom for my kitchen and I found this.... for a $1.50!!!! It says it is from West Germany!
say on a sign somewhere that can be changed. So, I took the liberty of going thru them and picking out what I wanted and hoping they would sell me just a few. They did.....for $2.00, I have a few ideas for these when I decide which to do I will show you. It was fun just to be able to take my time and roam thru this 3 story building.
Usually, I am with somebody and I feel more rushed....not today!

Letting Go....
So, yesterday I finally got my new BH & Gardens replacement issue for the NO LONGER....Country Home magazine! I decided to enjoy it with my morning coffee and a blueberry turnover I purchased at the bakery! It is a really nice issue and I have high hopes for the issues to come. I did notice also this morning that Wal-Mart has a commercial out that starts with women looking at BH & Garden magazines. How creative to market their magazines thru the commericals for Wal-Mart! It makes me want to go there now and see what they have for my home. Maybe I will do that to take my mind off of my baby/grown-up daughter being soo far from home! I hope she enjoys her trip and makes some happy memories with her friends....
I'm just not used to letting go!!
