I'm Alive!

 

I want to thank you all,

for your prayers

and kind thoughts.

It took awhile to get

my lungs cleared

and I still have a dry cough,

but I'm feeling sooooo

much better. 

Good enough to

bake a birthday cake

for a dear friend.

My garden is finally 

starting to grow

and I'm looking forward

to veggies soon.

Again thank you

for your prayers.

I felt the love as

I read each lovely comment.

♥️

God bless you all.

Your blogging sister,

Flowers and Birthdays

 

Hello Dear Friends

It's been a very busy

few weeks . . .

Lots of gardening, home repair,

great times with friends & family

and one birthday after another.

I've been picking and enjoying

cut flowers from the garden.

The greenery in this bouquet

is Dill Weed and Carrot Stems. 

These lovely Dahlias

are not from my garden,

but a gift from a dear friend

from her garden,

for my birthday. 

These beautiful cards are just 

some of what I received.

See the one with my glorious age

on it . . . that one is handmade

by Connie at Connie's Crafty Creations 

https://conniescraftycreations.blogspot.com/

She makes lovely handmade greeting cards.

These two cakes I baked for 

friend's having birthdays . . .

And this was my 

Birthday Day cake made by my 

Sweet Sister-In-Law.

She knew that I couldn't eat

cake . . .I can bake them,

but not eat them, LOL.

It was beautiful

and very delicious :)

To change the subject . . .

I had this idea "💡"

I made a selfie video on 

my android phone 

and tried to download it

to put into this post.

I'm at a lost when it comes

to technology.

Do any of you know how to do this?

I sure could use some help 🫤

That's my post,

Thanks so much for visiting.

God bless you all.

I'll be looking forward 

to reading your comments.  

Keep Smiling,

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

Some Days

  

Some days you've got to do

things you don't want to do,

like take a bath!

Hang out the wash.

Pull weeds and harvest.

But when the work is done,

it feels so good,

and you can kick back and relax.

That's when you have time to 

enjoy your surrounding

and the fruit of your labor.

Even take a nap 🐶😁🐶

Then there are days when 

you have to face the fact 

that your Kayaking days are over.

And sell it 😢

My 80th birthday is 

right around the corner.

I know that I could get in it,

paddle around for an hour or two,

but on the return . . .

I might have a terrible time

getting out of it.

Let's face it, there are days

when getting out of my 

easy chair is hard, LOL.

Thank you all for stopping by

have a wonderful week.

&

God bless you

Flowers, Scarecrow and Yard Sale Finds

 

Hello Dear Friends

&

Welcome to my garden :)

Some of the morning glories 

are starting to bloom. 

As well as other flowers

and the blackberries 😁

🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸

This year I made 

a new scarecrow. 

Starting with a chair,

a wig head form,

and a pool-doodle. 

 

Last week there was a

 neighborhood yard sale

just a 1/2 mile from where

I live and I found two

outstanding finds.

First this pretty wooden

wall plaque.

I added it to my headboard.

  

$1

Then this used once and didn't

like rice cooker with a steamer

basket. 

I love it!!!

$2.50

🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸

Well, that's my post for today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I wish there was a way 

to have a glass of lemonade

and a dish of cookies

to share when you visited.

🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸

God bless you all!

Girls Just Want To Have Fun!

 

I just came in from 

opening the gate . . .

I'm expecting friends to drop in,

in about half an hour.

While outside, I checked the 

mailbox and took a few

snapshots.

We are getting together this 

afternoon to play dominos.

Sometimes girls just 

want to have fun 😁

God bless you all,
