Rabbit, Rabbit

Did anyone ever tell you that on the first day of a new month

when you jump out of bed you should say

"Rabbit, Rabbit" ?

Today is June 1, 2012.

Can you believe it?  I can't.  As always I forgot to say it.

But  I did after I got up.  

So... if saying it will bring you GOOD LUCK.

Will forgetting to say it bring BAD LUCK?

I think NOT!

Jo Ann fabric is having a 50% off all scrapbook

supplies.  I stopped yesterday and got more then

I should have.  oops.  But I started playing with it last

night.  I see many things coming out of my 

new stash.   Can't wait to get back to playing

with it.

I will show my stash soon.

Have a lovely 1st day of June. 

 My Mother turns

80 on the 23rd of this month.  I've got to throw her

a bang up party.  She doesn't want a big

shin dig.  So all the bling with just Family.

God Bless.

 ~~Memory of a Friend ~~

On this Memorial day of 2012 I not only remember those who have fought in the wars to keep the USA free but a dear friend who passed away 2 months ago.  Even though she was 77 years old, she was a young 77.  

It just happened one night.  Not feeling her best with a cold she was trying to shake for a few weeks. Her daughter spent time with her the night before she passed.  Not know this would be her last time to embrace and kiss her goodnight.

She was a dear friend to us all.  The last time I spent time with her I told her how much of a good friend she was to me.

She had just picked out a new bedspread and some lovely pillows to match.


We would spend many hours at this table talking about all kinds things.  Kids, Grand kids, Shopping, Cooking and my Crafting.

Now the table is set for one.

Her husband has taken it very hard.  Not very verbal about his loss, but you can tell by the words he doesn't say.
She was always there through the good and bad.  Doing for them all she could do.  Now he is finding out what a help she was.


Don't wait till it is too late to appreciate your partner.  Make each other aware of your love.  Thank God each morning for another day to mirror His Grace and Love.

I've always Loved this Angel.
And now it represents Her new life with her God and Mine. 

We Will Meet Again.
We Love and Miss You!

Diary...Journal and now Blogging.

Diary...Journal and now Blogging.

A brief account of  daily Events. Ideas. Transactions used for private use.

 A RECORD OF EXPERIENCES.

What do you call your writings?  An outlet?  A way of making new friends? Sharing new and great ideas?

Whatever you call it, we all come for one reason or another.

I find it enjoyable.  Reading that favorite book.  Again with a new twist.  

I started to read blogs to catch up on the newest stamps and ideas for card making.  Then one thing led to another.  Houses, crafts, gardening,

dogs and more.  But now I am finding a friendship in the 

people that I read about.  They don't know me unless I write

then a note.  Some I do and some I don't.  Why I ask myself.

I don't know.  If I like what I am reading I should say so.

This will be my new goal.  Let you know I was here.

On a funny note.

This last fall my youngest Grandson was playing in the leafs.

He has to have a train or car in his hands.  ALWAYS.

He discovered how much fun it was to play outside on a 

cool fall day in Indiana.

We have a strange yard that allows toad stools to grow

in both spring and fall.

I bet this is the first time Thomas and Friends have been

on a trip to the magic land of toad stools.

 Leaving you for slumber land.  So I can get up and do it all

over again.

Love and Blessings

Teresa.

Thought for the day.....

LET GO OF WHAT

YOU CAN'T CONTROL.

CHANNEL ALL THAT ENERGY INTO

LIVING FULLY IN THE NOW.

Mother's Day Brunch filled with Love

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

I have 3 beautiful daughters.  One lives out of town, one in town and one still lives at home with us.  I have decided to have a

 Mother's Day Brunch

with those that can come.  Along with my 

Lovely Mother that will turn 80

this summer.  For us it will be a great

time, an a Kodak moment. 

Mom and I were shopping last week and we

had the same thought. Which often happens.

We got each other roses.

Below is a Knock Out Rose bush from my Hubby.

 

 

A few of my friends have these and are always beautiful.

Full of blooms all rear.

Looks like I should have rotated pictures before I added them.

Just another thing I need to learn about all this blogging.

Many Blessings and much Love  to all you Mothers out there.

Thank you for your visit.

Saving the Flowers.

My oldest daughter is starting a new life.  She and her hubby are going their separate way.  She is moving into an apartment in 15 days.  We went to visit her today and I was told to dig up whatever I wanted.  She has 3 beautiful rose plants that are 6 ft tall.  She didn't do anything to them over the winter.  In Indiana we can have very cold and windy winters.  Hers have more blooms on them now then I think I have all summer.
I wanted to dig them up but thought it would be the death of me before the task was done.  So I took some cuttings.  Three from each.  I have pictures on my phone but don't know how to share them.  I'm such a techno geek.  I have so much to plant and I haven't even cleaned out my beds yet.

Maybe someone will show me how to post the pics and I will share with you.  So much I need to learn to make this blog what I want.

Have a great week.
Teresa

SPRING

What a beautiful day today.  The temps will be up to 69 or so.  It's so warm I 

decided to hang out some of my laundry. 

 No we don't have this much grass.  This Pic is from last year.  I can smell the fresh air

and feel the warm sun.

 The smell of clothes drying outside can give you the best sleep ever. 

Last summer I lost a rose bush over the winter.  But I worked with it and 

put it in a pot to look after.  Believe it or not It did make it.  I don't have good luck

with roses.  :(

Don't know how it will turn out this spring. The first year it was tall and had 

several blooms.  I had 3 really good bloomers in 2010.  It's sad to see them 

not make it.  I just don't know.  We did have a really bad winter in 2010.

This last winter was so very mild.  Maybe I'll be surprised.

Love to all you rose growers.  Hope to have better luck this year.

God Bless and send sunshine to all.

FEBRUARY 14, 2012

Forty one  years ago I was just a young girl of 17.  Getting ready to merry the love of my life.  He was kind of a "bad boy".  And I liked that.  But I was never one to go outside of the lines.  Color inside the lines.  We had our first date that evening.  Went to a car show with a friend.  We saw him there and hung out the whole evening.  It's all history now.

For the first time in our "history" I don't care about a card or gift.
Things have been rough money wise.  With the economy as it is we are thankful we have jobs.  He thanks God every day as he drives 50 miles to and from work.  To me that is my card of LOVE.  Why would he do this if he didn't love me and our growing family?

To me every day is Valentines Day.
