A NEW NORMAL

Spending more time at home, I'm changing things a little bit here and there.  I added a few more lids. And Maurice took out the wall a/c unit that we haven't used for years and I added a picture.

Spring touches on table and chandelier. Tasha got in the picture too!.

Something happened to my chip and I can't turn the pictures now! I guess you will have to turn your computer or phone. Sorry! The new Normal is more reading by the stove.

More Painting!

And More Computer Time!

I did have a project this week. To clean the accumulation of "must keep" things off the enclosed porch. As you can see, most were not "must keep" any more!

I cleaned as I went along so now we are ready for "porch sitting" too!

I not only have a "Blue Bottle Garden" but porch too! As you can tell it was a rainy day!

Sorry!  Normally I have pansy's planted in all the containers by now. But the quarantine has changed a lot of things!

My precious "Mom's Cottage" up the drive from the house sits so lonely! Makes me sad! The floor is giving out so I can't go in, and the garden has poison ivy which I am terrible allergic to so I can't even weed it! But I walk up and enjoy the spring flowers and give it love talk about daily.

Spring on the Seasonal Kitchen Shelf

On the kitchen table

And a little Love Gift!

We were able to go to The Dinner Theater before the Quarantine.

So glad sister Judy is able to go with us too! Praying for all my family and friends during these scary times. But I know who is in control Right! God Bless Us all!

SLEEP UNDER THE STARS!

Just finished Susan Branch's book below and one of her comments struck a chord with me!  "Twinkle lights look good everywhere, year round. Sleep Under The Stars! 
I just loved her handwritten book!!!  So I  got on Amazon and ordered  her fist two books in this series: "The Fairy Tale Girl" and "Martha's Vineyard Isle of Dreams"

Our 65th Engagement Anniversary picture  taken at Church

Been wanted to cut out and paint these Three Little Kittens for some time, so just stopped and did it!! Each one has their own personality!

This is where they ended up!

We were invited to our neighbors 75th Surprise Birthday Party so wanted to take something!

I should have extended the roof  line in the painting  on both sides, But I didn't!


One of my Facebook friends displayed this book and I thought I need to read that! So went to Amazon again! I start it tonight!

I received a delightful surprise gift and letter from a longtime Blog and Facebook friend Susan Gannon. This made me So Happy!

The darling little girl cross-stitched pillow in my favorite colors is being displaying on my Spring  Pool Table Display. The Miss Read Books are favorites of ours! So was so delighted to get this one! I will start reading it very soon!

We went to Longhorn Steak House for our 65th Engagement Lunch! Yum Yum!

I love Blue & White in the Kitchen! Maurice got me this Canister Set years ago for Christmas.

Enjoyed having my Sorority Sisters at our home for potluck and special program on Hydrocephalus by special friend Robin Xanders Holloway.

We have a neat Western Wear Store in Harrisonville "Family Center". They have a large selection of boots, worthy of a picture I thought!

Isn't that Turquoise one neat?

And Chartreuse!

Aren't these the cutest?

Husband Maurice gave me a Chiefs Super Bowl Championship Flag for my Birthday. It looks so pretty flying out there!  Hopefully I'll get a championship Royals Baseball one this summer too! Hope you are enjoying your days too!
