Sorry, I have been gone for awhile. I lost myself in the blissful peace of those first few days of school. But just like Johnny..... I'M BACK!!!!!!

I totally "get" the look on this Mom's face. Can't you?? I mean it says - Hey, I have been drug this far so don't you start complaining too! I tell you what, I sure would not mess with her as long as she had that look and was holding that sharp looking scythe in her hands!!!!!

Guess what!?!?! It's that time of year again!!!! SCHOOL STARTS THIS WEEK!!!!!!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to add the picture of our impromptu dinner gathering!

Okay, so this wasn't it. But I swear it looked just like this! Except for us not having a willow tree in the front yard, or a white house, or candles, or much else like this... but I do have a big wooden table just like this!! And we did use it!

I forgot to take any pictures. Just use your imagination okay.

People have dreams. Everyone does. For me, it was to have a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. I always wanted to do a big holiday dinner outside in the fall. I doubt that will ever happen, so instead we are having a big ol' street party! I have been cooking all day, cherry pie, macaroni and cheese! I will post some pics later!

Did you just ever have one of "those" days??? Here I am all knackered on the couch. So many things to do and not a drop of energy to work with! Oh well, there is always tomorrow!!

My little shell birdbath.

I love my coral belles, and their singing friend.

This is my Happy Place!! I love to just sit on my porch. It is really peaceful there.

Some pictures of my front garden. (Cause the back is not worth looking at!!)

My Mary Garden. You can just see the top of her head in with the Salvia, or should we say Salve Regina!

Here is a visitor to my butterfly bush!

Sorry these pictures are not better, but I am photo-challenged! Aren't these cool! I found these in my favorite little antique place in Downtown Milford, Ohio. Both are very old Prayer-cards. The black and white one is in German. I wonder what it says...?

Ansel Adams eat your heart out! I was feeling a little "Artistic" today, though it would be fun to take a snap with my favorite purple ball. Don't I look good!?!

Now this is what's missing! I miss Ronald Reagan!
