Girls Get Away

 Hey Friends!

I'm leaving on a "Girls Get Away" with my two childhood friends.

To the Amish Country in Lancaster.

For shopping, laughter and a whole lot of new memories.

I am forgetting all about the no sugar and bread thing too.

( I need a whooooopie pie bad )

We have been doing this for at least 15 years maybe more.

My baby was 4 when we started going up there for the weekend and he is now 20.

How times just flies ...

Anyway

Gone Shopping not FISHING!
My red shoes for Linda. :)

See you Sunday.


WOOLIE LOVE & JOY!

Woolie Wednesday

 Good Woolie Wednesday Friends!

I have been stitching away making this little hand tied baby quilt.

A friend of my Cole's friend had a baby very early. Her name is Leigha.

 She asked me if I could make her a baby blanket.

I then appliqued one of my woolie bunnies on the end.

I put extra thick fluff inside.

And stitched it all up with pink thread.

 Please keep precious Leigha in your prayers.

And also my little cousin Brycen. He was hospitalized yesterday.

Bless our precious little ones from the top of their heads to the bottom of their toes.

Here is the new treasure I found at the Goodwill. 

 I just loved the sweet boy , his pup and his dapper top hat.

I brought it home and gave it a good scrub.

It had a little water damage but it goes great upstairs in the Sisters room with a old quilt on the bed.

So no friends it wasn't a new chicken, wool or ginger man.

Just a old picture that made me smile

WOOLIE LOVE & JOY!

I give you thanks O LORD, with my whole heart!

Psalm 138:1

Dishes

 Morning Friends!

I have a little love for dishes.

Normally little desert dishes.

I especially love red and white transfer-ware.

But lately I've been adding in some blue and white.

I found these Sunday on my road trip.

Yesterday I went down to Maryland.

 I met my Aunt's and Cousin Lena.

We went to a couple of thrift stores and to lunch.

I had a yummy crab salad and cup of cream of crab soup.

Delicious!!

Oh how we laughed and had a wonderful time.

Guess what new treasure I found?

Woolie Love & Joy

A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick.

A Very Cool Gift

 Good Monday Morning!

How was your weekend? 

Mine was a very good one spent with my Papa John.

He just got a new truck so we took a few road trips.

To East Earl, Blue Ball and The Gap.

We even walked through a old Amish Barn in search of some old barn wood.

It was alot of fun.

I really wanted to take a picture but I didn't want to offend the kind Amish lady who was letting

us look in her barn and walk around her farm.

Saturday afternoon Lapoookie came up for a visit.

 She had a birthday present for me.

Its a calender she made for me with lots of pictures from my blog.

I just love it.

 She put alot of time and energy into it.

Here is Ne (my treasure) and Me .

We are in Kentucky in front of Black Mountain.

What a wonderful treasured memory for me.

Adorable photos of my granny kids and me.

Yes that blond one down in the corner was me..OH NO!!

Its a old one.

 Here are more of my precious grannies and my daughters Nicole and Alicia.

Ooops can't forget Bran up in the corner.

I so love the one of Bug and BJ picking strawberries.

They picked those for me and I made jam with them.

The top photo is my three babies. Jay, Nicole and Alicia.

 I just love this gift filled with such treasured memories of my sweeties.

The one on the bottom right is our Lapoookie.

Just pages and pages of Love!

Thank you Sweet Lapoookie for all the time and love you put into this.

 I just love it and I will treasure it.

Woolie Love & Joyful Memories

As for Me and My House we will serve The Lord

Smells Like Spring

Good Sunday Morning!

My dear neighbor gave me this hyacinth for my birthday.

It surely smells like Spring here in my home this morning.

'For behold, the winter is past,  

The rain is over and gone.  

 'The flowers have already appeared in the land;  

The time has arrived for pruning the vines,  

And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.  

 'The fig tree has ripened its figs,  

And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.  

Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,  

And come along!' " 

Song 2:11-13

Sunday Love & JOY!

Planting Time

 Good Friday Morning!

Guess what I've been doing?

Planting seeds and preparing for SPRING!

Yes Spring is on it's way.

Time to GROW!

It's so exciting.

 The corn seeds are Papa John's. He will sow those directly in the ground.

I planted cukes, squash, tomatoes, peppers and some lavender so far.

A few years ago Papa John bought me one of those wire greenhouses to put my flats in.

I'm gonna set it up in the upstairs guest room. 

The sun shines very bright in that window.

Does anyone else start their veggies from seeds?

These little sprouts are hollyhocks from my sweet friend Lea.

Plant seeds of Kindness

Do not wait for others to be kind,show them how.

YOU GROW GIRL!

Psalm 126:6

He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of JOY,

bringing his sheaves home with him.
