The Old Wooden Bowl

I found this old wooden bowl years ago at the thrift store and I have used it as a center piece on my kitchen table ever since. There is absolutely nothing special about it and I have so many nicer ones than this, but I love it for some odd reason. It's one of those Simple Pleasures! Did you ever come across something that you loved like that? Here she is dressed in some of her finest. lol

Happy Mothers Day Ladies ...

Today is the most important day of the year to me! Not because we are all to be honored as Mothers, but because I am so truly honored, grateful and blessed to be a mother. Anthony is my life... he has grown to be such a wonderful man. He has given me unconditional love, support and respect. He lives each day with excellent morals and values. He has never been in trouble, tried drugs, smoked cigarettes or drank. He lives each day enthusiastically and always finds the positive in every situation. He works hard and is extremely responsible. He has the most wonderful girlfriend who I love and am thankful will someday be my daughter in law. He is so much more than I ever dreamed he would be! I will always be grateful to his father for giving me the most precious gift, my heart, my soul, my Anthony!

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there and to my mother, who I love soooo much!

50th Anniversary and Homemade Pillow

My friend and her husband will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year! They are the nicest couple of people you'd ever want to meet. June had asked me if I would make her a country throw pillow stitched with their names and wedding year on it and I was happy to oblige. I wanted to show it to you and take a moment to tell them both how much they mean to me and Nico.

The cutest couple ever!

Larry and Nico

June and Nico

Me and June having a little shopping fun!

They say a dog is a good judge of character and Nico adores them both. He probably spends as much time with them as he does with me. He spends 3 days a week with June while I work and we just open our doors and he runs from my house to there's because were next door neighbors. When June is visiting and gets ready to leave he cries and cries for her and  follows Larry around like his shadow. We are truly blessed to have them in our lives. Happy Anniversary you guys!
