Tidbits From the Week

For starters, this is what I get when I go to my computer to start blogging. My cute Snickers.

 

Here she is again, watching the birds out the kitchen window. I put up a new bird feeder in the backyard and she is enjoying it very much.

 

One more pet photo and that's all, I promise! I had to take this shot of the two chihuahuas - they look like the yin yang symbol! Ha ha! By the way, they are rescues and now need a home. Any takers in TN? I will bring them to you!

 

My sister is a baker, and here is her newest creation - a cupcake bouquet for spring! So cute!

 

I took my girlie out for lunch. She and I share a love of sushi - look at this deliciousness from Little Tokyo!

 

So I spent most of the week painting. So tired & sore! I painted the den rhododendren green and the kitchen a golden brown to go with the red wall. I still have the halls - a light light yellow, and the kids' bathroom - yellow. Finished and before/after photos will eventually find their way to the Home & Garden section.

Have a Fantastic Weekend!

Tidbits From the Week

Not many tidbits this week - we've just been outside enjoying the nice Spring-y weather! But we did go out to eat at a Louisiana-style restaurant. Ah, fried oysters, my absolute fave food! The kids were being goofy:

 

 

 

We had a little St. Patrick's Day party with some cousins and a few neighborhood friends - rainbow jello with mini Reese's pots of gold, marshmallow leprechaun hats, and rainbow Twizzler & gold coin favors with homemade green candy buttons. Fun!

 

 

 Hope everyone had a great week!

Tidbits from the Week

Last week was my birthday. I had a lovely photo from my dinner out at this gorgeous restaurant on the water at sunset, but it was taken on a photo card that I had just purchased and was using for the first time and guess what? It was defective. No photo. Wah. So here is a photo of my present from my mother. Check out those heavy duty titanium garden clippers! Oh yeah! There is also a garden saw, very useful for my bradford pear tree which is in serious need of a trim. And not in the photo (because I am gobbling it up even now) is a Month-by-Month Guide to Gardening in Tennessee. Fabulous book.

 

The kittens are growing so fast! And they are wild as can be. You better not have a moving body part when they are in a playful mood - like a foot that's swinging - or you will be pounced upon.

The birds are coming back. We had a good rain and there were robins all over my lawn, pulling up worm after worm. And I am very happy to say that I was sitting in my kitchen looking out the window and a male cardinal poked his head up over the rail of the deck. Yay - love cardinals!

My sister and I went shopping together at Target and found really nice jeans on sale for $4! Shopping when the season is about to change is definitely the way to go.

Jill and I started taking guitar lessons together. Bending my hand that way is going to take some getting used to for sure. Have you seen the Friends episode where Phoebe is trying to teach Joey to play guitar? It is so funny! She has her own names for chords like "old lady", based on how she is holding her hand, and insists on that terminology.

That's about it for this week's tidbits. Hope everyone had a great week!
