Why One More For The Road

I don’t want to leave my faithful followers hanging

while I am in TEXAS…

(kissing, hugging & loving my Grandson and

cleaning, cooking & laundering for the new Parents)

just waiting for my landscape reveal. ha

I want you to be able to sleep tight at night!

Therefore, here’s one for road…

BEFORE:

YESTERDAY they finished mulching

AFTER:

NOW…

let’s hope I never forget when this landscaping was done.

After all, I will have TWO monumental reminders:

LANDRY’S BIRTHDAY &

HANNAH & JEREMY’S WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

With my memory… I thank God for reminders :)

Why Texas Is Waiting

MY time has come to go to Texas

to become a Grandmother!

Please keep Abby, Chris & Landry

in your daily prayers.

I can hardly believe my pumpkin,

who has been hand carved by God,

is ready to light up our World.

I am so grateful God NEVER sets His tools down!

He is constantly fine tuning His masterpieces.

His work is never done with us.

Daily He continues to carve us

into His image.

than to know that my

children & grandchildren

walk in HIS truth.” :)

Tabletop Thursday

The Lord has been so gracious to me this week.

I pray you can say the same!

Well…with a December wedding approaching

How pretty are these tabletops?

An over the top tent wedding…

spectacular but not good on the wallet :)

Why We Are Landscaping

We have lived in our home for 17 years now

time has gone quickly,

too quickly.

8 years ago

we completed our patio project.

We love our patio area so much we have purposely ignored the rest of our yard.

A sneak peek of some never Before seen photos

of what lurks beyond our oasis…

It is our “17 years in the making

landscaping headache project”

Finally…17 years later…

we are tackling what lies beyond the patio…

Our deep backyard backs up to some neighbors

And a few eyesores

More than THREE MEN and ONE BIG truck  later…

We will have taken personal responsibility for our part of the eyesore!

The After photos Coming Soon :)

Why Tabletop Thursday

 

I have decided to feature tabletops on my Thursday blogs.

I have been paying close attention to them while planning a wedding.

This tabletop is very Lilly Pulitzer.

It caught my eye because it looks like the quilt Aunt Robin made Hannah for her dorm room.

I found the Lilly Pulitzer style fabric at Jo Ann fabrics.

It was quite the find!

The preppy signature print feels a bit more country which makes it perfect for a Kentucky affair.

I love the pom-pom napkin ring

The perfect re-use for a beautiful quilt

would make the sweetest tabletop

to share with girlfriends :)

Why Audrey

This marks my 100th post…

which means either there are too many sweet things to share or I need to “get a life!”

While I decide which it is??

Here is ONE more sweet thing…

Audrey Hepburn once said…

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;

blue-eyes-makeup

for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;

Beautiful Lips

and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

JesuswithChildren

NOW…those are “beauty tips” to follow :)
