Patriotic Flower

This flower arrangement below I created and put together this past weekend, and added a small flag to it to look patriotic, I cannot wait til it starts to grow and fills in.......I was quite impressed. This was my favorite from all my planters i created.

the new Flowers

Last Saturday over the weekend we got a few flowers for outside, our flower beds are dull and no color -so we visited a local farm to buy some -in fact they are called SMALL FAMILY FARM, that's their business name.

Below is a pink flower on the right that Taylor just had to buy --so I thought I'd share this pretty pink flower with everyone! It just looked like spring!

Memorial Day

This weekend our small town called Hallam had a parade and a rededication ceremony in honor of veterans of war. ON this plaque you see below names were added for all to view. They started with a small parade through town, and ended with this ceremony below of dedication and honor. My dad's name was added to this monument plaque and i hope to get pictures of it closer up -it was very busy and crowded after the ceremony so I decided to wait. It was a fun afternoon, the weather was simply beautiful.

I can't tell in the above photo but it appears the mayor of Hellam is speaking.

Taylor above is relaxing and being patriotic during the ceremony. What a nice sunny hot day!

A Photo taken before the unveiling of the memorial .......the cover was on this memorial for days -it was actually very pretty -I thought.

This man was part of the parade and celebration -which stopped in front of us to chat and show us his unicycle. He rode this in the parade and showed his talent and patriotism to all.

Hope you had a great MEMORIAL DAY!

Memorial Day Weekend

I must admit I am slacking on my blogging lately. I just want to blog everyday but haven't had the time and effort.

With the Memorial Day Weekend approaching and now here, we have so much to do. We just found out we have to deliver our paper route on the A.M. Run for 3 days straight. Which is not my thought of excitement. Holidays do that for us.
And then we have promotional week all next week, each day Tues thru Friday we will have 120 extra papers to toss/throw and deliver to non-customers, oh joy! What a way to end May.

Have a great weekend!
Wendy-

1 Week

I haven't blogged for 1 week, well guess we've been busy --- I will be blogging later tonight and/or tomorrow for sure. We've been busy -softball game, softball practice, bowling, working, and a wedding yesterday with some fun photos. Will be back soon for more blogging.

* HAPPY MOTHERS DAY *

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all mothers out there, I didn't have any photos to add today -was looking for a picture of Taylor and myself and didn't have any saved on the computer.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

My new Curtains

Here is my latest purchase, my kitchen curtains, I only have this valance up right now but have 2 more to add to my window and above my kitchen sink, it also has a tailored curtain for my regular window but it isn't lowered enough to take a photo yet, I think they are cute!

More photos

Just another photo that made me feel like spring today --its to be so nice out today - in the mid 70's and sunny --cannot wait to get outside and enjoy it.

This photo above was taken on May 3rd at Botanical Gardens in Va. It was such a great day to see all these beautiful flowers/settings. It definitely was a spring day!

Botanical Gardens, VA

This weekend we did get a road trip to Virginia........during our stay we tried to do at least 1 thing to entertain ourself as we visited the BOTANICAL GARDENS in Virginia. it was a hot day but it was sure beautiful there, and I took alot of pictures. They had about 4 weddings throughout the gardens that day and again it was such a bright sunny day (enough to get sunburnt) and still enjoy the visit. Here are some of the photos I took, I will share more later.

Yes, this is me (above) and I actually allowed photos of me this day -standing by the fountain.

This photo was taken in front of the kids water works area, called WOW ---- it was even hot enough this day for the kids to participate and splash around and get wet. We were on the tram ride when I took the above photo so I couldn't get a whole lot of the water area park for kids.

And this picture was just so unique of the grass growing on top of this building. It has purple flowers on it too, it was quite pretty.

Check back later as more photos to come.

Road Trip

Its been a crazy week and busy -no time to blog anymore, we're thinking of heading out of town this weekend To Virginia but the cost of gas is killing us, as its hurting everyone. Money is tight until next week and we're just not sure if we'll get there.

We will find out later today if we can swing it...........it would be nice to take a road trip --- but there is so much to do and little time to do it before we take off. Guess I'm heading to work and to see if we can get away for 2 days.........have a great weekend.

The weather here is beautiful today, high 72 and sunny! It'll be a nice afternoon.
