The days are slipping by......

Here are my days

3,4 and 5

K is for Kathy

My girls are always on my mind

i is for Icicle 

We are warming up its 18 degrees today

keep hearing a few of these breaking...

Happy Wednesday!

March- picture a day ♣

I'm gonna try and do this 

I try every month I really do....

Day One

Something Yellow

I bought these Tulips in hope to force Spring to come

and 

to brighten my day and house.....

Day Two 

Something borrowed

Does an idea count?

I've been on the hunt for things to style my new shelves

this is something I've been looking for as seen on Pinterest and many deco blogs...

not exactly the right color 

I might paint it another color 

but for now I like how it brings out the golds in other shelves.

Hello March ♣

March is one of my favorite months

It's Saint Patrick's Day on the 17th

The day everyone is Irish

It's our anniversary month

26 years on the 19th!

It's Katelyn's birthday month

20 on the 28th!

I have big hopes for March

The start of Lent

looking forward to the days being lighter longer

Day light savings time is next Sunday!

Hopefully warmer weather and some snow melting!

A job!

♣ Happy MARCH ♣

Throw back Thursday

This #tbt was taken almost four years ago...

It reminds me of a Spring day!

I took this picture when we were in Amsterdam 

at the famous Keukenhof Gardens

I love it!

Happy Thursday! 

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Joining Joyce at From This Side Of The Pond today

1. What is something you'll never forget about the age you are right now?

How close I am to the big 50 but still can say I'm in my 40's!

2. What's a household chore you've never done? How have you managed that???

Anything to do with plumbing and electrical....I am a helper....like hand me this and get that.

3. Does nature shape our personalities more than nurture? Explain? I believe it's a little of both and for some it's all one or the other. 

4. Friday (February 28th) is 'Something on a Stick Day'...funny because Zoanna over atA Penchant for Pens recently sent me an idea for a question relating to this topic. What's your favorite food eaten on a stick?

Caramel Apple for sure....there was a time way back in the day like late 80's where I would have answered Hot Dog on a Stick...every time I went to the mall that was my go to eatery. Not sure if it even exist anymore! 

5. Which of your five senses do you treasure most, and why?

Vision to much beauty to be seen and missed.

6. What's the best music, theatre, or sporting venue you've been to? What made it great?

I love the theatre I'm part of a theatre group we see six plays a year....so far this season War Horse has been my favorite. 

7. It's the last week of the month...in five words or less bid adieu to your February.

Cold, miserable, trapped, frustrating and disappointing

bye bye February! 

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

Happy National Margarita Day!

Yes you got that right

There is a National Margarita Day

February 22nd!!

I might celebrate with a giant swimming pool Margarita....

Or two kiddie pool Margaritas!

But you can guarantee there will be celebrating 

and a Margarita grin going on! 

Perfect weekend for our DD daughter to visit! 

My ❤ is happy today!

This girl is coming home tonight for a long weekend visit!

I can't wait to see her.....

hug her

take care of her

feed her

dote on her

Hopefully a trip home will

get her healthy again

give her some rest 

and help me make it to the next visit home

 eight weeks from now! 

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Monday!

Happy Valentines Day ❤

❤ From the 80''s 

❤ To now

Always my Love
Always My Valentine

❤ U!

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Joining Joyce @ From This Side Of The Pond Today! 

1.What makes love last?

Trust and mutual respect!

2. The Beatles made their US debut fifty years ago this week. Are you a fan? If so, what's your favorite Beatles tune?

I like them....Favorite it's hard to pick one...how about Penny Lane or Ticket to Ride! 

3. Valentine's Day-your thoughts? Do you celebrate in any way? Do anything special for the people you love? Expect anything special from the people who love you? 

I try to express my love everyday so Valentines Day is really not anything special. We are making a special dinner and having some nice wine and perhaps a fancy dessert! I sent Katelyn a little package with treats! I got my hubby his favorite chocolate. I wouldn't mind my favorite chocolate and a nice note. 

4. Steak or burger...you have to choose. Now that that's settled, how do you like it? 

Burger- with ketchup and mustard, lettuce and little tomato on a wheat bun done medium well!

5. The Hodgepodge lands on the birthdate (February 12th) of Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States of America. Lincoln is quoted as saying, 'Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test his character give him power.'  Do you agree? Why or why not?

I don't really agree sometimes power goes to peoples head and it doesn't reflect their true character. 

6. Honest Abe's image is featured on the US penny (1 cent coin) so I'm wondering...what do you do with your pennies (or your country's equivalent)?  It's been suggested the US stop making the penny, and two bills have been introduced proposing just that, but neither were approved. What say you?

I try to get rid of them as much as possible....useless coin! 

7.  Do you think pop culture deserves serious study?

Sure why not! 

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Today it's freezing but we are lucky to not be on the East coast with this latest storm, enough is enough Mother Nature! I'm looking out my window it's -7 with wind chill -24 but the sun is shining and the sky is blue.....my thoughts and prayers are to those in the storms path...be safe and warm!

Happy Wednesday!
