Random thoughts

So here are some random thoughts and a couple of pictures. The pictures are because I got a new camera. A Canon Rebel T3i. I am getting used to it and so far I am liking how the pictures are coming out. There is so much to learn. The random thoughts are coming because I turned 60 last week. I just don't know where the time has gone. Funny it does not bother me being 60, but my thoughts have turning to things I want to do. ( more on that in a later post) My family had a nice party for me and then hubby and I spent the day together poking in antique shops and out for a quiet dinner. My idea of a perfect day.

I received these two glass witch balls on my 50th....wow where did 10 years go?

 

See even my bunnies are laughing!

 

 

 

 

 

Much better!

Look what my son made me for my birthday. A sweet box to cover my toaster. I showed him a picture a while back..... Now he made one for my standmixer too. He brought them to me unfinished. He knew I would do what I did to them and his words were "I leave that part to you Mom".

Now I am not sure what color I want the mixer box, but knew this is how I wanted the toaser box to look.

What a great gift!

So see the before below:

I love it!

Rain, rain, go away....

All we have had is rain and more rain, houses are flooded, roads are flooded, no good hair days, just lots of rain. Now in the middle of all this I have a birthday and it was brightened by lot of flowers and well wishes. My family had dinner ready for me and I got flowers from my sister in Texas the day before. Beautiful yellow tulips and purple iris'. Iris' have a special meaning, they were my Nana's and Mom's favorite and they bring a smile and happy loving thoughts to all of us.

My sweet husband always brings me red roses...for the last 39 years.....

oops I'm only 39, how can that be?

These flowers came from my son and daughter. The best gift of the day was a call from my son! He had been away all the week before and I worry when I don't hear from him, but that call made my week!!!

My beautiful sister sent these, a total surprise! I am so lucky because I have the best sister in the world and I love her very much! There may be many miles between us, but the closeness is always in our hearts:)
