Pink Saturday...

my Pink Saturday post this week is this photo that was originally black and white...
and then was colored...
pink...
this is me at 6 months old...
it's in a vintage gold frame...
with another photo of me...
that my grandmother kept on the dresser...
my mother had taken me to get my picture done...
she always had photos taken until I started school...

Here is a little song she used to sing to me...
many years ago...

Oh little playmate,
 Come out and play with me
 Bring your dollies three
 Climb up my apple tree
Look in my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends forever more

Oh, little playmate
I can't come out and play
 My dolly's got the flu
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
 Ain't got no rain barrel
 'Ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends forever more
dreamin' this Saturday of days gone by...
 
Happy Pink Saturday!

Potato soup this weekend!

If you all haven't been to Lori Lynn's blog yet, now is the perfect time...
she has got this great idea for a new twist on the old fashioned potato soup...
hearty and sure to warm you up this weekend...
I'm going to be doing my granny's version...
just potatoes and milk with black pepper...
along with grilled ham sandwiches...
but I am going to keep her new twist on the old favorite to try out later this winter...

Sunny and nippy...

another fall day...
one that bites your little nose and the tips of your ears...
high of 42 and a low tonight of 23...
we got 50 tulips bulbs to get in the ground this weekend...
if we can get holes dug...
and 30 new crocus that will smile at me in the early spring...
that's 5 months away...
oh, does that stink or what?...
still at 2 inches of rain since Aug 1st...
it's gotta start raining sometime...
we got a trace yesterday...
couldn't even measure it...
but we did get the rainbow...
Craig got me up at 3am with a severe sinus headache...
been taking Zyrtec...
dried it up real good...
too good...
it was all stuck up in there and he hurt so bad...
hot packs and massages...
push fluids...
it finally went away, but he missed his classes today...
he's nappin' again on the couch...
we have been up and down all day...
hope we can sleep tonight...
that should do for my rantings for today...
big plans for the weekend...
taking back the kitchen from all the junk that just appeared out of no where...

Film Friday with Nancy...

One of my all time favorite movies...
I can watch it over and over and over again...

 Sally Field ... M'Lynn Eatenton
Dolly Parton ... Truvy Jones
Shirley MacLaine ... Ouiser Boudreaux
Daryl Hannah ... Annelle Dupuy Desoto
Olympia Dukakis ... Clairee Belcher
Julia Roberts ... Shelby Eatenton Latcherie
this is one of those movies that has everything...
it's laughter through tears...
my favorite emotion...
my favorite scene is in the cemetery...
whack Ouiser...
for all mankind... 
just a group of women who, beyond anything else, support each other...
kind of like what we do here...
through laughter and tears...
we blog every day...
I am joining Nancy today at her blog party...
FILM FRIDAY
