Pink Saturday...remembering our mothers...

our mom's are no longer here on earth...
they are shining there now...
but all the years here are never forgotten...
forever cherished and treasured...
and until we meet again...
forever...
our moms...
Happy Mother's Day to all of you...
whether you carried a child within your body...
or you have carried a child within your heart...

bless my son...

of all days to get up sick...
but with the help of my son...
we rummaged 2 sales...
I have a bad cold, head and chest...
got up feeling miserable...
we knew we wanted to hit this one sale real bad...
so he got ready and I didn't have the energy...
so he loaded me in the van in my nightgown...
he held things up, signed the price and I told him yes or no...
some things are going in the booth...
some things are staying here...
50 cents!
curtains for my bathroom...
a whale paper weight for Craig...
and he got this for me since I love angels...
the only floral piece I got...
a wonderful basket...
I am going to use it for plastic store bags...
then I just sat outside off and on...
then took a nap...
finally got my shower this morning when we got back...
and just put another night gown back on...
this was the most perfect day so far...
the clouds were so poofy and the sky was so blue...
and it was 66...
and I missed most of it...
figures, right?
that's what I get for going out in the rain...
getting chilled to the bone too many times...
washing the car when it was 43 probably wasn't smart...
it is so nice to have something "common"...
it's not the fibro or the arthritis...
it's not the IBS...
it's just a cold...
and I feel rotten...
but it's a good rotten...
Craig was so good today...
and he helped me get everything cleaned up...
didn't get it priced...
but that can happen tomorrow...
he fed me all 3 meals...
gave me a wonderful neck massage...
and he's plugging in the electric blanket in the living room so I can lay down on the couch in a few minutes...
I will check in on all of you tomorrow...
have a good night and sweet dreams...

more images...

pretty in white...
love the realistic fruit with blemishes and worm holes...
take what you want...
enjoy...

the rain is coming in soon...

been a long day, even if we did get up late...
the cotton wood fuzz is all over here...
I need to slow down a little bit...
columbine coming up where we really don't want it...
how many pedals so you think this old bike went through?
and I'm hoping to have this planted in wave petunias...
need to clean it out first...
just glad the birds didn't make a nest in here...
Doug brought our truck back this afternoon and stayed for supper...
BBQ pork chops, baked potatoes and veggies...
spokes have always fascinated me...
and now for some shadows...
and pretty color...
our mower guy's helper mowed today and he brought his brother who was visiting from Wisconsin...
I told him I had blogging friends up north who are waiting for their spring and he laughed and said it might happen by the time he gets back home...
he was enjoying his time here...
we just had our last cooler day, I hope...
they are calling for 80s next week...
I just want a happy medium...
70s from here until October...
hope you all have a great evening...
I think I am going to go change into my night gown and take it easy...
maybe an early night since I missed my nap...
I'm already yawning...

rummage finds...

I don't really need it in my booth...
my booth is very small...
but someone else will grab it...

I know what it's used for but can't think of what it's called...
so if you could help me out here...
it's going to be a stand for something fun...

got up late...
really late...
9am!
OH!
MY!
GOSH!
was sitting here trying to wake up enough to get a shower and dressed...
and wouldn't you  know it?
the mower guys show up!
yippee skippy...
as Rebecca would say...
so throw something on...
go out and talk to them and pay them...
back inside...
brunch...
shower...
clothes...
go get  the mail...
stop by the hardware...
didn't have what I wanted from the sale flyer...
on our way home and see a sign...
RUMMAGE SALE...
circle the block...
you know how it is...
my first in a couple years...
not very much good stuff at all...
but I got the best they had...
and it will give me something different in my booth...
and I can make a little, too...
not a lot...
but that's ok...
because it's the thrill of it...
right?
now, to play catch up...
so much to do and the day's almost gone!

is it nap time yet?

have a super fun day!
