goodbye...

its a sad day...

Davy Jones has passed from this world...

but I can't help but smile when I think of him...

the Monkees was one of my favorite shows...

from 67-71 I watched faithfully...

I was only 5 when it began...

and they always made me laugh...

and I still listen to their songs from back then...

I remember when Davy Jones appeared on The Brady Bunch with Marcia...

she was the president of his fan club...

I just hope his life was as fun and happy as he made so many people...

he was only 66...

but he died in his sleep...

you know, his mother died when he was 14...

imagine the reunion going on...

some things never go out of style...

its the smiles...

they always had them...

and they always gave them...

I remember that cover...

can it be that long ago?

anyway, thank  you, Davy Jones...

for all that you gave...

 the smiles...

the laughter...

my world was a better place because of you...

thunderstorms in February = frost in May...

isn't that what they say?

well, we have had thunder and lightening...

and rain...

so had to shut down the puter for awhile...

here are some photos with the new camera...

I played yesterday...

I should have been cleaning and sorting more...

but, I didn't...

Craig and I have been rearranging the counters the last couple of days...

and the mantle...

almost got it right...

but still tweeking...

I got a new pink flamingo cup Sunday to take on the road with me...

Dollar General...

the lid screws on and the straw cannot come out with the lid on...

DH found them and thought it  would be nice for me to take my drink with me...

inserting springy things here and there...

but it was too nice to stay in long...

one of the few times the sun was half way out...

but it was almost 60 here...

and it will be in the 60s today...

the clouds were white to start with but turned grayer as the day went on...

we had to make a Charleston run after DH got home to pick up the car from being fixed...

then Craig did a mini Walmart run...

while DH and I cruised Lincoln for a food run...

they had built a new County Market that just opened and they were knocking down the old one yesterday...

they aren't wasting anytime...

it was sad to see the building go...

it seems like it had been there forever...

but the new County Market it beautiful...

and when the dust clears...

it will all be good again...

we all wanted something different...

so 3 stops were  made...

McDonald's, Taco Bell and Arby's...

then home again...

and this is how I felt...

Beau Beau thinks its hard work keeping up with the duster and broom...

went to bed too early...

so now I'm up early...

so going to do breakfast and my pill...

and I might just sneak back to bed before anyone else gets up...

have a great day!

a few new things collected last week...

I found this little planter uptown at Martha's last week when Craig and I went snooping around town...

then this card came from Ann at  A Sentimental Life...

she sent me 3 of the cutest vintage easter postcards...

pretty, huh?

and this one...

and this one...

she knows I collect airbrushed embossed postcards...

thank you so much, Ann!

I love them all!

and then a few that I purchased online came in...

I also collect big letter postcards...

look at the colors in these...

makes it feel like spring in here...

love the lacy edge to this one...

and then what I snagged Sunday at the DG...

bins, a book and nail brush...

and these guys...

I wasn't sure if I would like them, so only got one pack of them...

I am going back for more!

you get 2 for $1...

chicky egg candy containers...

a future collectible, maybe?

who knows...

think I had a tummy flu thing...

woke up sick at 2am...

and it ran about 12 hours...

miserable hours...

but I seem fine now...

like someone flipped a switch and turned it off...

I also got my new camera today...

and the photos were taken with it...

I love it...

its a Canon Powershot SX150...

I looked and looked and decided to stick with what I knew...

my old powershot did so well...

I went with a newer model...

so be warned...

I see lots of photo shoots in the near future...

have a great night...

love is...

joining Marydon once again...

my man is my comfort zone...

where ever he is...

is my favorite place to be...

he's the next best thing to Heaven and God for me...

a few shots of today...

things are greening up and sprouting up here and there...

and I am so eager to remove the left overs from the beds...

even though the sun has been so warm...

its still not time...

I look around at all the work that needs to be done...

making mental notes...

but its not time...

not yet...

the new growth is still going to need that protection for a few more weeks...

spent the day with my guys...

even lost power for awhile this afternoon...

perfect time for a nap...

then I spent so long on the phone with my bestie tonight...

Rebecca and I can go forever without having our long talks...

cause we just know each other so well...

but it was so nice to sit and talk...

dream...

compare notes on where we are...

where we want to be...

our options for the future...

girl talk...

best friend talk...

sharing, talking and just being in the same place at the same time...

even if we do it over the phone...

she is so many things to me...

I can't even begin to explain it all...

now, for a snack and off to bed, maybe...

been a long day...

but a good day!

March desktop calendars...

got up early this morning...

4am!

way too early for breakfast...

so I made 6 desktop calendars for you all...

March is coming fast...

in like a lamb?

out like a lion?

and with the luck of the irish...

maybe it will come in and go out like a lamb...

I haven't done these for awhile...

and I missed not having one...

so take what you want...

click on the photo...

save it...

then go in and right click on it again...

and save it to your desktop background...

and it will pop up there...

grocery shopping this morning in Paris...

bringing home Whoppers for lunch!

have a great day today!

we are going back up to the 50s!
