I finally had a good day...

so we drove around town and just out of town today...

this little house has just been redone and is up for sale...

on the south side of the house, there is a twin of this in the dining room...
love the ginger bread...

then the old depot...

and all its awesomeness...

so many little things make this town special...

like our mail pouch barn that was moved from out in the country to town in the 70s...

and then on out of town...
this dog and his friend love chasing cars...

I will have to show you all of these places when spring starts happening...

cow...
is watching me...

that's a bull...
and you don't mess with them...

water...
so precious...
after the drought last summer...
I don't take these images for granted any more...

bee hives...
there are 3 of them along the woods there...

I'd bet someone lives there...

its next to water and food...

so much life waiting to happen on the prairie...

just waiting for warmer days and special rains...

we had such a good time on our ride in the sunshine...
and we made our trip to town last night and ate out...
I had so much fun with my guys in Walmart and snagged some great deals on the clearance racks...
why do they have short sleeved t-shirts marked down to $2 when spring is coming?
their loss, my gain...
had fun going through the easter isles and found Bebe a bunny to play with and I got him a pair of bunny ears, too...
he is so cute in them!

that will be a later post for sure...
got to get my tree changed over!  
have a good night...
going to see the new doctor tomorrow and do another Walmart there...
then my whopper and hot fudge sundae...
;)
my guy has tomorrow off...
we are doing it together...
I am so blessed to have him...
but don't tell him I said that...
he gets a swelled head when he thinks that I think he's great...
you know how men are...

hope you had a good day today...

we did...

and now the heart tree can come down...
or maybe get ready for Easter...
I do have a lot of easter things for it...
might move it to the living room, though...
;)

happy valentine's day...

I hope your day is full of love...

a little romance...

even if its just the purr of a furry friend...

or wet kisses...

all love counts on valentine's day...

but most of all, we are all loved by God...

so have a joyous day soaking up the love in this old world...
and share it with someone who might not feel it...
and eat all the chocolate you want...
just tell them I said it was ok...
;0)
love you, guys...

just a night in my kitchen...

what I see when I am on the laptop...

working our way around the room...

and this table is up against the wall and our table is right up to it...

what do you keep out within reach?
I have my Qtips handy at all times...

and my glasses, cotton balls, test kit...
of course the cup is full of everything I might need...
forceps, glue sticks, pens, pencils, nickles, box cutter...
you just never know...

I am loving the mantle again...

this poor old pressed glass candy dish is a little lop sided...
made that way...
so you have to set it just right or it looks bad...

vintage rooster missing a foot...
I tell everyone he lost it in the war...
you know, the one against Colonel Sanders...
bwahahaha!

and then across the room, on the desk top...
someone has been busy opening windows...
she deleted a couple things yesterday off of DH's desktop and he had to go into the trash bin for them...
guess he's going to have to restore some more...

so that's it in sepia tones...
taking photos at night with our lighting turns the photos yellow...
so, I got rid of the color and they look fine...
so night photos will be like this from now on...
so, off to cause trouble while I still can...

a couple of ideas and some fun...

here are some free organizing ideas...
toilet paper rolls to keep your lace neat...

along with icing containers for the larger lace...
all in a shoe box...
easy to find what you are looking for and it doesn't get messed up...
been saving the rolls for awhile now to get this done this morning...

here is my new storage box that I got last weekend at the Dollar General...
it has a velcro lid so it stays shut...
and the colors are fun...

and it looks nice on the mantle...
change that up today, too...

changed the top of the desk...

found my eggs I made last year while doing it...
stashed in a box...

been sorting and cleaning...

laundry...
same old, same old...
and its 51 here, so been for a walk and going again...
have a great evening...
