MOTHER’S DAY GIFT

I would love to share with you what I received from the wonderful man in my life –

He made my mother’s day so special – He did everything I wanted to do and then some –

After all he did – he came into the room with this beautiful picture (a picture he took over this past winter) he had it put onto canvas and then framed.

It is one of the most beautiful pictures he has ever taken…

I love it so much – 

I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day…

Much love,

Rose

Good Morning –

I think I was just learning cross stitching.  It now hangs in my guest room.

I only measures 3”x2” but it is just so cute.

Have a wonderful day.

BEAUTIFUL SPRING MORNING………

 

image

It is such a beautiful sunny day in upstate NY.  The birds are singing and the grass is so green.

The trees are in bloom with all their flowers –

Such a beautiful picture outside.

I have to say Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons.

Spring because everything is new again.  Life is like that –

The newness of everything is just overwhelming  – always makes my heart feel so good.

It should be going up to 60 degrees today and the week looks perfect, sun and the 60’s is just fine for me.

This is what life is all about – the little things that make us so happy.

The sun shinning and the birds singing – the love of your life sitting next to you – enjoying a cup of coffee. 

Thank you Lord for the beauty in my life….Thank you for all those who mean so much to me, and always keep them safe.

Wishing you all the best Sunday –

Much love,

Rose

SPRING FRONT DOOR WREATH

image

So easy – Purchased 2 grapevine wreaths – One bigger then the other. Put the smaller one inside the bigger one, used metal ties to hold them together, attached the red and white check ribbon – I love this ribbon – it is burlap and has wire so it keeps its shape..

Put the burlap roses on and attached from behind – used another metal tie to attach the little nest with the eggs and then just clipped the bird onto the nest.. 

Purchased everything at Michael’s Price $10.00 Love the price.

Most everything is 50% off this week…YEA….

SWEET LITTLE TEA CUP

SWEET TEA CUP

Is this the sweetest tea cup ever.

I saw this in Home Goods the other day and had to take it home with me..

image

Even the saucer is so pretty

This is the inside of the cup.

I bet a cup of tea would taste amazing in this cup.. Right now it is just on display on my pie table – (gift from Pete)  

Thought it would give the house a bit of spring

BEING GRATEFUL

Good Morning Family & Friends-

I know I have not posted in a bit, but I have been busy spring cleaning.

It’s Sunday morning about 7:45 and I am sitting in my favorite chair, in Pete’s office- I have my best inspiration in this spot.

I want to tell you how grateful I am to have the life I have.

Pete (my husband) has given me everything that I have ever dreamed of.  It’s hard for him to say NO to me, and that makes life a bit easier, even though I don’t know it, I guess you could say I take advantage of the good nature he is always giving me.

The other day we were discussing getting hardwood floors, we had someone come out to measure and give us a price. The price was crazy, and I saw the look of confusion on Pete’s face.  He told the person we needed to think about it.  OMG I knew then I was not getting the floors.

I considered not going to California – (a trip we planned) and to let you know I have been looking forward to this trip for quite some time.

Kristin, ALy & Jenny were going to be there – not to mention my wonderful sister (who lives there) and her whole family – along with a few nieces and nephews.

After a few hours of wondering how we could make this happen, I started to think about FAMILY…….Family is the most important thing in the whole word to me, how could I do that – how could I make the wood floors more important then my FAMILY………How awful ……..

My mind was wondering all over the place, I finally went into Pete’s office and said “Hun I don’t think we should get the floors” he was so grateful, and so happy he didn’t have to think about how he was going to do this for me.

It was the best feeling in the world to see the look of love on his face, and knowing he didn’t have to spend the money.  

I made the right choice – to be with the people I love so very much.

And for this and so many other things in my life I am truly grateful…

Much love,

Rose
