This is Daniella, a little  friend of ours who came to visit  around Easter time!

She brought me some Easter  treats -the little baskets and eggs filled with candy! 

The best treat of all was seeing that pretty little girl,  in her cute pink outfit and and that curly hair!

Isn't her hair just gorgeous?

  :)

 

Also, she gives great hugs!

Love,

This board fence marks the boundary of the wildflower meadow at our place. This is an area that we leave uncut for Spring's early show of wildflowers; mostly in shades of pink, lavender and white.

Our granddaughters (My sister,Joy's and mine)at age 2...
What a fun day!!

Ma-Ma had more little pink flowers than she knew what to do with! ;)

(click on pic to see better)

Our little girls are grown up now, and their great-grandmother is no longer with us here in this world...

Oh!  But we had some good times, all together, in those days.  We will always have the sweet memories!

Cara Mia ~ a different kind of Thanksgiving meal for me!

~~~

We had our traditional kind of Thanksgiving meal at home on Sunday before Tina, Alli and I left for our NY trip on Tuesday. Our turkey, and all the rest, turned out just about perfect!  So no one was cheated out of our usual holiday meal! (and I didn't feel guilty)

In NY we had a different kind of  Thanksgiving dinner...We ate at this Italian restaurant!.  Not sure exactly what I had but it was a really yummy pasta dish.

Alli was the one with the camera that night and she only made pictures of the people!  :)

Robyn and Ken  are from our town and they just happened to be on a trip to NY  over Thanksgiving , too!

Tina and Robyn went through nursing school together and Alli, at age 4, was the flower girl in Robyn and Ken's wedding! :) 

  ( Now that little girl ~ our Alli ~ is in nursing school, herself; following in her mom's footsteps! ) 

...Anyway, the funny thing about meeting up with these friends was like this... Tina and Robyn had, by chance, run into each other while working in the hospital recently...and the plans for  both the trips had been mentioned. Robyn thought it would be fun to meet-up and pretend ( with Ken) that it was not a prearranged plan when we all  turned up there at Cara Mia!  (so far away from our homes here in Ocala)   :)  It turned out to be a fun couple of  hours over an excellent dinner.

Surprise! Surprise, Ken!!  :)

By the time we walked the few blocks back to our hotel I was ready to call it a day! It had been a long and full one- having done the parade watching and also going to Central Park (and who knows what all else?) and then going to dinner!

Tina and Alli, though, went out for more exploring of the Big Apple!!

I slept well that night!!

Today was a happy day, as I found an old friend I had lost touch with many years ago!

This is our 7th. grade picture...I am the 4th from the left (front row) and my friend behind me is 'Mary.' It's so good to connect with friends from so long ago! :) Thanks, Mary, I enjoyed the long chat today!

Note:

This was probably in '54-'55 school year. I was age 13, I believe.

Funny, I remember ALL the girls but only a couple of the boys!  LOL- Guess I hadn't yet discovered 'Boys!'

My friend, Pea, had a fantastic Halloween party again this year. This girl has the best parties of anyone I know!  She serves the most delicious treats  and her decorations are 'out of this world' and she even finds costumes for all her guests!

This time she had us decked out as baby animals...with a few witches etc- rounding it out! So cool!

This is the outfit she had set aside for me! Do I look cuddly, or what!!  :)

Click link below to visit 'Pea's Corner' and see ALL of her guests in their costumes!

We had a couple of cute 'Trick-or-Treaters' stop by our place last night. Such fun seeing little ones all dressed up in their costumes...and knowing they have several years ahead of these fun Halloween nights!

These little ones are friends of my daughter-in-law, Joy.

That's Joy and my son, Chris, with the kiddies. 

 (AND there's lots of Yellows and reds in these pictures!!)

Pea's Birthday Party

~~~

Today I was invited to Princess Pea's 54th birthday party!

Oh, my, what fun!

Pea certainly knows how to throw a super party!

This time she supplied for each of her guests  a beautiful princess outfit!

(BTW-Pea has pictures of ALL of her guests at the party!  Go see the beautiful outfits she had for us all-and wish this dear girl a Happy Birthday!  Click link above)

...The only ripple in Pea's perfect plans, I believe, was when her male guest of honor-Prince Steve- showed up in a princess dress too! Pea had to scurry around and find him a suitable outfit for a PRINCE!  Lol-I'm inclined to believe that Prince Steve did that just to amuse the lady guests! He's a prankster at heart, from what I've seen in the past!

Like I told Pea... she sure picked a good style for me! This dress is quite slimming for me, don't you think? Do you think I look taller in this, also? YAH!!  I thought so too!!

(maybe even up to 5'-1")

  :)

:) Thanks, Pea, for all the fun times you share with us all..and...

Happy,Happy Birthday!!

Life is sad....

~~~

Life is so sad...and the unexpected sad happenings always manage to take us/me by surprise.
You (or I) go along, lost in our/my day to day trivial pursuits - mostly happy tidbits of life...taking everything for granted...not fully even realizing how important a situation or person or PET is in our/my life!

Then-WHAM! It's over and you are lost once again in your grief! You can't retrieve what's lost-no matter how much you wish you could!
All you can do is endure-get through it, somehow!

We have lost our sweet Tiger ~ World's Sweetest Cat!

~

 ~Tiger and I were checking out our wildflower meadow last spring~

~~~

~Our Tiger~

These are mostly recent pics

He wanted always to be near us, whatever we were doing, and would follow us around the property; even riding the golf cart with us to the pasture to check on the cows! These pics with the Wisteria are recent-and tho, NOT good of Charles or me, I'm so glad I have them.

Few could resist Tiger...even Non-cat people loved the old boy...

These 2 family members ARE cat lovers,for sure. All the others in our family loved him too- but these are the pics I found in my files-so I will post them here.

(Remembrance for our Tiger)

~~

(My son, Chris and granddaughter, Alli)

Tiger was a most loving cat ~ Note how he is stroking Chris' face.  That was one of his most endearing little things he did!

  

Tiger loved his mates a lot, also!

Goodbye, sweet boy!

Always with love,
