A Valentine Cowgirl!

This little Valentine was made by our blog friend, Hootin' Anni.

She made it for her blog readers of which I am one...sooo... I thought I'd just put her here to brighten things up today! :)

Valentine's Day is coming up real soon!

Flowers! Candy!...Diamonds!!

LOL- What's your favorite gifts for Valentine's Day?


ME?...Nothing beats flowers!
...except maybe this!

Love,

Flowers for Mom

I've been thinking of Mom a lot these past few days. Yesterday Charles and I took new holiday flowers out for her and spent a few moments in remembrance of her. It will soon be 6 years since she left us all. Doesn't seem possible that so much time has passed! I still miss her and think of her every day.

This picture is of Mom at age 74 ~

Christmas Eve, our house in Miami, Fl.

(I think, about 25 years ago-1983)

I decided to have Charles put up the old Christmas banner. I wanted to get a new one but haven't been able to find one...so once again the little Reindeer will fly for us! (faded as he is)

The rest of my decorating will have to wait for another year!

Maybe next Christmas season will not be as stressful as this one has been.


~I am thankful for one more Christmas with my family!
I expect there are a lot of changes in store
for us in the new year!~

I DID manage to get our cards ready to go... :) Amazing!

I got some gift shopping done today and have a couple more outings before I'm finished!

Slowly I am able to mark things off my list! Tomorrow, hopefully, I will go out again to shop for my boys. I did my daughters and granddaughter today.

Later tonight I will do some baking of goodies...well-it's my plan to do that!

Tuesday Charles is scheduled for the skin cancer surgery again. This is the spot that was found on the opposite side of his face from the last one. We're hopeful they will both prove to be successful. Anyway, that will be our Tuesday this week!

Vintage Ads

I love vintage things!

I came across these two advertisement cards I got many years ago in Pennsylvania. I remember buying them one year on a visit with my sister in Altoona.

I can't put a date to either of them but know they are both very old.

~~ I love the art illustration of both of them!~~

I went searching for info of these companies!
Didn't find anything except
this of the card on the right!

( a place to buy this type of cards! Ut-Oh- here I go again...being sucked in!
But aren't these cards just sooo charming!! )
