HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.........

Patrick, my dear son!

I can think of no one who deserves an
OREO cookie cake for their birthday but you!
Eat it all up now before the big, bad Dad
beats you to it..........................oops, I forgot,
he only likes the original and not the
double-stuffed!

Can you guess what time of year it is????????

Do you think you know?

Right...................................

it's time for the Little League World Series.....

right here in the central Susquehanna Valley......

in South Williamsport, Penna., right outside my

back door, well, not exactly right outside, maybe

just a fifteen minute drive up and down the

mountain.

The hill in the outfield will look like this

for the next two weeks...............................

But who cares because Dugout will be there

every day! Yahoo!!!!!

She "assumes" only the very best!

I love Our Lady and this Saturday is Her Assumption.

Truly an exceptional feast day in the catholic church.

Today I will share my visions of the blessings she has given to me....

Sunny Days of Sunflowers

I can't begin to tell you how happy sunflowers make me feel.
They have these wonderful "faces" that can turn your day around.

Hope all these faces turn your day into a smile!

Crafty days

Well, this is a crafty post.

Take a look at my new idea.

Cement leaves and they are a hoot to make.

Just love to try different colors on them.

Now for something completely different.

I had two really comfortable sweatshirts from

Cape May, NJ, that I couldn't part with because

they were so nice and soft.

After looking at them in the basement for years,

that's right, years, I decided to turn them into

pillows for the porch.

Ta-Da!~now every time I take a break, mostly

in my hammock, I will remember those wonderful

beach days in Cape May!

This pillow was made some

years ago and I really like the knitting

stitch I did. Of course, the yarn was pretty too.

Welcome to my...

Oh, how I love my garden.

In spite of all the weeds and bugs,
it is such a place of happiness and
peace.












There is a jungle where somebody
is always trying to hide and sneak
up on a prowler, like a chipmunk
or squirrel.

There's also a place for good luck!

Faded - yes - but not jaded.

Helping out the dear sweet singers of the

garden by offering them something cool

to drink.

What a lovely place to be.
