My new painting...and slipcovers. I need some ideas of what to paint the wall. The painting is of a vineyard...there is green (olive), rust, yellow/gold, and red. The slipcovers are an olive green faux suede. pillows are red, gold, green paisley. What do you guys think? Gold walls?  

A Happy Cambria Flower...I'd be happy living there too.....! 

Monday...Monday....

I have had a headache for nearly a week. Maybe it's allergies since everything is in bloom here now. I am getting really tired of it though.

Today i took Leslie shopping for a bathing suit and we found 3 one piece suits out of the 359 bikinis. Luckily she liked ONE of the one piece suits. It's cute....black and pink and I even bought a little pink bathing skirt to go with it. If i wore bathing suits...I would have bought it for myself.

I did splurge and bought myself some flip flops in 4 different colors at Target. Simple Pleasures.

Happy Easter!!!

Quote of the Day: On Blessings

We went to the beach!!! It was a much needed break after my week of Doctor appointments.

Britten...I thought of you when I took this picture. In fact, as I walked away from this garden I told Royce, "Britten would go crazy here." 

You can see Britten, it wasn't a real house...but a miniature set on a birdbath base. I want to make one...right away. This could be a fun Enrichment Night Project....yeah right! haha..... 

Look who I saw in Cambria....? 

The new house Royce and I bought today in Cambria......a nice Hobbit Hole for a couple of aging, but cute, Hobbits. 

This is my life condensed into 16 little boxes

There's something to be said for NOT living to the age of 125. Not kidding. This is a sweet Brazilian woman who has out lived 2 husbands and all of her 7 children. Amazing huh?
