How was your Sunday?

I finished putting up my Christmas decorations....at least I think this is all I am going to do this year.  Being in this small apt has its limits :-)

My table

My stockings were hung on the Hoosier Cabinet with care (hehehe)

My mercury glass candles

My rocking chair with the sweet pillow I bought from Carol's booth (The Polka Dot Closet)

On my Hoosier cabinet

My Nativity Scene

My mother bought these for me one year there is also some dresses

Aren't they adorable?

I added this in my bathroom with the tree

And this is the view from my living room into my dining room...love the reflection of the tree in my china cabinet.

Now I need to finish my Christmas cards

How are you doing on your decorating and cards?

Enjoy your Holidays!!!

Happy Pink Christmas!!!

I want to share my tree...I think it is finished...maybe

This is without the flash

This is with the flash

My bathroom tree

My bedroom tree

A few of my favorite tree decorations

The Mosiac ornament is from Carol at the Polka Dot Closet

Under my Christmas Tree

Next to my tree I have Santa.  The picture is of Mackinaw Island at Christmas, as you know the Island does not have cars.  I love the horse drawn carriage.

And my door, I had to take down my craft table to fit my tree so unfortunately (or fortunately for you) I don't have any room to do any crafting right now.

Please join Beverly to see other Pinks!!

Merry Pink Saturday!!!

Thailand

I am just so excited for my son and I just had to share with you.

My son Corey has been dating this girl for about 16 months now.  She is from Thailand and she has not been home for over 5 years.  Chatima found out her mother was sick and wanted to go home so my son offered to buy her a ticket to go home.  She did not want to travel by herself so my sweet son bought two tickets so he could take her to her home land. He is just the sweetest son and I am so proud of him.  He treats his ladies with the upmost respect and love.  I still had my engagement ring and wedding band from when I was married to his father so he asked if he could have it to give to her.  He wanted her to have the ring so when they went to see her mother he could show her that he loves Cha and wants to marry her.  Her father had passed away I am not sure when so it was important to Corey to show her mother that Cha will be taken care of.

This is her at the Orlando airport on Wednesday morning, I am so happy that she is able to visit her mother.

This is at the airport when they arrived in Thailand

Her fist time to read a newspaper from Thailand in 5 years

This is Cha with her mother

This is my son with her mother.  These pictures were taken at 9:00 am on Friday which is 9:00 on Thursday night (pm) our time.  Isn't modern technology wonderful?  I have also talked with him tonight on my Iphone via an app called TalkBox. It is a voice message system kind a like a walkie talkie.  I could hear Cha in the background talking her native tongue to her mother.  I am so excited for the both of them since this will be the first time my son has ever been out of the country and for her to see her mother.

I am not sure if you can see in this picture but there are several dogs and he told me they are all over and if you sit down to eat anywhere they are right there waiting for a hand out.

I am sorry but I wanted to share the excitement of my son, he is so proud to be able to do this for her.

What I am thankful for is:

I have 4 healthy boys and 2 sweet (Did I say sweet?)grandsons.   I still have the love from my family in Michigan and I still have my health (I think)

How was your day?

I am also thankful for the wonderful "friends" I have found in the year that I have been blogging.  You all bring me such joy to read about what is going in your lives and I hope you enjoy visiting me.

Thank you ;-)

Much love to all of you

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Hello and how are you?

Don't you just love candlelight?

I bought this frame at GW for 1.99 and it did not have glass on the front.  But I liked that it was already white and thought I could make something of it.

I made it into this:

The weather today was VERY warm 89 degrees today and we had lots of humidity.....I had to put my air conditioner on again!!!  I want some cooler weather!!!

I haven't been posting...I guess I just been kinda depressed...still haven't found a new job and Christmas is coming.  Had some bad luck with scammers while I was looking for a job...what are they trying to gain?  I don't have any money it is pretty bad when you can't even look for a job without scammers.

Hope something wonderful happens soon.

How are you?

Hope your day is wonderful!!!

My Weekend

I have been really careful to go out shopping since my hours have been cut.  I guess paying the bills has to come first :-(

But this past weekend I stopped at the Orange Tree Mall to see what they had.

These plates are so pretty 

This little creamer was marked down but the lady with the booth gave me a deal for the plates and the creamer.  I wanted to buy more but....limited funds

I also bought a couple of Christmas items but I am going to show them in a later post

I also watched my grandsons yesterday since my son was moving into a new apt....in the same apt complex as me!!!!!  I am so excited so now I know I will see my boys more often.

My 3 year old grandson wanted to pump up the tires on his bike so he said to me, "Mema I need the pumper"

I had to laugh that was so darn cute.  

Here are Griffin and Holden using the pumper.

Here is a picture of my son Ryan with his son Griffin.

My other son Corey came over also and then we took the two little ones to the park.

It was the best weekend since I spent time with my boys.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
