Day #5

~SMILE~

I love to see the smile on their faces~

They make a Grandma's ♥ smile....for sure!!

Day #4

~Bedside~

This is my side of the bed~

I ♥ my chair and foot stool....
(there are Diane's creations all over my house)

it's a perfect place to sit and read
or watch TV
(so on a perfect night this is what it looks like)

...but the most perfect thing to do with this chair
and footstool is to store all the pillows off of my bed.

So, this is what my bedside usually looks like.
(I'm not gonna lie)

Day #3

~My Neighborhood~


There is something about the "hood" first thing in the morning. Clean and fresh and damp and smells good!! Fresh morning air!!


Everyday when I back out of the garage~I'm so jealous of all those that get to stay home during the day.
I'm NEVER home during the day. If I ever retire I think I'm most excited about being in the "hood" and my home during day light hours.

So, in anticipation of today's post I drove around the "hood"
on my way to work and took some photos of some of the pretty flowers in some of the yards.
I kill everything I ever try to grow, especially flowers.
My brother Hoke and my Dad can make anything grow~
they have all the talent~cuz I have NONE!!

If the pictures are fuzzy it's because I was driving by and leaning out the window hoping no one would see me and think I was stalking them.

I hate cactus, but they managed to grow some pretty flowers throughout the yard too.

When my house grows up I want it to look like this home!! I've always loved it and have been envious of their beautiful flower boxes.

The yard below belongs to my sweet friend Angie ~ she loves digging in the dirt and her yard shows it~ this just makes me feel happy!!

This is the park behind our house~it's quiet in the morning
but when I turn the corner after work this park is full of football games,
families and dogs and kids riding their bikes.

This is the sight I saw in the park this morning~kinda makes me feel sad~
but they left the bottle half full!

This is the vacant lot on the corner.....we just signed a petition to stop them from building an apartment complex here. Just what we need...more apartments~not to mention the traffic waiting to get out on Val Vista at the light!

This is the little bit of color on my front porch in the old rocking chair~
it's about the only thing I don't kill~

Thanks for taking a walk with me around "my neighborhood"~

Day #2

~FRUIT~

Sweetiepie had a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice this morning~
one of his favorites...especially if someone else will do the
SQUEEZING and pick the oranges!

Personally, I'd choose Fruit Loops....
no milk, just right out of the box!!

Here's some fun {{fruit}} facts:

Strawberries are the only fruit that has its seeds on the outside.

Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

Favorite fruits of kids ages 5-18 ~ strawberries, bananas, apples and cherries.

The most valuable fruit crops in the United States are in this order, grapes, apples, oranges and strawberries.

Nectarines are peaches without the fuzz.

Strawberries are a member of the Rose family.

Blueberries won't ripen once they are picked.

Lemons contain more sugar than strawberries.

An apple is made of 25% air, that's why they float.

Apples, potatoes and onions have the same taste. Pinch your nose and take a bite out of each.

1/3 of the worlds pineapple comes from Hawaii.

Now, have a piece of fruit....it's good for you!!
