My two Favorites

 Showing you all my two favorite pots for this year!

I have these two pots sitting around my pool and I love everything about them.  

Have the little hummingbirds showed up at your feeders?  I have my feeders out, but I haven't seen any hummers yet.

Just made our reservations for our trip to California....

Wow....prices on hotels and rental cars are.... UP, UP, UP.  ↑↑↑↑↑

This is when you would like to have a Camper trailer to vacation in!!   California is a far distance from where we live....so, I am guessing it would cost quite a bit in GAS.

Speaking of camper trailers.....many of the small towns around us are being flooded by these new 

RV sites.  MANY people are living in trailers and these parks are offering a lot of amenities, plus paid utilities.  

Of course, the monthly fee to rent one of the camper lots, runs between $475.00 to $600.00 per month.  

The cost to rent or lease a home in our area is out of sight.....doubled in price from just a few years ago. 

Cost of living is so High!

Hope you all have some exciting plans for the weekend.   I think the weather man is predicting rain for us all weekend.  

For now.....I'm thinking Mexican food sure sounds good for dinner!! 😃

Shug.....👌 

 

Running Behind

 Running Behind..........  WHY.    ↓↓↓↓

You know......some weeks are just a bit more full than other weeks, and this has been one busy week for me.  My mind and body, are just now on Monday, but yet, it is already Wednesday. 

 

for one thing......I have spent a lot of time in my flowers....(since we finally have some sunshine) AND as you can see from my header photo and the one above, my flowers are looking BEAUTIFUL.

What happens when you lose weight?  You can no longer wear the clothes in your closet!!!

I am not complaining about this at all.   I have dropped about 35  pounds and now my Spring/Summer clothes are all tooooooo Big for me!!

I spent one day this week shopping for clothes.  Hey, did you know that most all of the clothing stores are now stocked with these SHORT tops, which are not too flattering on older people???  

Seriously??

These are adorable!

Just not for someone my age.

Cute......Cute......Cute......

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

 I decided to try my luck on AMAZON...   I ordered 6 tops and I received them this morning.  This did not work!!!!  All of them are being RETURNED.  

Not only are they cheap looking, but the sizes are totally not what they are supposed to be.

Guess I need to learn to SEW.

                                 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

On Monday......My Girlfriends and I....."The Gypsy Queens" had our monthly lunch date.  

This time, we went to "Bubba's" and we split appetizers.  We all ordered something  different and I will say....this was the way to go.   

When we get together, we are as happy as clams at high tide!!

  

Spicy Shrimp!!  Loaded Fries!! Spinach Dip!! and Garlic Knotts!!  Plus...we each had a salad.  

Delicious!!!!

These little lunch dates are so important and we usually spend about 2 hours just eating and catching up!!   Love my Friends.

Sam and I voted today!!  We have lived in our little "City with a Heart" for 52 years and actually......Sam has lived her for 71 years.  

Never, ever, has there been Any kind of issues with the mayor and City council of this small town......until now.

We have a newly elected Mayor and WOW .... there has been a lot of turmoil for the past 8 months or so.  

We also have a lot of new people that have moved here, and I'm guessing they must have come from BIG cities, cause the strife and demands are ridiculous.   The new mayor is also new to our town.  

Our little town has always been more like a "Hallmark" kind of town and I really prefer it to stay this way. 

Let me end with something Positive....

"Good, better, best.  Never let it rest.  Until YOUR good is better and your better is BEST." 

Shug.....💟

Fun with Old Photos

 Fun with Old Photos....

What do you do on yet another RAINY day?  You look at Old photos!

We have had rain all day and with it being Saturday, I have been super lazy!

I have actually been looking for my old prom picture.....you know, the one I blogged about last week.   Mine and Sam's senior prom picture.....the one that I don't really like. 

What I came across was a few old photos.....the black and white days of photography.

The photo above was of me when I had my flower shop....way back in the 70's.  I love flowers and these were some really wonderful days of doing what I like to do......arrange flowers!

This one was way back in about 1971.....Sam and I were dating back then...

1959......Sam and his younger brother.  I love how his jeans are rolled up about 6 inches....lol

His mom intended on those pants lasting for a few years.  

My mom......and most likely one of her cousins.  Not sure!  I think I favor my mom.... a lot...

My maternal grandparents and three of my uncles.  My youngest uncle in this photo is only 3 years older than me.  He and my sister were close in age.  Can you have favorite uncles?  He is mine!

My grandfather's OLD barn...leaning just a bit these days...

Sam playing baseball back in the early 70's.  Big difference in the playing fields back then, from what they are today...  No astroturf, no fancy lights!

Our little town back in the 70's.   The building on the right was the local barber shop.....The "Men's Hangout!"  Most all of these buildings are no longer here.  We now have a RED LIGHT and cross walks.  

It has been a fun day.....looking at all of the 100's and 100's of photos that I have.   

My header photo is from an app that I used to capture myself back in the yonder years.   

Shug....🎥
