Thursday Thoughts

 Hey there friends...welcome to Thursday! Here we are coasting ALMOST into the weekend and I might add...a busy weekend at that.  It is WEDDING weekend for our grandson Carson and his lovely bride-to-be, Emily. 

Fresh flowers are coming today.....speaking of flowers, the price of these sweet babies has really escalated ↑↑↑↑.  A single peony is around $8.50 a stem. Hydrangeas are $3.50 per stem. 



Both of these flowers are gorgeous!!

Other News:

We have Hummingbirds! 


We have seen as many as 5 on the feeders at one time this season. 


Our baby boy...(William) and his mom (Emily) flew in for the wedding...  We were thrilled to  give them hugs.  We haven't seen them since Christmas, but we were all smiles yesterday when they came walking in the back door. William was cutting ONE tooth the last time they were home, and he now has 7.  WOW!
William's dad (Tucker) is on call at his job this weekend and won't be able to attend the wedding. 

*****
Mylee dropped by this morning, before heading out to school....She reminded me that in just a little over a week, she will be a senior!!!
Oh my goodness....how can this be? 

Well...that's a wrap for me today...
See y'all tomorrow...

Thanks for spending a few moments of your day with me today. Wishing you all a heart full of peace and a whole lot of HOPE in your pockets.

  1. Family weddings are so fun - witnessing a couple pledge their love and commitment to each other. Also when family members fly in for festivities. You will have a wonderful time and it couldn’t have come at a better time for you after what’s all been going on. Enjoy, relax, laugh, cry, hug and rejoice. ( and take some photos for us to ohh and ah over) 🥀

  2. What a great adventure for your family this weekend! I think that many cut flowers come from out of the country; maybe the tariffs are affecting the price?

  8. Hope and Peace to you too my friend.
    My goodness, those flowers are expensive but will be gorgeous for the tables.
    Love the photo of that sweet little William looking out the window. Enjoy your family times but remember to rest and take a deep breath in between your fun duties. Our kids and the grands sure do grow up as fast as my weeds in the backyard do..
    Take care

  10. Your next few days are going to be so joy-FULL! Those floral prices actually made me gasp ... but then, doesn't every bride and groom deserve to feel like royalty on their wedding day?
    Love William's airplane-theme pajama top! I hope the pilot and/or attendants noticed and commented on it.

  16. That is the sweetest picture of William looking out the plane window. Yaaay, you got the hummers coming around. That is awesome that five came at one time, what a sight! They are my favorite bird, by the way. The peonies are so pretty. I had a blog friend who absolutely loved these flowers. Wow, I didn't realize they were that expensive. Have a fun weekend, Shug.

  17. How do the kids & grands grow up so fast? Life moves quickly!! Our grandboy in Western NY turned one in Dec. We get to see pics of him running all over their property now! He's so grown ! Congratulations to your senior. Our 5 year old grandson Blake graduate from kindergarten to first grade in two weeks. Flowers are so pricey. I saw $5 bouquets at the store going for top dollar for Mother's Day!
