Something New to Greet You!

Hey everyone!  Happy Monday!  Did y'all watch the Oscars last night?  We thought it was one of the most enjoyable and entertaining presentations that we've ever seen -- gotta a kick out of the "Jaws" music playing when someone was getting a bit long-winded!  It was also a first for us in that we had actually seen quite a few of the movies that were presented and now we know which ones will be on our Red Box rental list!  Well, enough of that;  I have a little show 'n tell reveal for y'all today, so let's get started.

One of our newest DIY projects, and one of my very favorites is this transformation that we've been planning for awhile.  It all takes place right at the front entry.

More Freaky Weather!

Hey everyone!  It seems that all parts of the country are getting some unusual weather of late, and Arizona is not to be left out.  We had a torrential downpour this morning, and while The Man was out running an errand, he snapped this photo with his iPhone......

These are the Superstition Mountains just 20 miles northeast of us.  Very rare for them to have snow, at 

least down so low.  The Man said there was even snow in the rain hitting the car windshield

when he was out and about.  Three days ago, I was wearing capris and a short sleeve top; today

I'm dressed like "Nanook of the North!"  What "freaky" weather are you having?

My Early Spring Mantel

Hey everyone!  Woohoo, yes it's me -- I'm back "up and running" on all multi-media and social network systems!  Wow, I've missed y'all so much and look forward to catching up.  I have lots to share, so let's get started.

I suppose now that Valentine's Day is over, all thoughts in blogland have turned to Easter and Spring.  Well, I've been dying to share my Winter mantel with y'all, but at this point-in-time, I'm calling it my early Spring mantel...lol!  It took me quite awhile to decide what I wanted to do with the mantel after all the Christmas mesh, glitter and bright colors were packed away, and this is what I came up with.  Hope you enjoy!

Will You Be My Valentine?

Hey everyone!  Yay, I have Internet service again!  NOT!!!  It's only wishful thinking on my part.....lol.  I'm just borrowing a little "Internet Cafe" right now so I can send you some Valentine lovin'.  I have truly missed all of you and have quite a bit to share, but I can't do too much right now.  I just want to give a "group hug" and a big "THANK YOU" to everyone who has commented on my posts and for several new followers.  I will have a bunch of catching up to do when my service is back up and running, but I hope you won't "kick me to the curb" in the meantime.

  I hope you are all, each and everyone, getting to do something extra special for this "day of love."

We will be dining in, which is our usual choice.  Restaurants get a bit too wacky for us 

on Valentine's Day.

These have been added to the tablescape.  The Man bought these beauties for me

a couple of days ago.  Tulips are so incredible -- Mother Nature at her best!

                                     

Have a HAPPY, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Internet Challenges!

Hey everyone!  Sorry I've been so absent from blogging, but we are having some issues with our internet service -- ARGH!  We changed to a different phone service and they inadvertently canceled our internet service.  Now we have to wait as if we are getting a new connection (which, essentially we are) & may not have service for up to ten days.  Yikes, I know!  Anyway, I'm on borrowed time writing this, so will keep it short.  I just didn't want anyone to think I had dropped off the face of the earth!  I may or may not be able to grab a few minutes here and there when we are in WiFi zones, we'll see.  Anyway, I'll have plenty of catching up to do when I return.  Now don't ya'll have too much fun without me, okay?  LOL!
