UPS Delivers!
Hey everyone! I think that I'm maybe on the "road to recovery." This illness
really knocked me for a loop, but I feel much, much better today. Yay!!! I do
so appreciate all the "get well" wishes that have been streaming in from all my
good friends out in blogland. Ya'll are truly the best!
A few weeks ago I was the lucky recipient of a Give-Away from the very
sweet Vanessa & Heather from At the Picket Fence. This was part of their
post & you just had to do the usual things to get your name in the pot for
a random drawing:

It's An Etsy Giveaway! Meet Our April Etsy Store!
by Kim from
My Domestic Bliss
Well, I had been following Vanessa long before she linked up with
her sister, Heather, & started this wonderful new & fun blog; and
I had also already been following Kim & had an immediate
connection because she and my sweet DIL were expecting babies
at almost the same time. (They ended up being 1 week apart).
Needless to say, I was all in for this give-away. And GUESS WHAT?
I won!!!! I was so thrilled & immediately went shopping.

Since ya'll know I've been sick this past week, you can well imagine
what a boost it was when the UPS man rang my doorbell. It probably
wasn't too uplifting for him to see me like that, but they always smile
anyway! This is what he delivered.

Yay, a box with my name on it, & I see immediately that
it's from Kim!
it's from Kim!
Oh, the anticipation! I do this with Christmas & birthday gifts, too.
LOL!!!
TA-DA!!!
This is the cutest little frame, just a little chippy and worn.
Perfect!
My 3 treasures! Dog of Flanders, Rin Tin Tin, & Spike of Swift River.
Does anyone remember the movie "Dog of Flanders?"
I love that this is hand-written inside the cover of the Rin Tin Tin book.
This is also inside the book.
Wow, does this ever bring back memories!
I love having this history to go along with the book.
My plan for these wonderful treasures is to use the frame for
a photo that The Man & I do each year of us with all the "Grands."
That photo, along with the wonderful books will go on some display
shelves in the guest room in our new house. This room will be most
often used by our grandchildren, so I intend to have things in that
space that they can relate to. The Man and I are both really looking
forward to reading these stories to the kiddos, even the ones
who are old enough to read for themselves. I see this
as a really special thing for us to share with them.
For some of you young "whipper-snappers" these won't mean
much, but I think there are some others who will enjoy my
little "shared" walk down memory lane. Thanks for stopping
by and please come again soon.
It only seems right that I should link this to:

Nice Blogging Friends
Hey everyone! I hope ya'll had a truly wonderful Easter. The Man was sick all last week, like stay home from work sick -- very bad cold & cough. By Saturday, I was starting to feel the first signs of the sickness & started popping Zinc lozenges & taking extra Vit. C. Don't know if those things work, but I know they won't hurt. By Sunday, I was feeling worse. Yay, Happy Easter to us!
The really bright spot of my Easter morning was a very sweet Email from Janelle @ Of Pinks and Fairytales. She left me a message regarding my post about the blooming cactus & then added "By the way, I am passing the 'Versatile Blogger' award to you. I know you have this 'Award Free Blog' sign on your page, haha but I really love your blog so I included you in my list anyway :)

I just thought it was so sweet of Janelle, who lives in the Philippines with her hubby and adorable little girl, Andrea, to give me this award knowing I wouldn't participate further. I decided what I can do is encourage all of you to go visit Janelle's blog Of Pinks and Fairytales, and see for yourself just how talented she is.
I'm a bit worse today, but holding off on my judgement of the Zinc & Vit. C until I see how long it takes me to get well. Just hung out on the sofa today, catching up on "Bethany Happily Ever-After." Seriously, do you ever watch daytime TV? There is nothing of any value on the tube. Anyway, it was something to watch while I blogged & napped, but now I'm really craving "Skinny Girl Margaritas," which is Bethany's new creation that is supposed to be flying off the shelves. What can I say, I was heavily medicated with NyQuil! LOL!!!
I'll be playing it pretty low-key in posting for a few days, but enjoying just checking in on my blog friends. You are all truly the best! As always, thanks for stopping by and please come again soon.
