~♥ It's Been Awhile...♥~

Hello friends...I wanted to let you know that I am still around...just haven't had much to blog about.  I've been busy around my home, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying some down time by reading on my porch and deck.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I thought I'd share a few pictures with you...

~♥ This and That ♥~

Hi Friends...sorry I have been out of touch...there's been a lot going on these past few weeks...between graduation, my daughter turning 18 and starting college, plus a dear friends wedding, I haven't had the time to post anything and truthfully, I've been at a loss as to what to blog about...

(Thank you, Colleen N-S, for taking this pictures)

I still can't believe my daughter is 18!

I met Bridget through the wonderful world of blogging - that was several years ago - who knew that our friendship would blossom and that I would be a part of her special day...wishing you and Karl all of the best, dear kindred ♥

Thanks for stopping by...hopefully I'll have more to blog about...I'm going with my friend, Daun, to several yard sales and the local country market on Saturday!

~♥ My Little Girl Is Growing Up ♥~

Where has the time gone...it seems like yesterday I was sending you off to school for your first day of kindergarten and now you're graduating...

A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future. ~Author Unknown
