"MY NEW GREEN WELCOME BENCH"


NEW WELCOME BENCH
Today I want to show off my new welcome bench.
I have always had a bench ju
st outside my back entry door
but had repainted it and put it in my craft room.
So my daughter Janet
te and her hubby, Jerry
decided my backdoor entry looked bare and
since they just reopened
their Antique Shoppe, they
secretly made me a new bench.
Not only is it green but they put
"WELCOME"
and burnt little hummingbirds on each end of the welcome.
We both lov
e hummingbirds.
They once gave me a " Black Hills" Gold ring with hummingbirds on it.
Now for a picture of my new bench, which I love,♥ love , ♥ love .♥♥

The rooster is my addition to the bench.
I got him on a trip to Atlanta to visit my other daughter, Deb.
I think he has been on my blog before with all my other chickens.

I hope you enjoy seeing my new green welcome bench with
"Spot
'n Check"
my prize rooster.
Be sure to go by Kelly's and check out all the other entries on

♥~♥ GREAT TIME WITH FAMILY ♥`♥

♥ WHAT A SPECIAL TIME WITH MY FAMILY ♥

I've just spent 10
days with my family.
Janette came from Michigan on the 10 th.
Debbie came from
Georgia on the 11th.
We spent the week just enjoying being together .
we all went shopping one day.
( out to eat at a Chili's)
Bought a new floo
r steam cleaner
and put the g
irls to work. LOLI need to keep them with me to do deep cleaning.
They both wanted one of the cleaners so I ordered each one.

John and Josh came from Atlanta to pick up Deb & Hannah and we all
had a special time with my sister. She made a delicious dinner for all of us.


We then went out and made tons of pictures.
Josh had the experience of his lifetime... got to shoot his Uncle's pistol and rifle.
He shot at watermelons... missed with pistol but was better with the rifle, since he was great at paintball.

We then had seconds of desert...
What a wonderful family "get-together".

Now I'm home alone and very lonely but I'll adjust.
♥♥♥♥♥♥
HAPPY BLOGGIN'

~ ♥ ~ A TRUE FRIEND INDEED ~♥~





I am forever grateful for my friend, Kath who just made my day yesterday. When I went to post office I had this yellow card in my box.

So I take it to the window and to my surprise she hands me a box and it was from my dear friend Kath.

Needless to say I broke the speed limit getting home to open it.
OH MY GOODNESS !! WHAT A THRILL !!
HERE ARE SOME OF THE SPECIAL THINGS SHE SEND TO ME..

"JUST BECAUSE"

that is just the beginning... wait til you see the res t

oh I'm just drooling over all these special precious prim items.
now you all know I can't drop and drag worth a hoot , so from bottom to top there is are some sweet , sweet gifts with a card that made my eyes water just a bit..
then just above that is .... Oh ! I can't talk, I'm so weepy and choked up !!
It's one of Kath's special Pineapples.. I have a special place for it.
so I just had to make a
"Kath's Wall"
in my kitchen..
I love it ... just love it..
Isn't that the most precious thing anyone could do for you!!!
I tell you, I stand in the kitchen,,, not cooking, mind you... no
just admiring my
KATH'S WALL
I can't talk any more. Bring me a box of kleenex..
Kath, I love you !!
HAPPY BLOGGIN'
