My First Bloom!

I just love Camilla bushes. I have always wanted one. I have tried several but in the past they have always died. Well last year I tried again (hey what can I say I never give up:) Here is a picture of my first bloom. It was absolutely perfect!


The bush is still a little guy but I'm hoping one day it will be just covered in flowers!

Passing the Time

What do you do on a cold night?...


Build a fire and...


play a little Texas Hold'em!



Believe it or not Celia and I tied!!! We had exactly the same hand...


This was her reaction! Pure shock and amusement!

I lost, but oh well, luckily is wasn't real money:)

A New Birthday Celebration

We don't usually have a birthday to celebrate in February but Keely has now given us a reason to have cake (like we needed one:)

Gifts to open...


a wish to make...


The proud birthday girl with her sweetie.

It was a very nice birthday with wishes for many more!

Six Years of Love

Every year for the last six years my honey has sent me a cuddly Valentine Bear from Godiva Chocolate for Valentine's Day!


Today this little guy came in the mail with...


this yummy box of chocolates that just melt in your mouth.


Here is a line up of all the little guys...boy that was a lot of chocolate through the years! But it was delicious!

Hope you have a special Valentine's Day!

Happy First!

A very Happy First Birthday Wish to our little Chubby Cheeks!

BFF

Friends are a treasure especially ones from as far back as grammar school. Mom and Daddy had a very special visit from Mom's BFF (best friend forever:-) Irma and Charles.


It was like no time had passed...the memories and stories were very fun to listen to.


And yes if you were looking closely in the other picture you probably saw Mom's new fashion statement in shoes! She chipped a bone in the top of her foot. I told her if she wanted more attention all she had to do was say so :-)

Watching the Grass Grow

Well it has been a little while since the last post. Things have been quiet around here...that's a good thing!!!


We're here just watching the grass grow!!!
