Spring Break For the Older Crowd.

-
I had an awesome Spring Break!
My BFF and I looked at Antiques, went to the beach and the river for a moment and I made some new friends.


Basically my spring break started like this:


and ended like this:


With some stress And fun mixed in between!










My Prince Valiant!


 sorry, I dislike pictures of food unless they are done by a food stylist and professional photographer but my friend's lunch looked so yummy I couldn't resist!


neither could they!

Okay, I was plotting what I would do if I just won a percentage of that Mega Million!



But I think I may have to settle for the portable beach house above.


didn't see any!










did some antique window shopping then headed home.



I had my first annual physical in a very long time!
Until recently, I was one of those Americans without health insurance. I'm thanking God for preserving my health during that time, and for the pleasant visit I had (praying that the blood tests and x-rays don't reveal anything unpleasant, except for the fact that I'm getting older).


Back at home, I attempted to make things as Beachy as possible!
the sound of the washing machine is similar to the crashing waves at Tybee...
maybe not?


Back to Work!

Your pictures are lovely. I am glad your physical went well and that you had a restful holiday. I think we all were daydreaming about the mega million draw. Alas, there is always next time. Have a wonderful Sunday. Bonnie

Can someone please tell me what the key is to publishing a successful blog? Do I need to be a better photographer, a better decorator, figure out how to do 'giveaways', take a daily picture of my dog wearing a wig,  make a masterpiece out of popsicle sticks and paint, rant about the challenges of motherhood even though I'm not one????? What's the secret?  I have 10 followers and most blogs that I read have at least 500 (some have thousands)! I thought I did a pretty thorough job of chronicling my bathroom renovation and I'm incredibly pleased with how it turned out, yet I have ZERO comments on that post! I've even posted it on other sites and I think they've been deleted!!!! Is it the shiny brass, the white grout on the subway tile, the lack of wallpaper, the commonplace choice of color? WHAT?! Maybe I need to provide a service, like selling a product on an Etsy page?  Anybody need some flower pots made from recycled coffee cans? I'm starting to doubt...

Give me time to understand what you want of me.  3. Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being.  4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.  5. You have your work, your entertainment,and your friends. I only have you.  6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understands your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.  7. Be aware that how ever you treat me, I will never forget.  8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.  9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative,obstinate,or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out to long, or my heart i...

Zero Budget D.I.Y.

It Cost Absolutely Nothing to Dream! So I'm tired of making excuses about my old timey orange bathroom. I have house guests coming in two weeks and we'll be doing the bathroom shuffle . My house has two baths but the hall bathroom has been in a state of transition since 2007 when I sold the old sink and attempted to take the wall paper down. The toilet and claw foot tub work fine but the two layers of partially ripped down wall paper and resulting exposed plaster make me wince . I have a beautiful brass shower sprayer from Sign of the Crab that's been sitting quietly in it's box for 5 years (back when I had a six-figure job and six-figure dreams to match). I also have a cherrywood sink base that I purchased 7 years ago when Floor & Decor went out of business (I never bought the sink top because I thought I'd create something much more interesting with marble...never got around to it).  I really need lots of storage in there so a pedestal isn't practic...
