Fun Little Updates

Helllloooo!!!!

Just wanted to share a few things that have been going on.

First...have you ever had a friend

that fits you like a glove?

Well my friend like that is Julie.

And she just had a birthday on June 27th.

We are SO much alike it's not even funny.

EXCEPT she does not like the color

PINK.

What the???

But I overlook that because she is just amazing.  :o) 

And I'm making her supper on July 26th.

It will be a great night!

So, with all this said.

Heeeeerrrreeee's Julie! 

(Think of Ed introducing Johnny Carson)

I she just not as cute as cute can be??

Love you, Julie!

So we had the Smith reunion at our house last weekend.

It was a GREAT turnout, however,

I didn't get pictures of the people here.

Yep, I'm a dork.

But my sister-in-law did, so I'll have to figure out

how to get them off Facebook.

Here's a few of the decorations I did.

I'm so glad the guys let me 'chic out' the man shed a bit.

hee hee

FYI - the man shed is still a work in process.

And one of the center pieces.

 And the 4' x 8' food table

(which ended up being totally too small!)

But it was a GREAT day.

Wonderful company

Great food

Many, many blessings!

And here's just a random picture I took last night.

Jesse and I were watching the DVD

for season 2 of Dexter

(OMG this show is thrilling!!)

And I noticed the sunlight beaming in on the

hydrangea's that my good friend, Cyndi, grew for me.

I thought you might enjoy it.

(I LOVE dried hydrangea's like there's no tomorrow!)

And here's a view of what I planted this year and the end of our patio.

There's honeysuckle in the middle trellis and a clematis on each of the side trellis's.

The honeysuckle seems to be thriving.

So if the clematis decide they don't like it here,

I'll plant a couple more honeysuckle there next here.

Here's to honeysuckle!

Yarrow decided to randomly start growing by our wood pile.

I LOVE how this happened.

Mother Nature at her best.

And I'm sure you're wondering how pretty my lilies have opened up.

I mean,

what else do you have to think about?

LOL

I have to say that the wind has not been kind to them,

but I was able to capture a picture before they didn't look so well anymore.

So that's a little bit of stuff that's been happening at my place!

Hope you all have a great day!!
