EASTER BLESSINGS

In your Easter Bonnet . . .

Remember when everyone wore hats?

My daughters, Cheryl & Carol wore these

My Grammy Johnson wore this one

My friend, Linda gave this one to me years ago

this was my mother's winter hat
and this was hers
and this was one of her "Easter Bonnets"
and this one...gotta love that orange!

this was my grammy's hat
this was another one of my mom's Easter hat

and another one


I love hats...and of course collect them

this was my grammy's hat & purse

I wish we still wore hats!

I still love them!

Easter is all about. . .

It's That Time Again . . .

This Sunday morning...

it's time to spring forward one hour!

Does that mean spring is just around the corner?

I think so! Poppies are blooming everywhere here in California!

FEBRUARY...THE MONTH OF LOVE

Happy Valentine's Day

A few words on love. . .

IT'S A NEW YEAR!

TIME MARCHES ON...A NEW YEAR IS HERE!

I hope you’ll have every reason to dance...

the whole year through!

Just a "few" vintage clocks I have around my home...

and I'm still collecting!

This old Big Ben is my very favorite...

it belonged to my Grandpa Johnson...

it woke him up every morning for years.

This is my newest clock...a Burpee Seed Clock...

it tells you when to plant seeds & bulbs.

HAVE A BLESSED 2008!

Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays Everyone!

I thought I would post a few pictures of my home at Christmas time...AND...because my daughter was bugging me to post them. So now I ask her...where are YOUR Christmas decoration pictures?

Christmas Tree #1...

I love Nativity Sets And I love swags...

And wreaths...

Did I mention I love Nativity sets? Sleigh bells ring...are you listening?

Vintage Christmas Postcards...
This vintage postcard was given to my Grammy Johnson, by her father, when she was a young girl...

This book "O Little Town of Bethlehem" was given to my Grammy when she was very young...
Oh my...another one...
My other Christmas tree...

Yep...it's another one...The carolers...

My snowman corner...


My Santas...

Yet another...and I didn't even put them all out this year!



Have a Blessed Christmas!

Our Return to Pinecrest

Our Return to the Pinecrest area in Memory of Amy.

Pinecrest Lake is such a peaceful part of California…located by Dodge Ridge Ski Resort.

The weather was much the same as it was a year ago when Amy left us.

It snowed… and snowed...
My poor little V-Dub was so cold!
It's the first time I've had it in the snow!...poor baby!

Then down to Sonora to watch John's granddaughter's play soccer. It was much warmer in Sonora!

GOOOOOO! Victoria!GOOOOOO! McKenzie!It was beautiful up there...Fall is in the air!
