Jeanne, very tastefully decorated and looks like you can leave it all out for awhile. One of my hydrangeas is coming back so hopefully I'll be able to dry some one of these years. Your tulips are way ahead of mine. Ours grew alot this past week in between snow storms and sun tho. Jane, red tulips are the only ones the deer don't care for at DD's!LOL She finally quit planting the other colors for this reason. Adorable picture...I also had one of those red hats when I was a little cowgirl. DM use to make all of our fancy western shirts growing up. Most of the time we wore Levis and cowboy boots too. Hope you get better every day. Several have bronchitis and whooping cough around here. I'm blaming our weather for this! One has to wear layers to be comfortable these days. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful decor with us. I sure enjoyed looking. Punk

(I'm sad my vacation is over too!) lydia1959, thank you and WELCOME, you will find lots and lots of talented people here, it is a very friendly and loving group of people! My Blog is from www.blogspot.com You just select at the top to "Create Blog" and go from there. Actually my blog is VERY Plain compaired to other bloggers, I am not very computer techie, so all the cool stuff just goes over my head. Alot of people like Typepad too. BlogSpot is free....I think Typepad has a fee charge of some amount????? But don't let that stop you from posting here with pictures or not, we all got to start somewhere LOL Ah, Jane, I know what you mean, I have done that myself, and sure enough wish I had bought them when I had seen them. the good thing about those dishes are, they pop up all thru the year, in TJ MAX, Marshalls, and Ross stores, so there is still hope! :) Karen, thanks for adding that link to the album, there is certainly lots of eyecandy and inspiration there, thanks for doing that for everyone!!!

What an amazing way to tour our wonderful country. I'm training for an 11 mile bike ride for a triathlon, and cannot even fathom the distance you have done. Eighty miles in one day??!!! I am in awe, and high fiveing you from NJ- stay strong and safe the rest of your trip! -Polly

Glenda, and the pretty one on the left. You are one stylish lady. Know you are a great friend to all of your friends. Yes, isn't Merle Norman make up wonderful. I was first introduced to it in 1960 and never stopped using it. May have tried some others, but is always the one I go back to. I am very fair skinned and its hard to find makeup that is light enough for my skin. Merle Norman works perfect for me. Know you had a wonderful day with your friends.
