Pink Saturday

I can't believe it's Saturday already! This week seemed to fly by.
I thought today I would show you a couple of pink things in my home.
First up is a couple of pieces of china that my mother gave me. I don't know the name of the pattern but it's really very pretty.



There are beautiful little pink roses throughout and gold around the edges.



The total set has about 100 pieces. There is a cassarole dish, tea pot, creamer, tea cups, you name it. I have most of it in the attic so it doesn't get damaged until I get a china cabinet.



These little plates are in my cabinet for now. Somehow they got seperated from the rest of the set.


There is a mark under each piece.



The next item up is a cute tea-for-one my mother gave me. I love hot tea and this is the sweetest set to make it in.

Pink and roses...

How perfect is that? I love it! And I use it often...which is the best part!!


That's all for today. I hope you enjoyed it. Please stop by Beverly to see more entries. You won't be sorry you did!

Just a few thoughts...

I wanted to show you what happens when you are EXHAUSTED and still try to shave....


Not fun! So now I have a finger brace on so it doesn't get snagged on anything.

Also.... Does anyone know what kind of tree this is? I love, love, love it but have NO idea what it is.


A close up of the flowers...


The trees get covered in these white flowers, then they fall and all the green leaves appear. It's so pretty when the tree us in bloom and it's pretty when it's not. And almost every tree like this grows in that shape.

Next---> I'm not going into details but Papa Bear drank a bit much at the party last weekend and I got new sheets and pillows because of it!


And my Eddie Ross pillow looks perfect on them! Lena pulled a Charlie and ran on the bed when I was fixing it so I had to get a picture.



Well this afternoon, since I am childless I met Lisa at EZ's and had a mushroom with Swiss burger and curly fries.


It was pretty good. But it was NOWHERE near Nics restaurant! After we ate we walked around the shopping area and stumbled upon the Fred Astaire dance studio and walked in to inquire about the prices.


For children it's $125 a lesson... I'm scared to ask what the cost us for adults!

Two posts in one day... I feel productive! But I'm turning in now. One more day to go then o can hopefully sleep in. What plans do you have for this weekend?

Child-free

My mom took my girls out of town to Hallettsville for a few days. I hate to say it but it has been a nice quiet break for me. Since I started homeschoolong the girls I NEVER get s moment of silence in the house. So it's been quiet and I have been catching up on some much needed napping. I've also washed clothes, keep the sink empty of dishes, watched lots of dvr'd shows and checked my blog. I NEVER have any freetime to myself, so I have really taken advantage of this!

Charlie has also taken advantage of having me all to hisself!






He loves his mama!


I didn't have my girls here on St. Patricks day. We probably wouldn't have done much anyway... I would have had to get up early anyway. But I did manage to find something green to wear!



Ever since Charlie was a kitten he loved to jump on the bed while I was fixing it and play umder the sheets. So today when he saw me fixing the bed he ran in my room, jumped on the bed and was ready to play!

I love when he gets in those moods!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do tonight. I'm not used to not fixing dinner fir everyone and fighting with them to get in bed before 11. I guess I will figure it out sooner or later!

Saturday at the Park

Saturday the girls and I wanted to get out and enjoy this beautiful sunny weather. Of course we first stopped at Sonic to get our happy hour drinks.
Leaving Sonic we kinda took the wrong turn and ended up passing this beautiful park. The weather was so pretty and we were hungry for sunlight so we pulled over and parked. We saw this sign ...



This should have stopped us from going in but it didn't!



Last year the girls and I were walking at Stone Oak Park and were chased by a bobcat and we haven't been back to that side if the park since! But MOUNTAIN LIONS!?!? Seriously? As soon as we got out of the car and walked down a short path we saw this pretty bridge...






CC was scared if the bridge but she was the first one in it! You could all these creaks when you walked upon it. It was so neat.





There were pretty, big trees along the sides and a dried up creekbed under us.





I loved the fallen leaves on the bridge. Of course I had to get a photo!


I really really liked all the trees. They provided nice shade fir us as we walked along.


I liked this tree... It was near the end of the bridge.


Once we were off the bridge we saw a large playground where a few parties were taking place. We stuck to the trail...


And happened upon a worn path laeding to....


The creek. We didn't chance going down. Instead we were hit and thirsty and really just wanted our Sonic drinks from the car so we turned around.
We had lots of fun and definately want to go back.

Pink Saturday

Today is my first posting for Pink Saturday. I love the color pink and I couldn't wait to join. Every Saturday morning I get my coffee and while everyone in the house is asleep I settle down and look through lots of the Pink Saturday postings.. and now I finally get to join in the fun!
Recently we went to the Russian grocery store here and I saw such cute varieties of pink I knew I had to share them with yall.

These greeting cards are so cute.... I love the writing...and of course, the pink!
If you have ever been to a Russian candy store you know about the candy!

So many different varieties.....

And all so good! They seem to disappear into thin air as soon as we get them home!

Please stop by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. You will find so many more wonderful pink postings!
