Our New Townhome

-
These are a few BEFORE pictures of our new townhome. The first one is of the kitchen because I "foolishly" promised David that I would cook every night when I retired. What was I thinking???
These are the french doors into the study which is at the front of the house.
Looking from the back of the house to the staircase to the basement. I can't believe we have a basement. This Native Houstonian never believed that would happen.
OK! This is the bowling alley! Just kidding, this is the basement and it seems as long as a bowling alley. Decorating it is going to be somewhat of a challenge. Any ideas? The first time Caleb saw it, he was ecstatic and of course ran up and down the length of the room over an over.

AFTER pictures to come!

The new town house looks great. I know you will put your own special stamp on it and it will be beautiful. Can't wait to see it in person. I think the basement is a perfect play room.

Can't wait to see it in person. I think you should leave the playroom empty for Caleb to run!

Love Present from a Friend

-

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
