HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIET
*BIRTHDAYS*
January, February and March are our "birthday months" ... We have so many birthdays at this time of the year that it makes your head spin ... Although every single one of them is so important, we sometimes just can't celebrate each one like we should .. But we all know we are special and that we are loved by our big family.
There have been all kinds of parties and celebrations, some are big and some may be having pizza at our local pizza place ..but we always have fun.
One of the celebrations that stands out in our family memories is the one where my son-in-law invited about 20 people over for an early brunch since my dauther Jennifer works nights he knew she would be sleeping ... he had us all stand around her bed and outside their big picture window were everyone could look in and she could see everyone outside. ...Well, she woke up to a bunch of "fire crackers" that he lit outside the window... Oh yeah! ...It was not pretty when she jumped up out of a dead sleep ... Saying .."what the hell"!!!! along with a few other words #@%$$#&**##@!!!! .. especially when she raealized that there were 15 people standing around her bed.. she wanted to kill her dear hubby ..but she laughed and has never forgotten her 40th birthday ......So that tells you what kind of a family we have ... there's always something that is good for a laugh ...and it makes for great dinner stories.... So I am saying ....* HAPPY BIRTHDAY* to all of us who will be or has been celebrating a birthday .... I love you all ..and I am blessed. :^)
So that gives you an idea of what kind of a family we are ...

Yard sale weekend
Last Saturday was a city wide yard sale in a near by beach town called Morro Bay ...it's about a 15 minute drive from our town ...I went with two of my daughters, Julie and Jennifer. ..They picked me up at 6:30 am ...we wanted to be the "early birds" so we could get the best "prizes" ..of course everyone else had the same idea ... Tina, our oldest daughter also followed in her car with cousin Pam ... we had to take two cars to have enough room for our treasures ... good thing we did take two cars because they were both 'packed' when we came home ... It was such a fun day. One of the things I bought was a service for 12 set of Spring looking dishes .. but when I put them on my table they just 'didn't work for me' ..so Tina is going to try to sell them at her yard sale next weekend.... You can't win them all.

Hi Betty, That is a beautiful porch to relax on. I bet it is a nice cool place to enjoy during the Summer. Have a good day...Julian
ReplyDeleteHi Betty - Love the "now" & 1915 photos of your house! How grand it must be to live in an old house, I've wanted to do that all my adult life but probably will never achieve it - We've lived in our house since 1974 & Mr. Cottage Way of Life is not a big fan of change or moving. :-) Love the photo of your porch too, what a great place to curl up with an iced tea & a good book. That blue bike planter looks super in your garden, looks like that part of your garden is all set for the tour & I bet the garden tour folks will be mad for it when it comes time for the garden tour!

Hi Betty! The moss just kind of followed me from South Carloina. When we were there this past Nov. I am glad you enjoyed the urns. Have your self a good Mother's day....Julian
ReplyDeleteBetty,
ReplyDeleteI think if I suddenly just appeared on your porch, you would just make me a glass of lemonade and sit down and we would have the time of our lives telling stories to each other.
Happy Mother's Day! Remind me to stop over more, I'm kind of losing it some days!
Kate
PS- okay, who am I kidding? I am losing it most days!
Another PS- and can I tell you that your grandson is totally hot? I am really sorry, but I just had to tell you, and I don't think I am old enough to be his mom...
okay, I'll go now, before I embarrass myself even more. Now you know why my kids don't want to go out in public with me!
Your porch looks so peaceful and I love the bike, the splash of color is so fun!
