A GIFT BASKET FOR TINA

It's funny how you can have three daughters

but they can all have different tastes..

Well, Tina and I share the same taste when it comes to

most things in our house and gardens...

We also enjoy giving each other had made things ... and thanks to my
"Blogging Sisters,"

as I like to call them ...I'm always finding new things to make...

Like these great lambs ear balls .. Thanks to Castles at "lottens vita och grona" ..

You've just gotta

check out her blog to see all the wonderful things she makes..

It will make you want to run right out to your garden and

create something.

I also made her the flower in the basket that I learned from

Linda at "Robbin's Egg Blues"

Be sure to visit her blog to find new ideas .. she is also always

having great giveaways. :^)

I was lucky enough to win one of them and it was so much

fun getting her little treasures in the mail.

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINA*

I want an Easter basket like this! I am going to have to give my Mom a hint. I got kicked off the basket list when my siblings started supplying her Grandchildren. Same with Christmas. I am so neglected.

Hi Betty, How are you? It is a team effort but He usually makes what I decorated a little better. We both shop for the treasures. I hope you and your family have a great Easter...Julian

Hi Betty, How are you? I am verry glad that you like the plant stands. And thank you for saying those nice things. I hope you were having a good time gardening earlier. I know I do when im out there. I try to do a little something outside before I go to work. I feel that it prepares me for the obsticale I need to get through at work. And if Im not working in the garden I take a walk in the garden and kind of visit each small section of the garden. It is always nice to read your comments. Have a great day gardening..Julian

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 ...

It's not even my birthday!... I don't think I've ever gotten a gift in the mail for no reason at all .. and don't you just love getting packages in the mail? .. Thank you soo much Rita for all the beautiful things and for making my day soo special... I love you ... Hugz ...Tia Betty

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.
