“Do not boast about tomorrow,
    for you do not know what a day may bring.”
Proverbs 27:1

Hello sweet friends!  I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend.  Ours was so special…we spent a lot of time with Ella Mae!  We couldn’t have asked for better weather, it was perfect for playing outside.  But today’s tablescape is inside, so pull up a chair and join me at a blooming table!

You might ask, how is this a blooming table with just a few stems of snowball blooms.  Upon a closer look you will see that the china is blooming, as well as  placemats and napkin rings!

  I found this cute five bottle container at Oakleaf in Highlands, NC.READ MORE

What Is Your Friday Plan ?

~ Easter, Everyday Living, Faith, Holidays, Spring

 

I had a chat this week with a friend at the gym and was reminded of words he had spoken about two years ago. I felt it would be timely and hopefully encouraging to revisit that conversation and the thoughts it triggered, so here we go:

  Last Monday was typical with my usual lunch visit to the gym for a workout. Monday can be a hard gym day if for no other reason than the weekend is over and we are back at it! I usually have a conversation with a guy who is a gym regular (I’ll call him Bob) and we often discuss getting the Monday workout behind us. This week was no exception as Bob and I talked it over. As he was leaving, Bob made a remark that went something like, “you know the good thing about Monday is that it’s only four days ’til Friday”. Only gym talk but this simple chit-chat brought some additional thoughts to my mind.READ MORE
