A MINI GOLDEN DOODLE

Hello, dear friends!

I would like to introduce you to my new BFF, Samantha!

Just Coifed

Her everyday look, lol

She is the sweetest thing ever, and after 3+ years of living without a dog in my life (Ben passed in 2022), I am finally ready to open my heart for this little lady.

My heart is happy again.

Have a great week!

 MIRROR, MIRROR

Hello dear friends!

Well, Spring is on its way and it's got me itching to make some changes and freshen this place up!

Along with plans for my front entry, (last week's post), I'm thinking of painting my bathroom mirror:

What colour you may ask? 

Well, you'll just have to wait and see!

Have a wonderful week!

 FLORALS AND ANIMAL PRINTS, OH MY!

Hello Friends!

What do you think of this inspo pic for my front door entry?

Inspo Pic

I'm thinking of painting my front door hot pink and adding an animal print mat.

Here's the entry:

Also thinking of using this window film on that little window up there.

So pretty!

What do you think? Is the hot pink too much?

If you're working on any Spring projects around the house, please share. 

I'd love hear all about it!

Family

There's a wall in my basement coffee/dessert bar adorned by these images.  Each one represents a family member by their favourite sweet.

The lineup is by age, oldest to youngest. My son doesn't know about the wall of sweets; he's never seen it.

He hasn't seen the renovated kitchen, the rose garden, or the back deck.

And we haven't seen him.

Not since 2012 when he estranged himself from us.

I miss him.

Packing For The Trip

 I am getting organized for a trip to Portugal.

It's been a while since this girl has been on vacation. I'm looking forward to being by the ocean and eating fresh sea food.

We are travelling with two other couples, so it should be fun. I need some laughs.

See you when I get back!

I'm A Work In Progress

Well, I won't lie, losing my best friend, Ben, last summer has really kicked my ass. I haven't found my 'footing' yet, but gardening has kept my head above water at least.

I'm not sure if I will find a new friend, but I am giving fostering some serious thought.

Can't focus on painting, reading or much of anything other than gardening and being outdoors.

What are you up to? 

Hope life is treating you well,

 Hello! Is anybody out there?

I know I've been absent (more absent than usual) but I'm okay.

Life goes on . . . and on ;) And we push forward. 

A memory of happier days.

Hope you're well,
