My latest FUN !

I've found something  I'm pretty good at and I love doing it.I'm so surprised! Altered keys of all things.Now, the question is, where would I get tons of keys no one wants? Within minutes of starting,I knew I liked it.These three, I'm about half way through with. I have tons of old jewelry,beads ect. from my Mother that my  two sisters past up.....

so away I go picking bobbles apart,gluing and glimmering up some old keys.Time goes by really fast-what fun.

 This tag is the last of April tags for someone special.Yes,I know Easter is long gone, but it was still April anyway.

 O.K. Grammie can't help herself.In this little guy, learning to walk, I see so much of myself-sorry Gramps.This ones mine.
"Grams can you move over?I'm going the length of the couch."

lets go shopping-Do you see the pink?Pink Sat. top of My side board to get there

I've been wanting an indoor chandelier with real candles.I'm taking you shopping with Me.I'm open to all ideas,home made-simple or store bought-fancy.So many choices. Then I'll take you out to lunch. Do any of you remember years ago,like in the 50s, fancy stores like bullocks had nice restaurants in them? One of My favorite memories was getting dressed up and My young Aunt would take Me to the huge downtown bullocks.Going up the fancy elevators with the elevator man.Afterward to the bullocks restaurant.what a wonderful day that would be-lets do it again.







 Ready to go to lunch in 1950s bullocks?  :)

CONFUSED BLOGGER -ME

illuminate.


By Ruth Bell Graham: "The lights went out  (aftermath of a sudden storm),trapped in the dark I groped about to light the candles and a fire to keep me warm;wondering how men manage,who have no fire,no candlelight to company them some stormy night."

One little light of mine....and  one of yours.... joined  together  will illuminate the path




See The Way?-Go this way...

Lets light up this dark world with His light-the only light.
I want to let it shine.

Mouse size place settings for Pink Saturday

This morning under the pink sky I was having trouble sleeping because I kept thinking about all my pretty place settings I will be having once I have My bariatric surgery.There are many ladies out there  I realize that would not be able to relate with me on this ,but I know there must be a few of you who would be dreaming of all the new tiny place settings you would be dinning on after your appetite was mouse size.Well,I've been perusing the stores for tiny dishes.Pier One Imports has been great for that.So please still join Me .We'll still have great fun.

You may have a cookie
or a bariatric delight from My private chef,Paul.
On tiny blessed servings
iddy biddy
they may be......But won't it be fun. At The Home Store,I found a very small Villeroy and Boch tea cup that I will be sipping from.

V&B

My Bariatric surgery looks like it will be in June.I have a lot of time to build up more mouse size table settings.A fun way to get ready for surgery,I know you kindred souls will agree.Have a wonderful Saturday-keep it pink  with our friend Beverly at How Sweet The Sound.You'll find her at the top of My side bar.

"Monday Monday, Can't trust that day."Now I can ; D

The MAMA'S and PAPA's sang to us of what Monday's could be like.No,I don't remember all the words by heart,but I remember the feel-blue Mondays ,if I remember right?Yes, I've had that blue Monday feeling many times.In the 50s not wanting to leave the comforts of My parents home.Not wanting to get in that school dress.

    Busy days away from Mom.
Then High School....Oh dear !Was I as pretty as all the other "Popular Girls."Could I stay in that higher group of pretties the whole time or would I fad out any day now?Good Ol' Whittier High.









Nursing school and College..... exciting, but Oh the work and... "Please Lord help Me make it through these test." Then Finally,I found out what it meant to get up every morning at 5:15 am with the alarm and pray in the car on the freeway"Dear Lord,Help Me retain all that you taught Me,bring it to mind at the right time-PLEASE- don't let Me kill anyone today,Amen."Every day ! Are you young ladies sure you really want to be a nurse?


Then helping My children go through the same things....
AAAHHH -The later years, retirement!What a Joy.. .....new laughter, new color,new joys every Monday.Listen to the birds... watch the dolphins play....kiss My new Grandbabies.Kiss My Paul while the Lord allows -Thank You Lord God for all My later year Mondays to come.
One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
