What a Mess!

How many of you have a closet that you just don't want to think about?  Well, that is our guest room closet.  We just dump everything in there that we don't know what to do with.  I decided to tackle it but, it wasn't one of my better ideas after having allergy issues for the last week.  Couldn't be house dust could it, oh no!  Anyway, I drug everything out of the closet and here are a few pictures.  Do you see anything you might want?  It's up for grabs.

I have already thrown away one large black garbage bag full of things out of this closet.  There are things that I find so hard to do away with.  One, a glorious green purse.  I haven't really ever used it, but I love it.  How can I throw that away. !!!

Tomorrow, I will try to finish it up and show after pictures.

Bombing

15 years ago today, tragedy struck Oklahoma City and our nation. 

This is the fence where visitors have hung personal items to honor the dead.  There is

everything you can imagine hanging here.

This is a  beautiful memorial.  If you ever have  a chance, please go and visit.  I have been there many many times, and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.  This truly is an example of man's inhumanity to man.  The city/state/nation have done a remarkable job on the museum.  There is a small admission fee but, it is well worth it.  It is a unique experience and one you will never forget. 

 Peace and God Bless!

Easter pics

Our third day of steady rain, here in the heartland.  I know the farmers and the water  table are loving it, but it is getting a little boring now.  I guess we shouldn't complain until it gets to 40 days, then we'll talk boring.

Here are new pictures of our precious boy.  He loved Easter, well let's say, he loved the candy and toys in his basket.

I just love these with him standing in front of the Easter lilies.  Have a great rest of the weekend!

More feverish rambling

Happy Friday, I can remember in those days when hubs and I both worked, it seems like we just existed from Monday til Friday and our  real life was Saturday and Sunday. How did I get off on that. Must be the fever.

Our household has been  inundated with something. At first, we thought it was allergies since, the pollen count here is off the charts. Then all of us got this nagging cough, runny nose and overall just feeling lousy. Have I whined enuf yet? Oh wait, I can whine more, hubs coughs all night, up and down, I can' t  sleep when---------- oh well, that's enough of that.

I have recent purchases to show you but that will have to wait for a better day. We have had rain all day today and, it is supposed to continue thru the weekend. We had all planned to go to the OU Spring Game tomorrow, however, it is supposed to be rainy. Don't think this hacking, snotting family needs to be sitting in the rain. What do you think? Please forgive me for being so graphic but, my fever made me do it.

I promise I will try to do better. Hope you all have a sunny, warm, glorius weekend and if not that, just a fun one.!

Have a super spring weekend one and all!!!

Thankful Thursday

These are a few of the things I am thankful for:

• for my Lord and Savior
• for a family who loves me and I love in return and all the fun times together
• for these breezy nice days after a long cold winter
• for roses just getting ready to bloom
• for all these little birds singing and building new nests
• for my home
• for plenty to eat and clothes to wear
• for new shoes when others have none
• for friends, both old and new ones
• for health, mine and my husbands, both of us in our 70's
• for books and the ability to read
• for my television with which I spend lots of time
• for this computer, even though some days it drives me to distraction

Have a great day everyone and take a minute to remember what you are thankful for today.

Our Room

As you know, we live with our daughter and family. We have our own space upstairs. It's quite large with its own bath. I love seeing where you bloggers live so here goes, a few pictures of where we live.

This is my husbands wardrobe and here's Mr. Busybody checking it out.

Mr. Busybody playing with a comforter, a tent will probaby quickly follow!

This was a gift, a prayer shawl from the middle east but, I can't remember where.  It's really beautiful.

And yes, if you must know, this basket is full of books that I want to read.  I also have a kindle,however, I have been reading blogs lately and everything is running over.

Love the toothpick.

Sorry for the flash in the first picture.  This may be one of my favorite projects.  I t  was one of my first counted cross stitch projects.  I just love the little girls with there ribbon kites.  I really enjoyed working on this one.  I haven't cross stitched since Quinn was born.  Counting little x's and needles is just not too feasible with a little one around.

Still have the other side of the room to show so, more later.

Hope you have a fantastic Wednesday!

Too much

I've got a problem. Since I got involved in this bloggin, it seems that all I do is read your wonderful blogs. There are things I need to do, however, I still sit here and read. Everyday, I add more beautiful blogs. I did get some painting done but, this afternoon all I did was read and try to put a grab button on, of course, to no avail. Got the button on, but no content for you to c and p. I have got to figure out some means of getting this done. I have tried so many tutorials from google search. I guess I am must  be grab button deficient. Anyway, if any of you know of a t-tor. that might help me or a method of reading, please let me know. I did get a mosaic online today so that was a great accomplishment for me. Have a good evening one and all.
