Another "Grand Production"

Had a wonderful weekend with my Aunt Cookey and her Friends in Holdenville this past weekend...I was asked to decorate a table ...and of cousre I said yes to another "Grand Production"

 Love the Vintage feel of the table...

 The More stuff the better!!!

 My Aunt C had bought some napkins that said...The nice part about living in a small town:
When you don't know what your're doing someone else always does...How true ...and most of the time it is a good thing...I love my small town(not very small anymore) and I have such great memories of visiting Holdenville throughout my life...

Well another "Grand Production" done and we all had a great time!!! Can't wait till next year!!!

  Last night was my Grandson's first T-Ball game...How fun... Just watching those little guys was awesome...
  Life brings us so many things...I have noticed that I have seen some of my old friends because of picking up grandkids at school and now ball games...it is so nice to reconnect and see "Our" kids be Mom's & Dad's...

Love Spring

I absolutely LOVE Spring...God knew how happy it would make everyone...

Look how beautiful His beauty is...

I don't know about you ...but as a child I loved this "beautiful" sign of Spring...it is like alot of things; when you grow -up you realize that the beautiful flower was in true reality a WEED...I really don't care it still is a sign of Spring and a very pretty Purple...

And then there are the signs of Spring that makes you realize YOU need to get busy in the flower beds and pull the WEEDS...

and the blooming of the trees is always so beautiful...How did He come up with so many different things of Beauty???

and last but not least...one of my favorite plants...money-wart...mine was so lush last summer and I am so excited to see signs of green after such a hard Winter...

Well I hope you enjoy my look at early Spring and take time to see God's beauty around you...B

Snow Blizzard 2011...

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholders...

I am just glad we don't live in Tulsa...I have been in the house 1 day and am going stir crazy...can you imagine weeks of this??? we are so lucky to live in Oklahoma...where if you wait 15 minutes the weather can be totally different...got to love being an Okie...

Well since it is so very cold it seems like Chili weather...

I can and probably should make it from scratch...but why??? Mom used to use the McCormick Chili mix when we were kids and it is really good so I do it the easy way...Frito Chili Pie...Mmmmm!

Hope you all stay warm and don't go to stir crazy...Hope it melts soon...Brenda
