April Showers and Random Things

Wow, I can hardly believe that it has been a month since I last posted!

I guess I can catch you up on a few things, and hopefully begin regular posting again.

It has been steadily raining here for the past day, and this morning as well.

I am amazed at how beautiful and green everything turned overnight! 

First time this Lady Banks Rose has bloomed like this.

Our Cherokee Rose that is always in full bloom.

For us who live in South Georgia, we have had a long cold winter, and we are welcoming Spring!

Last weekend was a very productive one for us, and we spent all of Saturday on outside projects.

The Adirondack chairs have been cleaned, stained and resealed.

Front porch swing got the same, both porches pressure washed. 

All of my Christmas cactus' have been re-potted and some geraniums started. 

Came across this picture of my two favorite guys that I thought I would share.

My sweet husband will be headed to Turkey in a few weeks. I would appreciate your prayers.

and in other news, these two will be getting married in September, and we are very excited for them. 

Next post I will show you my little bird nest project. 

Praying you all have a blessed Easter as we celebrate our risen Lord!

This and That, again!

I know that my posts have been very sporadic and sparse. My life feels a little sporadic, and not
 scheduled these days. With all that said, here is a little of what I have been up to.

We have been enjoying the cooler temperatures here. This morning it was a wonderful 57 degrees! We even have lots of leaves falling. Hints of fall for sure! A welcome relief after the scorching temperatures that we have had this summer!

We attended my best friend's, son's wedding out of town this weekend, and I was responsible for decorating for the rehearsal dinner. All of the decorating was done on a budget. Since I have a small supply of decor that I gladly lend, everything we used was either free, borrowed, or loaned to us, with the exception of the apples, and ribbons that were used to tie the napkins. One day I will have to put together a post on some of the budget ideas that I have used. The table runners are actually tablecloths that were folded to make runners Wal-Mart after fall clearance last year, $2.00 ea. I used them in February for a friend's, daughter wedding reception.

Last but not least, I got to spend time with this little one. Since he started walking, I can barely get him to be still long enough for a picture. The 50 cent thrift store outfit that I bought him a while back was pretty cute for his wedding outfit.

Blessings to you all!

Happy Anniversary!

One year ago today, this sweet couple was getting married!

I just happen to be the proud Mom and proud Mom-In-Law.

It is hard to believe, that a year has past, and this time last year, we were in full swing with wedding preparations. I thought it might be fun to share some of the wedding memories and a few pictures with all of you. See this was a wedding done on a budget, and we did most of the preparation of decorations and food ourselves, with the help of family and friends. I think I have a list of what to do, and what not to do, what worked, and what probably would have worked better. You see hind sight is always 20-20. Have a blessed week. Jackie
