Ya Know???

| April 7, 2010

If you’ve known me long enough you know I’m an animal lover.  As a kid my sisters and I would rescue stray & injured cats, birds, bunnies, squirrels, raccoons and even snakes.  We’d nurse them back to health and some would stay and some we’d have to turn loose.  I still have to feed the strays [...]

Woke Up Feeling Yummy : )

| February 24, 2010

It happened!  And it was nice!  Euphoric. A sense of Well-Being, like all was right with the World : )  That’s how I felt when I  woke up this morning and it was, well I don’t know how else to describe it other than, Yummy. You might be wondering what I was dreaming about! Well…..there was nothing Sexual [...]

Snow Fences

| February 16, 2010

  Even though I live in Florida I still long for the whites of winter and the frosty window panes and windshields.  I’m silly I know but it’s just my hometown roots.  I just remembered the snow fences along the back roads in the farmers fields.  The fences were put up to stop the snow from [...]

It Melted My Heart!

| February 13, 2010

I treated myself to a nice soak in the tub and lit this McCall’s Cabin Scents Candle for the soft candlelight and aroma therapy I so much needed.  When I snuffed out the flame I noticed this precious heart at the very tip of the wick!  How sweet for Valentine’s Day.  Now I don’t want to [...]

What’s Love Got To Do With It!

| February 4, 2010

 To My Valentine, You’re Sweet, I Love You, Hug Me, Sweet Talk, Be Mine, Kiss Me.  Remember all those messages on the Necco Sweetheart Candies?  It was always fun to read the loving words.  I didn’t like the candy very much though. LOL  Now the messages are a bit different then they were from back in my [...]

Remembering Baby Doll

| January 27, 2010

So-Wee Baby Doll Sun Rubber Co My Baby Doll from the mid-’50′s still sits on a shelf in my bedroom.  She’s not been played with in years. But rather is tucked back in the corner of the nightstand where I catch glimpses of her from time to time.  She jogs my memory of times past. Her [...]

Mother Nature at Her Finest : )

| January 23, 2010

Mother Nature paid us a visit yesterday morning.  Here’s our resident Bald Eagle drying her wings in the Pine snag across the street from Quaint.  We had a nasty downpour the night before and she was soaked.  I watched her from a distance for many minutes before she was content enough to go back to [...]

Melt In My Mouth Yumminess!

| January 7, 2010

Ohhhh Myyyyy Gosh!  My BFF Pam just brought me the most sinfully decadent pieces of pie I’ve ever eaten.  I just couldn’t wait to take a bite! LOL!!!  Yes, there are 3; no, make that 2-1/2 pieces left on the plate but what do you want to bet my hubby doesn’t get a piece!  Heck, they might not even [...]

Warm To the Bottom of My Toes : )

| January 4, 2010

There’s nothing as warm and cozy as getting wrapped up in your favorite blanket and curling up with a good book and cup of hot chocolate on a chilly day.  It’s very chilly here in Florida right now and I had a “hankering” for a good cup of Hot Chocolate.  My favorite secret stash of cocoa powder was [...]
