~Two Sweet Days~ Pink Saturday And Mothers Day

Welcome to Pink Saturday and A Happy Mothers Day to all you Mama's! To make our Pink Saturday rounds of luscious blogs celebrating these two special events, just go to Beverly's and there you can roam to your hearts content! Just scroll down to where all the little buttons/links are. Thank you, Beverly, for being hostess to our favorite event!

These days have been full haven't they? Pink Saturday is to be a fun day with no heavy troubling drama, but we can't forget those who have lost so much in the wake of horrendous tornados and now massive, crippling floods. They need our support in any way we can give and they need our prayers to stay strong. I have been happy to hear that the Red Cross and the people in the area that were not affected by the tornado have come out strong with everything from water to p.j.'s.

Our daughter is in an area that is not getting much attention, but the flooding is great. They are by Lake Champlain on the NY side....they are elevated so flood is not a threat. I know the area from visits and she has sent pictures and it is so hard to believe the lake came ashore and has surrounded houses, businesses and ruined so many lives and that it has gone so far beyond the lake. The Chazy River and the Great Chazy River like the lake, are at flood stages not seen for many years.

She did have her own unexpected emergency, tho.... they woke up one morning to find their sump pump had failed and several feet of water in their basement ruining all that was stored down there plus washer and dryer, hot water heater and I don't know about their furnace.....the basement was a horrible mess to clean up, so can you imagine if it were your whole house.....I would not know where to begin! And, it is still raining there!!

And Hurrah to our Navy Seals for taking out the monster...Thank You! Thank You! I can not imagine what it must have been like to face such enormous danger, but I thank you for your devotion to this country and the enormous sacrifices you make as well as all the training that pushes one beyond all limits. You are my heroes! May God bless each and every one of you as well as all our servicemen and women and keep you safe!!


My loving Mom and her parents, my beloved Grandpa and Granna....They have all been gone many years, but will always live in my heart and put a smile on my face! Happy Mothers Day, Mama!

Isn't this egg adorable. This was a Christmas present from my oldest granddaughter, Adrianna. This is one of my favorite treasures and I just wanted to share it...yes,it is a real egg.


And a bit of pink in a little arrangement on a shabby shelf....the old glasses? Well they were salesman samples and came from Grandfathers office. He was an eye, ear and nose specialist. They, too, are a real treasure and I will write more, why, on another post.

God Bless and have a wonderful happy and safe weekend and week!

PINK ROSES FOR PINK SATURDAY

I am so happy you came by to say "Hi" and I hope you enjoyed these lovely pink roses!
If you are a Sam's shopper they are having a special on a bunch of roses for $5.49 and they are in all hues of yellows, oranges, reds and pinks. This pretty pink I could not pass up!

I am wondering if they will dry like the white roses that I showed last Saturday. I have a feeling they will not as these roses are dainty in their look and the white ones had many rows of petals and looked more "hardy."

I am off to say "Hi" to as many of you as I can!
Happy Pink Saturday and be sure and visit Beverly to find all the participants that love pink, too!

~PINK POSIES & PINK SATURDAY~

Welcome Everyone.....I hope you are having a wonderful time browsing thru all the lovely pink blogs this PINK SATURDAY...Visit Beverly of How Sweet The Sound... to find this Saturdays pink list. Thank you Beverly!

This is the last Pink Saturday I am going to be a part of for the next three weeks. It is Daughter and Granchildren time. I don't think I am going to get too much accomplished in the creation department. I intend to just be with them and enjoy them and love them and love them.....lots of hugs and fun!!! I fix a special lunch they call "Mo's Lunch". (Their name for me) They put their lunches on TV trays and head for the upstairs and my sewing room and the TV. They think this is a great treat! Of course I will have all of their favorites in the pantry and the 'fridge!

If the weather will behave, we have not had summer yet...just lots of cool, rainy days, we will be down at the beach a lot.

And, we will have our traditional Tea Party and I am going on the hunt for some old hats they can decorate anyway they want....lots of ribbons and flowers....Oh, I can hardly wait! We will bake our favorite cookies for this special event..
Well, I could go on and on, but you all have other blogs you must get to so...



I took these pictures to inspire me. For about a year I have had painters block. Atleast, that is what I call it. I have new brushes and lots of interesting things to paint, but the roses will just not come......I am hoping these gorgeous roses will help. I have had three years of watercolor in college and I think I will use a water color technique.....I am hoping that what I have in my mind I will be able to do.





Pink Geraniums and Pink Double Petunias...
