Weekend wrap up

I have a to do list that is going to take up most of my day. But I am glad that I am nearing the end of all my things I want to get done on my project list. I started off the morning sitting on my porch watching the sun come up. 


From the side view, I can see the mountain range.


It's not a fancy view and was a little shadowed early this morning. But it is a view and I will take what I can get. 


I got a package Saturday from my niece Christy. She sent me a new beach towel for my upcoming Miami trip. Had several other little things in that I just loved.


But my favorite is my new palm tree flip flop necklace. Oh my!


A friend called and told me they had new beach salt and pepper shakers in at Cracker Barrel. I love the beach ones in the little blue sea creatures. I am collecting them. But only one per set.


Because they are going on a shelf in my beach bathroom as a collection of sea creatures. So far I have the sea horse, puffer fish, crab and sea turtle. Trying to find the octopus.


I looked around while I was there and spotted some patriotic ones. Since I decorate around the first of May, I decided to pick them up. I do buy for the kitchen and dining room in the sets. 


Since I had taken Easter down and it is almost time for my red, white and blue to last thru Memorial Day, Flag Day and Fourth of July, I decided to go ahead and do the dining room table centerpiece. I am happy with it.


Sunday we had a smaller crew of Children's church kids. I decided I need to take a picture with the kids until I make sure I have pics of all of them in at least one picture since I only have five more months back there with them at 2 Sunday's per month. So 10 more weeks of my babies and then I will be the one leaving the nest. 


After church, I went out to the cemetery. I stopped on the side of the road and picked some wild flowers to put in a vase on Allen's grave. He loved while flowers and we both loved daisies. So just made me feel good to take him some real flowers. I had some water but they still won't last long. I'll go back next week with a new spring arrangement.


Well, that was about it. I'm working on my to do list this morning. I already hung my new curtains and replaced the blind. Me, being me, hit a stud first try. The curtains are just white drapes to defuse some of the bright sunlight but not darken the room. I am happy with them. Have a great Monday.
