A Lazy Day at the Park

Off with the shoes.....

Sophia Rose



 

So thankful for these hardworking hands...

 

Just like Dad...

 

Beautiful Spanish Moss

 

Never to old to play...

 

Or to young....

 

 

 

Higher, Higher,

 

Maybe a little to high!

 

Just a lazy day at the park.

What Have We Done Today?

We shall do much in the years to come,
 But what have we done today?
 We shall give our gold in a princely sum,
But What have we done today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
 we shall plant a hope in the place of fear,
We shall speak the words of love and cheer,
But what did we speak today?

 

 

We shall be so kind in the after while,
But have we been today?
We shall bring to each lonely life a smile,
But have we brought today?
We shall give to truth a grander birth,
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls of earth,
But whom have we brought today?

 

We shall reap such joys in the by and by,

But what have we sown today?

We shall build us mansions in the sky,

But what have we built today?

'Tis sweet in the idle dreams to bask:

But here and now, do we our task?

Yet, this is the thing our souls must ask,

What have we done today?

 

----Nixon Waterman

 

This is such a beautiful poem and it really causes reflection. What have I done today?

Small Changes and a Sign

I have had these little pot holders for a long time. They have been stuffed in a drawer.... I also had this key holder hanging with no keys hanging on it....so I got the brilliant idea to hang the pot holders on the key holder
. I think they look darling.



This is a side table in the living room... I changed it up a bit...

I just love this lovely lady...

 

And this adorable vintage rooster.

 

My mom made this sign for the wedding...you thought it was a sign of things to come didn't you? based on my title. No it is an actual sign. LOL  Didn't she do a fantastic job?

 

I hope you are all having a blessed week...as you can see nothing major is happening around the home front.  I just thought I would share my day.

Fancy Flea, Not a Complete Fail

Bright and early yesterday morning I woke up and got ready for the Fancy Flea. As we arrived at my sister's I could feel the humidity in the air, but we were still optimistic and ready to go.



As we were driving down I-4 we could see the clouds rolling in....and it looked like rain ahead. But onward we rolled.

When we arrived in Plant City it was pouring! We stopped at McDonald's and tried to kill some time and to see if it would pass. But.....it didn't. So we went on over to the Strawberry Festival grounds. It was a mud hole... In places it looked like hogs had been rooting all night. People were muddy and even the police were stuck in the mud.

 

We went to a few booths that were open and bought a few things. I got my bag from Carol at the Polka Dot Closet.... A beautiful shrug from Paris Rags and the find of the day was a huge crocheted tablecloth for $10.00. All of it was soaked. It all had to be dried out.

 

Lastly was this beautiful head vase....I sunk in mud up to my ankles to get this. My dress was mud spattered and my shoes were completely black with mud.... But I did get a few treasures. As far as a give away I will be working on finding some goodies soon.... some that won't be mud spattered.

Off To The Fancy Flea

We are all off to the Fancy Flea......Yeah!! Once again if I can find some goodies I will host a give away!!! So bright and early we will be packed in tight, zooming fast and out of sight on our way to the Fancy Flea.......

Vintage Suit Cases

Remember these suit cases I got from my friend Heather? Well, we decided they needed a paint job.

We are going to use them at Savanah's wedding. We will open the top suit case for cards. And the great thing is they will blend right in with all of my décor! Yay Me!

God's Plans

God's plans are like the ocean,
Varied as the winds that fall---
All are products of His wisdom,
All are subject to His call.
Not a breeze that stirs the tempest--
Or a sparrow down doth fall,
But our Heavenly Father knoweth ---
For He watches over all.

--Elizabeth E.S. Williams



Random Pictures With My New Camera
