I hope you do get some bird houses this summer, and I think your Roger is just perfect!

I just need some hot coco. I like the tea cosies but really love the more colorful ones you make. I love candles in the winter too. I especially like the flickering on the walls from them. <br />I feel like doing embroidering is becoming a lost art. I used to do it years ago. <br />I really love birds, owls and bird houses. This summer I am going to have a bird house or two in my yard. <br />I love hot dogs especially at a ball game. Thanks for the link for the casseroles. <br />I do love my older hubby; I think he is so handsome with his gray hair. Very distinguished. Some older actors are pretty handsome too. <br />We have a couple of clocks that chime. I have tuned them out most of the time; but I do love hearing them when I do. <br />Babies faces are just so adorable. I just want to kiss their cheeks. <br />Maxine is the best; I must borrow this one; so cute. <br />Sending warm thoughts and hugs your way!

Around Christmas I like a Christmassy scent and in the autumn I like apple spice scents and the rest of the year I have a lavendar and lemon one I really enjoy! I love beef hotdogs any time of year! I can't get enough of them! lol Love and hugs, xoxo PS - Do try the sauce!<br /><br />Yes, I think you have told me Kate, perhaps I am repeating myself, DOH! I wear ear plugs so they don't bother me when I am sleeping! I hope you have a lovely weekend in London! Drive safely! Love you! xoxo<br /><br />Monique, I wear soft rubber ear plugs in bed. They keep out most sounds. I can't even stand to hear anyone breathing when I am trying to fall asleep. I hope the boys enjoy the retro hot dog cooker! Sounds like it might be right up their alley! I am making a conscious effort to feel more positive! I did get in and do some painting also. Might have helped, plus I started taking Vitamin D. Large dose. xoxo<br /><br />Hooray for sunny days Pam! I love when you share photos of your grandchildren. they are so precious! xoxo<br /><br />He does look like a nice person Excentric! I don't know what he is like in real life, but I have never heard anything bad about him. I loved him in George Gently! xoxo<br /><br />Most fascinating thing I have ever seen Barb was one night on our way home from an activity at the church, a barn owl was flying along side of the car, perhaps using our headlights to hunt?? I don't know, but I was totally mesmerized. Todd couldn't watch because he was driving! Jeff Bridges and James Brolin do it for me also. Hubba hubba! Barbara Streisand is a lucky woman, haha! I have never had a cold hot dog, but imagine it would taste a lot like bologna! I love bologna sandwiches, but sadly we cannot get bologna over here. Probably a good thing too! ha! Sometimes it is hard to trust and have faith. We tend to want everything right NOW instead of waiting on the Lords timing. I am working on that myself! Love and hugs to you. xoxo <br /><br />Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-24578247377103588992018-01-19T05:02:20.634+00:002018-01-19T05:02:20.634+00:00Hi Marie~

I am burning candles, I'm trying to get Old Man Winter to come see us!<br /><br />Redwork embroidery is so beautiful, simplicity at it's best.<br /><br />I love owls too, they just fascinate me to no end! They are kind of scary, but I just love to hear them hoot. I don't hear them very often, but when I do, I always get the shivers! Love, Carter Goodrich's work as well.<br /><br />I love hot dogs...with the same condiments as you like (big shock), but I also like to eat them uncooked. When we had field trips at school, my mother would always put a cold hot dog sandwich in our sack lunch...I loved them, and I still love them.<br /><br />Older men are - ooh la la to me as well! Yes, Martin Shaw is very handsome! Jeff Bridges and Charles Brolin . . . COME ON, they are so handsome! Yes, older men just have something that special something that comes with age.<br /><br />I would love to have a grandfather clock - they sooth my soul. I have a lovely mantle clock that sits on my 200 year old piano. It's battery run, but I still love to hear it chime.<br /><br />Patina on an old mirror is so gorgeous! I have an old mirror that my grandmother gave me, I love it, and would love to see the faces that looked into it... :0)<br /><br />Oh, that baby face!! They really are so uninhibited . . . those cheeks!!<br /><br />Very wonderful finds! I love Maxine - she really does tell it like it is. Today I was coloring my hair, and my grandson was here. He looked at me and said...That's gonna make a mess! And he was right! I can never color my hair without a new spot on the bathroom floor...ahhhhh.<br /><br />It is all about faith. I need to work on this one. Your words were perfect, and a good reminder to have more faith and trust in Him. God loves us so much, and really, all we need to do is ask. Amen.<br /><br />Love you sweet friend!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Barb<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-42202419218900794392018-01-18T16:38:03.218+00:002018-01-18T16:38:03.218+00:00I completely agree about Martin Shaw.

They always seem to hit the spot! Yes, children's faces are always so precious. Their honest expressions delight me over and over! Hope your Thursday is a good one !

I think I've told you before that I just hate a ticking clock. Not sure why or how it started. I think its just the constant reminder that my life is passing by!!!<br /><br />We were out for dinner last night with my sister and b-i-l and the weather was atrocious. So cold and stormy we couldnt wait to get back in to our warm little flat!<br /><br />We're off to London tomorrow for four days. I've just checked the weather for the weekend and Saturday looks nice so we'll have a good day out with Christian, but Sunday is a wash out so we'll probably be stuck in. Whoopee Doo!!!<br /><br />Have a great day, lots of love xxxkate hazlehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765372270255609078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-39066887099587163782018-01-18T09:33:00.431+00:002018-01-18T09:33:00.431+00:00I love to burn candles all the time!

What is your favorite scent Marie? <br /><br />I love beef hot dogs in the summer with plenty of onions on top. <br /><br />I have alot of bird houses for decorations. <br /><br />I have a huge mirror that sits above my buffet that I love. Also have a round mirror that was my Aunt Emily's before she went to heaven.<br /><br />That sauce sounds like a good one to try. It must be real flavorful with all those spices in it. <br /><br />I have a clock in the kitchen with a picture of a rooster in it. Also have a clock in the den with pool balls that have numbers on it bc someday I want a pool table. So it's a start. Lol. <br /><br />It's 8 degrees outside here! I shoveled for the 5th time this winter! I'm so over it!<br /><br />Stay warm!<br /><br />Love and big hugs!xo Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012803545016130390noreply@blogger.com
