What's Up Wednesday

I feel like I have been neglecting my blog 

Spring has Sprung and along with it my allergies

Pollen count is high and causes me headaches and a general icky feeling!  I'm hoping some rain tomorrow will wash away some pollen and 
restore me to a more active person!

Still I've managed to do a few things!

This Georgia blogger, Cheri, had a birthday in March but all of us gals were here and there and were not able to get together until yesterday!

Mimi's Cafe offered us a wide variety of choices

I had quiche!  

Sandie, Sue, Joyce and yes that bright pink 'blob' is me!  

We had a great time as always!

One of Cheri's birthday gifts!

Good News!

My cousin that was planning to go to Paris with me but had some heart troubles has found out today she does not have to have a pacemaker! 

She is to continue on her meds and they seem to be controlling her AFib!  
I am so happy! 

So my cousin Joletta is planning on making the trip to Paris with me after all! 
 We are going to have so much fun! 

I hope to get back into the groove of blogging soon.  I have a few thrifty finds to share this week but I need to photograph them first.  
These allergies really take all my energy away!

Tiger says thank you for all the great Birthday wishes!  I can't believe he is two, where did the time go?  Here he is with his Mama and Daddy (who had a birthday on April 3rd) celebrating!  

Wishing you Joy, 

Linda

Happy Birthday Tiger!!

Today my sweet Grandson turns two!

It seems like yesterday we were greeting this little guy for the first time! 

Now here he is two years old!

Having his first Ferris Wheel ride with Mama and Daddy!  Enjoy it sweet boy!

Grandma loves you and sends you big

Birthday Hugs and Kisses!

A Favorite Thrifty Thing

Several years ago I stopped into a small thrift shop.  Looking around I didn't see much but as I was leaving this was in the showcase.

This milk glass pitcher and four glasses in the lovely

 Harvest pattern by Indiana Glass.

I've seen this set in Antique Malls and at the Worlds Longest Yard Sale, but prices were always way out of my comfort zone.

The pitcher alone was minimum $25. 

 So I inquired about the price!

How about $20 for the set they said!

SOLD

I am love this and it's one of my favorite finds ever!

Gratitude Weekly

I am grateful this week for so many things.

Time with my sweet Grandson Tiger

Hearing my grown daughter tell me she missed me while I was in Texas. 

 I missed her also!

My kitties welcoming me home and not being 'too' angry with me for being gone a month

I'm grateful for Mr ALC who keeps the home fires burning and the cats fed while I'm gone

I'm grateful for Spring and new beginnings!

Tiger Time!

I enjoyed a wonderful weekend with my family!

Tiger will be two on April 7th and received an early birthday present from Grandma!

A basketball goal!  He loved playing and Grandma even tossed a few basketballs in the net!   

Taking a water break after playing hard! 

Saturday Tiger went to his first Easter Egg hunt at church.  It was so much fun! 

So many eggs and it didn't take long for him to get the hang of picking them up.  Not much 'hunting' to be honest about it (as you can see)!  

He was busy watching the other children also!

Once he realized the eggs opened and there was candy in them...well we had to see what was inside each egg before going to the next one!

Concentrating on opening that egg

Lots more candy then his Mama had thought he would get

Reese cups are one of his favorite 'treats'

My baby with her baby! 

I was so happy to be a part of this 'first' for Tiger!

I'll be going back on Thur to babysit and celebrate his birthday with him.  

Oh and his shirt...

Wild about Grandma....and I'm wild about him!

Wishing You JOY,
