Gratitude Sunday #10

For most of this week I've felt like this tree

Gnarled and twisted...

the cold I've had made me

shall I say 'Grumpy'

Anyone coming near me got this look

'Danger!'

Go Away!  I'm ignoring you!

So this week I'm Grateful for soft Kleenex,  sinus medicine, vaseline for my nose and a sweet Mom that fed me all week! 

It's horrible to come visit my Mom and then get sick.  Thankfully I'm here for several more weeks and we will have time to do some fun things!

What are you Grateful for this week?

(that sweet cat posing for these photos is Sam)

Please link up your post with a link back to this blog. 

 I appreciate all of you that join in Gratitude Sunday! 

Wishing you JOY,

Linda

A NEW Favorite Thing!

This new favorite thing is so new it still has a price tag on it!  I have had a terrible cold and been staying in getting well.  Thursday I felt well enough to just 'get out of the house' for a bit.  So of course I went to Goodwill which is the closest thrift store to my Mom's house!  WOW are the prices high at this one....but still I find some deals and this is now one of my new 

Favorite Things

I love pottery and have a pretty large collection although most of it is planters, my vase selection is starting to catch up.  Enter this tiny...oh yes...

This little cutie is only 4 inches tall!

No markings but I love this deep red glaze

So for $1 this little gal made my day! 

(update:  This is Camark pottery...thanks Mary)

I'm joining

A Favorite Thing

I will have Gratitude Sunday up tomorrow afternoon!  I hope you will join me!

Wishing You JOY,

Tiger Time

I just wanted to share some Tiger photos!

Poor baby was getting over a cold on my last visit!

Still he was so happy! 

Last Saturday he went to Home Depot

And made a race car with Daddy

I love his apron!!

Whoops!  'Helping' in the kitchen!

Ready for bed!  

We love Mama's new haircut and easy access to her earlobes(one of Tigers comfort things).  Daddy got a hair cut also and Tiger said done after a few snips!  They will try again later!

You gotta love it! 

Joining Kathe for her great party each week!

Wishing You JOY,

It's A PJ Party!

Happy Monday! 

Today I'm joining Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage for her PJ Party!

Now Claudia told me I could come even if I am a nightgown girl!  The whole event was triggered by her love of flannel pj's which she will stay in all day if allowed! 

 I can relate!

Now that I am 'retired' I don't have to rush anywhere and so I don't!  I enjoy a leisurely morning cup of coffee while reading emails and blogs.  I'm usually snuggled in my flannel robe in the winter time.  Yes I do love flannel!  

Living in Georgia it isn't as cold as up north so I find sleeping in flannel hot but I do love it to hang out in it!  Here is a photo of me wearing my favorite flannel item!

This was taken Christmas morning! 

This flannel gown is so comfy and has pockets and you will find me wearing it all winter.  I've greeted the mailman, UPS delivery guy in this gown!  My neighbors have seen me run out to get mail in it also.  Hey it's warm!  I'm considering getting flannel pj's for next winter just to 'hang out' in!

Can't you see me in these adorable Nick and Nora Flamingo PJ's!!!

Summer I'm all about cool cotton gowns! 

Please stop by Claudie's and see what other Flannel lovers have to share! 

Wishing You JOY,

Linda

Today is Gratitude Sunday

Thank you to all who join me each week with something they are thankful for! 

This week is easy for me! 

I am so happy to be here in Texas and visiting my Mom.

She is in the best health that I have seen in years!

I will be here visiting until March 26th 

Lots of time to spend together! 

I am so blessed to still have my Mom to share my life with!  

What are you Grateful for this week?
