What can I say about myself that is interesting to someone else. Hmmmm..... I am a mother, first and foremost and my kids are very important to me. Also, even though this was hard to admit, I am a Grandma. Love them soooo much. I am also a girl friend. I have someone in my life who loves me. It's a wonderful feeling. Also, I have a great job. I am not going to reveal how many years I have worked at my job in the travel business but it is over a quarter of a century. Yikes!!! Anyway, thanks for visiting me. I will try to update and keep my blog interesting so you can keep up with me and my life.

Starting to look like spring

I went to an antique shop and I fell in love with a planter.  I don't think it was a real antique, I think someone made it look old but I loved it just the same.  But, it was way out of my price range.  Soooo..... I took a pic and asked my sweetie if he could make me something like it. This is what he came up with.  Not as old looking at the one I liked but I LOVE this one.  He made it for me!!

Look at it today after a trip to the nursery.  It makes my front porch very inviting and colorful.  I am hoping that all the small plants I bought will grow into big beautiful flowers that can be seen from the street.




Oh, and we also have a new baby.  A baby Ash Tree that it. 


Thanks for stopping by!!

    Enjoy yours for me too!
    GREAT planter!
