Just Add A Umbrella



Being I have my patio set up with the furniture
it was time to buy a new umbrella to complete
the deck for outside sitting, reading and eating.
We get a late afternoon sun and when it is hot
this is necessary. It is very windy in our backyard
so have lost umbrellas more than once.

One was found on the roof when the wind took
it for a ride so I do not spend a lot of money on
the umbrella because it is a yearly pruchase it
seems.

So here we are new and pretty and waiting for me to relax! This makes me happy!

Black and White

New Bedspead

            I finally decided to start my bedroom makeover when I saw this bedspread and just
          had to have it. It is a start and hope it will get me motivated to paint, rearrange and
          accessorize in black and white. I love my bed/reading/tv room so this is step 1 on my
          project! Carry on.
           

Good Surfing Finally!


Besides my desktop computer I have an laptop and a new Ipad. My internet connection is one my
family always complained about and I was constantly waiting and waiting for connection to be made.
After 2 months of this I called Best Buy and explained my situation and was told I needed a better router.
Fearing my lack of technical knowledge for computers I hesitated to spend $100+ for a router but
decided to take the leap! First amazing thing it was so easy to install and within a short time all gadgets
connected to internet were amazingly fast.
Second  I adore my Ipad and am able to surf the web in amazing speed. I can not seem to put it down!

How in the world will I ever get anything done now! So today I just don't care!

Easter Baskets!




I wanted something different for Easter baskets for my family and I found these cute containers and filled them with candy goodies and they seemed to enjoy their carry outs to take home.

Tulips

My daughter told me about thes beautiful tulips at a local business so I went to see these today
and I was so impressed with these two varities. The pink one looks like it has been schredded
all around the edges and seems very delicate. The pointy ones seems perky and proud.

During any other spring they would not be out for another couple of weeks but this so very
spring has changed everything and I love it! Temp today was 83.

I Pampered Myself!



I decided I deserved a little self pampering so I got a pedicure! Usually do this a little later in the spring but I worked hard the last couple of weeks so just decided to go for it. It really is no nice to
sit, relax and let someone else do the work. Has been sandal time for the last few weeks and I
sure did not like the looks of my feet. So I did it and really is was guilt free!
