A few of my recent cards!

It is time for an update!  I never thought that it would be so hard to keep a blog up to date, but, I was wrong!  Here are a few of my recent cards.

Happy 4th of July

I just want to thank the veterans as well as the service people that are serving today!
May you remain safe in protecting our great country and may our freedom continue.

I want you to see the beautiful roses that we inherited!  Enjoy them this year, because I am such a poor gardener that who knows what they will be like next year.  The ones that we took the pictures of today had rain drops on them and were just so fresh and pretty!

42 years of wedded bliss! Happy Anniversary to my dear husband

Thanks for the roses!

Thanks to our grandchildren for saluting Dave for his years in the service!

Thank you to every Veteran and every one serving in our military today!

Without you, we would not have the freedom that we do today!

Well it is getting to look a little bit like home!  Still too many boxes setting around and still lots of things to do, but..........the craft room is getting into shape! "smile"!  Took more pictures of the plants around the house today.  I will be glad when we can get them trimmed and a little more uniform in appearance.
This first picture doesn't do the color any justice as it is really a pretty orange.

This one is Dave's dream come true!  He has always loved the holly trees and now he finally has his own.

I really love this particular rhododendron.  It is so pretty!

Sunday, May 15th

Well the past 2 weeks have been rather busy!  We tried to move to a new house that we bought without anyone knowing we were doing it; then we were going to have an open house and invite our friends.  Well it happens that we bought a manufactured home in a park and once a month the park puts out a bulletin and in this bulletin it welcomed us to the park.  Very nice of them, but some of our good friends live in the park!  Guess what?  The surprise was out!  Oh well!  But that worked out okay, because it will be a year before I am recuperated enough to put together an open house!  Ha!

Here is the new house!  We are enjoying all of the room and will enjoy it even more when we get rid of all of the boxes!  I didn't know that I still had SO MUCH stuff or better yet, JUNK!!!

The flowers have started blooming already for us.  They need some tender loving care, but I am not ready to give it to them yet!

Can anyone tell me what this little lavender flower is?  It looks like it will be really loaded with blooms shortly! I got my answer!  This flower is an Evergreen Azalea!

Have a good Sunday!

Well we are still waiting for the beautiful flowers that April Showers are supposed to bring!!  It has been a long rainy winter and I am ready for a little more sunshine.  Today has been beautiful and it certainly makes me feel a lot happier!!!  Let's hope that it continues!  Here are the cards that I made last month.  Beings that April is my birthday, I had a lot of thank you's to send out.  I am not sure that it is that wonderful getting another year older, but I do have to say that I have some wonderful friends and family that helped me to celebrate.  Thank You to each of you!
