Lots of Thanks Today...

Ahh, so as I sit here having my morning cup of coffee - I slept in today...woke up at 9:30 a.m. to the doorbell ringing, followed by dad's voice at the bottom of the stairs. My DEAR dad brought us breakfast this morning, and he let himself in since we were all out cold - ha! He and my sis took a drive this morning to the town where we grew up, about 25 minutes north of here. There are a lot of little authentic Mexican stores, filled with wonderful treats. One of the old favorites is steamed beef that you eat rolled in a corn tortilla with some fresh homemade salsa. And he also stopped in at the Mexican bakery, and brought us a bag of fresh baked pieces...yum! No wonder we can't lose any weight round here. THANKS DAD, you are truly an ANGEL.

Secondly, I have been meaning to say THANK YOU to dear Lynn from Vintage Nest who sent me a special little gift in the mail. Oh, she is sooooo cute, and quickly found a spot in my kitchen where I can see her everyday, and she brings a smile to my face. Now, Lynn knows I like roosters, and she asked me first if I would like this knowing I love tassels, and black and white check. OF COURSE Lynn, especially because YOU thought of me! So....it came in the mail, and it's perfect! So, hugs my dear Lynn, you are such a sweetie! If you haven't stopped over to Lynn's blog, she has a wonderful Vintage Boutique that you just have to browse, she finds wonderful treasures, and she also makes the most adorable crowns, for you DIVAS - these are LOVELY, Lynn is warm and fun, and always a treat to visit!

And last BUT certainly NOT LEAST is my Excellence Award that my dear friend Adrienne from With a Grateful Heart blog has awarded me. Ahhhh, Adrienne is a warm, loving, caring person, and I thank you so much for this award. I will certainly display it proudly on my blog. Adrienne is a wonderful daughter, and truly cherishes the time with mom. THANK YOU Adrienne for reminding us how important it is to spend special moments with our loved ones, you are truly an inspiration. Stop on over to meet Adrienne if you don't already have the pleasure. And so I couldn't decide who to forward this award to, as all of my blog friends have excellent blogs, and so how can I choose? So, I extend this to all you wonderful friends out there who bring a smile to my face!

FINALLY, THANK YOU for all of your wonderful ideas for my guest room. Everything is on hold right now until the painter starts his work. So, I will post pictures as the project progresses....still haven't finalized the color choice - UGH, why does it have to be this difficult! THANK YOU.
