More fun sites
Well, I am back again! I went to vist the blog where I got this fabulous background, The Graphics Fairy and she is featuring a free graphic of children with peacocks today.
This made me think of my friend, (I hope I can call her my friend), Robin I met in Texas. She autographed her book for me of her life, Magnolia Pearl. She was also featured in Romantic Homes with her wedding photos to John and I believe her booth in Texas Spring Event at Marburger Farms must have been taken from her wedding accessories. It was truley magical and put me in a trance to get an outfit from her. She is a truely amazing lady and her staff was awesome also in helping me pick it out.
I have this photo of me in it, don't look at my shoes, they are my walking shoes with insoles I have to wear with my neuropathy. I also had on the red angel shirt under it that I wore that morning to go shopping in; Opps, I should say browsing...(grins) Magnolia Pearl also makes all her clothing from imported linens and had it hand-dyed and embroidered.
Well, enjoy both of their sites.

I love my New Background!
I am doing alittle housekeeping as always but this time, here on my blog. I adore this lighter look! I am not very good at Banner making so I will have to feel that part out for abit. My friend Cora of Hidden Riches, Secret Places helped me with the moon and stars with Primative house which I love and I cherish it.
Maybe I need an old prairie farmhouse with the moon and stars, I will look around. So many blogs are just beautiful when I visit and I am enchanted when visiting them. I can just click from one to another to see new bloggers. I usually log on while having my morning coffee and just wander around.
I love my music too, so far I have not tired of it when here, after all, I guess I picked it out anyway. I have had several inquiries to my friend Mary who I posted about last week in her first chemo treatment. I suppose she had her second one yesterday as she will every Monday for 4 more weeks. And she is hoping to be able to travel back to the river house to continue the rest. The drive to treatment there is about the same here except she will have much more beautiful scenery to see in the mountains of North Carolina. I know I love driving anywhere up there.
My dear husband is to also have a second back surgery to remove the hardware from the first and we both hope this takes his pain away. He has had problems going back to an eight hour work day and he wants to get much better. I would have just dog-sat here at my house with Abby and Maggie for that and then maybe traveled to the mountains for his recovery also. It is amazing what the river can do for your soul!
I found a couple of new blogs this morning Raised In Cotton" which also took me to "Curious Sofa", and I know I have many of the magazine they have been published in as I collect magazines till my house is full to the brim, along with my art materials! I guess it could be full of worse things. I also hope to visit their shop in Kansas City, MO. one time when I return to Missouri where I grew up in Springfield to see my family. We also lived in Lenexa, KS. right on the border of MO/KS also while my husband changed jobs. We both loved it there. The Plaza downtown was a beautiful place to go on the weekends so see the fountains. We also loved to go to Parkville, MO, another quaint small town close to KC full of antique shops but I have another kind of love for them now.
Wow, the sun is rising and it is so damp outside, my newly cleaned windows are so foggy I can't see outside. I know my little frogs outside love it. Our cat, Blu was on the tippy top of the wicker chair trying to see them in the transom window. They were hopping around up there and I can hear them now.
We may get rain later today and the humidity is off the scale again. We have been re-doing the back porches again the last couple of weeks. I hope it gets cool enough to enjoy them and I will show photos as I can. Well, I have to take them first.(grins)
Well, I haveing a good start to today, now I need to get to listing more merchandise in my Bonanzle shop, frstyfrolk's Boutique. I listed some ski bibs last night and forgot to take photos of one pair that I found a very nice deal on several, they look fine and barely used as I get pre-owned clothing when I find great deals. Oh the memories they send me back to, our Colorado ski trips were amazing. I cherish those memories! we used to go alot with our frequent flier miles my husband earned when traveling. Now those photos I would have to scan as I have albums full. I did upload to my flicker account some of our Washington State memories over the weekend.
Our sweet Jordan and Megan were young dogs then but they had already had their ten puppies. Oh, more memories I can conjour up in my head and I have in albums.
As I say, Make memories because no one can take them away!

Old Dame Penniwig, a favorite blog

I have to say a Thank You to blogger and etsy artist friend, Old Dame Penniwig!
(she gives herself this name) I don't really think she is old, But a Dame YES!
She offer free graphics on her blog which I grab most very time I visit her. In fact, I have a folder full as they are ALWAYS so FUN! I have even used a few for my Etsy Thank You's.
I like this one,

And my new Welcome Comments on my new sidebar are from her collection. She shares so generously of her art and her etsy earrings are just fabulous. I ordered one pair and she sent me two, what a find and fabulous friend. Please see her earrings here, they are unusually beautiful and one of a kind. Home of the Colonial Earbob!
Go see Penniwig's and see for yourself!

Pray for Mary
It has been an up and down week for me and hard to put thoughts into words. My dear friend Mary, for whom I dog-sit, (it started out that I dog-sat my real grand-dog Ally whose is Barkley’s sister until she passed Spring 2008 along with my Megan, her mother a month later. If you remember we had the double memorial ceremony at the river where Ally and Megan both loved to play and romp with Maggie and Jordan also, all four Golden Retrievers. We have become close friends and I love her so very much.
She is in the photos of the Memorial Service at the river back in my older posts July 2008. Well, she was having some intestinal problems and just in the time span of three weeks went from feeling fine to her chemotherapy treatment for Extra Ovarian Cancer. Well, she now has one down and five to go, But, my heart aches for her and her husband. They have both grown so close to my husband and I in our hearts. I think and pray for her daily and her family.
All I can do is to send her cards to let her know that we are thinking of her always and with phone updates. We did go to be with her family during the exploritory surgery and when they found out the cause of her problems.
She just turned 66 and it seems this is about the time this cancer ravishes women's bodies, It could be any of us. I thank all my friends who include her in their prayers.
