Just a happy thought.....

Stressed spelled backwards is desserts.

Coincidence?

I think not!- Unknown

Boys and Baking

I had the Lloyd Brothers over after Thanksgiving

for some Christmas Cookie

baking.  They were so excited

I was messing around with some picture editing.....mustache and hat

The cookies were pretty ugly....but they

tasted delicious.

After a hard afternoon in front of the oven, they wanted

to relax in the hot tub.  It was way too warm for a

hot-flash gal like myself, so I sat on the deck and watched.

This is some random pictures.  I ordered some bulbs back in October,

I immediately planted the daffodils and they grew and were gorgeous.

I put the amaryllis in the dark in the cubby, waiting to plant them.

They tried to grow in the dark!! They were all pale an

sickly looking...................I'm so sad.  I planted

them and had to prop them up,  I'm hoping they bloom.

BULB LOVE

 This was my bulbs on October 26.

 This is what they looked like 10 days ago.....

 This is what they looked like 4 days ago................

 This was yesterday..........yeah

 ......um.......I digress

I was out on the deck an hour ago

I found these (3) little daisies blooming.

How confused they must be.

If I've said it once I've said it .......maybe 113 times

I love having something in bloom

It's my "Happy Place"

 

 

" I believe in Manicures

I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick.

I believe in pink.

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.

I belive in kissing, kissing alot.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.

I believe that tomorrow is another day
and I belive in Miracles."

-Audrey Hepburn

007......*sigh*

Hi, my name is Patti and I love James Bond Movies.

(is there a 12-step program for peeps like me?)

Daniel Craig is the best James Bond......ever.

(sorry Sean Connery fans.....I was one of you.....once)

This man is AWESOME as 007......

This is the best Bond movie.

Everything you love about Bond is back....in spades.

I left work early today to go to lunch with Mr. Boyd and

then go to the movie.

We sat in the back row, where there is lots of leg room.

I loved being in the dark with a bunch of people

we didn't know. 

We had something in common....all of us are Lovers of 007.

Everyone there was just like me...on the edge of my seat,

cheering and laughing, and occasionally gasping.

And..........

The Adele Song.......perfect.

I'm pretty sure we will go back and see it

again.....some things are just better when it's a shared experience.

Movies are one of them.
It is 2 hours and 23 minutes of spectacular.
