    Beautiful Roses Susan! I can almost smell from here!! (smiling) I found some really pretty "Sorbet Peonies" in the garden ordering catalog this year, and bought one. They are just breaking ground now! They actually look much like these roses! Except that they are pink and white. I hope that your grey day is a blessing. We are also having a grey day, and I am finishing up some old projects that were thrown aside in favor of something newer and more exciting. Back at it...picking up the pieces!! Hugs and Sunshine, Sharon

    Susan honey why is it a gray day there. I hope your talking about the weather and not yourself!
    Just wanted to say hello before I leave for the doctors. I have to go back to today and my sister in law in taking me. She is such a sweetheart.
    Yesterday was a bad day for me but a little better today...still can't get around like I want too.
    Love you sweetie

    Hi Susan,
    I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I love the photo of you and your mom in your previous post, how precious.

    Yes, the weather is a bit gloomy here as well...and roses always brighten things up. My rose bushes are covered in blooms and I never tire of admiring them!

    I'm looking forward to our "Art in the Park" day. It will be so much fun :)
    Blessings Xo
    Debbie

    You my sweet lovely friend are in trouble. I got your beautiful beautiful card and bracelet just now. Made me cry to think how blessed I am to have you in my life.
    What girlfriend am I going to do with you...hahaha Love you dearly and please have a Happy day for me..
    I am getting ready to leave the house to meet a young man in town (no not for a date silly) but hopefully to see my house. He is the son of a friend of mine and ask me about meeting him around lunch today so its about that time.
    Get down on your knees and pray he loves and it will give me at least what I need to sell it for. lol
    Love you and thank you from the bottom of my heart
    Maggie

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
