SNOW in coastal South Carolina!

I awoke at 4:15 to find it has already begun to melt, but it was pretty Friday night while it lasted.

Wordless Wednesday

Another Lazy Morning--Is there anything else?

Lazy Saturday Morning

Simple Pleasures

For the last three years, when I have gone to have my annual mammogram, the x-ray technicians have been giving out a rose to each lady as they left. I think this is so special, especially in these economic times. So, thank you to http://www.ropersaintfrancis.com/

Quaint

This is a tiny post office I pass each time I go back to my hometown to visit my parents. It is just so cute I wanted a picture of it.

My Neck of the Woods

These are some of the things I love about my "neck of the woods".

Crabbing

I am blessed to live in an area where we can partake of the bouties from the sea. Yesterday we went crabbing and got nothing. Today for two hours' work we got two. Well, that's better than nothing.

Minnie and Snowflake

Who says pets need fancy toys? In the middle picture, Snowflake has recycled the packing envelope from Australia. She thought it made a perfect tent.

In the bottom picture, they are looking out the French doors, and in the top, Minnie has stolen my computer chair.

Here are the newest sweeties.

Newest Treasure

My friend Monica over at thehomespunheart.blogspot.com is such a crafty person. I picked this up from her today. She will be having a sale on Monday, so go to her blog to check it out at noon.

It is perfect in my bathroom.

I'm Hooked

A few months back when I began reading my friend Monica's blog, I became intrigued by a book series she recommended, The Mitford Series by Jan Karon. I am HOOKED! I read the first book last week and am off to the bookstore today for the next. I grew up in the '70s loving the reruns of "The Andy Griffith Show" and watching "The Waltons" and "Little House on the Prairie." This book was exactly what I needed to feed my nostalgia.

Things that make me smile

Who says dog is man's best friend? Evidently someone who never had these. Yes, in the top two pictures Miles is "kissing" or "washing" his sissy.

Simple Pleasures

My surgery will be one month ago Thursday. Tonight I decided to take the plunge (so to speak) and take a real bath, not a sponge bath in the sink like I've been doing. I have never been a shower person; give me a bubble bath everyday. I looked at the wound vac and decided I could put the water in about 4 inches and I'd be fine. My, I feel clean for the first time in a month. That is how I relax every evening---that and with candles. It's strange how we take things for granted. To me, this is one of life's simple pleasures.
