They Did It! Bobby And Susan Say "I Do"....... Ahhhhh......A Love Story!

Happy Sunday Sweet and Wonderful Chickies!

Oh how we love a good love story, don't we?

I swear, I'll cry just writing this little blog.  It's just the best.

I told you before that my Hubbs' best friend, Bobby, was alone for so long.  Sort of a little lost soul.  He so needed a Mrs.    :-)

Sweet Susan kept herself busy.....lots of friends......LOTS......and her family.  But, alone, still.

And, then..........the Cupids (That would be my Hubbs and me) introduced these two little soon to be sweethearts.

They locked eyes...........

And, in nearly exactly a year.......

Don't they look sooooooo in love?

You know....they typical trouble with the ring?

But, like Cinderella..............it FITS...

THEY FIT.

And, now all that's left is the living happily ever after part.

Don't they look soooo happy.  I'm telling you..........they could have turned out all the lights in the place..........They were simply glowing....no, really...........I am SO serious!

Yep, I cried that ugly, snivel-y cry.  Not so pretty.

They tied the knot at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle.

So intimate and sweet.

The darling little ones?  Susan's granddaughters.  Aren't they cute?

They winged off to Hawaii last Tuesday.....and then, home to live their dream.

Finally.

Can we all say Ahhhhhhhhhh...?

I love you Bobby and Susan and nothing is better than seeing your friends soooo happy.

God bless you both.

Thinking PINK! :-) Gotta Love Pink Saturday!

Oh you sweet little Girlies...........have I told you lately that I think you're just the best??

I'm so happy to have "met" so many of you.  Bloggieville is such a wonderful place, isn't it?

Happy Pink Saturday To 'Ya...    :-)

Whew, doing Pink Saturday makes me realize how quickly Saturdays roll around!  YIKES.

The sweet little Bride came today with one of our dear friends to do up the posies.

Susan brought a yummy salad and when I began to bless our meal I started that nasty crying.  Not the cute little cry when your eyes well up.....no, that slobbery, goopy cry......I could barely pray.  I'm just so happy that these two have found each other.  Isn't God good?

We all pitched in and had the flowers done and ready to go in no time at all.

And, tomorrow is THE day.

Not a gal who loves minimalism....   :-)   I'll pile a whole big 'ol bunch of stuff together.

Some girlies have a wonderful garage where they can run out and spray paint....or whatever.  Yeah, mine's just not pretty.  Man I can fit a LOT of stuff in a garage.    :-)

And, yes.........I LOVE fake flowers.  I like the real ones better, but what the heck....a girlie's gotta go with what's in season.  And, in Washington right now it's the season of fake flowers.   :-)

See, one little item is just not enough for the "over-do" girl...

I started the little topiary from starts from another ivy.  Isn't it handy to just keep on makin' new plants?

One of the girlies who came today showed me how to start African Violets.  Who knew?

I have three from my Mum's funeral.....I haven't killed them for over a year now!

She'd be so proud.    :-)

Just stick that little leaf into water.....just like ivy and it roots!  Isn't that fabulous?

Now my sweet chickies.........you MUST go see all of the other lovely PINKS.

I'm sure it will satisfy that pink craving...

Miss Beverly is so dear to host this little party.

Go see her at:

And, have a wonderful weekend.

I'll have pictures of the happy couple in a few days.

(Bobby told Susan this morning that they would be married in 36 hours and 20 minutes.....how romantic is that???)

Huggies and Lovies!

Hey Girlies! Happy Friday!

Oh my gooooodness!  Can you believe it's already FRIDAY?  

Where did the week go?

I know I've told you that Bobby and Susan are getting married on Saturday....and it's all about the wedding right now!

I'm so excited I can barely contain myself.

And.............

Angie over at Thread Needle Studio.....

http://threadneedlestudio.com/?p=169

 

asked me to do a little slipcover interview!  Whew, did that ever make me feel important.

Ok........in the big scheme of things, I know it's not true, but I was excited just the same and I can tell MYSELF that I'm important, right?    :-)

I still have the slipcover to make for my little bathroom chair, but haven't found the fabric for that little endeavor yet.  I like to buy my fabric on SALE....is there any other way?

So, pop over and visit Angie....she has a great blog and makes slipcovers too.  You'll love 'em.

Have a wonderful Friday!

Big smoochies,

Spencer

Looking For A Really Special Dinner Plan?

Hi Sweet and Wonderful Girlies!

Thank you so much for all the Hubbs' Birthday wishes.....

I printed out about 12 Happy Birthday signs on the computer and added artwork....after Prince Charming went to sleep I put them everywhere he'd go in the morning.....Yes, as a matter of fact, I WAS still sleeping......gotta get enough zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's!   :-)   I even put one in his laptop so when he opened it at work there would be a little birthday cheer.

And, we went out for Sushi....one of our favorites!  Gotta love some raw fish.    :-)

Delish!

Now, about these recipes.....As I've said many times before, I'm not exactly the Queen of the Kitchen, if you know what I mean.  There are a few things that I make reallly well and then there's the REST.  :-)    YIKES!

Hmmmmmmmm...........I'm thinking I probably won't roast a squirrel anytime soon.

I used to collect vintage cookbooks...........now there's some fun!

I sold them several years ago on eBay....but I had these old pix in my stash.

Hilarious.

Now, if you're in a rush, here are some time savers.

I especially like the Fricassee of Canned Whole Chicken.  YUM!   :-)

Don'tcha ever say I'm not full of good ideas now, will 'ya?

*****************************

I'm soooo excited!  The BIG WEDDING is this weekend!

Well, actually it's just teeny-tiny, but we have a bride and groom that are over the moon.  Do you remember me telling you about Bobby and Susan?  My dear Hubbs has known Bobby since childhood.....we played cupid and introduced him to my sweet friend, Susan........And, the rest they say, is history!

I'm going to do the flowers for them, so I'll be putting them together on Friday......

I'll have pix next week.

And, my precious little Grandson is getting an award at school tomorrow---

STUDENT OF THE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, this is an accomplishment.  I'm so thrilled.  I wouldn't miss that for the world.

Bless his little heart.  I soooo adore this child.

Now, all of you little sweeties make it a great day!

God made it especially for YOU!

Enjoy.

Huge huggies....

Spencer

Big News.....REALLY BIG News... :-)

Sweet Girlies!

Oh yes.......I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.......

You may have read about my Half-Husband and my sweet friend
here:

http://bellamerecottage.blogspot.com/2009/06/oh-my-gosh-its-love-story-yipppeee.html

Sorry....I tried to make it into a hidden link, but darned if I could figure that little gizmo out.

Well............This sweet couple came to dinner over the weekend.

And, here comes the HAPPY part....

THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED!

How exciting is that?

He's 63 and she's 59.......and ready to live "happily ever after"....

I remember when I got divorced, I was 41.....there were so many single gals out there that told me there just aren't any good guys left and just plan on being single....well, this gal's just not the single type. I'm a marrying kind of gal. Yeah, and I have PROOF.....I've done it THREE times. :-)

I got married when I was 20........again when I was 42 and yet again when I was 47.....ok....this is the LAST one....We've been married 12 years and going strong.

If you're single...
don't let them tell you there's no one out there for you. ;-)

So, no date's been set yet........but let me tell you.......they are walking on air.

Want to hear the romantic part?

Mr. Romantic gave Susan an empty box with a letter in it.

He said that this box is like my heart before I met you....empty.......you've filled my heart and I want to fill this box with memories of our life together.....or something close to that. I swear I want to post that little love letter. It said much more, but I can't remember all of it. He handed Susan the box, she opened it....realized there was a letter inside and handed it to him to read.....which he did, in between soft sobs.

Now, doesn't that make you want to cry? I sure teared up at that little story, but I squealed...........LOUDLY..........when they told us the big news.

I'm so excited for them. They both sooooo deserve the happy ending.

The most wonderful people you'd ever want to meet.


The End.

Huggies and Lovies!

Spence

Oh.......and PS.........I don't know how it happened, but someone's blog appeared on my sidebar. Not on my list, but above it. It was really weird. I had never been to their blog and certainly didn't want it on mine. I tried several different times to remove it, but it wouldn't LEAVE....when I finally got it to go lots of my favorite girlies disappeared too....I'll re-add all of you as I remember......darn it all.
