She Waits

Happy Monday Dear Chickies!

Hope you had a grand weekend..  :-)

I went to coffee Saturday morning with some girls I graduated with........I'm telling 'ya.....it's been a bloody long time since I donned the cap and gown.  FORTY FOUR  years to be exact!  I haven't seen these girls (other than a couple of reunions) since then.  So, we last saw each others as teenagers with our lives ahead of us........and now???  We're SENIOR citizens.  How on earth did that happen?  :-)   I had such a good time chatting with them...  it really was fun and I'm so glad I went.

We had our friends to dinner on Saturday night.......grilled chicken sliders, coleslaw and baked beans.  It was pretty darn good considering I don't consider myself a real whiz in the kitchen.  (NOTE:  understatement).

  The Pup?

Ruby Mae PetuniaBelle......now eight years old and still a pistol.  I'm not kidding.  She still zips around like she's a puppy.

She's waiting for my husband.  He gets home every day about six......and she starts waiting about five.  How do they know what time it is?

She either looks out this door or stares at the crack in the door to the garage.

Sometimes she waits so long she has to take a little rest..........yes, that is one ugly rug, but I  got two of them for free with my fifteen dollar Penney's coupon and their big sale......so they'll just have to do.  They don't last long......she likes to make herself comfy while she waits and tears the darn things up..........

Wishing you a wonderful week.  I''m really going to try to be a better blogger.  There's been so much going on..........I have pictures of things from months ago to post.  

I'm on it.

Hi Girlies! And, Happy Pink Saturday.......

Oh my goodness..........I CANNOT believe it's already Pink Saturday again.....where has the week gone?

That's a clue.........I'm totally unprepared.....not that that hasn't ever happened before, huh?




So, we'll just have a little oddball collection of pinks.........hope this will pass! :-)



First up? Oh yes......that is THE cutest PINK of all....my little baby girl when she was only three months old.....where have the 38 years gone?.....Hmmmmmmm.......sounds like a theme here....so.........

Let's peek at something else...........As I've said........Bellamere Cottage is a bitsy place....quite humble....with only a few choices for the kitchen counters, etc. I hated alllll of them, so I opted for the standard white laminate. I do plan to change that, but I'm doing other things right now, so it's on the back burner.

What I wanted to show you is the backsplash.....Hey, I'll do ANYTHING with paint....the island top, the entry floor and faux tile for my backsplash. I actually did the same thing in the kitchen in our old house. So easy and I don't think it even cost five dollars. My kind of fix-up!

I just used the paint that was there as the "grout". Then, using a square of cardboard, drew all the lines, covered them with basting tape from the fabric store and sponged the color on the remaining area, removed the tape............voila! Tile. Not perfect, but it works for a temporary solution.....And, it's a heck of a lot cuter than white walls.

When the hubbs and I went to Port Townsend I found this darling little teapot.....with a great price. Did I buy it, you ask? No..........I didn't..........I don't know why sometimes I have these cheap attacks, but it was one of those times. I've regretted it every day since then. Darn it all.

Ahhhhhhh............this would be my little granddog. Isn't she adorable? I think she's one of the cutest Westies I've ever seen. Her name is Trixie Belle and she's my pup's BFF!

Just for good measure..........my little Ruby Mae PetuniaBelle.....they're both five now. We got them right about the same time.

And, finally..........I won this wonderful giveaway from Linda at Royal Touch!

I loved it all, but those glasses? They're FABULOUS! I was so tickled.

Thank you so much Linda!

It made my day.


Thank you so much for coming and for muddling through my ramblings.


Oh yes, I can drone on.




God bless you all!

Have a Fabulous weekend.


Huggies and Lovies,
Spencer

What Fun! The Daily Wag Dog Blog!

Little Francesca and Sharkey........don't they look like little princess's!

Little Ruby Mae PetuniaBelle is soooo excited about the new blog. She'll be checking it out!

Little Ruby is a Frenchie too! Doesn't she look like Francesca.......ok, really??? Ruby's really a mutt.........We bought her from a breeder who is developing a new "designer breed". She's 1/2 Frenchie, 1/4 Boston Terrier and 1/4 English Bull Dog. They say that mixing the breeds with help with common health issues. Ahhhhhhhh.....not so much here. She has allergies, we have to buy prescription food for her at the vet.......fifty dollars.......she was just at the vet last week for allergies.........300.00 and last month..........150.00.........But, you know how it goes.....they're part of the family and we'd do ANYTHING for them....


I have a horrible time taking pictures of her. Her eyes usually turn this eerie blue.....sort of like red eye, but blue?? The correction do-hickey in Picassa, and in the Cannon program will not correct it! Any suggestions? I'd love to have more pictures of her as soon as I can manage it!

Little Ruby has a wardrobe too!

Isn't this a darling vintage picture of a Frenchie???

This is Francesca......but it looks JUST like Ruby!

Check it out! Martha has some cute pets. LOTS of pets! :-)
