In my travels , Is that a gnome?
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2007 8:52 pm This week end i found one ....a gnome ,yup..for 10.00 at Artichoke Annie's in columbia, found it coming back home. Saturday leaving for piedmont, we stoped there and i found a wicker chair (again) for 25.00,no paint on it at all,very dull gray looking. Couldnt take it then because the truck was full and said i'd pay for it now,pick it up on the way back.Ron also found more lightening rods(no glass balls) for them.While there ,there sat 2 gnomes and i liked one of them and took it home. The other object in pic i got at Yellow Moon,i really like it.I'll find a home for both outside somewhere in the flower gardens when the weather gets nice.I also found some old garden tools that saturday at Artichoke Annie's,they were only 3 and 4.00 each.Oh i love to find deals like that! I see them alot for 18.00 to 20.00,thats too high!!.. Oh and i also found a bunch of country living garden magazines and bhgardens(country gardens) for only 50 cents(bought 17 of them)lol// .Yes im a sucker for a pretty garden magazine(front covers get me all the time!  some new treasures
 mom and dad on easter.

Im back home....
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2007 2:37 am Well we made it back .Easter went good. Dad looked worse than the last time,the nursing home lost his teeth! Its been over a week too!..We picked him up and took him to moms for easter and i baked a ham and made the broccoli casserole and mashed potatoes etc. I cut dads ham up for him,he had a great appetite,but i felt bad he couldnt eat regular. Seen only 1 of 6 grandkids,(thats along story) that made me sad! Seen 3 of my 4 kids as well(sad). My mom and sis got into it,(the fun of family togetherness)lol...sad! (GOOD NEWS) I got some bargains(antiques).I'll show pics another time. The sun was out the whole weekend. I cooked a good meal for easter. I stayed sober all weekend!..lol.. All and all not a bad time,except i wished Me and Ron lived there,and we could be there for my family more.....go figure,,, This blog entry has been viewed 569 times
All packed and ready to go....
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:26 am Ron has been busy all day,no slowing him down, he even mowed the yard so the grass will be still nice when we get back. Is he crazy? lol..To cold for me out there,and he drained my fountain that we had been enjoying till this nasty cold weather,dont want it to freeze up while were gone. I on the other hand did what most women do,i colored my hair,then i had to also frost it,thank god i bought the hair color and frosting,or i'd be going home to dark haired(yuk).So ya i had to do my hair twice today,Ron would come in and just kinda laugh. Also im bringing home my old iron bed to put in one of her rooms for me sleeping room.Ron joked with me saying there would be no room for anything we might find at a antique store along the hwy home.Ha.. we will find the room if we come across something we just have to have! lol... The weather has cooled, and sure fooled all us fools. but we figured it out... it was to soon to put out... to do all again ,we will get it back out. Maybe next year we will know ... to take it a little more slow .. For in case we still get snow. 
But its human nature to hurry... to plant and not worry ... And to this is a fools big mistake. Though the weather looks pretty it can change quick in a hurry... Better safe to wait , Better to plant late! by kat... See you all next week! hugs... bye.. This blog entry has been viewed 335 times
Oh the wind
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2007 3:24 pm Its mighty fierce today! The suns out ,but still cold! Packed my suitcase last night,im about ready for our trip home tomorrow. We bought a ham to take home and it will stay good in the cooler for the drive home. I hate leaving Bear here inside by himself,the other kitties will be in the garage ,and bailey will be in his pen. Rons brother will come over to feed them daily while were gone, but i just feel sad leaving Bear,he is 17 years old. Wish the weather would be warm when we get back,but its suppose to rain Tuesday and Wednesday and the temp will still be rather low. Any ways ,ill be seeing the kids and grandkids ,that makes me happy! So go ahead and blow wind,you cant keep me from that! A HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE!

Dreaming of warmer days to come
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2007 5:21 pm Sitting here eatting my english muffins this morning,the sun shinning bright,how deceitful it really is. The sun makes you want to go out,but its only in the 30's out there. Wish it was Saturday morning and we were on our way to my moms already. Looked at my grape hyacinths outside,they seem okay,the tulips are still standing,they dont look all mushy.Hope every one is getting through this nasty weather.But we do have alot to be thankful for ,we werent in the tsunami,we missed the tornadoes, and so for,we just got frosted on.Thank god for small miracles right. If your stuck indoors today,keep warm. If your sick,get better quick. If you cant be home for Easter,call home.!! If you cant think of a thing to say in your blog,just tell everyone hi today and smile!  Me back the other day.
 Me today dressed for winter.

Heading for warmer weather.
Category: GARDEN ROOMS | Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2007 4:41 am This weekend is Easter as we all know. I have 4 grown children i need to go see,one who just got out of the Airforce. I also have 6 grandkids,4 grandsons,2 granddaughters. I miss them alot. But i also have two aging parents ,their in their 80's. Dad has Alsheimers and is in the nursing home.Mom is still at home and misses dad im sure quite a bit, married 56 years. I have a sister who lives fairly close to them,and being im 6 hours away i feel quilty quite a bit. So this Saturday were going home. The gardens will have to take care of themselves,lord willing they will survive. Our animals will be looked after by Rons brother. Earlier this evening Ron went out to cut some wood to catch up on some for next year i think,and a little to burn tonight. The fireplace has been out for a week or so now,and there was a chill all day in the house,central heat just doesnt warm you as good as wood! For supper tonight i made quesadias.I use Monterey jack cheese and green chili peppers in them,i roll them up in egg roll wrappers,then deep fry. For the sauce i just use a can of tomato and green chili sauce,yum! I decided to put a few more of my collection of enemalware on here tonight,also 1 of our Boyds Bears we also collect. Have a good night all. Kat..  my prized swirl pot
 coffee grinder
