OMG Summer is almost here …

Our Family

So you know what that means, time for my summer planner. Y A Y I love, love, love setting up my planner’s. Especially for my Summer Planner!!!! They are the coolest thing that I have.

I found a great site for planner’s and the husband gave me the okay to purchase the coolest planner ever. I’m not quite sure how I’m going to use it but I’m just happy I purchased it. I will put up post of my beautius Summer Planner when it get’s here!!! I have to at least give a shout out to one of my troll’s (my sister Liz) only b/c she got me into the planner thing a 100 years ago, and that’s all I’m going to say about that. I might as well put up a sister picture, but like a said that was a thousand years ago…So sad, thanks dad…

This was the last picture we took together as the Sister’s. The older Sister’s found other things that were important than being a family…Thank you, again dad…

Sister Liz is next to me…This was a before picture and if you know me, you get what that means …Oh well it’s the rearview mirror and you know what they say stop looking there because your not going that way…

I found a song that I love and it reminds me of being a part of something that could’ve been so special, but it was not to be. God takes people out of your life that will not be good for what his plan is. So I just accept the way that it went. We will be together again and we will have to stand in front of our God. I’m okay with that…

Whatever, this post just went somewhere I had no idea it was going to go, so I’m going to post this as is b/c it’s a sign… It was suppose to be Two for Tuesday… Oh yeah and here’s the song, “We Are Family .” 😉 …

Boy did I get off the subject or did I even have one, a subject that is… Right the summer, so many things going on. I’ll have so much to blog about. Happy Tuesday, love ya blogger pals. Have a great day, we’re going to have severe storms so check go check their website’s out Meterologist Mark…And Reed Timmer. I’m sure they’re watching. I’ll go back and link them.

Happy Song Lyric Sunday !!!

What a great prompt, Disco. Probably my favorite music b/c I love to dance and I was in that generation totally. My husband of 44 years was not into disco at all and it almost ended our relationship. Thankfully it did not. I just went dancing with my brother-in-law, RIP and it was good b/c he (the boyfriend/husband) wasn’t jealous at all because he was married to my oldest sister.

Thanks so much for a great prompt this Sunday, Mr. Jim…I’m all over it and I’m definitely in for this SLS

My song for today is one of my all time fav’s of the disco era. Macarthur’s Park by Donna Summer. That song gets me dancing and singing. Been so long since I even remember this time in my life. Then when I saw the prompt for today, I knew right away what song I was going to choose. The husband likes Richard Harris‘s version of the song. I like the disco version better…

MacArthur Park

MacArthur Park

Song by Donna Summer

Spring was never waiting for us, dear
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance

MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees

MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no

MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left my cake out in the rain
And I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no, oh

I’m going be singing this song all day and doing a little disco dancing too. It’s Sunday, so it’s dinner at grandmama’s house and this will get me pumped to get dinner on. Love singing and dancing whilst I’m cooking. The menu for today is Bowtie Chicken Pesto w/Honey Butter Biscuits and Sweet Peas. I’m also going to put together Blueberry Hand Pies with my new, “Pampered Chef” Air Fryer.

The weather is great, which is kind of boring and it’s not so much fun to watch but my people are coming over and the grand babies will be able to play outside, so it’s all good. I know you should really love a beautiful Sunday like today, but being the weather geek that I am know this is a bore… 🙁 I’ll just remember the crappy days of January and I’ll be grateful for today 🙂 …

Enjoy your Sunday and let’s get ready for Memorial Day Weekend <3 …

ANOTHER WINTER STORM

Today I’m doing nothing !!! It’s my day off and it looks like I’ll be doing nothing this weekend too. Yes another winter storm is on the way. Which okay, I’ll sleep in tomorrow and it will be a cooking day (Lasagna Soup) and playing with my planner for the weekend. I was just looking at my treasures and I thought I would share them with you.

My first one is my Barometer…I absolutely love, love, love this. This was my grandmama’s and my mom made sure I got it b/c she knows what a weather geek I am. It works too, which is really cool. It’s got to be over 100 years old.

My next treasure is this cross. This too was my grandmama’s. It hangs in the my room right by the door. It slides open where you can keep some holy water. It is safe with me <3 .

My third treasure are these tiny, little tea dishes. I don’t know why, but I have always loved them <3 .

Tiny Tea Dishes

It’s not always about how much money someone leaves you when they pass over. In fact these items are priceless to me. I thought about what I would sell these for if they had any monetary value, and I wouldn’t sell them ever. <3 Happy Friday and be safe out there in all that snow… Oh I’ll take pics of the snow and keep you posted on the storm.

One last treasure that she has entrusted me with. This was a prayer missal that she kept from her 1st love, “Louie <3 .” He lost his life tragically before they were married, so I’m honored to keep it safe for her.
