sweet treat

Stopped in Southern Season with the grand girls for a sweet treat.   Adalyn had her eyes set on from the start a  large Easter Egg decorated sugar cookie - she loves her cookies.

Don't touch my cookie look - serious cookie eaters are she and her sister

started with four macarons but two  are gone already

Genevieve loved them

Opa and I shared one,  next time we get more.

lunch and a view

Steve and I headed out for an early dinner Saturday in Port Royal.   Stopped on the way at an antique shop and bought a few embroidered handkerchiefs for a buck a piece.   Will make a few lavender sachets with them.
Our usual stop is River Haven restaurant.  We like to have lunch here because of the great shrimp and the views of the water.

Appetizer as always

Today is our anniversary.  I went out for doughnuts for Steve as he LOVES  jelly doughnuts, along with a breakfast sandwich.

Lemon and berry in shape of hearts

A surprise waiting for me

The earrings I received last year for my anniversary match perfectly



Our wedding was many years ago. The celebration continues to this day.    - Gene Perret  

In the pink

Mom had a fall and broke her upper arm bone literally in half on the worst snowfall day of the year which was last Saturday.   A ride by ambulance to the emergency room was taken.   Her appointment with the Ortho. doc was not til yesterday the 29th.    On Thursay the 28th , the night before she was taken  by my sister Donna  with severe UTI in which she was very weak from not eating because of nausea.  

What a difference a night of medication makes. She was in very good spirits Friday.    Donna, I and the two grand girls took  her to the Orthopedic doctor ,  she actually enjoyed the get together.   She is 94 and is one strong lady,
  She will have a clam shell cast put on her arm tuesday after swelling has lessened.   She does not want an operationa and neither do any of us as,  at 94 it would be a little too dangerous.

Great grandma and great grandchildren.    Genevieve wouldn't get to close because she was scared of mama's arm being hurt.   She kept watch from a distance.

We hope to get by to visit her tomorrow or Monday,  hopefully tomorrow.

Feeling like the words of Marilyn Monroe today--

 "Imperfection is beauty,  madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring".

Gotta have fun and live life while we have it and be thankful.

Today I am wearing  my pretty pin and M.M. chiffon scarf given to me by my friend Jennifer,  we have know each other since we were 13 years old.

The pin is a little fuzzy but still pretty and the grape necklace next is a very old vintage piece.

Happy Saturday Everyone!
