Send flowers to someone having a bad day!

My friend has been having a rough couple days, as i was sitting at my desk this morning i was looking at my planner and saw my 101 things in 1001 days, i decided it was time to send someone flowers because they were having a rough day. She is a very kind person and deserves to smile, so i decided to send her a small bouquet of flowers, hopefully it brightened her day!

She was kind enough to send me a picture of the flowers!

It feels good do something nice for someone, have you done anything to make someone else smile lately? :)

Until next time,

One of my best friends and college roommates, who i don't get a chance to talk with enough! Had her second baby this weekend! She is a doll, looks just like her big sister! Congrats to Geoff and Sarah!

Emma, isn't she just so cute?

I can't wait to meet this sweet bundle of joy! All my friends have beautiful babies and i just love them! There are more babies arriving this fall and late this summer and I can't wait to meet them all. What sweet blessings they are!

My "second sister", my baby sisters best friend who is just like another sister to me had her sweet baby girl on Wednesday her name is Madison, Congrats to Jenna and Matt!

I also decided it was time to hit the hand written letters since my friend had just had a baby, so i started writing this hand written letter to my dear friend Sarah! Can't wait to send it with her gift package! So i am knocking quite a few things off my 101 things in 1001 days, check out my progress here I am still needing a few book recommendations along with some easy recipes if anyone wants to share i would love to have them! Thanks!



Sorry for the terrible quality

I also had a facial yesterday afternoon and it was FANTASTIC, i said to myself after we were done, why don't i do this more often!! i will be scheduling another one for the fall, can't wait!! Do you love facials? What is your spa splurge you can't live without? So i can scratch 2 things off my 101 things list :)

I hope everyone has a great Thursday! Thanks to all my followers and readers, love to get your comments they make me smile :)

I will be crossing off #86 on my list today! Hopefully my friend is having a better day and i will show you a picture if she sends me one and figures out it is me :)

Thursday- the weekend!

Thursday, my wonderful husband went under to get his wisdom teeth out, he was a trooper and did a good job, when i went back after he was recovering, he was funny! He asked me to take a picture of him laying there, so i did and i am sure after he sees it posted on here he is going to think "why did i let her do that!" After i took the picture he asked me about 1,000 times about his blood pressure, if they got all the teeth, if he was OK, and other funny stuff. It wasn't as funny as the You Tube videos, but i sure got a good laugh. He also had a really good nurse taking care of him that day too, Macy :)



Sorry Joe, i had to post it :)




Nurse Macy :)

 Friday Joe was feeling better so i went back to work and had to work a Senior Olympic Health Fair, it was a fun time, slow but fun, i was hoping to sneak over to the gym and get a glimpse of the "Granny basketball" but i didn't get over there. Joe was starving that night and didn't know what he wanted to eat and we didnt' have much in the house i REALLY needed to go grocery shopping so we went and got some pasta and he was feeling better and felt like he could relax because his belly wasn't grumbling anymore :) How did you feel after you got your wisdom teeth out? The funny thing about me, is the day i got mine out, Joe called me for our first date, i didn't go out that night, but i went out with him the day after i got mine out, he told me on Saturday i must have been crazy haha! :)

Saturday night we got to see my aunt from Florida, her husband, her cute as a button son Josiah, my brother, sister in law and that cute niece of ours Lily! It was nice to see everyone and i hope we all get together again on Tuesday!

Sunday the hubby and I had to run to pick up some of Macy favorite treats, she has been out of flossies for about 2 months and they have been hard to come by  so we were able to snatch up 10 of those and she was SO HAPPY to have one yesterday! We are going to have to keep a close eye on those and get more hopefully so she doesn't run out again :)

We had a cold and rainy weekend for weather and it looks like it is going to be a cooler week for us this week to, i am alright with the weather being nice so i can get a few things done around my house, i need to get the rest of my hostas and i think i am going to plant some Veronica's on the east side of my house! That is our weekend project along with power washing the house and patio off :) Hoping the rain they area showing for weekend stays away!

I am looking for some easy summer recipes, if anyone has some, i would love for you to send them my way! I am also still needing 7 more book recommendations! Please recommend your favorite book, i am onto reading book number 4 :)

Love you all! I love the comments and followers, been getting a giveaway together, so stay tuned :)

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Can't wait to see what you did!

Until next time,

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I am linking up with Jamie again for What I'm Loving Wednesday! I have a lot to be thankful for and these are just a few of the things i am loving today! I have been thinking about all the people that have were effected by the tornadoes and rising waters in the south.

I'm Loving:  That it is finally time to put away the coats and socks for awhile! I just love to wear sandals! I need to do some serious shopping for summer work clothes and summer shoes.

I'm Loving: That my aunt from Florida is coming and I get to see her this weekend! It has been too long since i last saw her, i am excited to meet her son Josiah, him and Lily are going to have so much fun playing together!



Sorry about the terrible picture i had to scan it, i think this is from 2000

 I'm Loving: That i get to see Lily and my family this weekend too!! Check out my 4 legged nephew Petey, "turning up the heat" in the background!! Love them both!! :)

I'm Loving:  That my house finally has some color to it! I love the plants and flowers i have planted, getting ready do some more planting this Sunday on the side of our house! The picture if with the flowers and the new roof, next we are either getting new shutters (grey color) or buying new ones and painting them to match the garage door. We are also going to tackle the drywall in the basement... wish us luck!

Sorry it is not the best picture.........

I'm Loving:  That i am getting a pull behind trailer for my bike, so Macy can go with us on our bike rides and i also want one, so i can ride to the grocery store and get groceries and not waste gas, since it is $4.00 a gallon. Do you think it will go down this June like they are saying?? I am hopeful but i am not getting to excited about it :)

Image

I'm Loving:  My sweet husband and sweet furbaby! Joe is getting his wisdom teeth out on Thursday so i am on nurse duty for the day! Hopefully Macy will help take care of her dad too ;)

Can't wait to see what you are loving today! Have a great Wednesday!

I'm Loving: All my followers and sweet comments you guys leave, keep them coming! I have some ideas on what my giveaway is going to be once i reach 50 followers!! :)

Until next time,

Tail Waggin Tuesday Vol 7

I am linking up with CMAE over at Live What you Love for Tail Waggin Tuesday!

Today's Topic is Share your Pet's Favorite Treat(s)

Macy has quite a few treats that she loves, but one of her favorites is..........

CHEERIOS!

Image from google, dogs who love cheerios :)

Our Vet said they are low fat for such a small dog and we can easily train her with Cheerios, because we can reward her often.

She also loves her morning treat, we call them her "red bone" they are suppose to help with her bones and they smell pretty good too, they are cherry flavored. Orby's Hip Bone Jr's. If you have not given these to your dog, you should try them! You can order them online at Petco or get them at some local Pet stores.

Image

Macy's FAVORITE treat of all time is Merrick Flossies, they are hard to come by right now and we have been saving what she has until we can replenish our inventory of them :) But she goes nuts over these!!

Macy and her Uncle Gizmo enjoying flossies!!

 Here in Eastern Iowa today we are suppose to have temps in the 90's!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess we are skipping Spring and heading right for Hot and Humid Summer!

Hope you have a great Tuesday, can't wait to see what your pet loves!

Until next time,

Weekend Recap and 101 things in 1001 days

We had a wonderful weekend! The weather was awesome and we got to see our Mom's so all in all it was a success and went by WAY too fast!

Saturday we were busy we had a few errands to run in the morning, I had to give Macy her flea treatment and her heart guard and she does not enjoy the flea treatment, but loves the heart guard she is silly :) We went to our local Culvers and bought some flowers for around the house, i wasn't sure what i wanted to get, so i just decided Geraniums would do good, because as some people say they are a hearty flower :) I also wanted to do something different in my pot this year, so i asked the lady working if she had any thoughts, and she threw this combination together and said if i take good care of it, i can replant it for an inside plant this winter and it will stay until next year! I can save some money that way! (the flowers in the pot cost around 60 dollars!! )

I told the hubby i didn't want to plant the flowers until next weekend, but after we took my mom out to eat for a late lunch and her and I went and got her flowers, ( i spent way too much time looking at plants and flowers on Saturday!) we decided to fertilize and plant everything, Macy laid in the drive way on her blanket while we did all the hard work! We got everything done and i think it looks good, hopefully it stays that way. I need to get some more mulch to cover the flowers and we should be set for some blooming flowers this summer!! I am still deciding on what perennials to plant on the side of our house, I want to do hostas and something else, but just not sure what to do? After the hard working of planting we went for a much needed bike ride! It was great to get out and ride again, Welcome Spring :)

 I also decided to cross off another thing off my 101 things in 1001 days, i decided to make cupcakes from scratch, the recipe i had looked really good. So i spent the next 2 hours baking the cupcakes, making the frosting and frosting the cupcakes, Joe said they were good, but i thought they were a little dry.......

Sunday we went out to eat with my Mother in law, Father in law and Sister in Law and then we went to the Kernels game ( a local minor league baseball team) and we got a little sun our faces and my hubby had some red arms yesterday!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Until next time,
