PINK Saturday

Good Day My Pink

Loving Friends!

I have continued my obession with mosaics and created

another one for your PINK pleasure!

I even threw in a pretty PINK Rose sweater

I found while thrifting during the Holidays.

Who says you cannot wear pink and

roses at the same time? I do! lol

I even had to show you a ROCK I found from

a vendor at a local Farmers Market.

This guy gets the flat river rocks and can

carve anything you want...CREATE

really is what I am about!

Thanks for stopping by today!

I do apologize as of late...I have been so busy and

will be the next few weeks that I may be visiting you all later in the

week my pink friends!

Oh MY We Finally Got Some Snow

Hey there, my bloggin friends,

So some of you are probably saying *So What?*

about finally getting snow.

Okay, I will tell you.

Here in SE Michigan we usually get buckets

of snow each year.

Now, for some reason this year all the

major storms have gone all around us.

Oh yeah, we have some smaller snows

here and there...

But....this was the BIG one for us this year

so far.

I love how snow looks right after the it stops.

Fresh. Clean. Pure.

Love those piled on looks on our shrubs.

Pretty, Huh?

I gave you a few looks in back and front of our home.

Sorry bout the screens...

School was cancelled because of the snow.

I guess when you get more than an inch or two

its harder to keep up with the snow.

Plus this snow started yesterday morning and

went till late this morning..well actually I stil see

a few lighter flakes coming down.

Hubs and I are still battling our colds.  I hate

the coughing and hacking and achy feeling.

Haven't had a cold like this on in years!

So..I am drinking my E Tea (echinacea)

which boost your immune system

and

just trying to veg.

Might even paint a rose or two if

I can get motivated...

Hope everyone stays safe and warm today!

Toodles...Lorena

I've Got the Nasty Winter Cold!!!

Oh My Blogging Friends!

Well for the past few days I have been feeling PUG!!!

My hubs had been battling a cold off/on for weeks...

then last week he got worse.

I thought I might have scathed by and not gotten it.

Alas...Saturday I could fee this

crud coming on and by Sunday..

I was achy, stuffy and just plain

SICK!!!

I just wish I had a majic wand and it would be over.

Today I can tell I am a bit better...

coughing and hacking not included.

I was fortunate to have some antibiotics left

that I could use...shhhhhh

don't tell anyone.

I think it attached my sinus'...but they

are much better today.

Drugs are working!

But us MOM's never should get sick, right?

Cause my family...we maybe my dd...

forgets and needs her mommy when she is sick.

Yep, she's got it too!

We are bracing for the our basically 1st

REAL winter storm here in

Southeast Michigan.

Amazing how all the storms and gone around us

this year.

I guess we were bound to get it sooner or later!

Stay warm and healthy my friends!

Gentle HUGS...Lorena
