Pink Pancakes and Poodles

We are leaving tomorrow for the Cherry Blossom festival in Macon, Ga. We go every year. It started a week ago but we like this weekend because it is the arts and crafts weekend. We will off course be dining on pink pancakes Saturday morning. It is all you can eat PINK pancakes and sausage and coffee, milk and juice for $5 and the money goes to cancer so I make sure we go to that. Usually we stand in a long line wrapped around a huge tent waiting to get in. But something about pink pancakes makes them taste so much better and of course it is for a great cause. They are having a dog event and a sea lion show in the same park afterwards so I hope to see them before we head over to the arts and crafts downtown. I am hoping the rain will hold off. There is always a poodle there that they have died pink! I will try to find it and take its picture! Poor Dog! We will be taking Maggie with us but she won't be pink! Hope you all have a safe and happy weekend. I am looking forward to being back home and sleeping in my bed. Cas is off until next Friday so we plan on sleeping in and working in the yard.

Wordless Wednesday

Ahh this is how I feel on the rainy Wednesday too!

Toile Tuesday

I have seen a bunch of the blogging ladies taking part in "Toile Tuesday". I do love some toile! Here is the fabric I picked up for our bathroom curtain that I picked up while at Old Time Pottery. Oh how I love that place! Let me count the ways!


Their is little rabbits in the toile!

Scary States

I was reading through some things on AOL this morning and I read this. The statistics speak for themselves without me having to go into how scary this is. If you want another eye opening read check online to see how many people live in your area that have been convicted of crimes against children (molesters and such). We will never have children that are old enough to play in the yard in this house.

Most Dangerous States

No. 12: Georgia

Georgia makes the most shocking move on this year's list -- rising a full 7 spots up the ranking. Be careful Georgia, or soon you'll be in the top ten!

Rankings in Crime (out of 50 states)
(1 = Worst, 50 = Best)
Assault: 21
Burglary: 12
Murder: 6
Motor Vehicle Theft: 8
Rape: 42

No. 13: Alabama

Seems in Alabama, they get serious fast. While only ranking 22nd for assault, they rank No. 3 for murder.

Assault: 22
Burglary: 7
Murder: 3

Cussing Heard Round Cusseta

After working for awhile on one certain piece of furniture to put in our office we finally got it finished this weekend! Then one certain someone.......Ahem not me........stood it up to finish drying and moved off to another project in the yard. I was on the porch planting flowers in pots and he in the flower bed picking weeds. All of a sudden we heard a crash and glass shattering! We both turned to see our cabinet had fallen. There were some not so nice exclamations that came from our mouths when we saw our project in pieces. Our cabinet is now more of a hutch since one of the doors shattered! Ho hum......

I Am Home

I had a great time down south with Charity. I stayed with her at her parents house and we drove to Mobile/Daphne each day. We looked at some lovely homes and ate at two great restaurants, the Stage Coach and the Sugar Kettle. Both had awesome Southern food. We also found some great things at Old Time Pottery. Her Dad has a thrift shop so I came home with some great goodies! I look forward to spending more time with her when she moves down South!

Painting and a Planting

We are still working on the Spring Sprucing around the house. We have painted a cabinet and some other items this weekend and also planted some flowers. Home Depot was having a great deal--3 plants for a $1!!! We picked up a bunch and spruced up some flower pots!

Before--$2.00 at Big Lots

After--Spray Painted Gray with flakes of Black to look like concrete. I think I am going to do some more work on them!

The Cabbage and the Dusty Milner were still living from the winter spruce up.

Adding flowers to the front porch adds a lot for a little!

Headed South!

Ah the beach, seafood and fun! Oh OK fine I am not going to the beach but I will be in Mobile/Daphne so I can pretend. Maybe I will pass some nice seafood restaurants! One of my best friends Charity is in Monroeville at her parents house because she and her hubby are moving back to AL!!!!! So her and I and their daughter are going house hunting in Mobile, Daphne and the Spanish Fort area! If I could just get the rain to stop so I could get things to my car without getting soaked! I may not be sitting on the beach and dining on shrimp cocktail but I will have fun! See you in a few days!

Pardon The Interruption

Attention Readers: We Interrupt Blogging

Cas and I are currently in the process of Spring Cleaning. We spent well over 12 hours in the yard yesterday and we are so worn out. I am very sun burnt and sore from my lawn mowing (Ahem..yes I can mow the lawn). Now we have moved on to the house. We have already thrown out a lot and put things back in their proper place. I will be back to blogging tomorrow sometime! Are any of you on the edge of your chairs waiting yet?

While You Were Sleeping

I have changed the background to our blog a couple of times tonight. It was hard to read through the shamrocks and I wanted something "Spring". I have even learned how to do custom colors. Now I am not limited to 20 colors that do not match! You know things must match.

While I was perusing some Easter ideas I came upon this!!!!!!!!!
Seriously??????? I know we are in a recession but come on! It looks like a diaper has been put in here and tied up to be put in the trash and someone walked by the sharpie on the way to the trash and thought it would be funny to draw rabbit like features on it! The one on the left apparently smells really bad because he appears to be crying and his whiskers are all over the place. Atleast buy some wiggly eyes and construction paper at the dollar store if you really feel this is a craft you must partake in! You know on second thought I do believe Cas will open the refrigerator one morning to find his lunch tied like this!
Hippity Hoppity Easter's On It's Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
