PREPARATIONS FOR A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, SPRING BREAK IN THE BLUE RIDGE MTS. AND PATIO TIME

 

Good Morning Loves....
I hope this finds you happy and feeling good this April morning!
The weather has been gorgeous here in Texas, minus
an evening of thunderstorms, which is expected during
our spring months.
It's time to spruce up the yard, flower beds and patio for
the upcoming days.....

Today, as I write this post, our son is celebrating
a birthday....we are celebrating as a family Saturday
and will be meeting him for dinner tonight...
he is in town for work and finding a new home
back here in Texas so it's a very packed schedule in the
few days he is home.
I have a trip to Costco planned for our menu on Saturday...
should be a fun time!
I have bought many a birthday cake from Costco,
just in case you didn't know how wonderful their bakery is!

My hyacinth has bloomed every year since I planted it about
five years ago...and it's thriving through winter.....
I love seeing something I planted grow well.....
I consider it a gift of sorts.....
God shows us his love in many ways you know....

I don't know about you, but I adore hearing
wind chimes softly making their note sounds when the wind blows....
it's so peaceful.......

I sometimes make a good lunch for the darling and me
and today, it was the Mississippi Chicken Soup......

It's a very spicy chicken soup and would be
great if you were feeling a bit under the weather....

I also finally tried the new Chick Fil A' MAC AND CHEESE....
I will say, it's pretty delicious.....

And, how long has it been since you made
a vintage pear salad.....
Mother used to make this often....absolutely delicious!!!!!

Mae Mobely turned twelve on April 1st....
I love her to the moon and back.....

Over in Atlanta, Miss M packed up the family,
including Piper Rose and off they
went to a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains
for Spring Break ......

Oh yes.....cool weather, sunny skies, a cozy fire
and relaxing on the porch.....

I think I could get used to this........

Love this beautiful family......

The cocktail hour.....

Are you planning your Easter dinner?
Isn't Easter a lovely time to celebrate
all the goodness in life....
Loved your visit today......take good care!
