Don'...A couple thoughts on your roadside finds. Don't paint them! They look so cool and vintage just like they are. I like the piece of wood just where you have it, and was going to suggest putting at the front of a flower bed like edging. As for the window, I don't have a great idea, but I immediately thought about leaving it on the floor and leaning it against a wall, maybe with a large heavy vase in front of it to hold it. That way Brian doesn't have to fret over the nail holes and you can move it around at will.

Yeah, I don't care much about my birthday anymore - I just celebrate being alive every day. My visits with Tim will be extra-special now, that's for sure.

That thrift shop is awfully nice looking. No wonder you find such perfect things. <br /><br />I will wish you a happy ignorance day for your birthday...lol. I never celebrate mine. And since my older brother decided when he turned 30 that we all had to drop the first number of our age, we no longer grow old anyway...lol Big brother are smart and have to be listened to right? ;-)<br /><br />I am sure something will twist in your heart as Tim leaves home very soon but remember that he is never really gone. He will be visiting his mom for his dose of unconditional love and good food. Enjoy the day of being all together. <br /><br />Hugs from Holland ~<br />HeidiHeidi's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00150536686843662052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-48996444470691931202013-08-07T00:22:51.156-07:002013-08-07T00:22:51.156-07:00It's the good kind of busy when you find thing...It's the good kind of busy when you find things as adorable as that aqua teapot and I always say it's better to be busy than to be bored!Magali@TheLittleWhiteHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787605249681670341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-162434630301666872013-08-06T19:09:57.552-07:002013-08-06T19:09:57.552-07:00Definitely a fun kind of busy, which is a good thi...Definitely a fun kind of busy, which is a good thing.

It must be so relaxing spending time in your living; so cozy, especially with those fun hits of turquoise! And, your garden is looking very sweet. What is Ezekiel bread? Never heard of it, but that grilled cheese and the soup look very yummy. Hope you have a wonderful party for your son and your birthday! Yay!

The only TV I watch during the day is sometimes catching Jeopardy. I rarely even watch TV at night.

I do much better with having a schedule. ;-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-4572415765163370102013-08-05T13:04:43.564-07:002013-08-05T13:04:43.564-07:00Oh wow.....I can almost taste that sandwich!

I wanted these little scatter rugs for my kitchen and only one store out of three in my area had them. I loved those rugs so much and used them for over three years until they finally died! I couldn't ever find anything like them again. I love your pictures in the window frame; I was actually contemplating buying a postcard of that same Van Gogh chair print just the other day. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-8785559569027654072013-08-05T12:19:55.332-07:002013-08-05T12:19:55.332-07:00I had to laugh when you said you stopped at your 5...I had to laugh when you said you stopped at your 5th Target for something.
