Searching for Pot of Gold



Well St. Patricks Day is quickly approaching. I thought you might enjoy a picture I took a couple years ago of my neighbors house. St. Patricks day is a BIG day in our household because.....It is the Birthday of my Better Half. Everyone is always looking for that POT OF GOLD......I think I found it. I'm going to offer to house sit while their on vacation....It looks like the pot is somewhere in the kitchen....I'll let you know......One four leaf clover at a time........

Can you spell I.R.S

Next Year I'm going to be ORGANIZIED


Well it's time and I can't put it off any longer.......Where are all the shoe boxes?????....Where are all the gas receipts???? Can I deduct the damage done to my fence when the Circus Elephant escaped in July??????? What do you mean I can't write off all those shoes!!! I do a lot of shopping and I need to change shoes often so I don't develope fallen arches. Is this covered in my medical plan??? I hate this time of year......I have to be away from my blog for a few days so I can sort through all this mess.....I'll still sneak away and check out what you ladies are doing on your blogs.....see you in a few.....One Receipt at a time......

Yearning.......





I'd like to share with you, my two new finds from my Thrift Shop. My eyes keeps searching out flowers.....do you think I'm yearning for Spring? As I'm blogging, the weather report is calling for a couple inches of snow tonight........ugggg! I can't find any markings on the dinner size plates except for the name Ruth painted in the flowers. I just think they're charming. That's a word I don't use but it seemed to fit. For my bloggers in the South......spring is probably already knocking on your door......but up in the great Northwest......(It's as cold as a well-diggers blum).....One search at a time.......

Beatrix Potter







I just love the 6 prints by Beatrix Potter I found at my favorite Thrift Shop. They would be such a cute addition to a childs room ...but...my children are all grown. I framed them and put them on a small wall in the dining room.  I always associate Beatrix with Rabbits....but these have a couple different characters that are so sweet......One Rabbit at a time........
