A Great Read.....

A friend told me to read this book. It isn't a long book so I started it. It took a little time to get into the book because it is "out of the box" for me. This book has become very popular by word of mouth which is the best way to learn about a book. It has made me look at things in a different light. I am passing it on to Etiquettely Correct's fiance. Let me know if anyone has read it. I hope everyone has a good rest of the week. I love these four day work weeks.

Memorial Day Weekend early....

I am looking forward to the weekend...hubby gone golfing and my girls are coming home. We are going to the beach and watching "P.S. I love you" thanks to a fellow blogger! Can't wait to go home tonight...cleaning lady came today. A special thanks to all the service men and women who paid the ultimate price to keep us safe. I hope everyone flys their flag! We are blessed to live in this country. Fun weekend to all.

Charleston

My husband and I went to Charleston to help our son move into his new house. It was a lot of work but more fun...the more I go to Charleston the more I love it...there was sooooo much pink and green!!! I can't wait for ettiquettely correct to go there. The weather was perfect and when I left, I left happy for our son...Can't wait for Memorial Day Weekend. I might break down and go to the beach with the grandkids!

A Great Mother's Day Weekend

We went to this great fabric store and got the material for the childrens clothes for the wedding.

The little princess will be wearing off white Dupioni silk w/pink sash and the prince will wear brown Dupioni silk pants with off white shirt.




off white and chocolate brown silk

Aren't these the cutest princess shoes you have ever seen...

After this shopping we went looking for head pieces for the veil. I was treated to a wonderful weekend with my daughter.

I am one blessed mother. I have four wonderful children and one son in law and one son in law soon to be...plus a great husband. What more could I ask for. I hope everyone had a geat weekend. Have a great week.

Happy Mother's Day

I am getting ready to go see Etiquettely Correct. We are doing a fun girls weekend and some wedding plans. We are going to get the material for her veil. I will be making it. I hope that all the mothers out there have a Happy Mothers Day. There is no greater calling in life than to be a mother. I wouldn't have wanted anything else than my wonderful husband and four beautiful children.

Great Pound Cake

Not to be out done by Etiquettely Correct I have a wonderful and easy pound cake receipe. It feeds a lot of people and it never fails to come out right.

Almond Pound Cake

2 sticks of butter
3 cups of sugar
Beat well
6 eggs, one at a time beat well after each
3 cups of CAKE flour (Swans)
1/2 pt. of heavy cream
1/2 sm. bottle of almond extract

Beat well and spray a Bundt Pan well with Baker's Joy

Put into a COLD oven and set the temp at 325. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. It comes out perfect everytime. Great plain or with strawberries!

Enjoy!

Lovely weekend...

Good morning bloggers...back to the work grind. We had a lovely weekend in Charleston, SC. Boy I love that place. We went house hunting for my son. Then a little shopping in downtown. Boy all you girls who love pink and green would love shopping there. I have to find out how to post pics. I don't know how to do that yet. I did see a cute dress for Etiquettely Correct. Pink with a design and thought cute for the honeymoon...went in and the price was $275!! Too much for this mom. Hope everyone has a good week.
