Today has been a beautiful day. Gotta love this warm weather that has finally reached us here on the East Coast. Typical household chores today, then a quick trip to the local flower nursery and bought some annuals for the back deck and front stairs. Did some picking up outside, and a BBQ for supper.

Ohh, I forgot to share some news…a girlfriend who is pregnant, asked me to be her babies godmother. I of course said yes, and am so excited!! I hope my godchild is a girl!!

Other news I have forgotten to share…one of my girlfriends has been working on opening a school in Liberia. The school will open this September to 12 orphan girls, and the plan is to increase the number by 12 each year. For some information you can visit Gift4Hope. I have volunteered to put together 12 tote bags filled with crayons, markers, notebooks, along with toothpaste, toothbrushes etc, for each girl. If you would like to include 12 identical items {we cannot send food}, drop me a comment. The boxes will be mailed out first of July via cargo ship. Again, I look around at just how blessed I am in my life and if I can bring a smile to a little girls face and a sparkle in her eye I will have made a difference…

So, I don’t know where this is coming from {most of you will smile, and say, that’s our girl!}, but you know what, I really want to visit the Grand Canyon. Strange I know because I’ve never had this desire and it has suddenly hit me, that I want to see the Grand Canyon in person…oh, and of course the photo ops would be spectacular!!

I’ve worked on my couponing for the week, and have to tell you that I doubt they’ll be much excitement on that front. Here’s a couple of blogs that you can scope out:

To end todays post, here’s some pictures of the front steps and back deck from today.

I wish our backdeck was much bigger…but again, I am happy with what I have..but, it sure would be great if that dang thing was bigger!!

FUnny!! I just noticed I forgot to put the chairs out with the table…old age I tell you!

Until tomorrow, Happy Memorial Day. Peace and Remembrance to the men and women who sacrificied their lives for our country.
