Bowls & Pitchers!

Good Morning!

Today I thought that I'd share with you my bowl and pitcher that is sitting inside my Early American/Colonial Wash Stand that I found at a yard sale several years ago. My husband bought me my bowl and pitcher to put inside my stand.. Click on each of the pictures to enlarge them if you'd like a closer look..





This is my 2nd bowl and pitcher set..

This is the bowl to the pitcher that got broken...

I had a really pretty bowl and pitcher set that my husband had got me for one of our anniversary's, and one day, back when Daniel and his friend Brian were in 7th grade, they were goofing around inside the house socking at each other, and before I knew it, Brian hit my bowl and/or pitcher with his arm, elbow, hand, whatever it was and the pitcher fell to the floor and broke, not able to be repaired.. Needless to say, it broke my heart as I had that bowl and pitcher for many years and it had a whole lot of sentimental value to me.. It was like my very own antique piece... But, my husband found me another bowl and pitcher that I have pitctured, which is also very pretty... The one that got broke was also blue, and had a beautiful big pink rose displayed on it... The bowl is a very pretty light blue with a very pretty design within the edges... But, things like that happen... I forgave Brian...but it took me a little while, as he was laughing when it fell down and broke and I couldn't believe that he was laughing, as I was almost totally in tears! I remember telling him that I can't go and buy another one just like it, as Dan got that for me for our anniversary a long time ago.. He did tell me that he was sorry... but the damage was already done.. and my ♥ was broken... Have you had times like that too? Where something that meant so much to you got broken, and there was no way possible that you could find another one just exactly like it?  The bowl and pitcher set that I have now, means almost as much to me as that first set did.. because  it is something really special given to me from my husband,  Dan.♥

Thank you so much for visiting me today! Have a wonderful day!

~I Did It!~

Good Morning~
It is 29 degrees here this morning with a wind chill factor making it feel like 18 degrees.. Brrrrr! I hope you all are staying warm and being safe too, if having to be out and about in this cold and snowy weather.. We don't have any snow, but do have the ohhhhh, so cold temps here. Hopefully a warming trend will come soon, for all of us!!

My son Jamie called me this morning on his way driving to work, and he said they've been having alot of earthquakes in California, and that over the past 24 hours, they've been happening quite frequent... He said he'd be sitting there watching tv, and his couch would start to shake, or he'd be in bed, and his bed would shake.. or he'd be eating at his diningroom table, and the table would start shaking...  I guess the earthquakes have been in the 3-4 range on the rictor scale.. Just enough to really notice that something's happening,  I'd say! The last one we had here was close to a 5 on the rictor scale, not very long ago. Wow! I thought my house was going to fall apart from all that shaking! It was so weird.. the inside pressure within the house felt sooo different.. My head felt like when you are having a real bad head cold, where your head feels like a bowling ball..and you're all stuffied up!  Then it was like someone grabbed our house and just started shaking it back and forth.. which seemed to last forever to me! My hubby was a few miles away getting a haircut, and he said that he also felt it there, and said how weird everything was... Kinda scary! This has been the worst earthquake I've felt since living here.. but it doesn't even come close to how it was being in the Tornado I mentioned to you the other day.. Talk about scary! Again... I'll share more of that story with you another time..

Thank you all so much for your comments on my post yesterday! I went to my Weight Watcher's meeting, and I did have a .8 lb. loss. It's not alot, but, at least it was a loss for me. I hope I can just keep it going in that direction from here on out now! Yes Bernie, we can do and work at this weight loss thing together! That'd be great! I also am sharing spunkysuzi's blog link, as she is a great lady to stay motivated with too.. Here is her  link..http://spunkysuzi.blogspot.com/
Lisa, you were wondering where I got the model info... here is the link...http://www.mvm.com/cs/  It really is pretty neat to have an idea as to how others might see you at a certain weight... Let me know if it works for you, okay? Thanks! Here's a picture of my model weighing in at 108 pounds, the weight that I was for twenty years or so...

This is a model of me at 108 pounds~

This is a model of me at my current weight~

This is a model of me at my goal weight~

I don't want to get back down to 108*, but I sure would like to get down to my goal weight or even ten pounds below that if I could...
Hope you don't mind me sharing the same pictures of the two models at my weight now, and the model at my goal weight again with you all..  

                                                           
You all have a wonderful day! Take care & Stay safe and warm!!♥♥

~Something Fishy Goin On Here!~

Good Morning~
Are you almost or already all done with your Chritstmas shopping? Got it all wrapped and under the tree yet, or have you sent it out to your family and love one's yet?  My husband and I got our granddaughter's and great grandchildren's wrapped and sent out yesterday, and then we are sending out our son and daughter's today.. Then, we'll just have Daniel to wrap for, along with a few things for his girlfriend and her two children.. Shouldn't take us too long.. I'm getting there by golly!

I did find a couple extra hours to get my hair cut and colored Tuesday.. Have received a few compliments on it already, which really makes me feel quite good! I don't have a picture of my new do yet, but I do have a couple of pictures that I wanted to share with you. This is on the inside of where I go to get my hair done at.. It is called Hair Rage IV, and I love going there! Be sure to click on the pictures to make each one larger and better to see.. Thanks, and hope you enjoy them.

~This cement slap reminds me of a bridge that goes over the pond where the 6 fish are. The beautiful looking and  sounding water falls, fall over the rocks on the right side of this picture~

~These are 3 of the live fishes! Did you notice the black with orange one there on the left? I guess he's quite the jumper when it comes to feeding time!~ Wonder if his black/orange coloring represents the OSU football team?

~Time to eat everybody!!~

~I just love the way they have their stations all set up, especially for Christmas! I really love their furniture at the stations! Sooo pretty, and definately my style!!~



I also wanted to share that I went to my Weight Watcher's meeting yesterday, and I lost some weight! WooHoo!! That's a step in the right direction for me, that's for sure! I think I might just like this new Points Plus Weight Watcher's just started!!
You all have a great Thursday!! Thank you so much for stopping by!! Thank you to all of my new followers of my blog too! Welcome!!


Blessings,

~ California Here I Come!!~

Good Morning!
I am sooo excited!! I am going to California to visit and stay with each of my two older kids, Michele and Jamie..  They have been wanting me to come out and visit them, being that they both are living in California right now, sooo... I listened!! I leave next week!!  Michele said that we'll be able to check out a couple tourist spots while I'm staying with her, and Jamie said he'd take me to his workplace at his school so I can see his office and all, plus maybe check out a couple winery's too! Oh yes... we plan on doing lots and lots of shopping too!! We all love to shop!! I always have a great time when I'm with each one of my kids!

Today is supposed to be real hot again! 101*... We need rain sooo bad out our way! We water our yards often, but the rain sure would be so welcomed!

You all take care now, and have a wonderful day..

Please keep Penny in your prayers... She is needing to have surgery.. but her dr's are still not sure when it will happen.. It was supposed to be done yesterday, but they still are deciding when it will be.. as of yesterday..

Thank you!

Blessings,
