This is a picture my new garden ornament!! A antique bike. It is from the 1950's. 3 speed with speedometer and mudflap lol.... I don't have a garden to put it in right now but I will some day. I got the idea when I was visiting one of my favorite blogs Mish Mash. She bought a red antique bike and I thought it was a fabulous idea!!

Fathers Day

Happy Monday everybody. Well we had a warm weekend here and my husband and I got a ton accomplished. The garden is officially planted!! We have been working on it for 3 years. We had to clear, stump, root, haul in more dirt, rototiller, and fence. It was a long process but we are finally done. Well Kinda next year we are adding in strawberries and raspberry also a row of alternating purple and white lilacs in the back. Oh heck we will never be done... but at least we will have fresh veggies in a couple of months..Here are a couple of pictures I will send more when it is up and bloomed ...

I also thought I would add in a couple of pictures of my dogs ...they got groomed on Saturday..( Out with the winter coat and in with the summer coat)... they all look so cute ..

Surprise Party for Grandma

This weekend we had a surprise party for my grandma. She was so very surprise. My grandma has always wanted to go to Hawaii so for her present that is where she is going. They presented her gift with a wonderful poem and a box full of leis, grass skirts and sunglasses. It was priceless :)

So Surprised :)

I was given the pleasure of making the card and this is what I made. I forgot to take pictures of the inside and also the envelope... It turned out just beautiful. I was so happy with it...
