Mother's Day

Do you have BAD HAIR DAYS???
Friday I was having a BAD HAIR DAY when the doorbell rang and the delivery man presented me with a box of flowers that came all the way from California!  I was brave enough to open the door with my bad hair AND NO MAKE-UP on.  How bad can it be?  well.

I told him Thank you for bringing these flowers to me!  He said a lot of people were glad to see him since he had flowers!

Lil Miss helped me open this box and these gorgeous flowers with a glass pink vase were inside waiting for me.  My Son, Daughter-i-l and Grandson from St. Louis sent me flowers for Mother's Day!
I loved the surprise and the beautiful roses mix.  2 red, 2 pink, 2 coral mixed in with greenery and another type of flower.
THANK YOU!  You made my day.

Sooooooo Pretty!
Mother's Day was a very pleasant one!  

On Saturday in the mail was a package from my Oklahoma Son, Daughter-i-l and 3 Grands and on the package it said DON'T OPEN TILL MOTHER'S DAY......'twas hard, but i managed to WAIT.  I was a good girl!  Inside was a gorgeous pearl necklace!  GORGEOUS.  What a sweet SURPRISE.  THANK YOU!  You made my day.

And I forgot to mention...another BAD HAIR DAY.

Sooooooo pretty!!!
Mother's Day was a very pleasant one!


On Sunday morning, Lil Miss was very excited to hand me a big Holly Hobbie Doll from her and her Momma!  Excited to receive her.  What a nice SURPRISE.  I have never had a Holly Hobbie Doll before...i love her.  She's sitting in my Parlor.  THANK YOU!!!  You made my day.  She reminds me of the people who pioneered on the Kansas Prairie and called her home.


Another BAD HAIR DAY?  Yes, so I showered and washed my mop top.

Sooooooo cute!!!
Mother's Day was a very pleasant one!

My SWEET husband who helped make ME a Momma had orange Kansas Wild Flowers waiting for me when I came downstairs.  They are so very pretty and their fragrance like a sweet perfume.  A beautiful card and package....tadaaaaa.  Coffee as well!  THANK YOU!!!

I will have to show you a picture of the beautiful framed scripture about Virtuous Women later.   In all of the excitement I didn't get a picture taken.  Trust me, this gift touched my heart and is very pretty.  A lovely addition to Home Haven.  THANK YOU!!!!  You made my day.

Sooooooo wonderful!!!
Mother's Day was a very pleasant one!


Hubby treated me to a trip to Topeka to tour The PARADE OF HOMES.  THANK YOU!  I love doing this.  I gather ideas.

We had a FANCY STARBUCKS Coffee.  A SKINNY LATTE.
Did some shopping at SAMs, Arby's Iced Tea and journeyed home.

T r i e d to have a good hair day, but the Kansas heat and wind dictated otherwise....so i just let my hair go wild and enjoyed my time.

These are only a few of the new houses we saw.  All were in the neighborhood of $300,000.  A new trend I noticed in these houses was that there was no Formal Living room/Parlor, but there were Formal Dining rooms.  The Living room was like a Family room with a Kitchen and eating area in an open space.  The Master Bedrooms were all very small with attached bathrooms, oversized closets, utility room right by the Master.  The Master was on one end of the house while the other two bedrooms were on the other end.  All had basements.

I walked away thinking I am more of a Traditionalist when it comes to houses to live in.  I like having a Formal Living room PLUS a Family room.  A actual Dining room separated from the rest of the house.
A great deal of neutral colors...lots of browns, tans, white.  Color in the rooms will be brought out with the accessories.

At any rate, I enjoyed seeing the new designs and houses.  My day was GREAT.
HOME IS WHERE YOU HANG YOUR HAT....the house you live in may not be as GREEN as Al Gore would want you to have or not have...i am very thankful that Al Gore isn't my God or my Boss.


CARDS TO ENJOY:

I place my cards out in the family room so I can easily look at them for a few extra days and enjoy.  My cards were placed on a mirror frame.


I LOVE MY FAMILY.
You all made me feel loved and very special.  THANK YOU!

Sweet sweet HOME HAVEN.  There's no place else on the planet like you.  Thank you God for my family, home and life.  I love you.
I had a LOVELY DAY.
Mother's Day was a very pleasant one!

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
MY FAMILY LOVES ME EVEN WHEN I HAVE A BAD HAIR DAY!  Grins.
That's a BONUS.

God Bless my Family and God Bless you.
Just like the card my daughter gave me said...Life Happens, LOVE Helps.
