My Tuesday's Treasures!

 We sure do love our kitties!!

Last night Tabitha was playing with something she found on the floor - a rolly polly 'ball bug!'

She looked so pretty!

Then pretty Tabitha started posing by a painting I did long years ago.

Louis Dean found it in a storage building outside and I am going to do some work on it and give it a new life. I painted it for my mother back in 1991!

I woke up with cookies on my mind and went straight to the kitchen and turned the oven on!

The Fun-Fetti cookies turned out great!

As did the Lemon Fudge!

I packed two pieces in a small box and gave all six to Dr. Bloom today along with the cookies.

I love the word 'ROUTINE.'

My morning routine and my evening routine.

Making coffee and the bed.....

And I love routine doctor visits, too.

Since my bladder surgery in September, I have had NO UTIs or any kind of issue!

I praise God and thank Dr. Bloom for this.

My quality of life has vastly improved since I started seeing him.

I can sit through a movie or church service and I actually go in and out of a store or two without making a trip to the restroom.

Plus I sleep for hours at a time at night without getting up.

I remember all too well the nights I would get up dozens of times.

I was talking to my sister, Nita, tonight and told her I do not know how I functioned all those years when I kept a raging bladder infection going for literally years at a time.

It's amazing how we can cope with anything by the grace of God.....and I am so grateful to NOT have to deal with UTIs anymore.

I kept some of the lemon fudge but I did drop off s few pieces to friends this afternoon.

A little goes a long way as it is SO sweet! And so GOOD!

As is our Tuesday routine - Brenda and I met up at Irving Thrift this afternoon.

My four best buys today and Brenda found them all for me!

We both love Chico's jeans and Coldwater Creek things.

These cost a fraction what you would pay for them in the stores brand new and all were in really good shape! That long lacy denim kind of skirt is so me! I am going to love wearing that!

I'm all about all things FAMILY!

It's never too early for me to think about FALL!!!

I am, indeed, blessed!!

Four nice placemats for the den table.

Brenda and I only made one thrift store and then we stopped at Whataburger for a glass of tea and a good visit. Friends make life so much richer!

My very best Treasure today was when I came back home from the doctor's office.

I walked right in and Louis Dean greeted me as I sat my purse down in the living room. 

He asked me if I noticed anything and I said no. Then he instructed me to go BACK outside and come in again and this time to LOOK!

How did I miss this???

Right inside the front door!

He said he wanted me to know how special I am.

I think HE is the special one.

He's always said that the key to a happy marriage is thinking of the other one first.

If we both do that - it's a Win! WIN! situation.

I don't think the 'new' will ever wear off of our marriage. I truly hope it doesn't.

Louis Dean says he has had two wonderful wives and I am honored by that.
