Monday News and Tuesday Treasures!

 Monday was Louis Dean's appointment for his echocardiogram at 3:00.
This allowed us to have a liesurely morning to enjoy our coffee and quiet time.
I gave LD a nice haircut and he took a hot soaking bath before we were ready to go.


We always take a selfie as we sit in the waiting room at his appointments.
He decided to play it cute and whisper in my ear!
Now he's through with all medical visits until July and this makes him so happy.


I picked a good movie to celebrate.


CATS is his favorite musical of all time and he was thrilled!

Tuesday morning I was amazed to find LD and I slept right through a weather event.
High winds hit Irving and did some serious damage in a random manner.
We had rain but escaped the violent wind damage.
Only thing I had to do was pick up the trash that the wind had scattered all over the yard.


While I was wandering around the yard I noticed the daffidils were nearly ready to bloom.


Our bird house are all ocuppied with cheeping babies and busy parents.


I love my Tuesdays!
I love my morning routines.

Brenda and I haven't had a Tuesday Treasure day in weeks so I have been forward to seeing her.


God blesses me in so many special ways.
Thrifting is one of them.
I am decorating Louis Dean's bathroom in a western/John Wayne style and just look at all the treasures I found.


Brenda spied the brand new Cowboy lamp as we were about to check out.
She held my place in line while I went over to take a look.
$24 - a little pricey but just perfect - so I grabbed it!
And to make it even better - it rang up 50% off!!
Win! WIN!!





Tonight I ordered a western themed shower curtain and I can't wait  to show you how I styled his bathroom!


Another find was this small deck box!


Another Brenda find is this daisy crocheted throw.
Not sure if I will use it in the sewing room or the gazebo.
We'll see.


I used to call this a summer frock!


And another one!


A set of silky pillow shams for the guest room.


Brenda spied this unique Chico's top!
Score!!


I'm going to use these two cute lamps in the gazebo - which is still wearing her fall clothes.


Dinner using the last of the smoked sausage and two potatoes left from Monday's supper.


It was delicious!!

  4. LD looks so cute in your selfies, and so happy. Bob is never happy, always grumping, 24/7 and I can't get him to watch a movie, he sits all day and watches the motor trend channel and argues with them like they can hear him.
    is he one miserable person and that makes me miserable too. the daisy pillow is perfect to go with your bee decor and the dresses are so cute

  6. You did so great with your shopping finds! I can't wait to see the cowboy themed bathroom when you get it done. And I just have to say thanks again for sharing your book. I am hanging on your every word. I have cried and laughed and been inspired by your life. You are a gift to us all and you are very brave to share it. Sweet hugs to you and LD! Diane

  8. That was quite a storm! Like you, we had what they say was a small tornado close by, but no real damage. Just a few things blown over. I always enjoy seeing your Tuesday treasures!

  13. Our thrift store got a huge donation of housewares that were Macy's overstocks. We went today to try to purchase an air fryer - but the two they had were already sold. However, they did have free pastries/bread/cookies/oranges/bananas and we got some of those.

  14. No one has thrift stores like yours. I guess everything is better in Texas!! I am going to our Community Trift store tomorrow morning. I will pray to have your eye tomorrow and find some treasures!! Love your summer frocks! You will look adorable in them. I'm getting ready to pull down the Spring Decorations as soon as I can get my son over to help me put the Christmas bins back in the storage unit. The selfie of you and Louis Dean is just precious. I'm learning to use the airfryer and we are truly enjoying it. You food always looks so tasty and colorful. Love the way you can just "throw" things together and make it look gourmet!! Love and Hugs dear friend.

  15. Good news on the medical appointments being over until summer months and hope that LD’s went well, Linda. Your at home celebration sounded great and the meal looked good too😋 Thrift finds are fun and lately I have been donating things that hopefully will find new homes and bring joy to thrifters too.
