{Hello friends}

  Hoping this finds my sister bloggers doing well on this windy Sunday afternoon. Yep, we've got a little wind howling around here and a tad cool but I am enjoying a lazy afternoon. My Sunday lunch crowd (my family) have left for the day so I am kicked back. Sunday menu today consisted of: Chicken and dressing Giblet gravy Italian green beans with ham Mac & Cheese Homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache.  Yep, they are little spoiled at Nana's house. I am not a huge fan of cakes with icing but it must have been good as one of the grands had two slices.  These gals and I have been friends for more years than I remember and since we've all retired within a few months apart in retirement and age (dating back to 4th grade in school) we try to get together once every 4-6 weeks. We always do something extra for our birthdays but was a tad late celebrating mine this year together due to other appointments that was a must. We always have a gr...

{Living the Good Life} and WINNER of "Gideon book"

Ooh don't you just love pretty nail polish? I do for sure. I have several boxes full of different colors of nail polish so my grandgirl Mallory picked out a few colors and placed them in the basket. But it wasn't to do my nails ....instead.... M y FEET! My grandgirl Mallory loves to do a pedi and this Nana was thrilled when she wanted to do a pedi for me!

So...she tells me that they have a lotion named after her so it must be really good!!! I let her pick out the color she wanted to use. She picked a coral color and then she spotted a bottle of sparkles she neede...

{Simple Beach Tablescape} and Giveaway!

It's time for a beach tablescape! Well I am going to go ahead and confess that I am more of your mountain kind of gal and in the winter months but there is just something about the beach that calls my name..... I started out with a centerpiece with some mason jars! You just gotta love a mason jar! I actually bought this at AC MOORE and you can use it for so many different things. It came with chalkboard tags to use if you wanted too. Just a few seashells and some flowers and I was good to go.  I love these plates I bought from Walmart. They are so summery looking. Found the cute place mats at the Dollar Tree.  I couldn't believe I found the color of blue I was looking for with the stainless steel flatware at Walgreen's.   And it was on SALE !!!! My kind of purchase! It didn't take me long to come up with a simple tablescape with the pretty blues, greens and yellows. And these goblets will always be my favorite to use. I had to hunt...
