{Who says waiting on hair color to process has to be boring?}

HAPPY MONDAY Y'ALL! Yeah, I know, some of us are like..."Where did Friday go?. But, I always try to remember that if we don't have a Monday then there won't be a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or a Sunday! RIGHT? So, let us say, "Praise God for Mondays". So glad I can't hear what some of you might be whispering under your breath right about now. LOL!

I bet one of my homemade peanut butter chocolate chip cookies would make you feel better on a Monday morning. It will ME!  

No matter what kind of Monday I may have this picture brings a smile to my face.

 My one-year-old grandgirl eating a piece of corn on the cob and let me tell you, she can tear it up! 

So, recently I was having my hair colored a little. OKAY...a LOT.  When you have to ask your beautician what is the natural color of your hair then you know you've been coloring for a long time.....While I was waiting on the processing part I began to flip through magazines.  Out came the cell phone camera. I love looking at pictures that inspire me in some way so wanted to share a few.
 **Note: All the following pictures came from a magazine**

 I bet these are delicious but whether or not they are, this sure is a pretty dish isn't it?

I love everything about this. The plate, charger, napkin and the pretty ribbon.

I can't remember word for word that I read about this tablescape but it was called a "Elvis Presley" tablescape. My first thought was that this would be a great New Year tablescape.

Oh my! Be still my heart! YES, I love this!

Retro has certainly made its way back. I couldn't help but smile as I looked at this table and chairs. I love the colors. I read an article about a year ago that said, "The Farmhouse style kitchen was the most popular but Retro kitchens had indeed made its way back to the scene with even more bolder colors".

This last picture makes me want to "Host a tea party". 

I did manage to get my curtains up just so you know....I decided to keep them simple. A little tie back with some gray ribbon and a single rose. I have several different little areas in my room with red roses and I love how the color goes so well with the gray. 

I am happy.

 I found this cute mirror at Walmart marked down to $7. I snatched it up for my little room. 

  I wanted it a Colonial Red. So, after a couple of coats of spray paint it turned out just like I wanted. 

 Haven't decided yet what I am going to use my red planter box for. I spray painted it the same color of red and though you can't see it, on the front it says, ROSE. Thinking of maybe some white roses. Not sure though...

Remember my little planter box I found on clearance at Big Lots? Kitty, did you find you one?

 It turned out really pretty and now sits on my dining room table. 

We enjoyed watching the oldest grandchild play volleyball and I must add that she got the winning serve of the game....

 We grilled a few cabbage steaks. My friend Deb from Breathing in Grace sent me a recipe but I changed it up a tad and grilled instead of baked and it was delicious. 

Matter of fact we grilled cabbage steaks, asparagus, potatoes, corn, and chicken. 

I added a few fresh peppers out of the garden and it worked for me.  

And then guess what happened??????????????
MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us be glad and rejoice in it.      
Psalm 118:24
