A Pink Eye and a Pink Room . . .

I've been pretty much thrown for a loop with viral conjunctivitis (aka "pink eye") this week.  It's like your regular run of the mill pink eye ~ itching, burning, oozing, watery and annoying ~ except, being that it's of the viral persuasion, medicine won't help it.  It has to run its course of seven (YES, SEVEN!!) days of all that and more (stabbing, can't open my eye pain) before it will finally start to feel better.  Tomorrow is the seventh day and I think it's just starting to get better today.  I'm able to keep it open for longer periods of time and I was even able to put my eye to my camera which is something I haven't done in a few days and haven't even missed doing.  That is how I KNOW something is wrong!!  : )

I thought I'd spare you a photo of my eye but I wanted to show you some photos of Megan helping her Daddy paint her new room.  I'm not 100 percent sold on the color yet but I think with the white trim, white curtains and white furniture it should be okay. 

Lots of hard work has been put into this new room of hers.  I can't wait to post photos of the finished product!! 


Many blessings for a happy Saturday ~ Wendy

This Moment . . .

                                                              
A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

 Many blessings for a wonderful weekend full of creativity ~ Wendy

I'm Lovin' the Lime . . .

When my husband and I first met and things started to become serious between us, I made it pretty clear to him that I had no intention of moving out of my house. The boys were well established in school and sports and had lots of friends and how could I ever leave a community that had so incredibly embraced us after the death of my first husband.

He completely understood. He had no baggage when we met. Not even a cat. He thought he was going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. But as the saying goes, "We plan and God laughs."

My husband had started a very large addition on his house that would pretty much turn it into the house of his dreams. Then God laughed in the form of three young boys in need of a father and one woman who has never "needed" a man but was ready again for the companionship that one brings. We met for our first date after speaking back and forth via eHarmony (yes it really does work!!) for a couple of weeks, looked into each other's eyes and have never looked back since.

Several weeks ago, after hours upon hours of work that needed to be done in order to get the house in selling condition, the house sold. It is now time to concentrate on my, excuse me, our little cottage.

I've been looking thru endless magazines and ripping pages out and am starting to create a scrap book filled with things that catch my eye as far as decorating goes. My problem is that I can have one thing in mind and then I see a picture of something else and then I change my mind.

The one thing that seems to be consistent lately, though, is my love for lime.

I don't know how keen the men in this house are on lime but they better get used to it 'cause I've decided I'm going with it for the upstairs bathroom. And nothing is going to make me change my mind!! : )

Many blessings ~ Wendy
