Our Vacation/Retirement Home

Hi All,
Husband is not quite retired, yet, but we took the plunge and bought a townhome in our beloved, Daytona Beach Shores, FL!  I was down there fore 8 days for closing, getting the place updated, and furnishing it.  Still more to do on all fronts, but I made a big dent.  I plan to go back down for another week, later in October.  Still more plumbing and lighting fixtures to be updated and more furniture coming.  Here are a few pics, though...

Hi!

Hi All!
It has been so  long since I have posted.  I guess I needed a little break.  Also, my parents are needing me more and more.  I am an only child, so I'm it for them, and of course, I am happy to be there for them, as they have always been there for me!
Anywhoo, a lot has been going on in my life.  I hosted an 80th birthday party for my Mother this past July, my daughter is pregnant with our first grandchild, yay!, we vacationed in Florida and decided to buy a townhouse, for our retirement.  We will be closing on it soon!  We just returned from NYC and a stay at the Waldorf Astoria and going to the US Open tennis!  So, with that said, I am just going to post a hodge podge of pictures!  Hope you all have been well, and hoping to be a more frequent blogger, in the future!
 Spring trip to San Francisco to see my son... Golden gate behind us...

Garden Walk Pt. 1

Hi All,
I think I have found some inspiration!  The roses have outdone themselves this year.  Here is part 1 of my tour.  I think we will start in the back yard, first.
 The Pergola
 

 My tiny vegetable garden, under a repurposed window...

 My new flagstone patio



Hope you enjoyed the garden walk.  I will be back next week with pics from the front!

Hi!

Hi All,
I haven't posted for a while. I was having trouble finding inspiration, but now the roses are blooming and the yard is coming along.  Also, my computer is on the blink and in the shop :(. I'm posting this from the IPad.
I will return soon with a yard post.  Hope you are all having a nice memorial day weekend!  Have I mentioned I LOVE my Flair?! Lol!!!

Finding Inspiration

Hi All,
This is the time of year that I find it hard to put together a post.  After winter, before the warmth has arrived.  It has been chilly here for so long.  I think we are all waiting for that outdoor weather.  I know when my roses start to bloom, I will find outdoor inspiration again!  For now, I will share some previous outdoor scenes around my house...



Happy Weekend to all!
