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.

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...

The Gables, Clark and Carole
Hi All,
Some of you know that I have collected on Carole Lombard since I have been 20 yrs old. Hmmmmm, that makes it around 36 yrs I have been collecting and reading about her. She was such a terrific gal. She could walk in to today's world and not miss a beat. Her life tragically ended in 1942, in a plane crash. She was returning to her husband, Clark Gable. She had been selling war bond in her hometown of Ft. Wayne, IN. She was only 33. A bright spirit was lost that day.
March 29, 1939 was the day Gable and Lombard were married, so tomorrow would have been their 74th!

Another shot
Love this one
The diamond and ruby clips she is wearing on her hat and neckline, were a gift from Gable. She was wearing them at her death. Gable wore a chip of one of the pieces found in the wreckage, around his neck
The beautiful ranch, Encino. I was lucky enough to see it from the end of the drive
One of my favorites from the ranch
Too cute!
Another favorite, on the tailgate of their woody wagon, used for hunting trips
Something enticed me to read this book, when I was 20. I have been hooked on Carole, ever since!
Happy Easter to all.

This and That
Hi All,
I always enjoy my trips with my daughter. This time we rode the train to Chicago for a few days. Eat, shop, walk, rest, do it again the next day! Here are a few pics of our trip :)

The flower show at Macy's(the old Marshal Fields on State St)
Dinner at the Lux Bar
Lunch at The Walnut Room, in Marshall Fields on State
View of Lake Michigan, from our room
The Drake Hotel, where we stayed. Very old and beautiful
And Cocoa! I bought this for our camper and realized it was too big for the space, I had planned. Look who decided to make it a new dog bed! Guess it will stay here :)
Hope you all have a great rest of the week!
