High 5 for FrIDaY !!

1. My husband is so sweet. I just love him ! He works so hard, does amazing work around the house, is thoughtful, kind, loving, funny, way smart, everybody likes Gary. Last weekend he was out of town working. I just did my usual laundry, cleaning house, I washed and cleaned out the vehicles, I worked in the yard...I try to do my part.....

When I got home Friday night - this is what I found on my pillow...

Isn't that just the bomb !!

2. Anyone who knows me - knows that I love PURSES. My husband thinks I have too many (but compared to his caps...I don't think so) I found this purse at Target. I love it. It has 4 pockets all around the outside. I love it so much, I went back and got a black one ( ya know, just in case) I found the wallet at Wal-Mart. I like it because it carries everything I need and if I don't want to carry a purse, it has a handle where I can just take it.

3. I am back on my "watch what you eat" diet. Really hate calling it diet, isn't everything we eat on "our" diet??
I found this wonderful recipe and made it this week....YUMMMEEEEE !

Skillet Pork and Cabbage:
Here is the link. I didn't flour my pork first, just browned them in the skillet with some PAM spray and salt and pepper....

4. My daughter-in-law Robyn introduced me to charming CHARLIE...OMGosh...I am in love. Unfortunately the closet one to me was about 30mins from home and work...UNTIL last Tuesday. They opened up one 10 minutes from work and right on my home.....isn't that the grandest............I was there yesterday...
If you don't know about it, all their GREAT stuff is grouped by color....so whatever you are looking for in whatever color....you just walk yourself right over to it - Guess which color I went to first

- PURPLE -

Among new silver earrings, purple blouse, purple shoes - I found these....just makes you think of SPRING...

5. This is really not a high five anything. Eating a peanut M/M - (not on my diet) I broke a tooth. It has to be a sign.....I got caught. Can't see the dentist until NEXT Tuesday.....lesson learned....

Put me in coach...

I think "team" sports is a must for the young. Nothing teaches patience, sharing, winning, losing, doing your best, there's no crying, no picking up and pampering by mom or dad or grandma or grandpa. No, "i can't" , "I won't", "leave me alone"...blah blah blah. It's the start to the rest of your life when you get out in the big, bad world, and most of all it exposes you to the love of sports.

Did you know, I LOVE SPORTS !!

This past weekend, my oldest grandson - CODY-man....started T- ball. T-ball is fun as it should be. I talked to Cody after his game and he informed me that he hit 2 homeruns (in t-ball, I think everyone hits a home-run, but don't tell Cody that).  He was so excited and I understand from his proud mom and dad - he did really well. Cody (as well as Jaycee) have that drive and competition in their blood

(maybe a trait from dad....)

This will be an excellent start for Cody into the world of "TEAMS"

..there is no "I" in team.

A lesson we could all stand to learn...

Way to go Cody ! Can't wait to see a game in person!!

Stop and Smell the Roses....

Yesterday my neice was involved in a ATV accident. Left her with broken ribs, broken leg, two collapsed lungs and numerous other injuries. She has a long road ahead. Sometimes, it takes a tragedy to make us all stop and think and remember that life is short and you should stop and smell the roses.

Today's task - I am going write down 3 inspirational quotes and post them where I will see them everyday.

(My bathroom mirror, my car dashboards and my desk at work !!)

Please join me by writing 3 quotes that speak to you and post them where you will see and read them everyday
......please share them with me....

Let's all have a great week - and remember those that you love

 and those that love you back!!
