It's a Tea Party

Are you attending a tea party tomorrow, tax day?
Go here to find out if there is one organized for your town.
Jeff, my intrepid Mum, and I will be there.

Spring flowers

A separate post, so as not to bore you.

The garden is rampant with colour.
I couldn't resist sharing.

Checkered lilies, quirky little flowers.



Grape hyacinth, a modest, reliable bloomer.


A rather exotic daffodil.


Primulas, perennials which have multiplied profusely.


A close-up of the sweet hyacinth.


These little beauties flowered for the first time this year and smell heavenly. I think they're some kind of narcissus.


Not from my garden, but from my hubby.
Because I've been sick, I think.
Or maybe because he got his new car.

A Sweet Day (in more ways than one)

After work this morning, I met Annie, Bethany, Mum, and four kids to shop for wedding accoutrements.
Crazy, you say?
Indeed.
But nevertheless....mission accomplished:
Bridal shoes, fabric and pattern for bolero, chosen and purchased.

When we arrived home, the sun was shining fiercely on the deck.

We played.



And lay in the sun.


And played some more.



After a couple of hours, everybody got grumpy and then they went home.

Witness the remains of a very scrumptious box of chocolates, bought by mistake by me, at Grocery Outlet, on the way home.

Happy Easter

A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves.
"What are you doing in there?" She asked.


The rabbit replied:
"This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?",
To which the lady replied "Yes."
"Well," said the rabbit,

"I'm westing."

Ha!

Thanks to Uncle Ozzie for that one.

Announcement

Annie is getting married



to Edwin.

We think he's pretty cool.
He loves Annie.
He seems to "get" Annie.
So we love him too.
He comes with two little boys.
Whom we will add to our stable of little grandsons.

Edwin is a soldier in North Carolina.
The wedding will PROBABLY be in June.
We say "probably" because it is, after all, Annie.

Maybe it will be in August.

Or tomorrow!

A joke

What goes "Ha ha ha, boink"?

A man, laughing his head off!


Well, I thought it was hilarious.

Reluctant no more

Has it really only been two months?
Every time Obama opens his mouth, he pushes me more firmly to the right.
I want to say to him:
NO MORE APOLOGIES FOR LIBERATING IRAQ
NO MORE BOWING TO KINGS OF TERRORISTS



NO MORE WEAKENING OUR MILITARY STRENGTH
NO MORE RAMPANT SOCIALISM
NO MORE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ECONOMIC MESS HE INHERITED
NO MORE AMERICAN FUNDING OF OVERSEAS ABORTIONS
NO MORE FETAL STEM CELL RESEARCH
NO MORE NEW DRESSES FOR MICHELLE
NO MORE OBAMA

Feel free to add any more in the comments section.
I may have missed a couple!

I am mad and I am going to demonstrate.

You could come too.
