a weekend

boy, i take one day off from reading blogs and looking at pretty pictures and you all go crazy insane. it has taken almost all day to catch up...good thing i decided to be fairly lazy today. it's been a good weekend - mostly quiet though my sister ran me ragged yesterday. we did a bit of this...

spanishmoss

and that...



(my sister is the property manager)

and then after those, we did a bit of this...

and I got that



in lemondrop, not sour apple.

we went here and there (her store, not my taste really)

we went out and about....and all around.

after...we went to see wolverine. though it's not the best movie ever...it was exactly what i expected it to be (it is based on a comic book after all). everyone was happy.










today it was sunny



then it was rainy









it was hot (well, warm) because the air conditioner broke...but now it's cool again. life is ups and downs...hope your downs lead to soft landings and your ups are as fun and as exciting as happiest moment.

  3. I liked this fun and sunny post. Wishing I had a sister nearby. Maybe I would have ventured out with her. She'd have made me go out despite my comically-large bandaged finger.
    Love the purse. And I can never find anything I love in Chico's. Target is another story, though!

  6. I like the b/w of the steps. Very nice :) Great tones and composition. btw is that marble?

    Maybe a slight vignette to bring the viewer's attention more towards the centre would put a final polish on it?

    Cheers

  20. Love that spanish moss, and the cool, spooky photo of the trees in the rain. At first I thought that bag was a Fossil. I almost bought one very similar to that in a pretty coral red... maybe I'll ask for it for Mother's Day. :)

    Did you guys get some wicked rain storms in AL over the weekend? I thought I saw some tornado warnings up...

  22. Geez! I commented on this yesterday, but the computer obviously ate it. I am sure it was articulate and happy and slightly funny. Yes, I'm sure of it. Today, not so much. Here's what I've got: Fabulous post! Not funny or witty, I know. But, I do mean it.

  24. Beautiful! I know, though. I take off a few days to throw a party and I'm waaaaay behind on blogging. I feel so bad, like people think I won't take the time to read their blogs. I always try to stop by yours though :)
