Friday ....

Happy Friday, my dears. 

Welcome to the Blessed Hearth tonight.. 

I know that this is normally date night but I thought the best date that I could have would be right here at home.. smile.. 

Terry was away today doing wood errands and mowing the lawn up at the farm and I didn't go for once.. 

My paperwork has to be completely done by tomorrow night so I slaved away all day doing that.. 

Now the dear man is mowing the lawns here.. 

How did a workaholic like him match up with me is more than I can figure out.. smile.. 

Oh well... 42 years and counting.. 

I guess we must be used to each other by now.. 

I went to visit my Mom the day after I arrived back home.. 

On Wednesday, I guess..

 Terry and my step father split wood and we sat around and chatted..

 She likes showing me any new "old" dishes that she has picked up and I love looking through her MANY china cabinets.. 

Here are a couple of things I spied... grin..

Two dear little teapots... 

Aren't they sweet?  

She said I could have them if I would not sell them..

As if I would.. smile... 

She had a little cover for the first one but it did not fit.. 

I need to see if I can find one to for it... 

There are wee chickens picking for food on the left hand one..

I know it is hard to see.. Sorry.. 

Did you notice the jar of rooted plants?  

They are some of the violets that Terry had picked for me to do up salves.. 

I put them in the jar before I left and now they are all rooted.. 

I want to plant them and see if they come up next year... 

Here are some other little bird cups in a wee tea set that Mom gave me before...

I love old dishes with birds on them.. 

Are you dish lovers, too?.. 

I know my friend Suzanne is..

And so is my friend Pam.. 

Today is her birthday...Bless her heart.. 

Pam is like my sister...

She lives about an hour and a half from me and we talk most days.. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR ... 

One of the ladies who read my blog from Maine emailed me and let me know that my music was gone... 

Thank you, Donna...

As we live in Canada I had not realized that you girls could not hear it anymore, either.. 

Play list has completely stopped it all..

Anyway, I searched around and added a music widget  on 

my sidebar.. 

Just click on the ones you would like to hear.. 

I have not figured out yet how to get it to play all the time by itself but at least you can turn it on if you like.. 

I will add more music as I go...

Number 6 is my fave.. 

Oh, the joy of having the PEACE OF GOD..  

Hope you enjoy the music... 

Please let me know.. OK?

Well, I must go and try to catch up on my blogging.. 

I am way behind... 

I love reading the blogs.. 

They inspire and comfort me all at the same time.. 

I appreciate everyone...

Both bloggers and readers... 

You readers inspire me to write with your dear comments and I so look forward to them.. 

Have a blessed weekend..
