Good Morning,hope all is well in blogland.   We are back in a cold snap here,brrrrrr,my poor tulips and daffodills are laying down on the ground,so sad.    Well,with the weather frosty and still on a suger high from Easter,I decided to do some tinkering in the porch last night.  Wanted a change on the fireplace mantle and front. Doesn`t look like much but did do a little switching up, a before and after shot. Not to sure if it will stay like that, but I gave up for the night.   This Friday there is a big Antique show and sale,yey!!!! I saved my money waiting for this sale to come,it`s one of the biggest Antique sales in Winnipeg.   So maybe I will find a real treasure there and join it by or on the fireplace.   Thanks for stopping by,enjoy the day,Bear Hugs Francine.

Good Day,here are a few pictures of my neices new baby Oscar. He is 2 months old,all the way from Toronto. Had his first plane ride, Amanda said he was a good boy,slept most of the way.     That is my middle sis holding him, and below my wonderful mother,his Great Grandma.   I had pictures of me holding him but the camera broke,tee hee,no, they turned out  dark and taken sideways,but will show you anyway.    We had a wonderful visit with him, can`t wait to see him again.  Warm Blessings Francine.

Hello,well all the hoopla of Easter is over. Hope you all had a wonderful day filled with family,laughter  and good food.   I ate way to much yummy food and chocolate, whew, but had such a great day with family. Meet my neices new baby little Oscar,oh how I love baby cuddles, a little piece of heaven,ahhhhhhh. Came home and hit the sack early and slept like a baby, busy day but a day filled with love.    Warm Blessings to you all,Francine.

Good Evening, this is my sweet little girl Angel. Oh how I love her so.   I rescued her 2 years ago, she was a dirty,scared  girl at 5 years old.  Her coat was so matted and her nails so long they were curled right around,she was actually walking on the curled nails,almost digging in her little pads.  She has come along way, but she does still have her bad days,but what women dosn`t,LOL.    She is my little shadow,always near,makes my days so much brighter.This is her favorite spot,curled up on a pillow. Blessings to you all, Francine.

Happy April 1st,finally the sun came out,sure is wonderful to feel the warmth of it,really has been to long.   Going to go outside now with coffee in hand and sit and finish my first rug hook.  Guess I will get better as I go, having fun doing it. Will also learn from my mistakes.   Hope you all have a great day,enjoy, Francine.
