Monday Musings
Tom and I were out of state over the weekend as we traveled with another couple , The Kimes, to Louisville, Kentucky to attend 2 baseball games of the Louisville Cardinals... Defiance's Dace Kime is one of the pitchers on the Cardinals team... The weather was fabulous... trees were in bloom as well as bulb plants were strutting their spring display...
Take on a fresh look about the home... I would like to bring in a touch more of international look to my home but most likely it will not happen and I will just play musical chairs and stack and cluster as I always do to bring a new look for the eyes to behold... I am thinking I should bring some of my pink rose china plates out of cabinets to add a touch of spring confection to my home..

Tuesday Musings
Storms throughout the overnight hours... some heavier in outlining areas, but the sun is shinning brightly and warming the earth today... Hard to make it seem like we are still in winter...
The two sweet little birds that have nested on my front porch have arrived back once again as I am always amazed at their return and survival....
Yesterday I read a lovely idea and really had never given any thought until the suggestion logged into my mind... Have friends over for a small brunch for a very cost friendly idea of a book exchange... It can be as simple as a beverage and a dessert or snacks... One could also ask the guest to bring a dessert to share and maybe 3 books they have read and enjoyed to swap and share with other attending... I also was thinking it would be nice to make a favor of a altered art book marker for each guest to take... I think a sweet invitation of handwritten words is always special also...as I feel it is becoming a long wonder art.... My thoughts would be a lovely time to gather when our yards have been cleaned from winters ravage.. spring has past it's prime and lovely flowers have been sit into the ground and containers... I love small gatherings of friends and shared musings... I really have this strongly in my mind as I have acquired so many wonderful readings the past couple months to hold in my hand and past time with the peace and enjoyment... Sending wishes to enjoy your day and I am off to read and relax till later this afternoon before the need to prepare supper will be upon me... Enjoy....

A Bit Of Time For Myself
Tom is off to Indianapolis, Indiana to spend time with his son and grandchildren and to attend the NCAA Big Ten tournaments and cheer on his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes.... I will sit in my lazy boy and view it from the confines of my living room... I do not attend games of that amount of people... After my heart attack I have had attacks of vertigo with large amounts of people and heights of which I never suffered before... It is a time he loves to spend with his son and I am sure they are on the golf course right now together although it is really not quite golf weather... chilly... windy... but the sun is shinning and they are not fair weather golfers so I can see the smile on both their faces right now....
Last evening we attended the guys basketball tournament and it was our Tinora Rams last game for this season... We had a fair season and I am very proud of our guys in the green and white as they are a great group of guys that give it their all till it's over... Sometimes life can be hard to do that... Everyday living can be really tough on given days....
Back to the books ... they are hard truths told of the struggles and challenges but leaves you wanting to cheer on marriage... these two books are truly a amazing and humbling experience in reading and exploring your own life .... I thought book one was wonderful reading but book two was even much better...I am off to finish the last few pages....

Musings In Thoughts
I received my Romantic Homes magazine this past week and I was so pleasantly surprised.. it seemed to be more the magazine I remember of past years that I loved more... Love the simple sharing of the idea of the lunch sack trimmed with cupcake papers...and oh so cost friendly and sweet... Many other objects and decorating in soft colors makes the thought of spring all the more alluring and the yearning stronger... I just felt this issue just a had a gift for charm...
I have tucked a few samplings of Easter around my home... a couple sweet bunnies and of course some eggs all tucked into hand made old book page paper shred... I love the color and texture of the paper shred...
I hope all of you my friends and followers are finding the right portions of peace and happiness as they are, oh, so a necessary recipe for living life and enjoying moments...
