I have been busy this weekend cleaning and organizing.  I have some magazines that I need to get rid of but can't bring myself to just throw them away.  I think I am going to offer them up on face book.  If no one wants them, I'm not sure what I will do with them. 

While cleaning and organizing, I decided to tackle a closet or two.  I found some clothes that I forgot that I own.  I am going to wash them and incorporate them into my present wardrobe.  Classics never go out of style.  I also found a few things that I had outgrown, but since I have lost 20 pounds since the first of the year, they fit.  YAY!  I feel like a new person.

Please continue to keep the people in Oklahoma in your prayers.  They have had more than their fair share of disaster.

I hope everyone has a good Monday.

Prayers for Oklahoma

We need to keep the people of Oklahoma in our thoughts and prayers.  I don't think I have ever seen anything so horrible.  Makes my problems look very small.

I'm Still Here

Things have been pretty busy lately.  I have been fairly busy at work.  I have also been busy at home trying to do some projects that I have neglected for a couple of years.  I have been trying to clean out and organize my belongings.  When I go to my mother's house, she keeps me busy cleaning and organizing.  She had trouble with her knees for a couple of years and neglected some things.  Now that she has two new knees, she is trying to catch up.  Maybe by mid-summer, we will have everything the way we want it.  Wish us luck!

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

I went to Williamsburg, Virginia a couple of weeks ago. BFF MAB enjoy a trip there about every two years.  We were there in October and decided to do another trip in April   The area is one of my favorite places.  I never fail to learn something new while I am there.  I have a degree in history, plus I am descended from a colonial family.  I enjoy learning about my ancestors peers. 

It's not all history in Williamsburg.  We enjoyed some great shopping while there.  One night, we went to the outlets.  I bought a basic white blouse at the Brooks Brothers outlet, a azalea cardigan and a multi-strand faux pearl necklace at the J Crew outlet and a couple of pairs of earrings at the Kate Spade outlet.  Next door at the Talbot's outlet, I bought a white tee and a 3/4 sleeved red cardigan.  One rainy morning, we went to the "old lady outlet center".  I was able to replace my Pendleton Lana skirts with a smaller size.  I bought black, navy, camel and charcoal gray.  I now have some skirts that fit.  I also bought a white OCBD and a pink blouse.  In the historic area, I bought a few more pieces of tavern dishes and a cute little tea cup with strainer.  The tea cup is white with a blue pineapple.  I like blue/white porcelain plus I like pineapples.  I didn't have good luck at Binn's.  I hoped to buy some navy shoes, but did not see any. 

There is also good food in the area.  We enjoyed meals at three of the taverns and breakfast at the Old Chickahominy House.  One night, we had a good meal at the Carrot Tree in Yorktown.  I ate more than my share of treats from the Raleigh Tavern Bake Shop.   Believe it or not, I only gained 1/2 a pound.  

I hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. 

Toomer Oaks

The Toomer Oaks are no more.  They came down today.  Such a sad thing.  Some people take the rivalry just a little bit too far.

War Eagle!

Pray for Boston

Please pray for everyone that is effected by the tragedy in Boston.  What kind of evil person can do something like this?  Maybe we will have answers soon.

Lilly Pulitzer RIP

The world lost a fashion icon today.  Lilly Pulitzer was the Queen of Pink and Green. She will be missed by all.
