PINK SATURDAY & OUR HERO IS HOME

NO PINK THIS WEEK!!! Sorry! You can find some pink here with Beverly!

Our hero is home!!! Welcome home Bob! You will never know how much you were missed. We are so proud of you! Thank you God for keeping him safe!

I want to thank all my blogging friends for all your thoughts, prayers and comments during this past year. You don't know how much of a comfort they were to me! I will always be greatful! I feel like I can finally breath now that he's home!
I'm posting some pics today and a friend took some at that airport of all of us together but I have not caught up with her to get them yet. I will post them later.

As you can see in the pic above Bowser was very happy to see Bob! They are buds!

Above is the flag I made to welcome Bob home at the airport.

Our hero! We love you Bob!

Bob and a good friend from our town that he was deployed with.

The last formation before the were released!

That little white speck in the sky was our first sighting of his airplane.

Here's the plane on the ground.

Oh happy day!!!!!

Some of you might remember when I purchased this cute little plate at a Flea Market. I had it on a shelf above my kitchen sink. Everytime I looked at it I sent up a prayer for my son.

Well I packed that one away now and have out my cute little happy cottage front porch plate. Now I look and that and send up a prayer of thanks for bringing my son home. This porch is so me, just a little peaceful place to be with family and friends.

Thank you all for stopping by and thank you so much for your prayers and friendship.

Blessings, Shirl

PINK SATURDAY & VALENTINE BLESSINGS Feb. 12, 2011

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event!

I've missed you all, I've had so much going on here that I have not posted for the past two weeks. We had a major snow storm and our power was out for five days. My husband and I watch "Little House on the Praire" every evening after dinner and we love it, but let me tell you after going without power that long, I don't envy their life style at all! We have a generator but it only gives us two plugs so you have plug and unplug constantly. This was one happy gal when our power came back on. LOL

I also fell and hurt my back and my knee. The pain in my knee is not letting up so I guess I'm gonna have to give up and go to my Dr. to see what's up with it.

My son is on his journey home from Afghanistan. He should be in Wisconsin on Sunday and home in WV by the 18th. Hopefully by the time I post again we will have him back home with us.
It's been a long year and we are so thankful that he has made it through so far. Still holding our breath until he is safe at home.

For my pink this week I have a few more of my Valentine decortaions. A little cross stitch kitten all decked out in hearts and roses.

My kitchen window sill.

A little cross stitched goose in a candlestand that my daughter Jen painted roses on.

I painted these little figurines in the 70's, I still treasure them.

Another cross stitched Valentine.

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was great to visit with you. Good Lord willing my son will be home next week and I'll have some coming home pics.

Blessings, Shirl

PINK SATURDAY & VALENTINE TREE Jan. 22, 2011

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday. It's so cold here in West Virginia, down to 6 already tonight and going lower. I am so ready for spring! Thank you all so much who come to visit me and leave such nice comments. I enjoy your comments I really appreciate your taking the time to do that!

We had snowstorm overnight so another snow day off from school for me, finished putting my Valentine tree up and I thought I'd share the pinkness with you.
I'm still painting and de-stashing my sewing room. It's coming out so pretty! I can't wait to share the pictures with you.

Holly Hobbie that I cross stitched years ago. I just love her!

A little Februay pillow I made a few years ago.

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you. I will be by to see you all, sometimes I make my visits throughout the week, not just on Saturday. I wish a peaceful week for you!

Love, Shirl

PINK SATURDAY JAN.15,2011

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. If you go to visit her you can get a list of all the other participants.

This week I started pulling out my Valentine decorations. I had two snow days off from school this week and two days off last week. I started painting my sewing room, what a job that is turning out to be. I'll share pics when I'm done.

Below is a cute little cross stitch that I bought at a Flea Market and made into a little wall hanging quilt.

A peek at what we have been looking at here in WV since December 1st.

I can't decorate my front porch for Valentine's Day because the Christmas decorations are frozen, can't budge them!

Believe it or not this is the farm road through my farm going back to my daughter and son's homes.

A cute little pearl heart with fabric rose that I made last year.

Valentine wreath on my front door.

Isn't she sweet?

A few close-ups of my Valentine tree, I'm not finished with it yet so I will post pics next week of the whole tree.

My old green chair in the foyer.

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you! I hope you all have a wonderful week!

I wish you peace! Shirl
