Mellow Yellow: Flowers

Drowsey Monkey began this meme... to see why and view the rules, check out her blog.


These are some lovely flowers on the corner of the path that leads to that great pond that we walk the dogs around every morning.....

These are the pretty flowers that were on the table of the Grand Hyatt Cypress Cove during our Sunday Brunch for our anniversary celebration.....

And these are just some beautiful flowers that my darling husband bought me just because he loves me and for no other reason. Isn't he the best??? I love him so much!




Hope you all have a fabulous week and get to see some wonderful signs of spring in your daily activities. Don't forget to check out the other participants and link your post on the Mellow Yellow Monday blog.

Blue Monday: Grand Hyatt Cypress Cove

Welcome to Blue Monday.....

This is the lake behind the Grand Hyatt Cypress Cove in Orlando where Bill and I had Sunday Brunch for our anniversary and on Easter Sunday. The entire property is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is wonderful. If you are ever in the Disney area, you have to stop there to take in the sights.

Donation to the Salvation Army Will Reward Many

I heard this from a friend of mine earlier today, it sounds like a great idea for all of us. It helps us get rid of the clutter in our homes and can help lots of other people who need a helping hand. Please see what she wrote to our reading group"

"Clearing out clutter in your home this week? Drop some of it off at a participating Salvation Army Thrift Store by May 31, 2010, and you'll get a free $10 gift card.

From The Salvation Army blog:
For in-kind donations you contribute between April 1 and May 31 to select Salvation Army Family Thrift Stores, you will be thanked with a $10 gift certificate to any Phillips-Van Heusen, IZOD, or Bass retail stores. Participating Salvation Army stores will provide you with a dated receipt for your generous donations and a coupon to redeem for your next shopping trip."

So, if you have find anything during your spring cleaning that you can donate, now is the time. I know I have the MOST generous and loving readers, so I will thank you in advance for all you can do to help out those less fortunate. Have a great weekend everyone!

Monochromatic Monday: Feeding the Squirrels

Welcome to Monochromatic Weekend... Visit Join Aileni on Monochrome Weekend and link your post here.

When Bill and I walk the dogs in the morning, we also feed the squirrels in the neighborhood. I took this photograph right after Bill gave this little guy a peanut (unsalted, of course). They are so cute and so friendly. The dogs just get such a kick out of watching them, as do we.

Until next time..... Lorie
