Happy Monday and TableTop Tuesday Feb. 6, 2012

Happy Monday to You!!

Hope you all had a delightful weekend!

Our's was very good, and Sunday was delightful!

Friday we got take out from Outback Steakhouse, and

 watched a movie, called "Marriage Retreat".  It was

pretty good,  funny at times,  but not a 5 star rating,

but did have a good ending,  and we always love that.

Saturday we were up and out fairly early for us, as we

 had a Memorial Service for one of our church family

 members.  She was 93 years old and way ready to go,

  so not such a sad experience since she finally got her

 promotion to Heaven .... a few weeks back.

 It was a lovely tribute to her life,  cause

 she was surely a sweet lady.

Afterwards,  we ran a few errands,  came home and

had lunch,  and took a nap,  then got up and worked

in the yard.  Got some much needed cutting back

done in the backyard. Our forested area was just

 encroaching too much,  and after cutting it...it looks

 pretty sad right now, but we are hoping that when

 spring comes, it will all fill in and look pretty again!!

If not, we are gonna hate ourselves!!  lol

We still have more to do, but isn't the yard always

just a never ending story,  course,  so it is with

a home too,  but would never change it really.

Sunday of course, was church and we are so happy 

to see our Pastor is doing a series on the importance

 of family in February, and then a series on Marriage

 in March.  So we are delighted about that, as it is

 a much needed topic for sure.

Then after lunch and a nap.....our other delightful

thing was Dee and Jerry came over to watch the Super

 Bowl....course, hubby and Jerry watched most of the

game and Dee and I got to sit and catch up for awhile,

so that was certainly a delight for this Mom.

  They brought pizza from a place called Papa Murphy's, 

 I had never heard of it until a few weeks ago,  do any

of you have one near you??  Not sure if they are a

chain store or not.  Anyway,  you can customize your

own pizza, with whatever you want and how much or

how lil you want of each topping and then you take it 

home and bake it, so it is hot out of the oven fresh.......

they are truly wonderful pizzas,  and they are only $8.00

 for a large. We don't have one where we live, but they

 have one right up the street from them.  We are hoping

 they put one near us now......................lol

It really was a fun evening!!

Well, guess I better hush and get on with Table Top

Tuesday...............................

These are pictures of my coffee table.  We are still dressed

for Winter around here,  altho it seems like spring outside.

But I have learned that when I get the urge to decorate

for spring, to not give in,  cause as soon as I do..... it gets

cold again,  and the spring decor somehow seems to 

 makes you feel colder!!  So I have learned to resist

the temptation...... until spring has really sprung!!  lol

Did my coffee table differently this year,  I usually use my

big white rooster Boureguard there but gave him a place

of honor on the fireplace this year,  hopefully,  I will show

you next week.  Am gonna retake the pics, cause am

having trouble with glare because of the pic with glass.

Decided to use a blue tray I have had but never used here,

It was in my bedroom for a long while, and had been exiled

 to the garage for a bit, so decided to press it into service again.

Notice my new rooster made of wire,  his name is Lucas,

because he came all the way from St. Lucia,  with Dee

 and Jerry after the honeymoon.  Isn't it so cool that

he can read too.........................lol

I really enjoy using the dark reds during the Winter

months and love burning candles then as well......

Lucas says Bye Bye Now................

and Me too!

So glad you could stop by for a visit,  so enjoy

hearing from you.............

 I am linking up to Marty over at a stroll thru life,
