There are men stitchers out there, so I was trying to give them a chance, but clearly the stinkers are ruining it for the honest. All men I don’t know have been deleted and no men I don’t know will be added. Special thanks to my cat for being my stand in pic on Instagram. Funny how I’m not getting requests from men anymore.

Her stuff was that cute.<br />Jasmine smells so good. I have really only done my roses, but the weather has been wonderful this week. I think I will head out to the beach next week for some walks.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-72934238582594492352018-02-16T15:58:16.795-06:002018-02-16T15:58:16.795-06:00Thank you Robin.Thank you Robin.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-50659366069167862992018-02-16T14:25:43.256-06:002018-02-16T14:25:43.256-06:00Hi Sandy!

I remember my golden Sunny was afraid of vacuum cleaners. I have never seen Kelly's blog but must check it out now. Will it still be up after February just not new posts or will it be erased completely? I love gingham too...the photos make is look like such an inviting home. Have not even started doing anything in the garden but will start soon. I love when all the jasmine on my back fence is in bloom because it smells so wonderful. Spring is just around the corner.

I am really glad to see a bit of color showing back up in the magazines. I have always loved the tan walls with white trim. I am really ready for the back to shape up. IT has hindered me this week. It may just have to be a full on stitching day!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-33649635986024178942018-02-16T08:00:30.285-06:002018-02-16T08:00:30.285-06:00Yes I saw Kelly's post.

Sorry you fell, hope your back is feeling better. I have also been having some aches and pains from moving all the furniture etc. I took Bayer Back and Body and that seems to do the trick. I had a rose garden at our last house. I had the perfect spot for it and I loved gathering my roses all summer long. I am heading to Bham tomorrow for Leslie Anne's book signing.

I never make demands on myself. I don't have a schedule. I just go with it and enjoy. I am at least going to pop in enough that people still know I am here. I would always say goodbye if I left it for good. I so enjoy reading them and I am perfectly okay with posting when you are in the mood.<br />I am hoping I can get them going this year. I have missed them so. Enjoy the weekend. It has been very pleasant all week with temps so I can't stay inside.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-27006593340683999052018-02-16T07:27:19.812-06:002018-02-16T07:27:19.812-06:00I hate that you fell hard like that.

I hate to lose blog friends. I can name a few that I've lost that I still wonder about. I wish people would just post less often and keep going...lol! Enjoy your weekend!

I am ready for this to end, but feel like I better be careful or it will haunt for later. <br />I am quite sure we will get another cool snap, but I think the 20s are over for us.

Now, that could be just like the others ...just not enough sun.<br />Doggie lovers put up with a ton. Springers have more energy than they know what to do with and Goldens shed copious amounts of hair, but I wouldn't trade them.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-18999564809350027532018-02-16T05:34:05.229-06:002018-02-16T05:34:05.229-06:00Sandy, I'm not familiar with Talk of the House...Sandy, I'm not familiar with Talk of the House but I'll certainly check it out before it goes offline. How pretty are both the tablescapes and I love Gingham! <br />I feel your pain, I fell on ice the beginning of last week and felt like I went 9 rounds in the ring! I hope you feel much better soon. <br />Trying to keep a clean house with pets is never ending. I have a short haired dog and the amount of hair that she sheds is bewildering. <br />I'm looking forward to seeing your rose garden!! Spring was in the air here yesterday but we are back to 20 degree weather.Crossing fingers we both enjoy a long Spring!

Random thoughts are fun.
Kelly ...I love this post! Random thoughts are fun.<br /><br />Kelly at Talk of the House is amazing, isn't she? I know she's not posting much lately but she will be back sporadically. I think the reason her house is so amazing is because she thinks of every. single. detail. I'm with you loving the way she uses normal items to change up the looks. There's a lot to learn from studying her pictures.<br /><br />I love roses too! We've had them at every house. Here in north Texas the roses have a disease called Rose Rosette. Have you seen it? Here's a link: http://www.finegardening.com/article/rose-rosette-disease-what-is-it-and-what-can-you-do-about-it<br />Anyway, you know Knockouts are so popular and they are planted everywhere around here. Now they are slowly but surely all dying. Even at the Dallas Arboretum they've had to remove the roses. It's so sad! We would love to plant roses here on the back side of our house but the nurseryman says don't do it. The virus is just too bad here.<br /><br />Your dog is precious and worth all the trouble. :) Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.com
