The Circle of Life...

I went shopping this weekend for art supplies and decided to try a new brand of paint... so I brought it home and painted this...
Little did I know that this drab, depressing blue sample painting would be so appropriate for the mood in our home today... sadly, one of our dogs is going to be put to sleep... we've had her since my son was two...
We were only getting one puppy, but we couldn't leave her sister behind...
They have been very close all through the 11 and 1/2 years we've had them...
I only introduced them to all of you a few weeks ago... And now our precious Molly Madison will live in our hearts forever...

She will be missed!

A Pink Gift to YOU...

Fifi invites you to stay at her VIRTUAL Bed & Breakfast...Come in... let's toast to a FAB weekend...Get checked in and grab one of our bicycles and head into town to look around at some GREAT shops... lots of storage... so you can do lots of shopping!While you were away... I set the table... the pianist should be here any minute...A lovely meal is prepared for you... along with yummy dessert cookies...
Your room is ready whenever you are...Cozy pink slippers for you...Tomorrow a delicious breakfast wreath will be served to you... If you'd like to attend a Sunday service... there is a lovely chapel around the corner... Or if you'd like to go horseback riding or for a sleigh ride... I will get the horses ready... hopefully we can get them away from their holiday treats...
There is also a nearby frozen lake... ice skating anyone... All that snow... feeling a little chill... how would you like some toffee coffees... I could add a little something if you like!
Aah... warm by a fire...I don't think I ever want to leave... sigh... but I guess we all must so we can go visit Beverly and all her PINK Saturday friends!
Grab a VIRTUAL vintage ornament before you go! Do you have a favorite? Oooooh VIRTUAL gifts aren't as much fun are they... well then... perhaps a REAL gift for 5 lucky winners... because there are only 5 days until Christmas! GOOD LUCK!!! Winners announced Tuesday, December 23, 2008

My dream came true! Someone out there is listening to moi! A surprise arrived... isn't it TRES BELLE! Yessssssssss... there is a delicious wedge missing and I MEAN delicious! Merci beaucoup! The surprise was a DELIGHTFUL TREAT!!!

Two Glorious Weeks...

School is out at noon today... and sleep in begins! I am going to take full advantage and TODAY... I am playing hooky from my blog and I'm letting my kids play hooky from school too! If I were them... I would go for the holiday party... but the older they get they don't care about those school day parties... sigh!
When I finally drag myself out of bed I will be painting my post for tomorrow... so come back tomorrow for some PINK FUN!

My horoscope for today said...
Keep your eyes wide open today, Fifi, as you may meet the man of your dreams! (Hmmmm... already have hubby... must be "man in my dreams") Or, you could stumble, literally, upon a stack of cash. (Hmmm... should I follow armored trucks or stand outside banks or am I going to have LOTS of Etsy sales) It is likely to be a most unusual day, so keep your mind open to all possibilities and keep your wits about you. (Hmmmmm... kids will be home... I better watch what they are up to.) If an intriguing new business opportunity comes your way, don't accept it right away. Take down all the information and review it when life has settled down somewhat.
(Hmmmm... does that mean sleep on it!)

What does your horoscope say for today?

When I Grow Up...

What do I want to be when I grow up... hmmmmm... a Bird Whisperer...

Gas Station Attendant... Regular or Unleaded...Traffic Cop... got my radar gun...
Professional Dancer...
Race Horse Trainer...
Giraffe Jockey...
Tour Guide at Niagara Falls...Bouncer for Private Parties...Pastry Chef...
Hmmmm... I can't decide... I guess I will have to settle for being moi... and receiving this blogger award from Six in the Country and tell you my 5 Addictions:
1. Cafe Creme... I know... everyone already knows this... but it is soooo TRUE!
2. Mascara
3. Music... I ADORE all kinds of music and it MUST be playing while I'm awake!
4. Hugging my darling!
5. Blogging!
Sooooooooo NOW... it is YOUR turn... what are your 5 Addictions... and What did or do YOU want to be when you grow up?

Maybe an actress...
