White Wednesday

 my tastes in decor are changing...

i'm loving the cleaness of white!

and leaving behind too much busyness.

love the calm!

 the fluted design with IRONSTONE symbols on the bottom is delightful

 and both are yard sale finds.

...blessedness!

week end musings

yesterday (monday) was gaw-gee-ous, hence a day late for this post.

i was busy doing this...

...trimming my New Dawn rose and it's a beast!

hubs helped clean up last evening - that was a tremendous help!

Different, Unique and Married

Our Background

session three

1. Our Background

A. Physical

•  involved     vs     uninvolved
•  individual    vs     family
• elaborate   vs   simple

B. Spiritual

• structured   vs    sporadic
• focused   vs    inconsistent

2. What it Takes

• humility - to see each other's point of view  
• adaptability - able to modify; make fit

"In a successful marriage, there is no such thing as one's way.

There is only the way of both, only the bumpy, dusty, difficult, but always mutual path."

- Phyllis McGinley

tweaking and switching

a few changes in the kitchen...

- curtains before and after -

- sink window -

amazing blue jars! the tall one is a recent thrift find.
it has a cow impression on one side and the word milk on the other...
was this actually used for milk?! anyone know?
i'm frugal mostly! -
this gauzy curtain was in the dining room and decided to give it a try here.
