It Is A Beautiful Day

What a beautiful day it is Through My Back Door and I am so happy you stopped by. The coffee is on and it is DD decaf, but barely. Last night I when I was making myself a cup of coffee I dropped the canister. Oh yes I dropped it and spilled almost the whole thing. When I think of how much that stuff costs, it makes me mad at myself.lol Unfortunately  at my house you can't sweep it up and use it. Oh no TRASH CAN here I come. Oh well, we have enough for today and then I'll pick
up some tomorrow. I guess you can't cry over spilled coffee.lol
Any way, you couldn't be upset for long because the weather is beautiful here. Everything is budding and the bradford pears are gorgeous. As if that isn't enough in itself, Amanda has felt good. We all had supper at Debs Monday evening and this afternoon Deb, Amanda, and the children and I have had a wonderful afternoon together. It is so good hearing her laugh again. She has one more treatment, a week from today. We know prayers have been said and know God has heard them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Remember the bully mouse. You will never believe what I caught him doing today. I was shocked!

He was wearing green and out in the grass searching for  four leaf clovers! His name, he informed me, is Mousie O'Bryant. That Libby created a monster in this one. I am afraid of what he will do next.
I have been rearranging and thinking spring. It is so much fun tweaking and rearranging. I just love doing that. Don't you?

My noodle board. This is a memory board.Found the basket and the noodle board on the Longest Yard Sale. Angela gave me the felt candle, Prim Sue made the dish towel, and Deb the wax bunny. The glass egg is Victorian and had violets painted on it. For some reason Curtis  stripped them off. In his defense part of the painting was gone.

See my Easter cross stitch done by my friend Carla. I love this.

Another thing going on Through My Back Door is there is going to be a wedding in Missouri this summer. Curt is getting married, so Deb and I have been dress hunting.(Curt is Debs son, and yes he was named after his Granddad. Co-Co, they call him) I'd rather look for antiques or prims. Oh my goodness, they just don't make dresses for a "Mature" woman. lol (Not that I am admitting to being the mature woman. It could be Deb, I am referring to.Well it could be) Any way we both found our dresses and we are two happy people. It amazes me how small they make dresses anymore. Is material scarce? Surely I am not larger. Surely not!lol
Another good thing that has happened this week, is I met Tammy, Country Girl at Home, and her family. Well not Colt, he wasn't with them, but the rest, It is so refreshing to see young girls like Joy. She is a beautiful girl and you see her inner beauty right away. She wasn't feeling well Sunday either, but you could still see that beauty. Luke is a doll and just makes you smile to see him. A lot of you followed their journey to China to bring Luke home. Tammy and Jason are both super nice. It was so nice to get to meet them. I don't mean to sound trite, but the fellow bloggers I have met, it has seemed like you have known one another forever. They had come over to visit the Hen.

Joy and Luke. You think he loves her?

Tammy, Joy, me, Sharon, and we all know that little face in front.
I look pretty bad, but I had cooked a country brunch for Amanda and Clay before I went over to the Hen and Andrew had helped me make biscuits.
Well I am so glad you came Through My Back Door today where life is good.

PS: Amanda's journey with chemo is coming to an end. Others are just beginning. All of us have been affected by this disease.  Lets all continue to pray for a cure.
PSS: While we are praying for cures, lets not forget Alzheimers. All of us have been touched by this one too.
