♥♥ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY & PINK SATURDAY♥♥

Good Morning Guys !!! Well today is all about L♥ve and also it is yet another PINK Saturday...and what better colors for Valentine's day than Red and Pink....

So Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers....I hope every one has a wonderful day with their Honeys.... For this special day I put together a special Valentines table of the Brides in my family...and of course I tossed in some PINK...So grab a cookies and let me tell you about some of the women I love in my life...



Now these two pictures here are my Grandma and Grandpa on their Wedding Day which they got married on Valentines day...the other Picture is my baby girl Dawna on her wedding day in October 2007....she was just a beautiful bride...as this was my daughter that was never going to get married and waited until she was in her early forties to finally say "I DO" My oldest daughter Barbra is married to Dawna's Husband's Brother...YES you heard right my Daughters married brothers...so what does that make them??? Sisters and Sister -laws... Told you I had a weird family...




Now this is my Grand daughter Candace on her wedding day in Sept 2006....she is Dawna's daughter...YES you heard me right again her daughter got married before her !!! Candace married her first L♥ve Branden...they had been going together since she was 14...she was 24 when she got married and she just adores this guy and he is a man's man always out playing with his rock crawlers that he builds...I just love this young man and have since the day I met him...Candace and Branden are also going to make me a Great Grandma again in Sept...and She and Branden both love children so I know they will be outstanding Parents...





This is an Old Time photo of me and Wally taken about 30 years ago in Seattle , Washington when we flew our Plane up there for a Valentine weekend...so we could have dinner at the Seattle Space needle...oh what fun we had for 3 days while there...found this place where we had to dress in old time clothes and we were told not to smile as years ago people didn't smiles in photos...



Just want to show you one of my old beaded hand bags and of course its PINK...and a hat box I covered with wall paper and satin...






Now is this not the sweetest thing !!! I just love the base of this coffee table with the sweet cherubs and love birds...



This is my Grandma Wedding dress and veil from 1913...the shoes now belonged to my Great Grandma ....I begged my mama for years to let me have this and one day she just show up and says it time as I now know you will take care of it...it was like HELLO!!! Mama I have 7 kids calling me Grandma and you now think I am grown up enough to now have this ha ha!!!

Now be sure and go by and see our great Hostess Beverly at "How sweet the sound...

Please have a most Romantic Valentine's day...
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
UPDATE !!! YAHOO !!! Kyra gets to go home tomorrow...still on feeding tube but Dr thinks she'll do better being at home with her Parents...she'll have to go back in 2 weeks for next surgery...but at least she can go home for awhile... this will be her first time to be her own bed since she was born...I am so excited about this news...Thanks again for all your support and prayers...this really is going to be a Wonderful Valentine day for yet another woman in my life...

~BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE~

Good Morning....Yes I am alive still....Sorry I haven't been around ...but I have Pneumonia and I have been in bed.... I will try and catch up with everyone who have left comments...this I promise.. Now this is what I got up to today...just look at my NOT so sunny Sun room...Yes we got snow and I am so glad I don't have to go out in it...
Here is what my driveway looks like...Who says all we do in California is lay on the Beach should be at my part of California...I know our ski lodge will be happy this weekend....

Baby Kyra is doing GREAT!! only one more surgery to go and then maybe she'll be able to go home..I can't wait to see that day...My Grandson Jacob who just joined the Army is now at Ft. Leonard Wood in Mo, going to boot camp he really misses his wife Morgan and of course his Grandma ha ha!! My family has so much news right now...I just found out last week that my Grandson Jayson is having a baby in Sept and the same day I found out that my Grand daughter Candace is also having a baby in Sept...WOW!!! that means a total of 4 great grand kids for me just this year...I might as well toss them the checkbook at Christmas....Hope all of you stay well and Happy....Love ya all and have missed you !!!
Hugs and smiles Glria
