Hello Friends, I hope you had a great weekend and an enjoyable tax-free Monday!
I woke up this morning thinking it was Sunday. The weekend came and went with such quickness that I though we should have had one more day free from work, but no such luck! We did manage to get some yard work done before the heat returns because it is not fun pulling weeds and trimming trees in intense heat. I love this time of year with all the flora blooming but it reeks havoc on my son and his seasonal allergies. This was my grandmother’s favorite tree and every Spring she’d look outside and say, “Toni, did you take a picture of that tree” – I do miss her so!
Mama, here’s a picture of that tree.
These trees are on the side of the house, they bloom then change green in about 2 weeks.

I didn’t wear them to work because my knee is still swollen, but thought they would work with this outfit – what do you think?
Engjoy the rest of your day – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Why do we use the phrase, “smile, say cheese” when taking pictures…”CHEESE” really, isn’t there another word in the English language that makes you wanna smile?
#1 son is my photographer and all he does is point and shoot, he never tells me to say “cheese” or “smile or even “hold in your stomach” (which is obvious in these pics), so this morning I decided not to smile and this is what we got.
How does your photographer get you to smile?
Look at these legs – they need some sun badly!
I am so thankful for yet another beautiful day which makes it hard not to smile!
Have a fantastical afternoon – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
Today would have been my sister’s 50th birthday and as kids I would call her “Glori” , so what could have been a gloomy day turned out to be a Glori-ous one, my Angel still shines brightly – Rest In Heaven Glori!
It took a little longer to get dressed this morning because I’m still not wearing heels and the weather forecast called for temps in the 80’s . As much as I wanted to break out the summer gear I held back. Decided on this thrifted polka dot skirt from GW Boutique, red sleeveless top from Ross or TJ Maxx/Marshalls and Red Stripped Wedge shoes from Avon.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!
It has finally happened, Winter is officially over and based upon the temps for the next few days so is Spring! If you live in the MidAtlantic area you know that we went from the cold-in-the-low 50’s on Saturday to the hot-in-the-mid 80’s today, all I can say is “bring it on”! I love the warmer temps, not intense heat but warm enough to wear only one layer of clothing and a wrap dress is perfect. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I twisted my knee doing Zumba and haven’t been able to wear heels, needless to say, I’m not happy. I did pose in them this morning but had to go straight to the flats to lessen the pain.
What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods?

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
I am so excited because tomorrow is the first Flea Market of the season at Dutch Country Farmers Market in Middletown and I will be there bright and early! I love getting rid of unused household items and making extra cash while doing it. Yard Sales are also great ways to accomplish this but there is more foot traffic at Farmers’ Market and I look forward to seeing AND buying from the other vendors. This season in addition to the household items, books and of course shoes, I will also be selling wholesale costume jewelry and am anxious to see how it goes. I purchased necklaces, bracelets and rings from a wholesale dealer in anticipation of making a good profit – I hope it pans out – wish me luck!
Today is casual Friday so I’m wearing jeans, PINK jeans…I didn’t want it to be too much so decided to wear a long Tunic over them, what do you think?
Do you like Flea Markets and Yard Sales?

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Before I begin, I want to say that I am thankful for my Bloggy friends, for their kind words and understanding of yesterday’s post it was truly a blessing – THANK YOU! Life is so precious and fleeting that we should all stay focused on the positive, spreading kindness and love as we are more alike than most would care to admit.
Now today is a brand new day and mine started with a Green Smoothie made with spinach, almond rice milk and a banana but I must also have 20 ounces of coffee for the road. I am not a coffee snob nor a Starbucks drinker and have purchased coffee at WAWA, 7-11 and Dunkin Donuts, but the best is my homemade, flavored Java, this morning it was Melitta Hazelnut.
What is your must-have morning beverage?

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
April is a month of renewal and rebirth and for many years one of excitement and joy – a cousin’s birthday on the 1st; my grandmother’s birthday on the 2nd; my sister’s birthday on the 10th; another cousin’s birthday on the 12th; an uncle’s birthday on the 15th; an aunt’s birthday on the 19th and finally my ‘best friend since 3rd grade’s’ birthday on the 25th.
Now April is a month of death – my grandmother’s death; my sister’s death; and my uncle’s death makes this a sad month for me. I look at the blooms on the Daffodils and Tulips with sadness in my eyes…my daily routines are muted…there’s no real joy in my heart…dark colors comfort me…my heart aches and my smiles seem forced…but life goes on and “This Too Shall Pass”.

Hello Friends and Happy April Fool’s Day
This was the last day of my mini vacation and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. I was able to turn off the heat, open the windows and enjoy warm sunshine with a light breeze.
