This is a real picture!

This was in our local newspaper...I had to laugh when someone wrote the comment"...look how sad! Someone threw away a perfectly good bear!!" Apparently the bear was dumpster diving and was caught by the photographer! It looks staged!! I told you I saw one a couple of weeks ago on the side of the road near the woods. I guess with the woods being torn down for a new airport and residential areas its forcing the bears to look for food elsewhere..I just thought this was a great picture!

Have a great evening!!

Love Lilly

It's that time again!

I wish I knew who to give credit to for this picture! Isn't it the cutest thing? No chocolate please Dog biscuits only, LOL!!

Still packing...no updates yet but I am sure one is coming soon!!

Good grief!

I found out last week that I have to move...so I am really upset but I know God has everything under control. Pray for me please!

Love Lilly

Been one of those weeks lol

Do you ever have one of those weeks where everything goes wrong? This has been mine. I have to laugh to keep from crying!! This picture is a prime example of how I have been feeling...scared to bite a strawberry...it might bite me back LOL

Hope your weekend is awesome!

Tablescape Thursday!!

This was my grandmother's table cloth! I accidentally shrunk it in the dryer years ago. However, it is still beautiful. The beautiful smaller plates are labeled only with a Fleur and the word Sevres under it... they are beautiful!

Bill...I'm sure you spotted I have 2 different color large green gobblets...I found 3 at my favorite shop Scavengers on Saturday!! A very sweet new friend took me to find them since they moved away from the beach. I was so happy to shop there again!! I hope it doesn't look bad! 3 of them are a little lighter green!(fingers crossed)

I love white and gold and green...it just works...don't you agree? ;)

I sure hope you enjoyed my tablescape! Please visit Susan at

Honest to goodness!!

I had to work this morning, so I was a little grumpy thinking I might be the only one! I live in an area that has residential areas and some country undeveloped areas (the woods) so on my way to work I have occassionally seen a deer, possum, snake or racoon, however this morning...a black bear came out of the woods! He was not full grown, but not a cub...perhaps a teenage bear. I could not have been more surprised if a pink army tank had rolled out of those woods LOL

I saw him up a head and slowed down, thinking it was a very large dog who might run out in front of my car, LOL, the closer I got...he and I both put on our brakes LOL, I headed to work and he ran back into the woods LOL This is not a picture of that bear, but it looks a lot like him!

I have never seen a bear that wasn't in a zoo before...so it was a unique experience for me! I'll let you know if any pink army tanks come out of the woods next time! LOL

Tablescape Thursday

Hi Folks! Welcome to Tablescape Thursday. I hope you like my country table!

Bill, I brought out some silverware LOL, and check out the milk glass too!! The blue glasses are Fostoria. The table runner is actually a very old sheet that had that pretty design running down the side, so I folded and used it on top of a white tablecloth. The napkin rings are from a yard sale.

Please be sure to visit Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/2009/08/welcome-to-53rd-tablescape-thursday.html to enjoy all the beautiful tables!! Have a great day!
