A Valentine For You

 Happy Valentine's Day to all my Vignette Design friends!

We Will Rebuild

"Stormageddon2" hit hard last weekend with torrential rain and wind gusts as high as 65 mph.

We had broken hurricanes, candlesticks and flower pots but the tent really suffered damage.

Somehow the tent must have been airborne because one leg literally jumped the fence and landed in the neighbor's yard.

 Speaking of legs, I'm afraid it is on its last one!  In fact two of the legs are now bent.  

This Zgallerie tent has been such a source of joy for us and I'm just not ready to let it go yet!

I'm hoping it can be salvaged for the time being. 

We will rebuild!

How To Cure The Winter Blahs

Our flat in the City is very dark because there isn't a lot of natural daylight with windows only in the front and the back.  

 Add dark painted walls and you get the picture.

Dark and gloomy, especially when cloudy.

I was telling my friend about how my dark flat was affecting my mood, giving me the winter blahs, and she suggested three things:

Flowers, candles and music.


Ok, let's see if this works.
Flowers.
Check.


Candles.
Check.

Flowers and candles together.
 Check.

 Flowers and candles in every room, like the kitchen.
Done.

 Flowers and candles in the bedroom.
Absolutely!

 But what about the music?
All my music is on my iPhone and I have no way to play it.
Until now...
Introducing "The Pill" by beats.
This little "pill" picks up my music from my phone and plays it in the room for us all to hear.
The quality is great too.

Have a listen...
They're playing my favorite song!
And that's how you cure the winter blahs!

Age Is Just A Number

 Landslide is such a poignant song.

It speaks of changes, life and getting older.

But it also celebrates those things.

So for today as I celebrate one more number, I'll remind myself that today is the youngest I'll ever be again.  

Today is just a number.
