WAITING MODE

When everyone is busy decorating for the holidays I am patiently waiting. That is for the contractor to get my ceilings textured. I took the horrible popcorn texture off last summer and one thing lead to another it is now scheduled to be finished.

This is my dining room. As you can see the only thing left is the contractor stuff. I cleared my entire living rm, dining rm, kitchen and bath of all furniture, wall decor and counter items. You would think I was moving! As you can see in the living room there are many paint colors. Did I mention I also have to paint before I can decorate. Yes, let's add more to the list besides Christmas.

So as I patiently wait I am browsing every ones blog. I have seen some wonder holiday decor and what some creativity. I always say copying someone is a great compliment. So just call me a copy cat!

So gals keep up the good work and hopefully soon I can get some decorating in for the holidays. For the weekend coming up I will be working like a mad women to get all my furniture back in, walls painted and then bring on the Christmas decorating!

THANKFUL THANKSGIVING

This year has been a year that I have reflected where I am in life. As a young adult I had a lot of dreams and plans for my life and this rosy picture of perfect. As we all know there is no such thing as perfect. Yes, over the years I had to adjust but this year in particular I have become more content with my life. I’ve watched Oprah and her finding passion and what your gift in life is. Well, I tried to find my passion and my gift. I found, me spending way too much time and energy trying to figure this out. I think I am just content with who I am and what makes me tick. And what makes me tick is my family and friends. I am so thankful for my three children and their spouses. I am over the top thankful for my seven grandchildren. I'm thankful for my siblings and extended family. But what would I do in life without my friends both near, far and blog land. They listen; cheer me on, giggle, tears, cook and even shop with me. Even though I’ve only met a few follow bloggers I still feel I would miss our daily or weekly visit. This Thanksgiving I am so blessed and thankful for each and everyone in my life.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Gratefully June
