Personal Pink Saturday

Once again, I am using Pink Saturday to share a special time in my life.  If you really want to see some of the best worldwide pinks, just go to http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog and spend the day with Beverly.

Recently I was blessed with another birthday.  There was no cake, not even a cupcake.

Instead, my daughter-in-law made a banana pudding.  It was perfect.  She made the entire pudding from scratch.. There is no way I could ever tell you how delicious this was.

My daughter-in-law loves to cook and is an excellent one.  I have not seen anything she has made that did not turn out great.  In fact, she had never made chicken and dumplings.  At my request, she made some  the old fashion way.  They were some of the best I have had in a long time. Of course, she had a  table full of other goodies for all the family to enjoy.

Wish I had a made a picture of the table as it looked very nice.  As you can see, she had it decorated in pinks. Thanks again Linda for everything you did.

At a certain stage of your life, there is not much you need in the way of gifts. So I told my great grandson, all I wanted was him for my birthday.  When they arrived, he had this ribbon around his neck as my gift  Thank the Lord for kids, grand kids and great grand ones.

Sky Watch Friday

Missed seeing all the gorgeous skies of Sky Watch Friday.  Please join me and all the great hostesses for the showing of nature at her best  http://skyley.blogspot.com.

In Texas if the skies are not to your liking, just wait a few minutes as they change very rapidly. There is always pretty skies around.

A few styles and fashions from another time framed.

Some of you may recall back on July 11, I had a post featuring the history of this clock. It is now in the possession of my son.  His wife has a great knack for coming up with neat ideas on how to use things or decorate.  This is how she chose to honor my late husband. 

She found this mantel to display everything.  As you an see, she even framed a copy of my post featuring it.
