I share your opinion about the goodness and genuineness of the people I've "met". In conversation, I find myself referring to you all as "my friend"....then I kind of stop and sometimes qualify it be adding my BLOGGING friend...but I DO count my blogging friends as friends indeed!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-42664475548149102132009-07-03T11:36:04.106-04:002009-07-03T11:36:04.106-04:00Sandy, thanks for stopping by!

Thanks!<br /><br />And you put it just perfect when you said we can buy ourselves 'things' but it's those special "I was thinking of you", "I know who you are", those are the gifts I cherish most!<br /><br />A few people have commented about the scary figure looking like something from the Brady Bunch when they see it! I think I'll call him Brady!<br /><br />Have a good weekend, Sandy!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-73522091803057155512009-07-03T11:31:57.299-04:002009-07-03T11:31:57.299-04:00Yes, Marcy, you are so right about men!

Now he knows me though!<br />And, yes, that's a bay window, and I love how it lets in lots of light, but I'm sorry in a way we did it. I think it takes away from the character of the house, and if we hadn't paid dearly for it, I would be changing it!<br />This is my family home and the front steps my Mom had changed when we moved in (I was only nine then) to go down to a side walkway. When Ray and I did it over I was thinking of going back to the original, but then we decided to keep my Mom's idea and expand the porch across the house. I'm glad we did it that way, gives us more outdoor living space!<br />And yes, that doily was in one of my 'favorites' I think, my Mom's mother had made it, thanks for remembering!<br />And YES I agree we are so lucky Wanda stayed! But even if she didn't come to us I'd be going there everyday to get my fill of paradise with her pictures!<br />I really enjoyed your post today!<br />Happy Independence Day!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-56453333574964018462009-07-03T11:23:39.432-04:002009-07-03T11:23:39.432-04:00Wanda, I was surprised to hear that Marcy's pi...Wanda, I was surprised to hear that Marcy's pink kitchen tribute to me was your first visit to her! I thought you were all old friends already and I was just forcing my way into the 'inner circle'! That's so funny!<br /><br />And, YES, the awning made a big difference, it used to be so hot out front in the sun, now it's much better, and great protection from all kinds of weather, and I think the smokers in the family appreciate it because there is NO smoking in our house!<br />Happy 4th!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-82771928386905651262009-07-03T11:19:46.285-04:002009-07-03T11:19:46.285-04:00Thank you, Bernie, I just got back from your blog ...Thank you, Bernie, I just got back from your blog and I love your new look!

And I just haven't been feeling really good, can't put my finger on it though, never felt like this before. Oh well.<br />I'm glad your husband will be home with you, enjoy the weekend! I don't think I'll be on much after this either. And aren't we lucky to have such nice guys?!<br /><br />I don't know what that wooden figure is, he's kind of ugly and scary looking, but I loved him from the minute I saw him!<br />Enjoy your weekend, Diana!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-23025032727744913202009-07-03T09:44:56.560-04:002009-07-03T09:44:56.560-04:00Eileen,

Those things don't have to cost hardly anything but they say, "I heard you, I remembered and I cared enough to get this for you!"<br /><br />Is that like a bay window in the front of your house? Love the sketch and the new look of your home, a sweet improvement over the tax picture.<br /><br />Have you already 'featured' that pink and white doily? It's so pretty.<br /><br />How funny that Wanda's intro to my blog was that pink kitchen post...we're so lucky that she stayed with us after that!<br /><br />Have a super fourth of July!!!!<br /><br />blessings and lots of hugs,<br /><br />marcyBlessings each dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08253526265578804769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-8134023760951612542009-07-03T07:15:23.688-04:002009-07-03T07:15:23.688-04:00Hi Eileen...with your beautiful blue pool, the red...Hi Eileen...with your beautiful blue pool, the red and white cooler, and the red flowers you are set for your red,white,and blue celebration of the 4th.<br />I like your appreciation of found things and repurposing them...we do likewise here...liked seeing the sketch of where you live...don't awnings make a BIG difference in the enjoyment<br />of your porch...our's did.<br />Enjoy your pink flowered plates from Ray...<br />when I see pink I think of you...I remember Marcy posting pink kitchens when I first visited her blog and before I knew of yours...<br /><br />Thank you for your sweet comment this morning Eileen...Happy weekend!Wanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-26810822290515730042009-07-03T02:46:09.992-04:002009-07-03T02:46:09.992-04:00Hi Eileen, you are up late.

My husband is coming home so I will probably be away from the puter. Unless of coarse it rains as they say it's supposed to. I hope you have lots of sunshine for pool fun.<br />I liked your Friday favorites Eileen. Is that one figure a totem pole? Actually it looks like a Hawaiian god. Those pictures of your house were very nice too! And Ray sounds like a very thoughtful guy Eileen. My hubby waits on me when he's home. I think he feels bad that he can't be here to help me more. I don't mind!<br />Anyway, have a nice weekend Eileen!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.com
