TEA

Please stop to visit her today and give her a hug. Lisa ... wish we could go to Paris today .... might not cure the sniffles, but perhaps we wouldn't care!!

Pink Saturday! 2010 Sweet Ride!

Mmmm ....

Lookin' for a sweet

pink ride for

2010!

Tell us, SAMMY GIRL!

WHOA!

Not a VESPA ...

.... but THAT WOULD

meet the

definition of a sweet ride ...

Well, then ..... ??

Sammy Girl

metaphorically

means a sweet ride ...

Something sweet ....

Like

"having a go"

at something.

Trying something new.

Miss Maggie Rose

(isn't she stunning!!)

and I

will be participating in the

4 Friends 4 Sales

show!!

Kinda like jumping off a cliff ...

an adrenaline rush!

But there to cheer us on

the other Friends

2010 looks like a sweet ride?

SO MUCH FUN

IS ON IT'S WAY !!

Happy Pink Saturday and here's to trying something new, exciting, and a little scary in 2010!

SAMMY GIRL

note: please drop by and tell the other friends "hi" and thanks for letting Sammy Girl play with them. Oh, and mark your calendar for a great day of playing, shopping, and having fun! (And please tell me it's okay to jump off this cliff -- even if it's not. Aren't friends SUPPOSED to tell little white lies to make us feel better??) And sorry for the spacing snafus ... this new computer is still a little bit headstrong and not playing well with blogger ... and YES ... that was my secret with the white roses and mercury glass vases (a trial for the table with yummy treats!)

White Wednesday - New Beginnings ....

Dark winter night

brightened by

WHITE

on the kitchen

windowsill.

A bit of sparkle

banishes the gloom

and

plays well with others!

The Haeger vase

just waits for

spring flowers.

A shell beacons

me to

a sunny summer beach.

The faithful

cyclamen

embraces winter

and makes me smile.

She wears a bit of

jewelry ....

an old silver fork

with

blooms of its own.

The kitchen counter

respelendent

with mercury glass

and white roses

is in dress rehearsal.

They have a

secret surprise.

It's going to be a

great year!

Hugs and here's to celebrating all the possibilities of the New Year!

SAMMY GIRL

note: this is the FIRST post with my new computer. None of the programs or files would transfer (yet!) ... but I had some pictures in my camera.

Silver lining ...

They say every cloud has one ...

The CLOUD

Computer #1

fried motherboard

sounds like swearing, but it's not --
well ......

if it's fried there
might be
some swearing!

Anyhooo ...

manuafacturer problem
but off warranty ...

it's beginning to rain

under this cloud!

Computer #2

(the one that speaks
Russian)

a broken monitor screen.

Only 1/4 of screen visible

cannot perform

ANY

functions.

Honestly ..

my touch was as soft as a


I think it had
ISSUES

(like many 6 year olds!)

So now it's

STORMING

under the clouds!

The silver lining?

Mr. Sammy Girl
is taking me

COMPUTER SHOPPING

tonight!

Hugs and may you always see the silver in the storm ....

SAMMY GIRL

ps ... had to use the computer from work to post this!

Pink Saturday - Optimistically

Looking at life through

rose-colored glasses

"with an attitude that things

are better than they really are"

Hmmmmm

Being an optimist

has options ....

Sorta retro 80's/90's

(what is this style callled?)

And

(of course!)

classic cat-eye frames ...

complete with just a bit

of

BLING!

Something a little more

straightforward ...

business woman or

super hero disguise

(a la Clark Kent)

But even an optimist

can have a

bad day.

What's a gal to do

when the world hits

ya a good one?

Why talk to her

eternally optimistic

best friend.

Try to get a little different

perspective ...

(love the glitz and bling on those opera glasses!)

Or maybe just sit by the fire.

Things might look better

with pink glasses of bubbly.

The best pink lens to use

to see the world?

Just sayin' ...

No matter how rough the

setback

you can be an optimist

if you know the happy ending.

Hugs and here's to maintaining a positive attitude in tough times ...

Also, if you know Kathy from Mimi's Garden (click here to visit if you don't know her blog) please ask her how she has my Great Gramma's cookie jar. Seriously! I couldn't believe it ... although the lid to gramma's broke way back in the 60's, so perhaps it's a different one ... maybe.
