Day one

Angela's trip between Jr and Sr year - Ireland, Scotland and UK here we come!!


Packing it in. Traveling light!


In the car! And we're off!!


Lizzie's frog is going alone for the ride like Angela's bear went with us!!


Traffic jam!! Stopped traffic all the way down here!! The good news is we were super early and had nothing to worry about.


Sitting waiting for the plane to be cleaned. Yep, you read that right they had to spend extra time on the tarmac cleaning the plane. Sigh. Hurry up and wait!





Please note the photobomb behind us! Ha!!


Goodbye USA!

Plants and a funny dad!!

So, your dad asks you
If you want a few amaryllis starts. Or say sure. Uhm, yeah a HUGE Krogers plastic bag full!! Well not to be rude and tell him NO WAY do I have room for all these, you find s spot (or four)



So the original place I thought of was behind the curve in the wall. OK they fit here but I had a half bag left....hummmm where to put them. Daisy plant I discovered was way to big for that spot anyway was relocated to a pot (once it gets a drain hole it will be put up by the hose reel). I need to replace the citronella (on the right edge of this shot) that did not survive the winter (lesson learned / they are NOT hearty). Note the wet ground. Yep it sprinkled on me while planting.


Ok either side of the monkey grass behind the grill will work!! Only one small spot of monkey grass needed to be relocated :)

Then off to take a few pictures :)


Such a pretty BRIGHT yellow!!


The first yellow was very pale...


And the new daisies are loving life. OK, only two of three but I'm hopeful :) (the red wasn't photo worthy !)

New bedroom decor

I decided the bedroom was too DARK and changed some things up. The biggest change is the curtains.






The bottom is a older picture but you get the drift. Dark curtains, dark bedding. Dark room

And while out shopping for curtains at The Warehouse I found some cute rugs.



My first thought was little house laundry room, then I saw the yellow and thought why not MY laundry room too??


So I got one for my house too :)

Yard work

We will start with a few weeks ago


Amaryllis just stating to bloom


A little while later really picking up!


And a few more with my variegated starting to open


They're so pretty.


They practically glow!


Wisteria just starting.


Some new petunias.





Just starting and newly weeded.





And now mulched!


Volunteers from last year





Verbena going strong.

















I added some flox to the mix for some ground cover. We shall see how this goes.


A new rescue plant.


Some more verbena.


A few replacement daisies. I lost quite a few last winter.


Some concrete to hold my hose guide!!


And some more concrete projects :)


Too cute!!

Weekend escape to Savannah (AKA Liz's belated 21st)

This weekend I went and kidnapped Liz for a night in Savannah for a belated birthday weekend.

First up - think Liz needed new shoes? She got a great buy one get one half off so she got some sandals too. Bonus!


We shopped. We ate. We shopped a few more stores then headed for the hotel. I did a Priceline name your price. I managed to get the Hyatt Regency. in Historic downtown for 55% off advertised price. Saweeettttt!!


Liz would agree!!








Atrium view. Nice. Would have loved water view. Should have upgraded. Oh well.


Going downstairs to find some dinner.


Strange sights along along the way!


Rather creepy. Apparently Luz is wigged out by this. She refused to go down there for pictures.


THIS is funny!!!


Our thoughts on the matter :)


Why is Deadpool here?? It's a comic con of sorts.



And then this was the view at dinner. Hahaha!!


Then what are two girls of the world to do when they're out in the town and it's cool outside? Go back to the hotel to watch Zootopia on pay per view. :)

I woke up a few times during the night. Once at 2am when the gruff kicked in with a super loud compressor noise. Then again at 3am with some drinks coming in for the night. Oh and once more at 7:30 with the neighbors who felt the need to converse loudly with the door to their room open and the hair dryer running on high. Fun, fun, fun. I was in full vacation mode and rolled over and went back to sleep eventually. We took our dear sweet time getting up, ready and heading out.

We headed to the outlet mall in Pooler to find a dress for Lizzie to wear to a wedding this summer. She sound the perfect one that will go day or evening. :)

We then made our way back to Statesboro the back way and chatted in the way home. :)

A fun weekend.
