I haven't flown away...I'll be back soon.
AND I'll share about some happy things and have a gift for YOU.
Now, you all know the following is still very HARD for me to do - BUT I wanted to share my yellow daisy top.... isn't it cute? Only $9 from Marshalls!
Bye for now, and Patty from Tennessee - it was SO nice meeting you yesterday! ;-) You are a sweetie!!!
You look cute as a bug in your daisy top. I hate having my picture taken too, but we are the only ones who see our own imperfections. You are beautiful:>)

You have such a cute "clasiness" about you. This is my first time commenting on your blog and I must tell you...I am inspired by you. I hope to make my cottage as adorable and inviting as your's is. I always look forward to reading your blogs. God bless you!

You look cute as a button in that top, Kim. :-) I'm sure some happy little bird is gong to feel like it hit the jackpot when it takes up residency in it's new red house. It will be singing up a storm for you and your neighbors!

Remember me? I've been so bad about blog reading lately...not because I don't want to read, but because of my crazy life recently. Lots of company, which has been wonderful and then all the medical tests, "hoopla", etc. You've been a busy, busy girl. I've really enjoyed reading all your posts I've missed and seeing all your gorgeous photos.
Have a wonderful, safe and fun trip.
Hugs!

I just wanted to say thank you again for having such a wonderful Blog. I check most every day and always enjoy what you have for me. A lot of the blogs try to sell things, or tell about homeschooling etc., but yours is the one I count on to give me a good idea, an upbeat moment, a smile and a warm and lovely thought. (and besides, you are a very lovely lady!)
Thanks,
J

Thank you for the complement ;)
