I Made the Plunge

I have noticed that everyone seems to be growing their Facebook pages.

And many blogs I now read through FB.

I really have been having writers block lately, maybe just too 

much on my mind with Mr trying to sell his family business and the planning

for The Charleston Riot Anniversary

I have been enjoying my new camera

have been neglecting reading your blogs

or 

posting a new one

But then I realized with everyone on FB I did not want to loose

The name 

"A Sentimental Life"

so if your so inclined

please free to follow me on 

Facebook

you can "weigh in" on my posts!

My knockout rose can not decided what color it wants to be

Dahlia ready to bloom

OK, I need to weed :(

neighbor's hydrangea and garden

they got new siding and after 18 years of looking a gray home,

I can not adjust to the yellow?

And my Robin's are all gone.

I so enjoyed them while I was on vacation

I happen to see the last 2 leave the nest

I documented the last one leaving as I watched

the angel is telling him to fly

Mama says "come on"

he jumped out of the nest "I can fly, I can do it!"

so he hopped

and hopped

and he looked back........one more time

Goodbye sweet baby, I will miss you

Hope your weekend is a great one

and Happy Fathers day to all

I miss mine so

So glad I knew what is was like to be loved beyond measurement.

The look on his face says it all as he looked at my brother and I.

Moving Things Around in the Kitchen at 1515

A couple of weeks ago I showed you my Grandmother's Hoosier cabinet that my cousin Donna brought back home again.

So that meant changes things a little in the kitchen.

I love the kitchen at 1515

I have shown this before, the little girl is me with my
Grandfather, cousin Debbie and step Grandmother.

Notice the walls are yellow and there are red and white 

gingham checked curtains...I did not remember that.

2012

we had to move the shelf, take out the radio cabinet.

The radio cabinet went to my bedroom, and I am working on that

and will show you an update soon.

moved the shelf and changed what was on it.

When I went back this weekend, I realized how much I liked the new look.

And I have so much more storage space!

Last weekend was more meetings for 

The Charleston Riot 150th Anniversary

we finally got our pamphlets and logo done!

Have a great end of the week.

June 6th

To some just a day,

to others a day never to forget.

I just want to thank my Great Uncle Harold

He was there on D Day, landing on the beaches of Normandy.

Our family was lucky he came home.

The twins I always show, it is their father.

There were so many Americans who did not come home

after that day.

Let us never forget

Constance Spry

My David Austin rose is full of blooms this year.

I wish that Constance Spry bloomed all year, but it only blooms in the spring

I had the trellis built so I could have a place to sit and be surronded by the

smell of the roses.

more pink

Sarah Bernhardt peony

along our driveway

And a Mama Robin update

she lets me get about 4 feet from her and seems to not be bothered by me

look someones eyes are open!

I have so enjoyed watching them on my front porch

Dad comes and bring worms, and with all the rain it has been a good buffet for them!

Happy Saturday

Stay safe, we had bad weather in St. Louis but no one was hurt.
