life love friends and donna summer....

well...today is a day filled

with life love friends and..

yes..donna summer...too...

i am joining my friend..

lori and her associate..joe..

on a local talk show to

inform the public about her michael

anthony's project...

lori tragically lost her

son..michael...in july

of 2008...she has since

started michael anthony's

project to help others

while trying to put the pieces of
her life back together and mend...

i have known lori since she

was a high school girl..

lost touch...but we reconnected

as we were both walking the

same path in our journey

thru life...

some things..as tragic as

they are...really do teach us

all the true meaning of love...

now...any of you who know

me personally...do know i

do NOT have the most

melodious voice there is..

but i am hoping that the

words will sound like

they are coming from my 

heart and not my voice box

because that is exactly where

they will be coming from...

so..today ..we will be on

the radio...

thanks for stopping by...

be well...

warmly....

trifecta.....

yesterday was a very

exciting day...

the painting and

moving and repainting

got all done...

the floor was a

combination of

painting mistakes

but i am loving the

way it turned out...

all chippy and weathered and distressed....

good job...mr. b.....

next...my favorite haunt was

opened...woohoo!....

 

i just adore this religious picture i found there...

unusual to see the whole fam together

hard at work...

and..after browsing all the jeanne d'arc living

magazines and seeing how they use religious

items in their decor...i was all the more

excited with my find...

next find....
 shabby vintage pie safe ....metal back on it...just

have to decide where to put this prize...

what wonderful shutters i got...

great patinaed yellow paint...

have to think of a project for these...

while there...met a woman who had

just given birth to twins last week...

my kind of gal...

out shopping already.....

speaking of babies...

we had the end of a perfect

day when we met up w/lukie

and his parents for a hot dog...

he was pretty happy to see us too...

so much so that he was giving grandpa

lots of kisses....awwww...

his face lit up when his mom

and dad dipped his binky
in either coca cola or mountain dew..
hey~that was good!

beddy called to lukie..

so off they went...

trifecta day.....

thanks for stopping by....

be well...

warmly.......susan
