Pink Saturday - September 10

I hope you don't mind my doing a repeat this week.

Where were you September 11, 2001?

I think everyone remembers exactly what they were doing that morning when they heard THE news. I had just shut off my hairdryer when I heard on the radio that a plane had hit the first tower. I quickly turned on CNN just in time to see the second plane coming in. I sat there thinking "What is that pilot thinking?" And then couldn't believe what I saw.




Later on I went outside to sit on my patio. I remember thinking how quiet it was. No traffic noise. No planes in the sky - where I live we see jets starting to descend for landing at the Buffalo Airport. The sun was shining, the sky was a beautiful blue with white fluffy clouds. And it was so quiet. It seemed so surreal.






September 11, 2001 - the day that changed the world.


Canada and the United States share the world's longest continuous border. We could "jump the ditch" without needing a passport. Not anymore. Now we need passports and security passes.



I pray that there is never another "September 11th".

I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.




Thank you to Beverly from How Sweet the Sound" for hosting Pink Saturdays.



Please take a minute to say a prayer for those who died, those who responded and now are sick, for their families and yes, even for the people who did this. And a prayer that something like this never happens again, anywhere.

Thank you for visiting. Have a great week.

Pink Saturday - August 20


For years, 31 years 10 months and 3 weeks to be exact, I have been looking for a big comfy arm chair.

You know the kind.



Overstuffed.
Soft.
The kind that feel like a warm hug when you sink into it.
A great place to read or maybe nap.

Today I found my chair!


And for only $13517.00 it can be mine!!!!
Yes you read that right, there are 5 numbers BEFORE the decimal point!

Guess I'll be looking for a while yet.


Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you to Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting our Pink Saturday meetings.

Thanks for visiting!

The Wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

Another Royal Wedding Today

Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

Zara is the daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips. Mike is a rugby player. Kinda looks like a boxer, doesn't he?


Before "the dress" lets look at the famous relatives


Sophie, Countess of Wessex

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

The Duchess of Cornwall

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth

The bride's mom Princess Anne with the groom's father. I love the skirt but the jacket looks like a sofa cushion cover.

The bride with her dad, Captain Mark Phillips

"The Kiss"

"C'mon honey, there's food waiting!"
