A Beautiful Gift

Thru this blog I have become good friends with alot of ladies but there's one that stands out because we share the same name.  Only problem is, she lives in England so I doubt we'll ever meet.  Even though, we have become close and today I received a sweet gift from her for my birthday.

At the top of the picture is a gorgeous scarf with beautiful blue and teal flowers on it.  Love it!  Then she sent me postcards that show places near where she lives in England.  I can't imagine going out my front door and being able to walk to see this beautiful scenery.  An address book, some yummy English Breakfast tea and a tea towel that says "A House is not a Home Without a Dog".  Vallie definitely approves of that one.  

Barbara if you are reading this thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I absolutely love everything and every time I wear the scarf I will think of you walking along the beautiful scenery near your home.

Friends are Blessings from God, Barbara

Peyton sent me this picture today.

First off I want to wish everyone a Happy Spring and hope that where you live, it's right around the corner.  It's been sunny here but still some cool nights which is very nice.

I have two major things to share with you.  The first one involves Little John.  Today he ate his first solid food...applesauce....and the look on his face said "why haven't I been getting this all along".  I have a video of it but it's on my phone, so as soon as John shows me how to upload it onto my computer, I will show you.  He's gotten so big!!!

The other thing is our girl Vallie learned that she CAN jump up onto a chair if there's something there she really wants.

I don't know who was more shocked, me or her.  LOL  She still comes to her mommy when she wants up with me though. She'll never be a jumper.

That's about all I have to talk about.  I did finish a new shawl and it's made out of alpaca and cashmere.  It's so soft and cuddly.

Blessings to All, Barbara
