Peonies

Last week was fun week for flowers. It started with my brother giving his wife a dozen yellow roses for her birthday. See aren't they beautiful
Then my sister gave me the pink roses pictured in an earlier post. Then we bought and planted the flowers outside our home. The baskets were in a previous post and then there are marigolds and gerber daises and wave petunias, etc.

My dad gathered these peonies from my brother's yard and put them in the vase and brought them to church so we had fresh flowers up in front during Sunday service a week ago. He actually did 2 bouquets. He asked if I wanted these and of course I said yes. Aren't they beautiful. The vase is mom's and dad told her I was going to keep the vase because I had told him I loved it. He was only teasing her, but she told me to keep it because it had sat in the garage for the last year without being used. I was so thrilled. I absolutely love this vase. Now I need to get some more flowers to put in it.
Then after the 8th grade graduation where we served the cake and punch they gave me a blue dyed carnation. I seldom receive flowers and then to get that many in a week or two was awesome! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

I'm Addicted

Yes, it's true. I'm addicted to Farmtown on Facebook. I resisted for a long time, but I fell victim to it last week and now I'm hooked. That's part of the reason I haven't been on here as much lately. Have you tried it yet. It's actually a lot of fun. But before I realize it, I've spent an hour playing with that little farm.
Hi, my name is Cathy and I'm a Farmtown Addict!! hahaha

Fun at K.I.

We went to Kings Island again last night after work. It was a beautiful day. Blue skies with big fluffy white clouds and about 78-80 degrees. Couldn't ask for better.

This is Delirium below. The girls didn't get to ride this because they were working on it. I don't know how anybody can ride it. It makes me very nervous just to watch it!! But they love it.

I just thought the sky and clouds were pretty here, so that's what this picture is. Hubby and I were waiting on the girls as they rode the Racer.

The girls rode the swings. I love these paintings on the top of the ride. It reminds of an old fashioned Carousel. In fact, they have a really nice carousel. I'll try to get a picture of that sometime in the future.
If you look close you can see them in the back on the left side of the picture. KLS has on red shorts and sunglasses and KJS is by her.

Here's another picture of them. It was hard to catch them because they were going by so fast.

Here's a picture of the top of the Eiffel Tower. It's is 1/3 the size of the original Eiffel Tower.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!
