Amber

This is a picture of my Granddaughter, Amber, who passed away on 12/30/08....this pic was taken on Christmas day...We all miss her so much....A group of my close friends, The Fairy Girls,
sent me a gorgeous Hibiscus, and its name is AMBER...in honor of my Amber..and it is soooo Beautiful, just like our Amber Dawn.....It arrived with a bud, and I sat it in the sink and watered it, like the paper said, and this morning, this Beautiful Amber bloom was open in all its glory.....This really means a lot to me, I love you all, fairy girls, and I will be planting this in the yard soon....


This is the what the plant looked like when it arrived, then this Beautiful bloom is what i had this morning...

and I got another surprise today...the mail man just brought me a pkg..and this is the other part of my gift from the Fairies...





This card was made by "Star", she drew this and painted it, I love it and its just Beautiful, she told me that it was her frist try at making cards....I think she needs to make them and sell them......and I hope you will click on the inside of the card and read the Wonderful words there...







I love the stepping stone!

and here they both are together on the patio for now, until they are placed in their home....
Remember every pick is clickable to see larger..

HUGS TO ALL OF MY FAIRY FRIENDS.....I LOVE YOU!

Pics from Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day!...Hubby and I went for a motorcycle ride, it was 80 degrees here on east coast of Florida and we had a wonderful ride...The first pics of the Sandhill Cranes were on the side of the road on a back street and we stopped and Rod was able to get very close to get these pics.....

The other pics are from a cafe at Port Canaveral, where the cruise ships port, I love eating at "GRILLS", they have wonderful bacon wrapped scallops and sweet potato fries....and I always love sticking around and listening to the band outside, and watching ships go by, and seeing the fishermen bringing in their catch and cleaning them, and a lot of pelicans were hanging out there too.....One pelican was on top of the overhang of the cleaning table, and he was just waiting for a snack.....and the fisherman threw him a bit and he caught it too....
We really enjoyed the entire day riding and then on Sunday, we went to Orlando and had a great dinner at a nice resturant we had not been to before, Hubby even made reservations.....It was a nice Valentine's weekend....

Remember, you can click on the pics to enlarge them!

Valentine Cookie Sandwiches

Click on that picture to see them up close and personal........

Early Valentine's treat for my hubby! and he loved them, and I must say, they are very good...I got the recipe from a blog and copied the recipe and forgot to copy the name of the blog...
I will give you the recipe:

Red Velvet Cookie Sandwiches

1 box Red velvet cake mix(I used Duncan Hines)
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened to room temp.(1 stick)

Preheat oven to 350

Mix this together and I hope you have a better mixer than I do, I just have a hand held one and it overheated..lol..

Using a small cookie scoop, place 12 cookies on cookie sheet about 2" apart...

Bake for 10-12 minutes, then place on wire rack to cool...
Then I used Duncan Hines cream cheese icing and spread it on the cookies and put them together....
I had 18 cookies

Let me know if you make them, and I am sure any flavor cake mix and icing would be good too...I bought Strawberry mix to try...
