My little grandson Peyton is 1 year old today!

His party is Saturday, but I do have a picture that his Mommy took of him last night! What a fast year it has been. Seems like only yesterday we were in the waiting room wondering if it was a boy or a girl. Well, he's all boy, that's for sure! Happy Birthday, my little sweetheart!

My Very First Tablescape Thursday!

Thank you, Susan, for hosting Tablescape Thursday...so many beautiful and unique table settings that can be seen by clicking on the picture below!




Since my son will be joining us for dinner tonight, I decided to do an informal 'Texas' theme...hence the Shoulda Been A Cowboy sign! (The Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show is just around the corner, so I'm getting in the mood!)







A boot frame displays the menu for the evening.




An old purse I use for decorating in the game room works great for holding a plant for the centerpiece.



I've really enjoyed these red plates I purchased at Marshall's before the holidays. They are so versatile....I can use them for just about every holiday! The salad/dessert plates were also a Home Goods find...on clearance no less!

Outdoor Wednesday!

Thank you, Susan, for hosting another fun 'Outdoor Wednesday'!


My tulip magnolia was in full bloom last year! Usually we get a freeze right before it buds out, and I lose half the blooms.



My redbud tree...



These beautiful daylilies are only a couple of the many given to me by a dear sweet cyberfriend who hyberdizes them.
