Paintings on the parking area walls in Eureka Springs
A FABULOUS Peony in my favorite color
Pops and his "mini me."
I have some random stuff to write about. First, I had a wonderful Mother's Day/Mimi's day. Thanks to my incredible daughters, Sarah and Jessica, for my lovely dinner and presents. Have I told ya'll about Tervis tumblers? They are the BEST drinking glasses. Pricey, but well worth the expense!! The girls found me a set of 4 pink ones!!!! I have sets of beach houses, tropical fish, flip-flops, Razorbacks, etc. I love them. Also, the girls gave me a wonderful pink prayer box with a crown on the top. Sarah made us Paula Deen's 5 layer bar dessert. One of the best, richest desserts I've ever eaten!! How could it not be delicious with a stick of butter and a can of Eagle Brand Milk as part of the ingredients!!
Does Pops not look so content with his little Charlie boy in the above photo?? They are pretty special buddies!!
On a past trip over to Eureka, we discovered the art work on the walls where we parked. There were fabulous paintings of several images. I loved the one above of John Lennon There was a pretty good one of Elvis too. Worth the price of parking!
I took the digital photo that is at the top of my blog of the beach to Sam's and had the most wonderful print made of it on canvas. I was VERY pleased with the end result. It looks like an oil painting!! I want to have one done of Charlie. Check it out sometime when you are in Sam's or the website.
Pops spent the last rainy weekend painting our entryway. I have become very fond of shades of light green for the downstairs. It is amazing how a light color makes the space appear so much larger. This is from a woman who loves hot pink!! Our dining room used to be lime green on the bottom, hot pink on the top. Jessica once said a five year old could have a fun birthday party in our dining room because it was so bright! Now it is a soothing shade of frosty lime (very mild for me)! Sarah says our rooms have been painted more times than the horse in front of the florist out by the mall! ha!
Last but not least, I have read two really good books lately......The Help by Kathryn Stockett(very interesting times during the 60's in the South) and Some Day You'll Thank Me For This by Metcalfe and Hays. The second book has some laugh out loud "southern" wisdom in it. It also has some old, favorite recipes in there. One for homemade mayonnaise, who knew?????
Surely the weather is going to make a turn for the better this weekend before we all have to move with Noah to the Ark!! I need warm, sunny skies and so do the flowers.
Have a fun weekend everyone!
Peace be with you,
Mimi
