#ThrowbackThursday – Labor Day

Since it was my daughter’s birthday the other day I thought I’d share this photo taken the day before her birth. You might say that Labor Day has a whole new meaning in this picture! LOL!

#ThrowbackThursday – Philadelphia Flower Show

I am so counting down to spring! Only 41 more days to go and it’s hard for me to think that it’s think that it’s that far away without a little hint of spring to keep me going. That’s why I love the Philadelphia Flower Show! We go every year since it’s also the same week as my birthday so it’s a super special celebration with my sister and sometimes our daughters. So much fun. For today, I’m sharing a little blast of my fav flowers with you: Carnations. Yes, I know, very pedestrian, but I love them! They just smell so good and they last forever when they’ve been cut.

#ThrowbackThursday Happy B’day Sammie!

It’s so hard to believe that you came into my life so long ago! You’ve brought joy, happiness and life into our lives. You are my daughter and my best friend and I am blessed to have you in my life. Happy B’day. Wishing you many many more! Wishing us many many more together.

#ManCandyMonday Happy Birthday Mark Harmon!

This man is worth multiple Man Candy entries, IMHO. Mark Harmon turns 64 today and he is still totally sexy! Gosh, I remember him playing footbal for UCLA and his cute role in Summer School.

Not to mention he was People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 1986! Whew, Mark has been sexy for quite a long time.

Thoughts of Spring and a Contest!

There is only one thing that says Spring to me more than the crocuses popping their heads through the soil in Bryant Park. What is that one thing? The Philadelphia Flower Show!!

Yep, it’s that time of year again. My sis, niece and I are headed to the show tomorrow, so you won’t see a Fun Friday blog for me. But . . .

Sunday is my b’day so look for a day long celebration and contest! Leave a comment on Sunday’s March 7th blog before midnight EST for a chance to win a $25 Godiva Gift Card, copy of FURY CALLS and a SINS OF THE FLESH lunch bag!
