Blog Break

I'll be taking a blog break for about a week as I have some out of town visitors!

Here is a photo of a floral arrangement I just put together. I've had this old vase for a long time filled with sunglasses. I saw these lovely roses and hydrangeas at the dollar store ($5 worth) and cut the stems to fit the vase. Hope you like it!


Roses and Hydrangeas

The newspaper had this interesting article yesterday concerning a recent lottery winner and his painful experiences afterward. I think he's doing all the right things unlike most winners.

Lottery winner Craig Henshaw paid a big price for his millions

What a great story! To go from teacher to multimillionaire is surreal. It's too bad he is not married, but I guess setting up educational trusts for his nieces and nephews is good enough.

Love your vase, Christine!

Enjoy the break my friend, with your visitors.
I plan on taking a long break from blogging as from today.
I want to get out into the real world and smell the roses again and spend more time with those I care about.

Christine thank you for being such a supportive blog friend.
Be well dear friend
