No Snow...But I DIdn't Care....

Well we had no snow on Sunday as predicted...there was a momentary sigh of disappointment....but I recovered QUICKLY because this past weekend was FABULOUS FOR ME...I know it's 3 days past but I've had doctors appointments that took up my days early in the week ...plus my man was off on Monday for President's Day ...So it's been hard to sit for some quality posting time....never the less I DO have time now ...the reason I didn't care if it snowed or not...was that I was able to be with our daughter and her sweetie both days ...Saturday they called my sweetie and I while we were doing errands to ask if we would like to go have lunch with them...I said....YES....then on Sunday we met up at our house to drive together to Williamsburg ....we were heading to the Yankee Candle Co....before we left my angel of a daughter walked in the door holding something...she said Momma I have a gift for you...then she pulled this picture out of Terza..."my boy"....now if your thinking ...Karena you already have Terza's picture on Loblolly...you would be right...but THIS picture is actually a drawing my daughter had done for me....one of the people she works with has a daughter that draws....I HAD TO SHARE THE TALENT of this young lady...she captured the details of this photo so beautifully ...this is the same photo I have posted ....look to the right of Loblolly....fab right ???? Thank you angel for thinking of your momma...I LOVE ...LOVE ...LOVE...MY GIFT....XXXX

We had a wonderful day together.. Yankee Candle Co. was busy but so enjoyable...below is a picture of a new candle they came out with...it is called "Ember Light"...the special thing about it is ....it smells just like a fireplace is burning.......nothing makes me smile like the smell of a good fire...sometimes you can't have a real one...this candle fills my need for that smoky smell just Fine...the picture above is of a LIPSTICK PLANT....If you look the leaves present a succulent kind of bud that looks just lipstick in a tube....I'd never seen one before...isn't it pretty...


Well girls I have come to the end of my post...I'll leave you with some flowers to brighten your day...I hope your all well and full of happiness today...God Bless you ...thank you for stopping by my Loblolly Life....till next time...blessings and big hugs...Karena
