Well, here is my kitchen mess, have a hard time to cook, do holiday baking, and all that stuff, but maybe now everyone will understand!!!
Here are my boxes, in my bed room, out on the porch, and here there and everywhere, dishes here there and everywhere, but I did find my cupcake pans and brownie pan after an hour or so, had to find the flour, sugar and all that stuff too!!!!
Oh!!!!! my measuring cups are ..........
Then, a call, and what do we have now?????? parts of the kitchen arrived while I was trying to get my baking done, still missing a counter top, and .........
Well, the good looking guy there is Juju, just came back from Guadeloupe, looks like he needs a good shave!!!!
That guy makes my day!!
 Merry Christmas to all
OH!!!! and yes eveything has to go back in the boxes, can't fill the cupboards yet!!!!

English roses up and going!!



Christmas, Flowers, and Happiness!!!






I was very spoiled for my day,    my son and DL and grand kids sent these beautiful roses,
The azalea came from a very good friend, and the peonies came from another very good friend.
I also received a beautiful Camellia for the garden,
My Christmas deco is not the greatest this year, but that will make it even better next year when the
kitchen and everything is done!!!!!
I keep hoping, so it should just get better now.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes from all my new blog friends,
Wishing you all a very dreamy holiday season!!!
