"Maggie" and "Clara".... Our "Grand Dogs"... :-)

Our son brought their dogs over, for a visit.  This is
.
'Clara'...  A Swiss Mountain Dog..   100 pounds...  But still
.
a puppy.  :-)
.
And here is olden "Maggie", a beautiful Black Lab.  Whom
 .
I love dearly!  It's hard to get photos, since they are in
 .
constant motion.  :-)
.
Dear 'Maggie' ~ And big, big 'Clara' ~ Our 'Granddogs' .
.
On the move again!  But sweet 'Maggie' is still sitting.  I
 .
don't blame you 'Maggie"!  You and I are both olden.   .
.
And we do not care to bounce around, like the Youngin's.  ,-)

Do you have a preference...???? :-))))

 .
My husband made me a "new-old" lamp, for my
 .
kitchen counter.  :-)  It is newly made.  But has the
 .
look of a little lamp, which has been around a while.
 .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little experiment here.....    I am leaving a line space, 

between my post lines.  
.
Does this make reading my post, any easier, than the
.
usual way?  (Of no line left open, between lines of words, 

in my posts)
.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Plus, I have Bold Setting, on first paragraph.  Regular

Setting here, in this paragraph.
.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have a preference(s)???
.
Please and thank you.

Little decoration.....

My only Easter decoration...   The beautiful Egg, painted by one of my daughters~in~law, years ago.  I have taken very good care of it, for a long time.  :-)
.
.
And here are just a couple of pretty cups...    My decorating has really fallen by the wayside.  :-))))

Signs of Spring...

Sign of Spring....  Chalk drawing on driveway...
.
Spring sunshine and shadows, on a carriage house...
.
With nicer weather, we actually went out to eat...

On Instagram, I see Prosecco.  So I finally had a single serving bottle of it, for myself.  Sparkling!  Delicious!
.
His meal was Lobster Ravioli in Alfredo Sauce.  :-)
Yummm....
.
Mine was Chicken Marsala over Gluten Free corn pasta.  Yummmmm....
.
For 6 days a week, we eat healthy.
Sunday, is the day for "treats"...
.

"I'm Late, I'm Late...."



"They say" that we are now on Daylight Savings Time.
.
Well hooray for "them."
.
I dislike clocks, and prefer Nature's Time.
.
.
Therefore I look out the window and know what "time" of day it is.  And night, is after the sun sets.  
.
My Body Clock takes care of the rest.
.
For those pesky doctor appointments, I'll have to look at a clock.  The same for the few programs I watch.
.
But other than that......   Being retired.....  
.
I can ignore man-made Daylight Savings Time.
.
>,-)))))))
.
.
And you????

A new "Nana Bag"

My old "Nana Bag", in Gibson Girl fabric, was getting threadbare.  It was time for a new one.
.
I call my regular bag, the "Nana Bag", because I always carried Grand Children necessities in it.  Extra tissues at all times.  When grands get in HS and are playing sports, some chocolate to revive them after a hard game, was another thing, carried in the "Nana Bag."  :-)
.
And...  All the time...   It is the only purse I carry. 
.
Since this fabric has a large pattern, each side looks different.
.
And I even lined it, with another fabric.  It's not perfect, but I am very "proud" of myself.  :-))))))))
