TGIF........!

 

Just realized that I haven't posted anything since last thursday! Where does the time go?! Haven't been feeling up to snuff so just finishing a few projects, ferrying around my grandkids while my daughter works & just going a bit slower lately. Started with a scratchy throat on Easter sunday with an awful exhaustion...the cold never blossomed but turned into a scratchy throat kind of weird bug! Soo tired with it but still managed to get tot he gym everyday & sweat (thinking that I would sweat it out of me!) NOPE.... still got it & still feeling not quite right. If it is still going on next week, it's a trip to the dr.'s for me. On top of it all, the weather here is NASTY! Lots of wind & rain & cold that chills you~kind of a raw cold. On a lighter note we are starting a fabulous outside project! I have a pretty pergola in my backyard that a gorgeous wisteria just drips from. My husband made it for mothers  day years ago & I decided I love itso much I really want one for one of our front entrances. This one will be complete with two gorgeous antique columns straight from a beautiful old porch on Cape Cod. These are compliments of my dear friend peggy who is so generous in giving two of them up! LOVE THEM & when they are anchored in well enough with cement the top part will go on & will really petty up my front door. It will be  short in length & width but will ooze some old world charm! Can't wait! Constuction starts tomorrow while I am out of town & Sunday I'll put my old jeans & work boots on & get dirty with the guys! I love to help even if I sometimes get in the way!LOL!! When that happens I just sit on a lounge chair with a stack of magazines & some iced tea & shout out instructions & make sure all is going well. My poor hubby is under the gun on this one...since I wanted it done yesterday! Wish us luck with the weather~SO COLD & RAINY today! Wshing you all a fabulous weekend whether you are getting started on a spring project or just enjoying a restful weekend! xoxo

So many different styles but ALL beautiful~Yes?!

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. Feel better soon.
Love all of the photos. What a nice friend to give you some antique columns. Sounds like a great project.
Have a good weekend,

So sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I had the same thing and it took me 2-3 weeks to get completely over it. I was so tired and draggy with it, so you should be at the tail end soon. Love the pergola idea.

Hugs,
LeAnn :)

Are you feeling better yet Chris? Hope so. It is pouring rain here today and we have had a chill for a couple days, so I feel your pain. Can't wait to see photos once hubby gets it finished. Mine did the same for me years ago but sadly it was left behind when we moved. Hmmmm - I feel a Honey To Do project coming on LOL

I just tagged you - so come for a visit when you feel up to it!
