~ A QUICK POST ~

Hi everybody! I'm so excited to take a moment from my blogging break to show you this..... I won the giveaway my friend Becky @ http://fly4luv.blogspot.com/ had .... she is a flight attendant & is cute as a bug...check out her blog...it's always a fun read!
*
Look how cute she wrapped things up....I love the toile & lime green papers!
*
She wrote the sweetest note & included it with these "grilling" goodies...
*
Aren't these CIRCLE kabobs the coolest things?...and those kitchen towels are perfect for my kitchen!
*
I couldn't wait to try out the grilling basket...so with some veggies I had on hand, I filled it up....
*
To the grill...
*
While Mr. Bo cooked, a visitor came by....the smell was irresistible...
*
Ummmm, looks like it's ready to eat...I had cooked a brisket in a crockpot all day...so our meal was complete. Thank you so MUCH Becky! I know we'll be enjoying grilling a lot...kabobs are next!
*
I am still on bloggy break for a little longer...Mr. Bo has been down with pneumonia, we had a plumbing problem (stoppage at 70'), gardening to do & a visit for me to the dentist today....AND....
This will be installed TODAY in our den...Yippee!!!
Bellawood Brazilian Teak
*
I want you all to know I have missed you so much and your sweet comments have meant the world to me....I hope to be back to regular blogging very soon!

Good morning my dear friend Bo, I just love seeing your comments when I get up in the AM. I never made it over yesterday a busy day from start to finish. I'm glad you like my changes to the guest bathroom. I didn't do that much but it took me forever to finish the painting. My sister came over and helped me with the baseboard cutting in. I couldn't get on the floor. LOL

Have a wonderful day and I hope your hubby is on the mend.

Hugs...Jeanne

Hello Bo. I didn't visit much yesterday, I was busy all day. The seniors games are in progress and I walked a mile. It was a big day. We also attended the senior Follies and that was so much fun. No time for much commenting. sigh.

I hope Your hubby is feeling better by now. My sister's whole family is sick with something. A chest cold I guess.

Have a great Sunday.

Hugs...Jeanne

Hello Bo, late and tired but I wanted to let you know I was happy to see your comment this am. I am ready for Colorado and thinking about what to pack. It could be chilly Bo. I am so glad your dh is feeling better.

Hugs...Jeanne

jeanne said...

Good morning Bo, are you packing yet? I am visiting you first today. Hooray! You are usually an early bird. I am the early bird today. I knew if I didn't get on the computer early I wouldn't be able to visit anyone. Have a wonderful day Bo. I am getting very excited to head out West.

Hugs xoxo...Jeanne

Cass @ That Old House said...

Dear Bo,
Thank you so much for your kind words about our loss of our little Connie. She was just the dearest, funniest little dog -- and never knew that she was funny! So sweet and gently opinionated. Connie had a bit of a rough life prior to coming to live with us; I'm so grateful we were able to spend some time with her before she left. I miss her, and keep looking for her! She used to push open the bathroom door to join me; I keep waiting for her to do that.

I hope Mr. Bo is doing better. And when your blogging break is over, I hope you've got pictures of your new floors!

Mother's Day I am sure is a day of mixed feelings for you, my friend. God bless you tomorrow, and always.
And thanks.
Cass

jeanne said...

Good morning Bo, We have been running the roads on a photographing spree. I'm loving it but it has left little time for visiting. I hope you are ok and didn't catch your hubby's cold. I know you are getting ready for Colorado. We are leaving this Sat. for Missouri, so I have to think about Colorado too. We will be gone 5 plus weeks altogether. What to pack???

Have a fun and happy day.

Hugs...Jeanne
