FSO - rooms

This Friday, share with us rooms from your home. What makes you happy, what are you currently working on. Or, share with us rooms from museums, schools or other objects from your town.

Been absent from FSO for several weeks but do like this mimi so decided to join up this week and catch up with my fellow FSO bloggers.

Looking from the dining room end of the family room into the eat in kitchen.

Love my Cape Cod House.

Love these floors. 


 No matter where I show my guests
They always like my kitchen best.

Linking up here with FSO

Share the JOY Thursday

Haven't posted for several days. 

Have been busy with my jewelry making for charity.

Got a take a moment and share with all of you and Meri some JOY.

Fun birthday party for our son who turned 50 this weekend.

 I love family get togethers.
Can't believe how time flies.
What Joy thinking about the fun we all had when the kiddos were growing up.
It gives me such JOY that we can all come together and continue to share that JOY.

FSO- Surprise

This Friday share with us something you came across in your town that surprised yourself; or something that might surprise visitors!

 Yes this is from my archives but I can definitely remember the day I saw and realized this.

Right in our main business district.

Share the JOY Thursday

Had an episode of bulging disc this week and that is hard to deal with.

Ice packs and no sitting for days.

When it is finally calmed down it is such a great feeling to be back to normal again.

Got to go for a scenic drive and some photography opportunities.

 

 There is much JOY is getting through a health problem and feeling good again.

I get JOY from photography and even more so when some wonderful sights are found to photograph.

Tweaking it Tuesday

Found a new linky party I like.

Tweaking it Tuesday.

Been making jewelry for Journey Crafts, a fund raiser for the Sisters of Charity Mission work.

The beads are made from the pages of The Journey, a quarterly magazine published by the SCN about mission work done by sisters and associates, (I am an associate), all over the world.

The pages are cut in one inch wide triangles and rolled into the shape of a bead by many of the retired sisters.

Next we string and add trim beads for necklaces, bracelets, earrings, key fobs. These items are sold in the SCN Visitor's Center and other facilities that the sisters own and staff.

Added the exotic animals to honor the missions in Botswana, Africa.
