Helloooooooo out there

Yikes!!!  I've been missing in action!!1

Sorry my bad.

I caught a cold and then salmonella and then shingles to top it off.  It was a try two get one free thing.

But before that happened I found these two lamps at Goodwilll for 1.29 each. 

I actually bought them for my niece but she didn't want any more lamps.  Soooooo I claimed them.

A little white paint and they are happening already. 

As the paint was drying I wandered around my lawn and found a water lily had bloomed.

So I took this amazing picture of it. 

So now that the lamps are dry and I know where I want to put them.  I need shades to just bring that bad boy home.

I searched online for days, this was my laying flat and subconscious days.

I finally found them and then had to wait some more. 

I found things to amuse me.

Meanwhile my half dead tomato plant that I threw in my file cabinet planter decided to take over the world while I slept. 

When I did wander out side I was taken aback and a little terrified.  I've seen "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"  and I think it started this way. 

Then as I went back to the safety of my home my shades finally arrived.

They were perfect!! 

I really love them <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

I did a full picture of both of them but the window above the bed has the window fan in it with cardboard and duck tape and I just really didn't want to blow the illusion of harmony.

Even though I just told you about it, hmmmm, ok ignore what I said and look at the picture.

Oh I also broke down and bought some pillows for my couch. 

I still have intentions of making some pillows but sometimes my intentions end up as pavement to a hot place.

 

PS  we did some beach time too :) 

So there is my account and hopefully I will not disappear again for awhile.
