More Beautiful Flowers!!!!

Last Saturday we were invited to a 50th anniversary party for dear friends and forner neighbors. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful party. The centerpieces on the table were exquisite! They decided that a fair way to give them to people was to see who had been married the longest at each table! Well, we WON!!! I was thrilled, they are so beautiful and are happily on the dining room table right now. Hope you enjoy seeing them!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5mkO_wU-uGlWrysWGDoId72KowzJ8iCUB1TYmIQSeVJCzXqsAEPH3snoLbq5Ht2SHhfRjZuCzgRZVEZBstsA6o5lI_cFgetYCKfcGPjFyWrmZf_NqVWepbQOh6z3QjpFyGhqdAAdo9gDp/s1600/IMG_0372.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5mkO_wU-uGlWrysWGDoId72KowzJ8iCUB1TYmIQSeVJCzXqsAEPH3snoLbq5Ht2SHhfRjZuCzgRZVEZBstsA6o5lI_cFgetYCKfcGPjFyWrmZf_NqVWepbQOh6z3QjpFyGhqdAAdo9gDp/s640/IMG_0372.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> A very pale astromeria, pink carnations, deep pink roses and purple filler.

potty time

We interrupt our regular scheduled design post for a bit of mother-related talk and baby pictures. We've got some big news in this house. The moment all parents look forward to with excitement and dread.<br /><br />Eve is ready for potty training.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKnmyAr6qSNOqq_dicc9gvAbPDiT2dd-VCHHoEd50YHwKMNvxl93YJNIXwZO7In9R84xPFE0MU4DoEji5ccz8-XpkULlL17HKe2nOlwqEWn7_ud1x8SOXiQDsGYeq3XGo2b3zOwswBu6oe/s1600/Eveinbumbo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKnmyAr6qSNOqq_dicc9gvAbPDiT2dd-VCHHoEd50YHwKMNvxl93YJNIXwZO7In9R84xPFE0MU4DoEji5ccz8-XpkULlL17HKe2nOlwqEWn7_ud1x8SOXiQDsGYeq3XGo2b3zOwswBu6oe/s320/Eveinbumbo.jpg" width="291" /></a></div><br />All the signs are there and I'm more than ready to be done with diapers. And while Eve is my sweet and always-happy-to-cuddle daughter, she is also rather...willful. Rules and directions hold no interest for her which, of course, is the exact opposite of Amelia.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOD-KRPpWm1z_6sYS1jR_2SCDXru7XcyeEz2DOU5P2D4HSERbx1ZgZgfBtWBVxkBaubg3I-L-R9Z1EbVtVbqPB2e7zMjasOlJ1t79E8Yh35MaJqspBjahzewaIPE1UUrNHpbynyr1jc-Xh/s1600/Ameliapotty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOD-KRPpWm1z_6sYS1jR_2SCDXru7XcyeEz2DOU5P2D4HSERbx1ZgZgfBtWBVxkBaubg3I-L-R9Z1EbVtVbqPB2e7zMjasOlJ1t79E8Yh35MaJqspBjahzewaIPE1UUrNHpbynyr1jc-Xh/s320/Ameliapotty.jpg" width="295" /></a></div><br />With Amelia, I explained what we were going to do, took off the diapers and we hunkered down in the house for three or four days and went cold turkey. No pull ups, just lots of clean ups. But she got it pretty quickly in that classic first child over-achiever kind of way. It was smooth sailing.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvYZhXmafGeWdtFCHMWOKlvJWfdezw-UN7ltieoD3U7CUTHzhMewZfO6Bri6KBvRFEZzc6Wbftszo_kqVB37tCXjFcnIDCe6EoiEvPS9mNiMKX896hLbc1Di1uzn0tG8LLOmXB5LwaxGI8/s1600/Eve.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvYZhXmafGeWdtFCHMWOKlvJWfdezw-UN7ltieoD3U7CUTHzhMewZfO6Bri6KBvRFEZzc6Wbftszo_kqVB37tCXjFcnIDCe6EoiEvPS9mNiMKX896hLbc1Di1uzn0tG8LLOmXB5LwaxGI8/s320/Eve.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Eve, I think, is going to require a different tactic however. So I'm looking for ideas. I've read them all - M&M's, charts, gifts, etc. but I want to know, what worked for you...or your kids rather. How did you potty train your kids?<br /><br />

~~~Hydrangeas in new vase!!!~~~

Good afternoo! We had a shwing at the old house today so had to go over, turn all the lights on, blow the driveway and decks etc. I brought some clippers over so I could cut some hydrangeas. There are 10 bushes so lts of flowers are JUST starting to bllom. I will be cutting them as they progress too. Hope you enjoy.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1jYhAu30xCN68TQJf7MLuXMbu9y6pOSbkT1g1sTBLJJqfztgPJ-vRFrhSouxpPXId3MNBfEqUnC8xCYdp7Y_NHsvSW2mk15oQUdZh1h9r6b__I2Cv4LxdQstFd1OvNAcVdSYBcosqip28/s1600/IMG_0395.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1jYhAu30xCN68TQJf7MLuXMbu9y6pOSbkT1g1sTBLJJqfztgPJ-vRFrhSouxpPXId3MNBfEqUnC8xCYdp7Y_NHsvSW2mk15oQUdZh1h9r6b__I2Cv4LxdQstFd1OvNAcVdSYBcosqip28/s640/IMG_0395.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I got this rattan wrapped vase last year but hadn't used it yet.

Have you ever been so tired that you have trouble forming a full sentence? That would be me.<br /><br />I told y'all about the 50th anniversary party we were set to have at our house on Saturday but while I got ready for that last week I also had a surprise 4-day hospital stay (the hubs and he's OK now), an unexpected tree removal, out-of-the-blue plumbing problems and a sudden downpour.<br /><br />But the Sister Sledge in me held on and I survived. And more importantly, 60 people had a great time. If you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/littleblackdoor/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> you got a few sneak peaks, but I'll do a proper party post after I sort thru the tornado that is my house and see if I got any good pictures. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixDaoiM_wWLVnJxyvbS-xUwIqEJQX8Eq-o6L5LJgI-e5Mrp9mbIeC2_Lk4XITwaFAYvVW1e5TPv_yaXZFxrfRJDGcSXorxIZyNYzXepEMnnV41RSpJ-X2KLs63eYTb873zaCy_d7I6kLhf/s1600/welcomewreath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixDaoiM_wWLVnJxyvbS-xUwIqEJQX8Eq-o6L5LJgI-e5Mrp9mbIeC2_Lk4XITwaFAYvVW1e5TPv_yaXZFxrfRJDGcSXorxIZyNYzXepEMnnV41RSpJ-X2KLs63eYTb873zaCy_d7I6kLhf/s400/welcomewreath.jpg" width="396" /></a></div><br />Until then here is the welcome wreath that greeted guests at the front gate.<br /><br />So what did I miss last week?

~~~A Beautiful Housewarming Gift!!!~~~~

Hi everyone! I know I have been MIA, but we had houseguests all last week and kept VERY busy. Joe's sister and BIL came up from Fl. to visit us and see the house and see some other relatives too. They brought us some wonderful housewarming gifts and this is what I got!!!!! I REALLY love it.

The little hole in the back is perfect to place a tea light inside and it is all cut out so the light shines through so beautifully!

~~~Dinner with Family and Friends!!!~~~

Hi my friends! I know I have been MIA but we have house guests. Joe's sister and Bil are here from Fl. for the week and we are keeping BUSY! Last night our daughter and SIL came here from work and Joe's cousin, Bonnie came over and my best friend, Wenda. It was a full house. We had a very simple dinner: grilled chicken, potato salad, fruit salad, greek salad with greek dressing and deviled eggs and baked beans! It was all yummy but the best part is spending time with loved ones. I set a pretty simple table and thought I would share. I started with a plain white tablecloth and layered on my green and white placemats. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSXRrIRmISs-V6L5fO_L7kGYsr6axmqc4llkbsqDFOiuuFtdV4MIOgl4eRTtxH4G5t-UXrtWoo5HZwy_zHRHIZJ5H3U_EHh8MYCkE5Fcpvy755ME7F-GOHZpBjZOVR3X_zgH4WBrSamJcC/s1600/IMG_0351.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSXRrIRmISs-V6L5fO_L7kGYsr6axmqc4llkbsqDFOiuuFtdV4MIOgl4eRTtxH4G5t-UXrtWoo5HZwy_zHRHIZJ5H3U_EHh8MYCkE5Fcpvy755ME7F-GOHZpBjZOVR3X_zgH4WBrSamJcC/s640/IMG_0351.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> My embossed white dinner plates then a black and white salad were layered on top.
