I am pretty sure my purpose here on earth is to bring smiles and laughter to everybody's lives I touch. So here's my contribution to your smile today!
The story starts like this... it's a typical Tuesday out running errands. I have many stops with the final stop being some grocery shopping at Walmart. Due to inclement weather and an extensive list of things to get, I opted not to walk this time... although maybe I should have... more on that in a minute.
Upon finishing my shopping (and no shopping trip to Walmart would be complete without visiting all 4 corners of that ginormous store) ☺ I check out, and pushed my shopping cart to the car to load my groceries. I unlocked the car, threw my purse in the front seat and loaded my plethora of items and bags into the back seat. Oh, I'm so excited, I bought myself a new pillow... the first in at least 5 if not 10 years... can't wait to get home to take a nap... Oh yeah!
I know, hurry along Aesop... But this is where my fable gets good...
I push my cart into the cart rack, walk back to my car, open my door, set my purse on the floor and proceed to get in the car and shut the door.... on the PASSENGER side. I look over waiting for Chris to get in the drivers side... but alas, he didn't come with me. Boy do I look goofy sitting in my own car awaiting my driver...
Now that you are probably rolling on the floor laughing, there's one final chuckle in this whole exciting ordeal... that's the 2nd time I've done that in the last year. Last time I actually got in the back seat closed the door and thought I was going to get home that way.
Hope your day is a bit more ummmm, less confusing than mine! Lots of Love to all!
Have a splendiforous afternoon!
Dawn... officially proof... it really is all downhill after 27

♣ Hope you all were Irish Yesterday ♣
What a beautiful day we had for St. Patty's day yesterday. We got out in the yard and re-edged a few gardens. I really wish it could be just like yesterday EVERYDAY! It was perfect out there!
Let us know who got to see a leprechaun! :)
Love to all!

Spring is coming... is your green thumb ready?
This is the during... I should have taken a "Before pic... ooops!
Spring is coming, I know it is. Today I thought I'd help it along... I was repotting my beloved Aloe Plant!
Here's the Aloe Plant Story... About 2 years ago, I was up at my grandma's house, and she was watering all her indoor plants when a sprout of aloe broke off . She gave it to me saying if I went home and put it in a glass of water, it would root and I could plant it.
So I did.... and so it did! My little 2" sprig of Aloe rooted and I planted it in a beautiful piece of pottery. (The 3rd from the right in the photo below.) It sits in the really sunny window in our kitchen. Over the years, it had grown so much it was overflowing the pot and had "aloe vines" growing down the side, outside the pot. (I really should have transplanted it about 6 months ago.)
My one little sprig of aloe turned into 5 full size plants, 2 small planters and another full size planter that's up in our bedroom (not in the picture.) Crazy, I know, but I wanted to share with you. Aloe is a heaven sent plant, honestly I love it... from cuts to burns, it's amazing for chapped lips and dry skin. I love it... seriously, even Chris will testify to how bizarre my love of Aloe is.
It felt sooooooo good to get my hands in the dirt. Really, at least it's my little patch of sunshine during this cold winter.
Hope you are all having a loving, green day! Lots of love from our sunny corner of the world to yours!! ♥
So here's my after picture of most of my plants.

Good Morning all our sweeties in Kenosha & Union Grove! Does anybody have sweet plans for the day... breakfast in bed, box 'o chocolates, dinner and a movie... anything to share the wonderful love? We just want to wish everybody a warm, snuggly, wonderful day! I love showing the love... so next to Christmas, this is one of my favorite holidays!
Give an extra kiss, lots of extra hugs and make sure to give the pups & ferrets a few extra treats (they need to feel the love too!) :)

Happy Weekend!
What a gorgeous day out! It's such a tease as we all know that we're still in winter and I'm sure have many more snowfalls and cold temps to endure.
But today, is just beautiful! I hope everybody gets to get outside and breathe in the wonderful, warm fresh air!
So what am I doing sitting at the computer, right? LOL... I'm off to enjoy the sunshine!
Lots of Love to all!! XOXO,
Dawn
