NEXT ODDS AND BODS FOR 4/2/26

 

I am taking them all to my dream cottage…


where I think I will have this for breakfast today.


and these to share for later.


I love this pretty art.







There should always be time to enjoy finding humor in the ordinary things of life, especially those that I can relate to. So, here is a funny to tickle your funny bone.

One day you’re living it up…next thing you know,
you’re at the window wondering if that’s a
Chickadee on your bird feeder.


Time for a new word?
Oriana - OR-de-AH-nuh- golden / dawn / sunrise

 …and here are beautiful and wise words.
When you find rare, gorgeous humans along the path of life
who not only celebrate your quirks but validate them with
loud cries of "me too", be sure to treasure them, because
those free spirits are your people.


May your life be crowded with unexpected joys.
~H. J. Jacksen Brown~

   and always remember to…

“Be kind to yourself on this journey…
You have already come so far.”


 


that you are truly amazing and that…

The greatest thing we can ever do is let people 
know they are loved (Mr. Rogers was a very kind
and wise man).

And so, I am telling you that…




Have a wonderful day everyone,
and thanks for dropping by.






















(My thanks to Pinterest for today’s inspiration.)

  6. The bacon and eggs is for me! The pastel art is so pretty. and the cottage is really pretty, but not for me because I cannot go up or down steps. I have never seen a two-story cottage! I would never have thought red & green would work, but it does look beautiful together. The deviled eggs are gorgeous!!

    1. Me too Ginny, and glad you enjoyed it all. Yes, I know what you mean about the two-story. We are in the same boat. I loved the color scheme and yes, those deviled eggs would be such a treat and definitely great to have. I am not sure mine would be as perfect :)
