Recipe HELP….

Happy Memorial Day, I can never forget I would not be sitting in my home with my dog, enjoying blogging if our freedoms had not been fought for for hundreds of years by those who just thought it was what they should do. I think brave means you do what is right, not just what you want to.

THANK YOU  to all who have served, are serving and to the families at home that share you with this great country.

As I am home enjoying a day off because of these great men and women, I watched Rachel Ray. It was a rerun but as I am not watching TV this time of day, but here was a really cool idea for meat loaf!

Meat and potato cup cakes!!

I love it!!

Now I have recently gone Gluten Free. SOOOO all the regular stuffings for a meat loaf I cannot use. Also I would love to add veggies to this.

Now do I add them to the meat so I have filling for the meat loaf, or stick to onions and seasoning in the meat and add veggies in the potatoes, I am thinking corn, maybe squash, zucchini, even broccoli. I am not a carrot and pea fan so I really don’t want to add them.

How would you do it. I really like the littleness and cupcakes rock! I really think this would be a great idea what would you do?

Hugs, Lisa

Just a Thought

I am stopping by to let you know I am almost moved and settled and have pictures to share soon! I hope to be back blogging more soon. We are using any available wifi at the moment so I don't always have access :)

 I just wanted to share a thought

I have worked at my current animal hospital for over 5 years.

I love it and the animals we treat here. So after 5 years you see quite a few of them pass on. Over the past few weeks we have lost more than normal and it is sad for us all. It is hard knowing what it is like to loose a pet and friend. We are lucky that our Vet/owner has been here 25 years and even if it takes some people a while to come back they usually do. I think they like that we too remember their past friends and rejoice in their new ones.

I know this is a sad post for a beautiful Fall day but I was just remembering a few old friends today.

Hugs, Lisa



Movin’ On…

Before

Both corners of my bedroom, it is really small!! I really could fill the Apartment, well maybe one bedroom would be empty, MAYBE ;)

Room with furniture

Dresser one;)

Dresser two!

Nightstand

Bed complete with sleeping dog ;)

Best part about moving I found these

Now I don’t have to figure out what to put on the top of my posts!!

I am really enjoying the retro look of my furniture!

More to come, I have to get all the stuff off the walls at Mom’s and on the walls here! Also stay tuned for the living room!

Pink #2

Last Saturday my niece turned the big #2!!

She had to be a Princess!

Doesn’t everyone have a fluffy pink tiara?

And high heels?

Lots of Pink Bling?

A pink “monhey”

and her own puppy?

I think her day was a Hit!

Hope everyone pops over to Beverly’s for more Pink fun!

Hugs, Lisa

In remembrance of all we have lost on 9/11/2001 and since♥

God bless America

Pink Suzanna’s

This week I will share some of my great pink finds I got from Suzanna’s Antiques! They have the best stuff to look through, I can spend tons of time out there!

I bought this a few weeks ago when I was out there ;)

A whole long piece of PINK pom poms! I love it. No idea what I will do with it but it is just fun!

While I was there I found this great bed spread.  I kept thinking about it and trying to not remember I wanted it, even decided it had to be gone because I really wanted it :(

So as I headed back last week I was hopeful my spread was still there♥♥

It was!!!!

Here is Molly testing it out, she was on it before I had it completely spread out, ugggh!

All over it!

 

I hope you all have good dogs that don’t do cartwheels on your new bed spreads!

Ok for the pink

It is on the top too, a great pattern in chenille! PINK Chenille!

Ahhh…

I also found this cute little plastic charm

Sorry about the blurr, it is tiny!! A little pink radio! Had to ;)

I got these two cute umbrellas at another local shop and the owner asked me what I was going to do with them, really?

“They will sit on a shelf” ;)

Who would have thought silly party favors would be so important to people 50 years later!

This is my real bargain!

A large PINK Pyrex bowl!

I don’t think I have discussed my bowl obsession yet, but I have a BAD one ;)

And this is PINK!! A good friend of mine is moving and didn’t need/want all her things so I nicely offered to take it off her hands, you have to do these things for your friends. They reminded her of her Ex sooooo

I have a PINK bowl, squeal!!!!

I hope you have all had a fun week of what is left of summer and enjoy all the pinks at Beverly’s!

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Saturday!

This week I will again be featuring Molly!

Molly and I were chosen to test these great no slip hair bows!

I love the cute Pink check ones here!!

These are the red and white ones I also got!

I love the way her hair looks like pig tails in these!

They are made by Maiden America!

It is a great  company that sells products made in the US!

This little one was a Surprise! Very pretty. Molly was done by this time even though she really wasn’t happy about any of it.

She is especially perturbed that these little cuties do not come out!! She shakes and rubs her head and they stay put! They don’t even slip!

Although they are really cute they can only be used for dogs as the government did not approve them for little ones.

I was given the opportunity to try these through Business2Blogger. It is a fun way to try new things and tell about it! Really glad they worked that would have been bad ;)

Please go visit our sweet host http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ for a whole list of cute pinkies to visit! I hope everyone is wearing their pink flip flops and having a wonderful summer day!!

Hugs, Lisa ♥

Pink Puppy!

This week for Pink Saturday I will share my pink puppy.

Ok so Molly isn’t pink but her special new sweater  Jumper is!

Molly was lucky enough to have a friend Ami in England whose mom made her this custom sweater Jumper!

 

Here is Ami in her sweater Jumper!

Her mom Midge is the master mind behind Soggibottom Bears.

She is a super fun blogger!

Molly’s hair is a bit poofy so she looks squeezed into her Sweater! Ooops their is Spunky’s foot in the corner. Poor boy. No sweater Jumper for him. He won’t wear them☺

Look at the detail in this. It has a turtle neck with white stripes♥

I just love it and even though it is warm here in NC she wore it around all night. Had to show it off. ☺

Please visit Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for a whole list of Pink goodness!!

Happy Pink Saturday♥

Hugs, Lisa 

ps sorry for the miss type, as this jumper is from England it cannot be called a sweater! ☺

Pink Saturday!!

I want this

Schwinn,  I have always wanted a Schwinn!

And PINK!

I have seen it in person.

It exists!!

At , wait for it

WAL-MART!!!!

I want this on the front. It is at REI!!

Not sure what she thinks yet. Will have to hook up her harness so she doesn’t bail out!

Have a Happy Pink Saturday!

Please visit Beverly for the whole list of Pinkies!

Hugs, Lisa

I am Overwhelmed

Thank You!

I do so appreciate all the wonder thoughts and even the tears you have shared with me. I am a little better today. 

My baby cousin Chase who HAD Neuroblastoma, YES I mean HAD, is done with treatments. His last scans are clean! I am so overjoyed. 

In the same conversation I shared that my dog was gone and found out my aunt and uncle lost their Yellow Lab, Bud, this weekend too. 

I have to say as much as I loved my Casey and their sweet Bud, I will trade them for sweet Chase's health.
I really wanted to answer each of you individually but you are all so sweet I just feel a bit overwhelmed by the number of sweet comments so PLEASE know I cherish each and everyone of them!  ♥

I only worked half a day today, we were not busy at work and that was fine. I wanted to be busy but if I couldn't be I am glad I could be home. Off again tomorrow and I will be back to visit!

You all mean so much to me.

Thank you!

Hugs, Lisa

Goodbye my sweet baby

Casey 1996-2010

Good bye my baby.

My sweet girl.

You and I grew up together

You were the one who got me through trying to figure out who I wanted to be.

You were happy to be sent to Grandma’s when I couldn’t keep you with me.

And you were always right beside me in my lowest times to make me feel like there would be a tomorrow.

I will be a different person because of you and will never ever completely get over not having you.

I love you.

Momma

My Name is Eloise…

I am Six.

I am a city kid.

I live at the Plaza Hotel.

I love Eloise.

She was created in 1955 by Kay Thompson.

She was so wonderfully brought to life by Hilary Knight.

“Pink. It’s a way of Life.”

As you can tell from this original illustration Pink was the only color used in the books.

Have I told you I LOVE the 1950’s!

Every thing about Eloise is wonderful!

Her room!

(from Disney’s Eloise at the Plaza)

It’s Pink!

Her dog

Weenie is the best dog in the world!

Eloise is a girl who knows what she likes and what she wants and she is determined that everyone else will have what they want and like too!

I want to be Eloise!

Please visit Beverly for more Pinks!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa

ps The girl who played Eloise, Sofia Vassilieva, was the oldest daughter in “My Sister’s Keeper! “

And

Happy Spring!!!
