New Additions

 

I have a lot of garden clean up to do, but I thought I would just stop

by and share some photos of the new additions to my

breakfast room.  This area has been decorated and redecorated

more than once, but I was tired of how it looked, so I

added a couple of pretty plates and a copper mold.  Ya'll

know how much I love copper!

So now I am really loving this spot.

I also changed out the milk glass pitcher for a red

transferware one.  I'm loving this one too.

Well, off to the garden.  I am hoping that the live oaks 

will stop dropping their leaves soon.  I will be bagging

more leaves from beds today.  My azaleas are blooming, 

but nothing like their usual splendor.  The freezing temps

were tough on them.  I lost my Mexican Heather and looks

like my Carolina Jasmine too.  So sad.  More later ....

Love,

In the Kitchen With Susan and Oliver

In our house, the kitchen is always an active place.  Lots of meal prep,

sitting at the breakfast bar drinking coffee and doing crosswords,

Oliver always nearby.  Since we spend so much time in here, I have

decorated the kitchen with things I love.  Lots of copper, lots of

baskets, pretty plates.  It's not sleek and utilitarian, rather cozy and

well loved.

As in other parts of the house, I love setting up vignettes.  

Happy little spots displaying things I love.

Have a wonderful weekend.  Enjoy the favorite niches of

your own home!  

Love,

Susan and Oliver

 

My Health Update

For those of you who are curious about the state of my health ....

I am happy to report that I am feeling great!

I am working out with weights three times per week, and I am

back to walking 10,000 steps per day.  I have gained all my

weight back and am sleeping well.  I have learned not to get

too stressed out about things, and to just focus on the positive

as best I can.  I will admit that the pandemic was a bit of a

struggle as I was still receiving immunology treatments and had

lab work and treatments at the hospital every two weeks.  Now I

am in remission and God willing, I will remain that way.

The prayers and support that I have received from all of you

have been such a blessing and I do believe that they have all

contributed to my current good health.  

So while my posting has been spotty, my plan is to resume

chatting with you all more frequently.  Thank you for all of 

the well wishes and prayers.  I have been touched by your

kindness.  I also want you to know that although I have been

able to read your comments, I have been unable to reply for

some unknown reason.  I am working on resolving this glitch.

Love,

Susan and Oliver

 

Cozy Quilts

I have loved quilts for a very long time.  I never tire of them.

I admire the time and the love that goes into the creation

of each one.

As a consequence, I have them all over the house!

I hope y'all are having a cozy Sunday.

Love,

Susan and Oliver

 

Today is Oliver's first Birthday!

It's hard to believe that my baby boy is one year old 

already.  He has grown into such a good little dog and

we are so very proud of him.  He will be having a 

hamburger with a candle in it for dinner.  

We love you our little one.
