Bentley's Show and Tell

Bentley must have heard me talking about Show and Tell Friday over at Cindy's Romantic Home because he has decided to participate this week. Here is one of Bentley's favorite toys. We all call him "Mini Me" because he looks just like a miniature of Bentley. Bentley loves to squeeze Mini Me's tummy because when he does, Mini Me barks. Bentley particularly loves to do this while I am exercising on my pilates mat or if I am talking to someone on the telephone. Then I hear bark bark, bark bark, bark bark.

Thanks for sharing Bentley!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

A Cozy Weeknight Dinner

The winter nights have been cold, sometimes snowy and often rainy. Although spring should be arriving in a few weeks, it is still comforting to have a warm and cozy candlelight dinner at home. Maybe a pot of stew and some hot biscuits, or a bowl of home made chicken noodle soup and a salad. A warm and inviting table shared with family on a cold evening. Come join me and others at Susan's Tablescape Thursday at her lovely blog, Between Naps on the Porch.

A Little Lagniappe for Rednesday

Yes it's Rednesday again over at It's a Very Cherry World. Since I love red, it's easy to participate. This Rednesday I am featuring my chili pepper red Jeep Wrangler. First of all, let me say that it is photographed in a bad setting. This pic was taken last summer in the parking lot of my husband David's warehouse. No, I did not run into that damaged car in the background. Anyway, please notice the license plate - LANYAP. That is a phonetic spelling of "lagniappe" which is a cajun word for "a little something extra". The jeep was an anniversary gift from my husband. I have actually had people follow me into parking lots to ask me what LANYAP means! My Jeep is great fun. It has big mudding tires on it so that I can go off road, although you won't find me doing much of that. David thought I needed them. Right now the top is still up, but when summer comes it will be down for months. Not only is it more fun to drive when the top is down, but it's also more convenient to load up finds from garage sales and thrift stores!

Love,

Susan and Bentley

Vintage Baby Setting

I am joining Table Top Tuesday over at A Stroll Thru Life. My theme is a vintage baby table setting. I think the vintage baby warming dishes are so sweet. I hope that you enjoy this vintage baby vignette.

Love,

Can't Think of Anything To Say

Did you ever have one of those mornings when you can't think of anything to post? One of those mornings when you wish that you had been better organized the day before but you didn't bother to get anything ready for posting? Now it's Monday, I have not posted for a couple of days, and I just can't focus. I have lot's of things that need to be done today, but I feel like crawling back in bed. A mid morning nap sounds good.
