Oh my , I forgot to post pictures form this week end at Port O’Conner. It was so relaxing, the weather was very nice and perfect for beach combing. We have had a coastal cottage in Port O’Conner Texas for about 10 years and spend summers there when the children are out of school. This is where I concede my final destination.

These rose paintings are form a neat little shop in Port Lavaca I think I my have paid 4.00 apiece for them.

I have two of these incredible red door, they are from my Great Grandmothers home.

Calum, our youngest son works at a little Div "Joyce's" on the weekends that we are able to come down here. Here he is making me a rather yummy pancake for Sunday breakfast.

this is just a few of the treasures we found on the beach

I'm planning on " glaming with glitter" some of these sand dollars for my Sweet heart Swap

Donnie and I had lunch on the boat in the middle of the bay

It really was warm and sunny, however when your going 35 miles an hour on the water it can be very chilly.

Well that was my weekend, hope you had a great one as well.

Greetings

I'm sooo happy, I receveid my Sweet heart swap partner today, Kathy Jacobson. I can’t wait to get to know her and what it is she loves about Valentines Day.

I had lunch at the house with Kim and Tamaria today. Tammy made hamburgers for us and we enjoyed just eating in for a change. I’m down in my back today because of all the mopping I did yesterday. I think my back muscles are allergic to mopping. Do think I could get the doctor to prescribe a maid for my allergy?

Here is a little something for you to choose what rose 's to send to your loved one s on valentines

Pale pink roses can note grace, gentleness, and gratitude.

Light Pink Roses A joy to behold, light pink roses express fun and happiness.

Deep pink roses say "Thank you."

Lilac roses indicate the sender has fallen in love at first sight with the recipient and is enchanted.

Pure white roses symbolize truth and innocence. They also send other messages: "I miss you" and "You're heavenly."

Coral roses express one thing with their passionate color: Desire.

Peach roses speak of appreciation, gratitude, and also sympathy.

Orange roses communicate enthusiasm and desire on the part of the sender.

Yellow roses indicate friendship and freedom -- so don't send them if your intentions are romantic and long-lasting. Yellow roses are also appropriate for sending congratulations to newlyweds, graduates, Texans, and new mothers.

Dead RosesRegardless of the original color, dead roses say "It's over" loud and clear.
