Flowers

I have no idea what these flowers are which have recently bloomed. They seem to bloom late evening and last through the morning. This is the most I have ever had at one time. Probably because it looks like a potential weed and we more than likely pulled it! The weather has been so hot, that I am way behind on weeding our numerous flower beds.

New Look

Today we attempted to recover my bench. And it was a success! I have an Ethan Allen desk with a bench that is over twenty years. The new fabric is black with little gold dots. This is my attempt to blend the fabric with my tiger print chair in the formal sitting room. I was the design expert and my husband was the worker bee. Overall, we are both pleased with the results.

and the new material!!!

Dinner with Mike

My dad, Mike, wanted to take my husband and I out to eat to a nice restaurant. Shula's was the place. The two of us had never been to the restaurant with is located in the Wynfrey Hotel. Got dressed up and headed over there for our seven o'clock reservation. We started with a bottle of Duck Horn wine - dad's favorite since he was living in LA. The barbecued shrimp as the appetizer, bread, and salad. We each had a different cut of stake. I went with the filet mignon. Then we all split a yummy chocolate cake. The food was wonderful and had a great time chatting with my dad. A night to remember!

The Expendables

Friday night my husband went to the movies to see The Expendables. It was a nice butt kicking kind of movie. Gotta love all those guys!

Round Two

Took place this week . . .

Passing Through

My Dad & Ellene were passing through Bham as they were making their way from SC to LA. We met up at the Cracker Barrel for dinner. Got to catch up on some things before they got back on the road.
