{A day at the beach. . .}

Look!
They came!

Hands in Florida picked these up.

With me on her mind.

Minds that were brought together by blogging.

They are beautiful treasures to me.

Thank you, Angie.

Lily has been serving me up some sweet treats.

She comes complete with a waitress outfit.

Santa Buddy has been busy taking care of his sock monkeys.

{Oops.}

Could you guess
a car rolled under

the stove?

These were the "tools" they used for retrieval.

Pretty Smart.

{love,for.all.things.pretty.}

Two pretty pictures for you. I am at work today. I am going to try to remember the photo above. I would like drapes in my dining room. and I like the matching shelves with pictures. . . just an idea. . .Does Bed Bath & Beyond have 20% off coupons every week? Is there a way to save more there?
I love pretty. . .
Love, Tonia

{See you this weekend. . .}

Please keep these two in your prayers. . .
They are in Little Rock for annual training.

Roads are bad.

Weather is "ruff".

Come home safe.

Okay, I promise this could possibly be my last post about this movie. . . because frankly I am getting on my own nerves, so I am certain I am on yours. BUT
I bought the soundtrack. . .

I have listened to . . . Amber by 311. . . a million times.

{Turn 2 into 4}

I know you all probably get ready for dates in a much different way than me. . .

1. Chop nails off as short as possible

2. Chop hair off. . .not short as possible, but pretty short for me!! (Thanks Amber!)

3. Clean out ears.

The Meekers and The Hobbs are keeping each others kids for "date nights". Wonderful. Idea. If. We. Don't. Lose. Momentum. January. . . so far so good. . . Meekers turn.

I love this restaurant. Top 2. . . Olive Garden & Red LobsterOkay this makes it even better.

Seating for 2, but end up with 4, in the seating for 2.

Perfect.

After great food & great conversation.

Stroll to Malco.

Sold out.

Mad dash to Carmike.

15 tickets left. . .

Are you serious?

No! No! No!

So. . .

I batted my eyes.

And put on my sweetest smile.

And asked for the manager.

We are all smiling.

Because.

We all seen Dear John.

Together.

The perfect ending.

{Meet Good Night Bear}

To: Brad
From: Me

I gave Brad this antique bear for his birthday. We were thinking "John" or "Savannah" for a name (Dear John). . . I was thinking "John". . .he said it would be kinda' weird if it were a boy bear. . . . He calls it his Good Night Bear. . .I don't know where he got that, but it's cute.
(I think it's because he tells him good night. Maybe?)

I am working on him/her something to wear.

You think he/she needs to stay a Bare Bear?
I kinda' like Bare Bear.

{Dana II}

Tell Clay we want this one. . .

{Dana}

You are a blessing.
Thanks for your ear. . . I know you are missing one now. . . since I talked it off.

RUN NEXT TIME!!!

Love,
Tonia

He's cracked. Like me. Far from perfect, but still standing.

Happy Sunday!

Getting ready for church?

Then Super Bowl activities. . . I am going for the Saints. . . since I didn't even know where the Colts were from. . .

{Happy Birthday Brad}

Today is Mr. Hobbs Birthday. Earlier in the week I had a small dinner party with some of our friends from the 188th, and a dash of home folks.

I have heard this Apples to Apples game is a trip. . . Mmmmm? Have you ever played it? His all time favorite is Monopoly and they have this 3D City gig so I am anxious to see.

Miss Lily sporting her $3 WalMart Dress. . . Ya'll see em? I love em.

Now for the

meatballs in the crock pot at the top. . .

This is a wonderful way to feed a crowd.

Meatball Subs

80 count plain frozen meatballs

1 can of V-8 Juice (like coke can size)

1 Jar of Traditional Prego

1 small can of tomato paste

Put that Crock on Low, and you'll have yourself a feast in about 5 hours!

Grab some bread and cheese, you're ready!

Party like a Rock Star. . .

{A letter. . .}

Dear Brad,

Thank you for Dear John.

Love, Me

{Cutie Pie Car}

(I understand this post could be a little frightening,especially if this vehicle belongs to you. .) I spied this little cutie in Brooken Hill, but. . .
on the same day when I picked the kids up from school. . . there is was!

Would this not be the cutest "vintage beach ride"? I love it.

Sorry, if it's yours. Don't be scared. I am not a stalker. I just appreciate all things old.
