And now for a few Personal Notes...

Food of the Week.....

On Thursday, I made a very simple dinner for Joe and I.....

These also come in Chicken Cordon Bleu and Chicken Parmesan....

We started eating the cordon blue ones after being invited to dinner at a friend's home over 20 years ago and she served them.....

AND Joe actually likes these!!!!

I made a package of Taco Rice.....

The lobster and scallop ones are quite tasty!!!

Joey does not like these stuffed chickens nor does he like Taco Rice so he had chicken tenders and Chicken Rice!!

LOL!!

On Friday, I fasted for blood work and since I do not like to run with the herd of people who usually go as soon as the doors open because they are fasting, I did not go until around 10:30am....

Walked right in, no one else there, sat down and was there and back home in less than 20 minutes!!!!!

My blood work was posted within a few hours and all is normal and better than ever except for an elevated White Count which is probably due to allergies as my sinuses have been bothering me with all the pollen....

I have an appointment with my family physician this week....

I forgot to drink my coffee until noon and then Joe was Preening and mulching the front slope.....

Good way to fall down the slope when pulling out a weed....

Glad I did not take this rhododendron out of my neighbor's yard when we landscaped her yard last year....

My neighbor, who I was talking to in her car as she was leaving, said that Joe looks like he is throwing rice at a Wedding!!!!

My neighbor who owns the house next to us , who is still remodeling it a year later, said we are on retainer for mulching her yard and slope each year so that is why Joe is doing hers....

And the flower bed under her Living Room window.....

The hostas are all coming up nicely!!!

I will be sharing more of this in future posts....

Since we were busy doing this, I did not eat anything until Joey treated us to Buffalo Wild Wings for Friday Dinner......

Joey got mozzarella sticks, Fries, Naked Chicken Tenders and Buffalo Mac N Cheese!!!!

Yes, he ate it all!!

I got the Cheese Curd Bacon Burger and Tater Tots!

It is a good thing that I did not eat all day as I saved myself for this baby!!!

Joe worked from 8 am til 4 pm on Saturday as a favor for Chef Steve so I threw in a Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Pizza from Price Chopper for Saturday's Dinner!!!!

All this goodness for only $10.99!!!

After I packed away the Christmas decorations from the Sitting Room in February, I set the room back up in a Garden Theme.....

For the past few years, I have been setting up a Fairy Garden on the mantel of my faux fireplace.....

And this year is no different.....

I did do things a bit differently as I moved inside some things that I had been using in my outside Fairy Garden Tub.....

The outside one takes such a beating, especially last year with all the rain we had......

So I wanted to preserve some of the nicer pieces.....

I am going to let the pictures do the talking for the most part....

I took all these pictures in the evening with all the lighting turned on.....

Butterfly clip ornaments bought in Walmart after Christmas one year...

A vintage hand mirror hung on the wall....

I did the center differently this year....

I placed the wood pedestal in the overturned mountain cliff that I use in my Christmas Village under the Living Room Tree.....

At Christmas with the lighthouse on top of it....

I moved the house on top of the Tea Cup inside from the outside Fairy Garden Tub

I placed 2 bushes of greenery inside the "mountain".....

I like the back drop it creates for the bench.....

Almost looks like a tree trunk....

The vintage plate was gifted to my Mother when she was a child by a beloved Aunt....

The embroidered dresser scarf with the tatted edging that I used on the mantel was made by my maternal Grandmother.....

In keeping with the Fairy Garden theme, I also decorated the "hearth" area of the fireplace....

A Fairy ornament....

A Seed Packet ornament....

Dragon fly battery operated lights from Dollar Tree...

A Fairy House, a Fairy and a toad stool on top of the lantern......

2 Thomas Kinkade pots filled with greenery on each side of the lantern.....

Garden plaques from Dollar Tree

And Teddy Bear Tea....

I hope you enjoyed seeing my indoor Fairy Garden on a mantel and how I decorated my faux fireplace for the Spring and Summer.....

It will stay this way until the Sitting Room gets decorated for Christmas in October.....

I will be sharing more of this room decorated in a Garden theme in future posts....

Not sure what I will be posting about on Wednesday but I hope you will stop by to visit then to see what I have been up to!!

Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
