Hello my friends!!!
*
Welcome to the 103rd run of "Sunday Favorites"
*
Happy Memorial Day!!!
*
Happy Memorial Day!!!
*
I hope that you're having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! I am so thankful for our great country! I am also very thankful for all the brave service men and women who serve and fight for this great country and for our freedom..for those who are presently serving...and for all who have served in times past! My oldest grandson Antonio Jr. is presently serving in the United States Air Force. I'm so very proud of him! Thank you, dear Grandson and God Bless America!!!
*
Well my friends...I have been a busy little bee! My step-son and daughter have been here visiting. They are moving out of state very soon and this will probably be the last time that we will get to have them for this summer. I haven't really spent much time at the computer...we have just been enjoying the kids!
*
and...
*
Next week, my dearest friend Gloria (from Happy To Be blog) and her husband Len...will be flying out to see us! I'm soooo excited! Gloria and I first met at HGTV's Rate My Space...that was three years ago. Last April...Gloria, Len, Russ and I met up in Las Vegas for the "13th Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly weekend". We had a great time and I felt so very blessed to be able to meet my dear friend...in person! Gloria and Len will be spending an entire week with us. There are a few car shows (for the guys) on the agenda and a possible trip to up to the mountains. Gloria and I are just looking forward to being able to visit!
*
Soooo...my dear friends, as you can see, I have been...and will be...very, very busy! In fact, I haven't even had the chance to visit everyone from the last Sunday Favorites party. I am sooo sorry! I decided to go forth with the Sunday Favorites party this week but
*
I am going to cancel the Sunday Favorites party for June 5th.
*
In the meantime, I hope that you will enjoy the post that I am revisiting for this week's Sunday Favorites party. I'm not sure if I will be able to get around to all of the fabulous posts that you will be sharing for the party this week or not. If not...please forgive me and know that it's because I am just crazy-busy!
*
Take care, dear friends and I will see you soon!

Just a little note: Sunday Favorites Criteria
*
*
When I first started the Sunday Favorites meme, my initial thought was to offer a solution for getting a post out on the weekend without having to spend alot of time doing so...weekends are just a busy time for most of us! Copying and pasting a previous post is so quick and easy. Not only is this a quick and easy solution to the busy weekends, but it's also an opportunity to dig back into our blog archives and share a favorite "past" post once again! Many of us spend alot of time and effort creating a post and it just seems a shame that it is viewed only once and then forgotten about!
*
*
I would like to reiterate that Sunday Favorites is a meme about sharing or revisiting a post from the PAST!
*
*
Thank you!!!

The Calla Lily & The Stained Glass Window
*
Ahhh...my calla lily is blooming! In fact, I thought I better catch a photo before the bloom sees its better days. This little plant has three blooms on it right now, sorry...you can only see two in the photo!
As pretty as the calla lily is....this isn't my "2nd Time Around" treasure! Just look at the beautiful...colorful...background behind the calla lily! This is what I really wanted to share with you today!
*
The Stained Glass Window
*
This beautiful stained glass window was made by my husband's mother, Mary Alice, who has gone on to be with the Lord. Mary Alice was such a creative and talented lady! She enjoyed so many different arts & crafts. Mary decided to take a stained glass class...and during the last few years of her life she made many, many beautiful pieces of stained glass! She became so good at her craft that a few gift shops sold some of her pieces!
*
I just love the bright orange and green parrots!!! It's such a colorful piece!!! I decided to put this in the window of our office! It's simply magnificent to see the bright colors dance around the room as the sunlight shines through the window!!! I feel so blessed to have one of my mother-in-law's works of art! It is a "2nd Time Around" treasure that I absolutely cherish!!!
