Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they some times will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit -
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Etsy Treasury

Jody from Shabby N Chic chose one of my Button Rings 


to include in her latest Etsy Treasury, Cute as a Button.


Thanks Jody!!

Bridal Fair and Show

Melissa and I were finally able to attend a Bridal Fair with Tanya, her Mom, Arthur (her brother) and Tracy.
They have been to several...with more to come.

This beautiful carraige was in front of the venue.
So pretty! 


There were lots of vendors with lots of samples...yummy!
And lots of drawings!

Then there was the Fashion Show.
The Models were beautiful, of course, and the dresses amazing!
I won't bore you with alot of photos, just a few :)

There were Bridesmaid Dresses....




Flower Girls Dresses...
caught her as she was twirling ;)


then of course,
Wedding Dresses!



The models were dancing so it was difficult
to get a shot that wasn't blurry....
that's my story and I'm sticking to it!


Lots of the dresses had lacing up the back



The finale



They each threw white Roses into the crowds


One landed next to Arthur and he gave it his sister....awwww



The blonde all the way to the left (clapping) is running for Miss California...
darn, can't rememeber her name.



It was fun.
Boy, is there way more things to do now with so many decisions to make...
was so much easier when I got married.
Of course, that was back in the caveman days :o

It's time to flaunt your flowers over at Tootsie Time!


Starting off with Balloon Flower today.
Love the deep bluish purple color.


A sea of Garlic Chive Blooms


Pretty Rose bud


Reliable Calendula


Apples are almost ready!


Not sure what this is.
I think it probably came from Mom's Garden.
Big strappy leaved bulb with pretty pink Blooms.
