A Beautiful Day for a Wedding!

April 29, 2011

What a wonderful day For the Duke and Duchess Of Cambridge!

Yes, I woke up at 3:50 am made a cup of tea, snuggled up on my lounge chair and watched with the world the most romantic wedding.   

Her dress is beautiful! Her flowers are perfect! 

Catherine is just stunning and the happy couple look utterly happy!

Did you watch the wedding this morning?

HAPPY EASTER!

Easter!  

I live very far from my family and I don't always get to see them on holidays, so I make the best of it! This was my weekend:

                  The weather was perfect! 

I planted pretty flowers all weekend and really tidied up the garden.  I spent the Easter afternoon over my friends Brian and Nichole's.  The food was great, wine was good and the company outstanding! 

                Love spending time with friends.  

I will be posting late tomorrow since I had such a wonderful time I am a bit tired and had a wee bit too much wine.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

What did you do for the holiday?

Let's find this little girl some marrow!!

On Sunday, I was reading my favorite blogs and Greet of Belgian Pearls posted about this sweet baby girl!

I love Greet, she has such a big heart and she inspired me to post this in hopes we can find this little one a match!  I am on the bone marrow registry and have been for awhile. It is easy peasy! Request a kit or hold a drive in your neighborhood or place of employment.  I did it at work for "Be The Match", took about 15 minutes, filled out a form and then they swabbed the inside of my mouth...{similar to how they do it on the show CSI when they are collecting DNA from people} basically, they are looking for tissue type matches.
Miabelle needs your help, please post this to your blog and let's see if we can find her a donor!!
