Summer Time

I've been surfing, can you picture that? 

I can't even fathom. 
Walking and building sand castles is more my speed.

Blogging withdrawal is setting in.

Will be back to blogging soon!

Summer Evening

Nothing like the summer sky...

I took my camera out last evening to catch the sun going down and I got the Moon!

I am so very fascinated with Sun and the Moon!

I love watching the sky, I marvel at the Moon and it's changes.

Features of the Moon

Perhaps the most prominent features of the Moon are its numerous craters. Its surface has been bombarded continually throughout its history. Since the Moon has no measurable atmosphere and no liquid water, there is no erosion taking place. This has preserved the many thousands of craters on its surface. Another prominent feature on the Moon are the smooth areas called maria. The maria are believed to have been formed by more recent lava flows which have covered over the older craters. There are also many mountain ranges and rift valleys on the Moon's surface. All of these features have combined to form a unique facial feature known as the "Man in the Moon" that can be seen if one knows what to look for. This feature is visible every night of the year because the Moon always keeps its same face towards the Earth. This is because its period of rotation and revolution are the same; 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes. This cycle is known as the lunar month as seen from Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth, it appears to change shape as more or less of its sunlit side is visible. When the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun, it appears as a full moon. When it is on the same side, it is invisible, also known as a new moon. Since it is so close to the Earth, the Moon's gravity pulls on our oceans and creates the tides.

I marvel at all of God's creations!

Have a great day, take a look up at the sky tonight...

It'll be glorious!

25th Wedding Anniversary Tablescape

I am ready for a celebration at Susan's at Between Naps on the Porch! Ccongratulations to you Susan for your 100th Tablescape!


Thinking...

Dinner for two came to mind since our 25th wedding anniversary is coming up very soon. The music room is where I decided that this tablescape would be! I was ready to start creating.

I started with some classic black placemats and napkins on our round glass coffee, thought that would be a great look along with my silk flowered napkin rings that I just love. I set the table with my favorite white and gold trimmed Eternal Facets Lenox china, our Waterford crystal water and wine goblets and our Gorham silverware. Added candles and wine and things are ready!

 I started to work on the table just as the sun was setting.

Love watching the sun set, it changes so quickly and the changes are awesome.

I wanted the table dancing with candlelight

 

I hope you have enjoyed my tablecape as much as I had getting in ready for the celebration..
Don't ask what's for dinner!

Anyhow, bon appetit!

Enjoy!

Style Radar!

Did you get your "Trend Report" in an email from Neiman Marcus this morning? (lol, my husband says, needless markup, shame on him.)

I did not intend this to be my post today, but decided to go with it, deemed appropriate due to the email this morning.

Okay, I enjoyed reading the report, I did. I love to read.

I am running out to shop for all of my Fall Wear today, aren't you? lol

GREEN MILITARY INFLUENCE (why, yes, have it all )

CAPES, PONCHOS AND VESTS (done deal)

FUR, LACE, FEATHERS (of course)

A WARDROBE OF BOOTS (no problem)

STRUCTURED HANDBAG AND PEARLS (why yes!)

Highlights:

With a closet of feminine, pretty pieces, you're ready to steal the leading role. (why, yes!)

Independent, trendsetting, free-spirited. For you, fashion is all about having fun. (always)

Always pulled together with a strong, well-edited fashion sense; a weakness for the new wave of American designers. (I can do this)

You know how to appreciate the creature comforts like soft silhouettes & luxurious fabrics. ( I know how to do this)

Inspired by ladylike, iconic styles of decades past, but unafraid to put your own modern twist on it. (yes, of course!)

With an eye on the runway, you want the newest trends. (not really)

You're willing to take a risk & always add your own interpretation. (without a doubt)

I can do all of this and I am ready! (as I sit here in my t-shirt, capri's and flip flops!)

I do like to read about fashion and trends.

Do I follow fashion trends?

Not unless it works for me, trendy things don't fit my body style. Imagine that. I still wear what may have been trendy years ago, that's trendy to me. I think (and who really knows!) that my style tends to be on the simple and classic side. I love gold, silver, turquoise and big bling, okay, I love "big" bling. I tend to dress in a classic style with a bit of the romantic side, at times I may add a touch of fun trendy to some casual.  I do enjoy the fun of putting outfits together, I love scarves and belts, and if you don't know, I have a passion for shoes and purses.

So there you have it, it's me!

(psst...by no means is this me on a daily basis! You'll find me in capri's and a classic white blouse most of the time during the daytime and wearing sandals. (you also could drop in and find me in my grubbies, old blue jean shirt, visor and flip flops...always with perfume on.)

So, what do you think about fashion and do you follow trends? 

What's your style? 

Do tell!

Have a blissful and of course, fashionable day!

Table For One...

 I am joining Marty at Table Top Tuesday @ A Stroll Thru Life, please join us!

  I decided that I would just set a simple little table for one, I mean simple...nothing flamboyant!  It's such a perfect little spot to eat alone and quietly take in a little beauty from the outdoors.

Maybe I'll sit down and just have a little light lunch~ maybe I'll turn on my player piano and listen to a something classical or maybe a little light jazz~ 

What do you think I should have for lunch? I love light, easy and simply~
