Our delightful Saturday




Good day my friends!
I hope your weekend has started out beautifully
:)

Mine sure has!



It's one of those rare treasures
when I have a Saturday off,
so hubby woke me up this morning before 7.00 a.m.
to ask if I wanted to come garage-sale-ing
with him.
Yep...and I was out of bed and into the shower
pretty quick,
while he walked all 4 dogs separately
down by the meadow.

Bella came with us..
she loves the outings
and since she'll be busy for the next two months
tending to her new pups,
we thought she'd love the outing! Lol
Shes due in 6 days!!






She went with us to a few garage sales and then back she came to rest..
and off we went to pick up our sweetie!





There he is!!!
He's our sons' fiances' little boy
and in my eyes hes already my grandson!
Hes as cute as a button and a smart as a whip
:) 





He's never been to a garage sale before today,
so he didnt realize that there are toys
at garage sales.
And hubby bought him some treasures
at a few different places..
I think he has a love for garage sale-ing now.
Lol





He knew exactly what he wanted
when we asked him what he'd like for lunch
"A bagel like my mom gets
and with cream cheese
in a little dish"
Lol





We nearly laughed ourselves silly all morning and afternoon with him.
We asked him to let us know when he had to go pee,
and when we reminded him,
he said,
"Its only at my  forehead  now"
and then as more time had passed we said
"ok where is the pee now?"
He said,
"its in my  pants  so you'd better hurry up"!
Lol
Oh we laughed!





He went on a little train ride..
all by himself.
He's such a big boy!





He went on two carousel rides
and loved it...
ummm so did I!!
:)





His first ride was a deer
:)





the 2nd ride was on  a horse...





I became a little child again today.
I played,
 I giggled
 and then roared with laughter
with my little buddy.
He had my hubby
laughing too!





My hubby so kindly took pictures
while we were on the carousel,
and then after we finished
he was waiting for us
with ice-cream bars!!
Creamsicles!!!





What a wonderful day!
Garage sale-ing with my hubby and Brandon,
Two carousel rides and a train ride,
lunch together,
and ice-cream!
And the sweetest company of our precious grandson!
My heart is overflowing with love and joy
for this gift to us...
We love you Brandon xo





With much love,
Deborah xoxo

Cleaning Day and Mrs. Meyer :)



Allow me to introduce you to
Mrs. Meyers!!
:)

She is so lovely & fragrant
and such a delight in the kitchen.




She does such a nice job cleaning,
and leaves the freshest scent after shes done  :)






I'm so glad that I purchased the hand soap in the pump also!
I LOVE using it at my sink to wash up my hands
before preparing food..
it smells so lemony and fresh.
I must confess, I'm a huge fan of anything citrus..
especially for body washes
and my all-time fave perfume,
Happy by Clinique
:)





I love the lavender scented one as well...
so fresh and natural...
Let me tell you how I heard about her and then found her,
while not even looking for her.
:)


I first heard about the lovely Mrs. Meyer
from this beautiful lady.
Many of you will recognize her...




Introducing Lissa
from
Keep it simple, keep it fresh

Lissa is a sweetheart..
she's a lover of God,
devoted wife and mother,
an encourager,
a great home-maker,
and a gift to her blogging friends
(myself included :)





Her home is immaculately fresh and clean,
and
I get motivated just visiting her
at


Lissa uses Mrs. Meyers
and she made her sound so wonderful!
If you've never met Lissa,
go and visit,
and follow her in friendship...
I'm so glad I did..
she is refreshingly honest and sincere
and a sweet friend xo





I had been wanting to buy some but didn't see any where I live,
but while on our holidays down south,
I saw Mrs. Meyers
at a quaint little kitchen shop
and it was love at first sight!
Who knows when I'd ever see her again!
So I whisked her up and took her back home with me!





Mrs. Meyers
you're such a sweet friend
and you make cleaning
sweeter!
So I thank Lissa for introducing her to me!

Don't forget to go and visit



Have a fragrant day my lovelies!
xoxo
Deborah
