~SOMETHING SPECIAL~


The name of this blog is balisha-never enough time. The reason I have chosen to show case this blog is because she has something so special to contribute. Her blog is one of those ...quiet, unassuming ones..one that sort of sneaks up and endears itself to you.

Balisha is wonderful at adding a bit of historical facts on many of her subjects. Gardening being her speciality! (wait...almost forgot that amazing apple pie she baked recently!!)

The deeper you dig into this blog..If gardening interests you, and it does most of us..the more fun it is.
Or if you have questions about plants, I bet Balisha can help you..just ask her. She is a no nonsense person..but SO accommadating to folks.
You will grow to love this woman. Visit her and find out for yourself.


Allison at A LITTLE SHABBY ALWAYS CHIC has been sweet enough to bestow the ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE AWARD upon me. This is a young woman who already knows how to make a house a HOME. When you visit her you will see that at her tender age..she is well on her way! SHE IS AMAZING!
Thanks you so much Allison! You always make me smile!


I would like to pass this ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE AWARD on to Lucy at ENGLISH COTTAGE IN GEORGIA. She is a lady that has her plate full and has the most amazing attitude! Always warm, always caring and goes that extra mile to show you she cares!
She deserves this award so much! Thanks Lucy, for being you!

Ok..I'm almost done. By now you can probably tell by the hours that I can't sleep..so, you poor sweet things, you are subjected to some extra's. I found this little shelf at a garage sale for a dollar I think, bought a pot and filled it with flowers and attached it to the wall under our bedroom window. This little home needs all the help it can get...and I think it helped. I really do!

Just wanted you to see.

Ok..I am finished sharing. ~smile~ If you stuck with me this long...thanks SO MUCH! I appreciate you!!

Love and hugs,
Mona

  12. Hi Mona...I am playing catch up today. Somedays, it is so hard to get to all these blogs..I apologize! Your blog is so lovely and I went and checked out your friend's blog you mentioned too and I love her! What a neat lady. Speaking of ladies, I went back a day or so and looked at the feast that was set up at your daughters house. Martha Stewart would be jealous! Is your daughter a designer of some sorts? I have never seen such a beautiful arrangement of dishes and food and tablecloths and decorations! I could look at that all day long! Fabulous! I laughed at some of your items ending up at her house!:) That leads me to believe you are a great mom and are very loved. Bravo on your grandson taking over that film as well. What an accomplishment. You have some wonderfully talented children and that is only two out of 7? that I have seen!

  14. Mona, Thank you so much for the award. If I can finally figure out how to download it, I will place it on my blog.
    Have you noticed I only post pics I have taken? I am so techno slow, I cannot figure out how to download URLs.
    Congrats on your award! You are amassing many :-)
