I Remember these...

SO, I guess by admitting that I remember these... I am giving away my age...

Or,,, I could fib and say that I remember seeing these in history books... lol!
The RCA dog and phonograph... a true iconic symbol in Americana vintage signs.
Hubby and I were driving through the little town of Mohave, and stopped at the local Carl's Jr...that's when I spotted this sign, across the street.  Personally, I think it is Kool!
So, am I the only one who remembers these? 

Lookie Lookie...

Oh my,,, what a wonderful find... went up to town to the Post Office to pick up our mail and found a package in amongst all the rest of the mail... and look what was inside the package...

 Mini, wool Penny Rugs...   I love the Rooster...and it was stitched together from some of the wool fabric that I gave to Andrea,, my dear sweet (former) Spokane, Washington neighbor.

And,,, she also made this cute chicken/egg one as well.

Andrea loves to stitch up penny rugs... and I love finding old wool garments to tear apart and wash. and use for penny rugs and other wool felt craft projects. So between the two of us.. no scrap piece of wool felt goes un-used! 
Thank you so very much my dear friend.... 'Andrea, the Queen of Penny Rugs!"....

Look Who We Spotted.... Mr Easter Bunny...

Look who we spotted... The Easter Bunny...
OK, so maybe not the Easter Bunny... but on Easter Sunday we did spot a rabbit....

 or maybe 'Little Bunny FooFoo....

 Lake Hensley is severally down due to the 3 year draught....

 This memorial is in memoriam of John Savage who settled in the Yosemite area in 1951.

 Gary and I enjoying the view...

Love hanging out with my special fella... 

First "Selfie"...

Ok, not sure what all the hoopla is about selfies... but I figured since this was my last day of being "In My Fifties"... I would take a "selfie",,, notice I didn't take a "selfie" of me turning the Big 6-0...? lol!

I don't know where all the years went,,, but I am so grateful to have shared them with my High School sweet heart...
For my birthday, which fell on Easter Sunday this year, we went to Lake Hennsley, for a nice afternoon stroll, (after all, I am a Senior Citizen now! lol!)... perfect sunny day, handsome guy at my side and a bag full of Pretzles...what more could I ask for... a gentle easing into my 60's...
Now to start cashing in on all those Senior Discounts... Bring 'em on!  lol! 

Happy Easter to all my Peeps!

Been a bit busy these past few weeks,,, Glamping, Hosting a Bridal Shower, being a Brides Maid in a Wedding,, plus I'll be celebrating my b-day on Easter... as both are on 4/20 this year!

 Can you smell them?   and below is my temporary 'flower bed'.. LOL!

I Love Spring and it truly has sprung up here in the mountains... and the profusion of Lilacs... omg...  their scent wafting on the gentle breeze has me giddy with delight! I LOVE the smell... I cut a bunch and put them in a bowl of water, on the kitchen counter... every time I walk into the kitchen,,, it makes me smile... Spring has sprung!
Well, I'd love to stay and chat... but I need to go outside and play! 
Happy Easter....
