{Semi} Wordless Wednesday - Retro Style

My mind is wandering today to a time far way...when things just looked simpler, more clear, less cluttered… happier?

{Semi} Wordless Wednesday: Spring Fever Edition

It has felt like Spring around here this week!  Of course, seeing the garden centers gearing up for Spring doesn't help that feeling either...not to mention the daffodils, Saucer Magnolias and forsythia that I have already seen blooming.  I am afraid I am about to come down with a bad case of Spring Fever and it is way to early for that!

My neighbors often release Chinese Sky Lanterns (also known as Wish Lanterns)

into the night sky and I love it! I think they are magical.

{Semi} Wordless Wednesday

This past week found me kind of busy and blogger hasn't liked me a whole lot, so I didn't do a Father's Day post!  Today, though, I am posting a photo of my Mother's Father, who died many years before I was born, as part of {Semi} Wordless Wednesday over at Flip Flops & Pearls. I just love this old photo, from the vintage recliner to the Coke calendar hanging on the wall.  Sometimes I think I was just born too late!

Look who stopped for a visit,

Isn't he handsome?

Coke was the real thing!
