Random 5 Friday

It is almost easter - the excitement is mounting - the eggs are being prepared for coloring - the decorations are all in place - soon there will be children scampering about hunting for that one last egg and everyone will be chomping on chocolate bunnies - spring is here and the sun will be shining.

It is Friday - time for Five Random Things.  When I start this post each week I think it will be hard to come up with five things - but then it is always easy - I guess I'm very random.  The photos are of my easter/spring decorations.

The centerpiece on my table - the house is a basket (see the handle on the top) and it is made of plastic canvas - I just love doing plastic canvas crafts, but don't have many. Don't you love the daffodil trees for the bunny house?

1.  Don and I have been married for 49 years this September.  That means that including the year we dated - we've had 50 Valentine's Day, 50 Christmases, 50 Easters, 50 summers, winters, autumns and springs together.  Those are warm fuzzy thoughts to keep you warm on cold winter nights.

Some of the little bunny figurines that visit the easter house

2. I am not all that fond of cooking - but I'm an excellent cook anyway.  I like to make huge crock pots full of food and then freeze it in individual servings for reheating later - my freezer is very full of meals, which means I don't have to cook all that often.  I don't think I've ever cooked a meal for just two people - I always cook to serve at least 10 or more - into the freezer.

More figurines - most are only about 1 1/2" tall

3. I once had curly hair - loved it - rumple  it up a bit in the morning and I was ready to go.  Then I had surgery and my hair went straight - and then several years later, another surgery and now it is partly curly, partly straight.  I'm willing to stay at this place - no more surgeries please.

Some of my birthday chocolates with flowers and bunnies (the bunnies ate all the chocolates, so I have none left)

4. I love to read non-fiction - my favorite thing is a book that is made from a personal journal - stories that show what life was like for real people.

Easter eggs made with tiny fabric YoYos, sequins and beads

5. I love wind chimes - little tinkley ones - huge bonging ones - middle in between ones.  I have one made from large bamboo pieces and another that has a large metal heron that holds the chimes.  I like to hang them in the little grove of trees in our yard, and one tiny one on the back of my rocking chair in the living room.

And there you have it - my five things for this week.  I hope your weekend is as fabulous as can be.  "Hoppy" Easter.

And  pretty flowers - just because it is spring!!
