I Don't Know What They Are

I have a confession to make.  

I know nothing about plants, trees or flowers.  I can't identify many and I certainly don't know how to take care of them.  

All I know is that they are pretty.  

Does that make me shallow?

I hear you all talking shop out there about your plants and flowers and trees and I admire you so!

I know some...

I know a lilac bush when I see it and smell it.

It's my favorite.

I know sunflowers, roses, tulips and hydrangeas.  

I'm not sure what these are.  

We planted them a few years ago...  and they sure are pretty when they bloom.

  I love the different colors that the earth becomes this time of year.  Wildflowers are my 2nd favorite.  I love the variety.  

I even love the simple yellow dandelions.  Are they considered a weed?  If so...  I love the yellow weeds.

I hope everyone is enjoying Spring!  

Just me.. 'n Gracie

I Survived The Titanic

In 2007 Gary and I enjoyed a great vacation in Orlando, Florida.  One of the most memorable events was visiting Titanic, The Experience.



Upon entrance, we received a ticket and immediately we were whisked back in time ~ as our tickets showed the name of a person who boarded the Titanic on that fateful and tragic day.

As we exited, our tickets were checked to see if we had survived or went down with the Titanic.

"I MADE IT!"

 Gary and I went to see Titanic 3-D on Thursday.  It was so life-like.  So incredibly tragic.

100 years.  We are still intrigued by it all.  Still saddened.
