Paper Lanterns - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  This week I'm sharing my paper lanterns I have hanging on my apartment patio.  I don't have any lights out there and it gets really dark in the evening so I had to come up with a way to light it up without any electricity.  These have battery operated lights that you can turn on with a remote control.  The lights have different setting but I like the slow

Show and Tell Friday!




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  It's been another busy week...even more so than usual! I'm still in training to become a CASA (Court Appointed Child Advocate) and I have classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. In addition to that, this week I also had to sit in on a few hearings at court as part of the training and then we have an all-day training session this Saturday...in addition to

Summer dining in the past - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  As I mentioned last week, I'm in the middle of extensive training this month for a volunteer activity I'm getting involved in.  I have very little free time lately since I work full time so this week I'm just going to reshare some photos from the past. I hope you don't mind...

 




 

This was one of my favorite table settings!

Giving Back and becoming a CASA - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!

 

This week I will be sharing something a little different.  It isn't a material thing, it's something from my heart! I will apologize right now for this long post but this is my passion right now!

Happy 4th of July! - Show and Tell Friday


 



 

Happy 4th of July weekend and welcome to Show and Tell Friday!

I found these gorgeous hydrangeas at the grocery store.  There is nothing like fresh flowers to freshen up your home!  I miss having my little rose garden this year and having fresh roses in my home

The Tiny Apartment Kitchen - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 

 




 I've been in my "new" apartment since February. I can't believe how fast the time has flown by! I've been here almost 5 months already which means I'm halfway through my 10 month lease! My lease is 10 months but my rent can't go up until I've been here 12 months, and since I have to give 30 days notice before I move out I only have about 6 months

My Little Apartment Patio - Show and Tell Friday




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  My little patio is still a work in progress but I thought I would share some photos with you.   I don't get much sunlight here so my plants aren't doing as well as I would like.  The only sunlight I get is in the earlier evening which is when these photos were taken. (oops, I forgot to put the broom away before I took these photos!)

 

 



 

Here is the
