My Pride, Joy and Reviews

We just arrived San Antonio, Texas today. And so I would have a short hiatus. I would come to post a bit here but not much. I would like to spend my vacation not thinking much of blogging a lot. Happy sunny day!

                              If it is winter it's very hard to see blue sky every day. Last month we had a weekend road trip getaway, the air is chilly but the sky is blue and beautiful. I find many barns some are new some are old and here are two barns that need a lot of TLC!                                                       Linking to BLUE MONDAY and BARN CHARM

                                These houses are huge! It's facing Lake Huron, the Blue Bridge and Canada. It is situated above the road and for me it's very pretty! I so love to live there ( I am dreaming). Sad to say I forgot the name of this subdivision but for sure there is Thomas Edison mark on the subdivision gate. But I noticed the houses that are facing the Lake do not have fences except this one house. If I own a house there I surely do put a fence for security reason. ^_^ What about you? Do you like to put a fence too?                                                              I am linking to FRIDAY FENCES

Hubby and I were driving around and this particular barn has a very beautiful story to tell. My hubby told me that his paternal grandmother and grandfather meet here often when they are trashing grain (wheat or oats). I think the love blooms here while both are helping their parents in the fields. I love stories like this because how many people meet in a place were both are working hard. Frankly speaking many young or old now meet each other and claim they fall in love at the bar or  disco house or party what ever kind of parties it is. Comparing the two scenarios I like meeting my man while he is working hard I am working hard than meeting a man under the influence of who know what hehe. Oh by the way, I asked hubby just now, "are they riding the buggy before" hubby just laughed and he said " I imagine because that was in the 1900's" oh my it is really a buggy they are riding. ^_^ I again asked hubby "do you think this is the same barn or it's been f...

We were invited for a garden wedding last year and the park is beautiful. I took a lot of photos and there is the bridge that the town people adorned with flowers. A very gorgeous town!                                                              Linking to SUNDAY BRIDGES

Last February 20 my niece turn 10. Yes she is getting there lol! I have not seen them for 2 years and basing on the photos my brother showed me over FB she is getting big and so her brother and sister. I am so happy that she is already 10 years old. I am amazed of how beautiful the cake is. It's very colorful too. And by the way she has lechon or roasted pig lol! According to my brother the office mates of her mamay and papay are going there for lunch and in the afternoon all the kids on the block is going to celebrate with her too. Here are some of the photos. It is also our customed that when it is our birthday we are going to attend mass or if we can't we are going to a shrine and light a candle. That is what my nieces and nephew are doing here. As they lighted the candle they also offer a prayer for their sister who is celebrating her birthday that day.            What about you guys and gals do you have a custom on how to celebrate your...
