A Bit of Nostalgia and a Birthday Wish

Today is my son Geoff's 24th birthday. I don't know why I always want to go back and look at baby pictures, maybe it's to remind me the kids really were that small!

I must say I miss - at times -  being the 'snack queen, the entertainment guide and referee'. Children and puppies, what could be better? Like most younger siblings, pictures without the others' are almost non existent.

By God's grace and mercy over the times I failed miserably at being 'mom', he has grown to be a fine young man. A kind, considerate and patient man whose precious girlfriend Mary is a jewel of a young woman.

Happy Birthday Geoff...we love you!

Foodie Friday

Baby it's cold outside and what is better than coming inside for some good soup?

This White Chicken Chili is just the right thing to warm you up.

Right along side how about a 

cranberry pecan chicken salad sandwich?

So yummy. 

Pretzel cookies with chocolate and peanut butter chips.  Yummo!

Do you have a place to hang a jar of flowers?

Simple, easy and fun!

A Sneak Peak

Home painting and LR reno update.

The dust has been flying and the paint cans popped around Casa de Moore.

If you live in the Atlanta area, 

Friendly Monster Painting Co.is THE best. The attention to detail is superb, not to mention how they clean up.  Impressive.

They skeered me half to death by extending a ladder up two stories to get to the 'trays'. 

I am very happy with the paint choice, 

SW 7647 Crushed Ice. 

Did YOU notice a change in color?  Mr. MD didn't!

He had to ask....too funny.

My grandma "Punkin's" sofa back from the upholsterer, she was the envy in the shop. (Chong's Upholstery, Marietta.)  See here for before.  Will add color in a bolster and some other pillows.

Table skirt finished and chairs upholstered too. Found  the aubergine patterned fabric to make lumbars and bring in contrast to the gray and yellow.

Slate window treatments...coming.

On the hunt for an outstanding piece of contemporary art for over the sofa.  Love abstracts and mixed media.

Hopefully it won't be too long to pull all of this together.  Good things take time...patience is NOT one of my virtues!
