Also, I adore your blog.

Have a great week and yes, you will be missed! Thanks for your visits as always :)
Blessings to you!
Amen!!
Enjoy your week and take care! You'll be missed! :-)
I love this picture, there are so many but this one is my favorite this year! Thank you to your husband for the service he gave in Viet Nam. Mine did not go as his number was 309. I can still remember sitting by the radio listening as then read off the number for each birthday.
I hope your week goes well. We have been up against the same thing trying to get our yard in order for Jim's retirement party in a few weeks.
I read your post on beauty about three times. I loved it and kept trying to get a comment in but kept getting interrupted. I could not agree more and I loved the Dove video. That should be required viewing for all girls even before they get to mutual. Thanks for all your kind comments Julie and you more than deserve a week off! I hope the shower goes well. I am sure it will!
Hugs, B
GIve your sweet hub a big HUG for serving our country!

Great tribute Julie. Have a great weekend.
Hey Girl, It sounds like you are back to your old self and feeling fine, planning activities. I know what you mean there is always so much to do before a party. I was like a crazy woman last week...which I am sure you won't be, but I was trying to get a surprise party ready for my baby's graduation and other b'days. Wow that is cool that your hubby was a marine. I am so grateful for all of those that served and are now serving in our military! Here's hoping you have an easy and fun week!
Have a great time this week!
Yes, I will miss your posting and thank you for this patriotic post. I feel the same way. Thanks for your comment over at Snickerdoodles. If you're ever in my AZ let me know and I'll take you thrifting.
Oh dear Julie,
A BABY shower!!!
What a busy time you have ahead...fun, but busy. I shall pray daily, for your continued strength... be sure to sneak a nap when you can...and take lots of pics :) ...love Rosie
Give you hubby a salute from me! :)

Hello, sweet friend,
Thank you for the beautiful post, and thank you to your dear husband for serving our country so faithfully. I am sorry our Vietnam veterans did not get the welcome home they deserved. Perhaps in some small way, we can make it up to them by expressing our gratitude now. Enjoy your Memorial Day holiday~ Love and blessings~ Vicki
I love Patriotic holidays.
Good luck with all your busy projects! :)
Hi Julie,
I enjoyed reading your post and thoughts of our great servicemen both past and present. I come from a long line of military and am so proud to have been born into an Army family and married to an Army officer.
I look forward to your posts.:)
Fondly,
Ann

My new husband is a Vietnam Vet too...it is a hard road to walk...I am so glad we as a nation treat our servicemen better even if we dont agree with the politics......
Hello! That is a good kind of busy...baby showers are such fun. Baby shower game idea... Give each person a piece of bubble gum, chew, chew, chew, then take out of mouth and form a baby and let the mother to be judge who's is the best. We do this at every family baby shower. Lots of laughs. have a great week.
