My Favorite Things…

The Tablescaper is having a Blogaversary Meme, June 2.  Where do you keep it all??…Hop over to her blog to see the details!

Every year I wait for the trees in my backyard to bloom..

Not so exciting, but I just love the color..

table 3945

When we built this house 10 years ago, there was nothing.. So I really enjoy seeing the four of them blossom.

I didn’t want you to come here just to see my tree..

So another favorite is shrimp in a creamy wine sauce over angel hair with snow peas..Love it!

And the food matches the setting..LOL..pure coincidence!

 

Please stop over at Bargain Hunting with Laurie to see more favorite things posts.

Hope you are having a good weekend..

Thanks for all the anniversary wishes..:)

I couldn’t find a card that fit..I will have to write my own…

  2. Kathleen:

    Thank you so much for mentioning my meme. I'm actually getting excited about it. I think it will be neat to see where everyone stashes (excuse me, I mean stores) everything.

    I love how your food matches the tablescape! LOL! Where did you get those napkins? It first I thought they were the ones that we got at WS, but they're not.


    Happy Anniversary.I think a handmade card is better anyway.

    Thanks again for posting my party.

  4. I think that has to be one of the pretties tree I've seen. We have ones around here that bloom purple flowers but they shed like crazy and get sort of slippery on the sidewalks. But they are very pretty too.

    I think you must have been a child bride beause there is no way you are old enough to have been married that long. I wish you both many many more years together.

    Hugs.

  9. That tree is amazing! I can see why you would want to just sit and gaze at it. But thanks for fixing the shrimp and angel hair pasta. Yum! It looks as pretty as I know it is delicious. Hope you are having a wonderful anniversary weekend. ~ Sarah

    The shrimp dish is one I could seriously get into! Adding the snow peas is a perfect touch!

  22. Morning Kathleen,
    Now could that be a crepe Myrtle tree or what type of tree is it??
    Whatever it is it is gorgeous, I would be loving looking at it too!!
    Also your shrimp dish looks scrumptious to say the least, and it matches well with your table decor too. Please share that recipe, it sounds and looks delightful.
    Blessings, Nellie

  26. Kathleen: Your post is beautifully delicious! It has my favorite colors--colors that I associate with spring.

    By the way, I've just left for "Mitford". Come join me.

    Best,
    Bonnie

  27. What a beautiful tree! And I know the feeling. I have a "fruitless" plum that I wait impatiently to bloom every spring. (I'd rather have a "fruiting" plum so I could have the best of blooms AND fruit, but it was here before I got here.)

    Happy anniversary!

  28. Kathleen, you've captured the beauty of those blossoming trees perfectly! So very pretty! Dinner looks delish! I love snowpeas with anything!
    Thanks for telling us about the "Where Do you Store it All?" party. That should be fun to see!
