Grocery Day

Some of you might have seen these photos already as I posted it in my Etcetera blog last year. These were taken at the Commissary inside the base in Korea. I miss shopping there because all the produce are really cheap compared to the stores in here. Hubby and I can buy a pack of pork ribs for just a couple of dollars but over hear, you will shell out 8 dollars to buy a decent one.

But anyhow, since I don't have any pictures of us in the grocery store over here, I decided to use these photos for the them at Mommy Moment this week.

Sometimes people would look at me like I am sort of weirdo or something when I am taking photos but what the heck, I don't care because I really want our kids to remmeber everything that we do together as a family.

Coke Refinery

These were taken a couple of weeks ago when we visited our niece in Follansbee. There is a Coke Refinery on the way so I took some shots. The kids love the flames that is coming out from the torch (not sure if that's what you call it).
It's hard to take pictures when the vehicle is moving so photos here were not as great as I wanted it to.
Happy Sky watching everyone.

Plates with Wrought Iron Caddy

A very good and thoughtful friend sent me this beautiful beautiful set of eight 6" plates with with wrought iron caddy that she bought from CSN stores, thank you so much sis Dhemz! I know that you don't have to really give me something because it was your prize but you included me in your winning anyways.

I so love this because every time I am teaching my daughter with our one-on-one lessons in the dining room area, I always see this pretty set in our China Cabinet. Aren't they lovely?

My husband said that I should look for some saucers and plates to match this set so I browsed through CSN's robust selection and found this Mikasa Indigo Bloom Rectangular Platter which is also available in oval shape. These would be perfect to match them.

Precious Gifts

We would like to thank the Cole family from Pennsylvania for sending us a box of goodies last week. Thank you so much Mel for being such a thoughtful and nice friend, may God bless you more for that! Blogging have brought me so much great experiences especially in meeting good people.

Mel sent a Holly Royalton Collection with a certificate of authenticity. Holly's head hands and feet are fashioned of fine hand - painted bisque porcelain. Her costume has been hand-tailored using the finest fabrics and trims.
Do you see how happy she is in the picture? Thanks Mel for the gorgeous sterling-swarovski earring you sent me. You made my two sweet tooth men happy with the box of chocolate - my husband's favorite brand too. Most especially, our little man was so happy that he has something in the box, he is a fan of light bug years characters. He love those cute pencils and the stickers and magnet stickers made the two really busy hahaha.


So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you very much Mel. I hope that in due time, we will meet your family in person sistah.

Golden Beauty

I saved so many seeds of this flower a couple of years ago and this year, I spread them out in my flower bed. I have so many of them in here. I don't exactly know the name of this flower though. Do you know?
