Quiet thang!

Y'all may remember our baseball card display at the condo.  Today, Larry made another wall, in his den/office, from all of his military patches, the colorful ones anyway.  I think it looks great!

The flag in the middle that says "Quyet Thang 1971" is a Viet Cong battle flag and "quyet thang" means "resolve to win".  We're not sure how to pronounce it so we just say "quiet thang!" :)

I see a couple of familiar ones up there!

House of cards

Larry and I spent about eight hours today working on our foyer wall.  We put 857 of our sports cards on it and it turned out great!!  Larry has thousands of cards, most of them are autographed, but he picked out ones that meant something to him, Atlanta teams, the Indianapolis Colts and pretty much anybody Georgia- or Indiana-related.  There's even a Jeff Gordon card up there somewhere.  I think it looks amazing.  I love it.

It was indeed a labor of love.  Except for having some soup for lunch, a quick trip to Target for some more double-sided tape and having supper, we worked on this wall all afternoon and most of the night!

Speaking of the vegetable soup we had for lunch, we also had some of our Sunday On Monday Cake.  Triple chocolate fudge with fudge icing.  It's so rich I told Larry we were going to get it to pay our bills next month.  :)

C'mon get hoppy

 
I pulled out some of my Easter decorations today.  Now that's not nearly the event that pulling out my Christmas stuff is but I do have a few favorite little things that I like to get out every year.  Last year, I didn't do the eggs on my fence because I was still mad about the MOON next door but I'm pretty much over that.  I try not to stay mad about anything long.  Besides, there's not a thing I can do about it anyway.  So, with a kind, understanding neighbor heart (ha!) and in the misting rain today, I hung my pink and green and yellow eggs on the fence and put my little metal bunny right in front.

I hung some tie-dyed eggs on one of the eucalyptus trees, too!  

See the prize egg??

 Here are just a few of the little cuties inside!

 Sweet little stuffed Peep that I found in my Easter basket a few years ago (yeah, and I might have a Beanie Baby or two)

And my cherished collection of beautiful eggs that 

Ami made for me over the course of several years
