Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Tea Cup Tuesday: Bright Color and M.E.

On this day, before the snow hits around here, I wanted to post something cheery and bright. I love my M.E. things, most are gifts from my girls, my friend Patty and my sister Julie. All the way around, when I look at these pretties, they bring me joy. I hope they do the same for you too. Oh, the vintage suitcase was Cary's grandfather's.

In Sepia

In Black and White

In Soft Focus

I participated in Lady Katherine's Tea Time Tuesday, and Marty's A Stroll through life with this post, thank you ladies! I also visited many of the other nice blog ladies who linked up there today. You will not be disappointed if you do the same, I just know it!

Thanks so much, my blend.

Thank you so much for your comment. Well, then you know what I am talking about, living here in Central Oregon. You might enjoy looking at my slide shows ... lots of pics of Bend Festivals and our surrounding area.
