Dear Tina Fey & Paul Rudd, you disappointed me with your latest movie, "Admissions." Wouldn't you think that with a cast starring Tina & Paul and Lily Tomlin it would be one belly-laugh after another...not so, hardly a giggle, at least from me anyway. Tina & Paul, what happened?? Better luck next time.
Dear Bunco Babes, you surprised me at my delightful "birthday dinner" on Monday night (I know the celebrations just continue, heh, I am not complaining). No gifts is the rule, just cards....but you were so generous in presenting me with a sweet gift certificate to a spa. And not just any spa, Coldwater Creek Spa. Now the question becomes, do I decorate my nails from top to bottom, or do I have a 'oh rub harder' massage, or a 'make me look younger' facial...oh decisions. Big thank you hugs your way, Babes.
Dear Barnes & Noble, thank you for being our place to gather when we have no Bible Study on a Wednesday morning. You provide us with a spot to sit, warmth to drink and sweets to nibble while we discuss important events like Dorothy Hamil leaving Dancing With the Stars.
Dear Sun, you really are there. I was beginning to wonder if you had decided to take an extended vacation, but you are back. Yesterday was sunny, today is sunny, tomorrow is predicted to be sunny.... it's a record.
Dear Kohl's, thank you for being fully stocked with new spring goodies. I spent way too much money, but I am going to be spiffy in my new duds when I go to Arizona next week.
Dear Trader Joe's, what can I say, ranunculus and blue hydrangeas all at the same time....be still my heart.
Dear Blogging Buds, have a blessed weekend and for those celebrating Easter, Happy Easter.
Linking to Mona & Nancy & "The Long Road to China"...
Until next time....
LOVE LOVE LOVE your photos!!!

ReplyDeleteyou made me smile .... read any good books lately? you always seem to know a good one. would love to listen. thanks.
Happy Easter!! ( :
love your flower beauties. and enjoy the trip to arizona! awesome!
ReplyDeleteranunculus, you have ranunculus! I am so jealous. (funny, but it is more appealing to me than even the prospect of a spa). These are fabulous florals and a delightful Easter wish. Hope you have a most enjoyable Easter weekend.
ReplyDelete...as for disappointment in actor combos - I am brought to mind of 'Spring Hopes' with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones. The clips looked so cute, the subject had so much potential but ultimately the movie was nothing short of depressing. My husband and I looked at each other afterwards and contemplated watching the Disney channel just to lift our spirits. Now that is sad!
Ranunculus! I've been looking for one for weeks now! No luck yet :(
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to have yours :) !!!
Thanks you SO much for linking up Deanna - means a lot for me!
Oh... gorgeous light!! And wonderful use of texture...
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of all the beautiful blooms you have :)
Beautiful flower photos!I'm glad the sun came out - I can't go very long without a little sunshine. Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteOh How Beautiful!

How I envy your Trader Joes! To get ranunculus I have to order through a florist!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you, Deanna.
I just LOVE your Friday letters, Deanna! And I'm glad to hear the sun still exists and shows up somewhere around the world... ;-) Wonderful photos - you are such a genius!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Easter weekend, too, Deanna!
Oh - I went shopping today too & spent too much money, but love it all anyways! I hope you have a wonderful time in Arizona next week, I'll be riding the train into Chicago on Wednesday or Thursday for a play day with my nieces.
ReplyDelete.......and a special little box went out in the mail today & should be there by Monday!
Easter joy & blessings to you dear lady!
Oh your photos are stunning! I love hydrangea. Soooo wonderful. :) Spring shopping is fun isn't it? I spent too much this week too, but i had a great time. I'll have to be more frugal next time i go..
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous. I knew I should have gone to Trader Joe's today! I shopped some today, too -- a nice new top from T.J. Maxx and a new Royal Albert teacup ... also a Maxx find. I shouldn't have done either. Ah, well. It's all the Easter Bunny's fault! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Enjoy Arizona. Happy Spring and Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos- enjoy your trip and Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous flower pics! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you, Deanna! Now I need to go to Trader Joe's. :-)
ReplyDeleteummmm.... Easter candy... what an adorable little bunny!
ReplyDeleteIs your trip to Arizona for a photography workshop?
Wonderful post Deanna, the flowers are beautiful! Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteYes, bestill my heart, can you send me some of those ranunculus?! I have been on a hunt for weeks, and to no avail I can't find them anywhere, sigh. I just may have to participate in the dear..... it's so great for random stuff! Have a wonderful and blessed Easter, and thank you so much for your prayers!! xo
ReplyDeleteI love those ranunculus and hydrangeas! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful and blessed Easter, Deanna!
That's sad that Lily Tomlin didn't save the movie. I wonder if the one with Bette Midler and Billy Crystal is funny....I might rent that one tonight when my granddaughters come stay with me while their parents go Easter shopping.
ReplyDeleteLove your "letters" format for Random Friday. Cute idea!
Stunning floral beauties. I am glad you warned me about Admissions.. Now I won't cry if I don't get to go see it.
ReplyDeleteLove, love that ranunculus! Love Claude Monet's quote too. He is one of my favorite painters.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Easter and a wonderful trip to Arizona.
Just beautiful Deanna! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your letters! And the photos are gorgeous! I hope you have a wonderful Easter and a safe and happy trip!
ReplyDeleteOh Happy Birthday a little late ! It sounds like it was a good one and I would love a gift to the spa too! That sounds wonderful. You deserve it. Love all the photos!!! They are beautiful and I especially love the ranunculus, Looks like I need to take a trip to Trader Joe's very soon. Love the sweet bunny too!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous florals, happy easter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. Trader Joe's has quite the selection. Can't wait until we get that store here. Louisiana is a little behind everyone else as usual. :/
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's that time of year already -- for your AZ trip! How exciting and what a great time to go weather-wise. The desert flowers should be blooming.
ReplyDeleteLove your flower choices -- and Happy Easter Deanna! xo
Holy Smokes! Love the Ranunculus... gorgeous! And that quote by Monet is perfect! Have a blessed Easter, my friend!
