~~~Afternoon Shadows~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Good Sunday afternoon! I hope everyone has had a great weekend. Joe and I got home from Fl. on Thurs. afternoon and I have been trying to get "back to normal" ever since You know the drill; unpacking, laundry, groceries, etc. I slipped out to Walmart earlier and when I got home noticed the beautiful shadows in the living room, so thought I would share some pics with you. I have missed blogging! While we were away, we were in "technology prison"!!!! No internet access, no TV, no radio. It was HARD. I wouldn't have even known that Whitney died if my sister hadn't called me. Anyway, back to pretty shadows. These are the pillows I currently have on the living room sectional. You all know I have a "pillow thing" and change them out alot.:):) The elephant you see on the left on the floor is one of 2 that my FIL brought back from Vietnam. I TREASURE them!!!!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbDDCEBLM82EBwuXi0O7YEz7z2Wx4SZcdcxvAGkqhq-x2dA46Gr9srpoRaPPjWj4PBC0zMgJSgObXWpTHWOWLP9a0h37Lruj5DZkU56RI-gqO_qzHVohLK8hqCcU-ClIWGifNNVk-se8Ya/s1600/IMG_0083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbDDCEBLM82EBwuXi0O7YEz7z2Wx4SZcdcxvAGkqhq-x2dA46Gr9srpoRaPPjWj4PBC0zMgJSgObXWpTHWOWLP9a0h37Lruj5DZkU56RI-gqO_qzHVohLK8hqCcU-ClIWGifNNVk-se8Ya/s640/IMG_0083.JPG" width="640" yda="true" /></a></div> These are in the center of the sofa.

~~~A few changes in the living room~~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have changed a few things in the living room to brighten it up for Summer!!!! I have a large collection of blue and white jars and containers so changed the coffee table to blue and white for summer. This is a faux water lily, so since this room looks out to the pond and the water lilies I thought it was apprpriate!
