Make it Pretty Monday – Week 87

by 60 Comments

Hello World!  Just an FYI, I may not have any posts other than the parties to share this week.  My Uncle, who has leukemia is not doing well and is not expected to make it through the week.  So, me and my sister will be driving our Mom up to Northwest Arkansas for the funeral some time this week.  Mr. Dedicated will be taking care of Little Dedicated while I’m out of town.  My Uncle is such a lovely man and will be greatly missed.  But, we will see him again!  I just wanted to give you lovelies a heads up.   All parties will go on as scheduled, hopefully on time!

Okay, on a side note.  Did you happen to catch Renee Fleming singing The National Anthem at The Superbowl?  Finally, someone who can actually sing that song!  Gorgeous and classy!  

Let’s check out the features and get the party started.  
Welcome to Week 87 of:

    Thank you Kathryn, I am so sorry about your uncle, it is wonderful that you can be there to help~We were all totally blown away by the Natl Anthem singer, and wondered who she was, thank you. So refreshing to have a truly talented singer and not some popular rock star!

    Thank you so much, Kathryn, for featuring my post from last week! I'm very happy that my little post about gratitude might reach a few more people. I do not think I'll have anything to post at your delightful party this week, but I'm never out of the "party-scene" for very long — I'LL BE BACK!
