Back in San Diego – long flight, long day, but I’m back safe and sound.

Being away from my family and community for so long is hard. That is an understatement. But getting the chance to go back and spend some time there sure puts things in perspective. I really have a sense of gratitude for my blessings:

~ my husband who is the love of my life – always supportive, always loving, my best friend and companion.

~ my dogs – their sweet faces warm my heart – their love is constant, their ability to live in the moment is something I am jealous of.

~ my cottage – I love it so – I waited a long, long time to have my own house and there is not a day that goes by that I am not profoundly grateful for it.

~ my family – they ground me – they love me with no reservations as I do them.

~ my friends both near and far – whether we are in touch once a year or every day.

~ the opportunity to work here in San Diego – using my skills to help others and doing what I do best.

~ all the possibilities, dreams and goodness in the universe.

~ my blog and all the wonderful friends I have made this last year – I treasure you.

This Pink Saturday finds me back home at Mockingbird Hill Cottage for a little visit. It is going by too quickly, but I am having a great time with my husband and my dogs!

My lovely tole container is pink with hand-painted flowers. I got it on Ebay and I use it in my bathroom to hold rolls of toilet paper!

Now, come with me on a little trip to my favorite store here in the Hudson Valley! Lets see what pink things we find…

This little doll is adorable in pink! I was with the owner when we discovered her in a shop and I consider her mine…even though she is not in residence at my house yet.

Good to be home with family and friends, human and furry!

Speaking of furry friends, here is Scout with her pink a little-worse-for-the-wear leash. When we get ready to take her for a walk, she likes to carry it in her mouth on the way to the front door.

Please stop by How Sweet the Sound, Beverly’s blog to find a list of all participants! Beverly coordinates this extravaganza even while caring for her Mother after a terrible shoulder injury.

When I was a little girl, my Mom dressed me in pink a lot. She called me her ‘pink bunny.’ I love that memory, so the first pink treasure is this little pink bunny I found while out shopping. The little pink bunny needs some pink eggs, of course.

These little vintage treasures were all found in a little bag I purchased. I knew the thread was there, but was delighted to find the little drawstring bag crocheted in a lovely pink.

I will be flying all day Saturday, so I will do my best to visit all your blogs over the next few days. I’m off for a visit home. Time to see my husband, dogs, my cottage, and my garden!
