HAPPY MONDAY, HAPPY START OF A NEW WEEK & HAPPY EARLY BIRD BOOKS DAY!!! Ahhhh I love a good Monday morning after a weekend where I’ve completed a project or two, that I’ve been dying to get to. That feeling of knowing I put the most into my free time, and now I’m ready to face the world again. LOL!! And this was one of those
Three things:
1.) Okay so this weekend was another plant project for me. I bought this amazing plant stand, and it has grow lights on them! Er… well, lights but I think grow lights. 🙂 Either way, it looks so pretty and now I’m just needing to decide what I want to put in the bottom section. Don’t you just love it??? I put it adjacent to my wall of sliding glass doors so it gets amazing east sun too.
2.) And alllll that without actually buying any new plants for it (and trust me… I was tempted). These are all polants I already had (and two of them were salvaged from a plant arrangement and grew beautifully once I separated them. I’m a proud plant mama.
3.) My husband told me that my screen lanai area (where I pilfered my plants for this plant stand – it’s my personal plant jungle) does not look any less plantacious. 😂 He couldn’t even tell that I took plants out of it. Next weekend, I’m rearranging my book case to match the cool top part/mini book case, of my bookcase. 😉
And here’s a sweet front shot of it!! 😊

OLDER WOMAN/YOUNGER MAN ALERT!!
The Rules of Dating a Younger Man
JUST WENT LIVE!!! AGE GAP OLDER WOMAN/YOUNGER MAN ALERT!!
“...Our chemistry was off the charts, and I fell hard pretty fast. Unfortunately, Alex insisted I was too young for her. I hated that she felt that way. Because age was just a number. Not only that, her words didn’t match the way she looked at me—like she was very interested.
I lived for the weekends we’d spend out of town volunteering. Alex and I side-by-side hammering during the day, while sharing intimate dinners together at the hotel at night. Eventually, the walls she’d put up to protect her heart began to crumble.
Until fate threw us a doozy that I wasn’t sure we could come back from. If I’d thought our age gap was the biggest hurdle, I didn’t know anything yet…“
Lisa M: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland, awesome authors have read so many of their books!!
Steph: Huge fan of Penelope Ward I’m so excited for this! Thanks for posting!
