~celebrating happy accidents and youth~


A happy accident happened on this tray.
 

I placed the boy bust and cream and sugar on the tray while dusting and thought them appealing.
More than appealing, somehow soothing.

Please forgive me as I have been blogging and worse yet commenting on the fly lately.
 CC and I have been having fun and enjoying each others company. We saw The Hunger Games on Friday and I asked her why the price was reduced. 
CC looked at the tickets, as I hardly ever go to a movie, and I got a senior discount (grey 
hair) and she got a child's discount (she looks like she is twelve).
 So I took my grand child to the movies!

 I am 49 and my daughter is 20.

I plan on taking photos of Shelley Puppy today and doing a report on him later.
 I am miserably behind in my regular irregular schedule.

be blessed
Olive

  3. Sounds like you're having such sweet times with CC. Your tray looks great ~ always fun to be able to play (as I call moving things around) even when cleaning! And hey, I don't care what I'm labeled, I'll take a discount any day. :-))

  6. We went to the movies yesterday and they gave us the senior citizens' discount. We are 53, husband has grey hair and this has happened every once in awhile for the last 10 years. I love how you say you took your granchild to the movies - haha! Hope you enjoyed The Hunger Games, I loved the books and liked the movie, it stands on its own quite well. Ann

  8. I did smile about the cinema tickets. Good that you got the discounts I say! Loved the items on the tray, especially the little boy bust. Don't worry about blogging so much at the moment. Enjoy your special time with your daughter. It's lovely to be able to hang out together and do fun things. Make the most of it my friend.

  9. Who knew there were so many benefits to letting your grey hair go natural. Pretty soon you will be getting that magical AARP card and can be a card carrying member of the old people's club (I'm President, I think).

  16. The happy accident is beautiful, Olive.

    Your afternoon at the movies with senior discount sounds delightful.

    I have also been blogging on the fly and commenting sporadically. But sometimes life intervenes when you least expect it. It seems this last week or two J and I have been on the run with one thing and another and we are both beginning to show some wear and tear. I am taking a little time this evening to visit bloggy land. I think I am going to have to do short trips through the blogosphere for awhile, until we get the house painting and fixing finished. The old grey mare ain't what she used to be!

  17. Lol! Did you get your AARP card yet? Somebody wasn't paying attention...but it's nice to get a discount since going to the movies cost so much!

  18. That is way too funny - take it as a humorous blessing I guess. :)

  19. That is too funny! You and I are close in age, but I color my hair, so I'm not gray. I never thought of the silver lining (forgive the pun) of having gray hair though. Ha! I saw that movie and liked it. I had to get over the fact that kids were killing kids though.
