The wind was crazy here as well last weekend but it sounds like yours was crazier! I want you to know that I just got done sorting through some of my decorating books because everything must be sorted and organized in this house ;) and I discovered I also had two books that had different covers but were the same. It is so annoying that they do that! And the funny thing is I probably never would have figured it out had I not flipped through one and then immediately the other. My big girl was more than happy to take it off my hands for me though!!Jen Kershnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128661586028201160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-59010661786636382332016-02-24T22:49:51.932-06:002016-02-24T22:49:51.932-06:00I love the shower curtain--it's so cheerful-lo...I love the shower curtain--it's so cheerful-looking!

After last week's ordeal, I need some spring around the house. The hubster had some cards and flowers (hydrangeas) waiting on me when I got home last night. He came home early to get back to work and me and my sisters had to help my mom with a few things. Tulips always remind me of a breath of sunshine. I know that sounds weird, but they do.<br /><br />Like you, I have to avoid book sections sometimes. I don't know, I just go crazy in a book section or a book store and just start grabbing things that look funny or interesting. I have so many favorites that I can no longer keep up.<br /><br />The recipe looks interesting...I've never had cod cakes before but will definitely save this recipe to give it a try!<br /><br />Love the new shower curtain. I'm boring, I stick with white so that I can accessorize everything else! :-)<br /><br />Love and hugs to you sweet friend!<br /><br />Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-16663141196857468592016-02-23T18:10:25.324-06:002016-02-23T18:10:25.324-06:00I just love tulips.

I change them up for the season too.<br />Thanks for sharing the recipe. Love fresh flowers in the house too. We had warm temps but today turned cool and we got some much needed rain.<br /><br />Have a great week. xoCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-27332204810044422702016-02-22T18:44:23.841-06:002016-02-22T18:44:23.841-06:00Fresh flowers in my house makes me smile:) I love...Fresh flowers in my house makes me smile:) I love Target and get some really good bargains sometimes:) It has felt a lot like Spring down here but raining today and is gonna cool off this weekend!

I saw a video of an older woman who literally almost got blown away, and might have, had three strangers not come to her aid. I remember being in Chicago once, and have to hold on to a pole so I wouldn't get knocked over! Ever since I stopped working, I became very forgetful, and have had to purchase a daily planner just like the one I used at work. Even still, I have some things on my phone, some on the planner, so I still mess up! The cod cakes look delish!Amy at Ms. Toody Goo Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474198992341706776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-83118205889385998842016-02-21T16:07:47.013-06:002016-02-21T16:07:47.013-06:00Just had to stop by and say hello Jane.

I need to take more time to read and spend less time on the social media sites and the computer in general. Also, I need a break from keeping up my booth spaces, but that will probably never happen. I love what I do. <br />Enjoy the nice weather. I think here on the coast we are going back to rain and cold.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week.<br /><br />hugs<br />SissieSissie's Shabby Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142205878984008123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-24662735818948155782016-02-21T10:37:18.593-06:002016-02-21T10:37:18.593-06:00I can't believe how warm it's been there! ...I can't believe how warm it's been there!

I always forget they have books. :) Enjoy your week!

I heard on the news it caused some damage downtown. Your food looks good as always. I like your tip about spreading a little mayo on the fish cake before dropping in the oil -- I am going to remember that. Down here we all grew up on salmon patties -- the kind made with salmon in a can. I don't think the fish you used as common here. I buy crabmeat sometimes at Costco and made crab cakes -- we like those, too. <br /><br />I will check out that book. I am reading Circling the Sun, and so far it is really good. We have had some nice Spring-like days, too, so I sat on the back porch for a couple of hours this afternoon reading.<br /><br />Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681743103386838795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-80982685349259106452016-02-20T21:29:47.527-06:002016-02-20T21:29:47.527-06:00Late arriving.

It was beautiful all week with sunny skies and 70s, but Thursday was strangely windy. <br />I buy fresh flowers each week. I find that Trader Joe's has great flowers and excellent prices. <br /> I need to go buy some tomorrow.

Border's closed here too and Barnes & Noble has a lot of "stuff" but hardly ever the book needed. I just don't go there anymore and use Amazon.<br /><br />We've been in the 70's here this week and wayyyy too windy! My allergies have been horrible as has everyone else's. Humidity has been horrible today although rain is forecast for tomorrow. We really need it!<br /><br />I'm going to re-do my bathroom too. Just feels like time for a change. Don't you love having the windows open? Just feels like you can refresh everything like that. I should have taken a photo of the tulips I bought today although they're really not open yet. I was at the grocery store and checking out the flowers. The girl working there said she would discount them if I wanted the tulips so she marked them down to $2. They're planted in a container so I got one for my daughter too. I so love tulips!<br /><br />Have a great week ~<br />xo<br />Pat<br />Gypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212447439580468374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-81588633523501446472016-02-20T20:01:37.529-06:002016-02-20T20:01:37.529-06:00I am a big paper and pencil girl and I write every...I am a big paper and pencil girl and I write everything down in my planner.

Hopefully my granddaughter will go back and read after I have left this world and get to know her grandma better. They live close to San Francisco so it's not so easy to see them all the time.<br /><br />I found a fish that I really like - they sell it at Costco. It's a salmon patty and you can put in in the microwave or fry it in the skillet. It's not fishy at all. I put some lemon on it or Tartar sauce, and I have even put Knorr Hollandaise sauce on it. also make a lot of Tuna salad.<br /><br />Glad that you are having some nice temps and hopefully it will stay that way. We are expecting 90 by Monday.<br /><br />I also love fresh flowers in the house and right now my garden is not producing many for a bouquet.<br /><br />Have a great weekend Jane and hopefully you and husband will go someplace special.<br />Hugs dear friend.<br />MaryMary@mydogsmygardenandmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265174897498950754noreply@blogger.com
