Today is Memorial Day. We remember; our flag is up.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On our never-ending search for items of Blue, we spotted this portable basketball hoop a few blocks from our house. Of course, I'm also showing you the beautiful Florida Blue sky. We're experiencing a terrible drought, so we see plenty of these pretty skies!



What? The portable basketball hoop doesn't look very Blue to you?

Well, here's a closer shot. Can you see the Blue outlining the backboard with a square of Blue in the center?



The question of the day is, do you find portable basketball hoops placed in driveways attractive or eyesores?

Happy Blue Monday!

Johnny worked outside in sunny South Florida most of his life, and because of his exposure to the sun, he now has to be checked by a dermatologist every six months. Recently, he had to have a skin cancer removed from his back. It was done as an outpatient at the doctor's office. I went along with him and look what I spotted in the waiting room! A curio cabinet chock full of Blue Glass and Blue medicine tubes! I tell you, Blue is everywhere.



Johnny had his stitches removed this past Friday, and was told that the "margins were clear," which means that the doctor succeeded in removing all of the cancer. Hooray!

Happy Blue Monday!

Blue Monday - Graduation Day Times Two!

Hello! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.

After you've linked in, it's a good idea to check your link. I continue to find defective links. (That prevents comments from coming your way.) Sometimes I can fix a defective link, and so I do. But on occasion, there is a link that cannot be fixed by me. If the Blogger has left a comment, I can notify that person, but (alas!) if no comment has been left--can you imagine THAT--I cannot notify the Blogger of the error and have no choice but to delete the link. {sigh}

Click on each other's links and spread some joy by wishing them a Happy Blue Monday!

May 5th, Johnny and I traveled to Gainesville, Florida, to celebrate two graduates! Here we are with Caeli, wearing her honor cords around her neck. See, the Blue cords? Her tassel is also Blue and orange, the school's colors. Do we look proud or what?



She's holding the Undergraduate Student Academic Achievement Award that she was presented.

As winner of that award, Caeli was honored to speak for her graduating class. This shot was taken by her Uncle Allen, our son, using his cell phone. I know it's a bit blurry, but you can still see some Blue in the background, the sign on the podium, and her cords and tassel.



Here's Caeli at her home with plenty of Blue.



Caeli's younger sister, Ara, graduated May 4th from Santa Fe Community College with honors and her AA degree. This is a shot of our son-in-law, Michael, Ara, and our daughter, Debi. This Fall, Ara plans to attend the University of Florida to continue the work on her Bachelor's. There is a touch of Blue in her honor cords. We're super proud of her too!



I hope you had a good Mother's Day. I certainly did.
I'm including pictures of the beautiful Blue blooms Debi sent me for Mother's Day.



I have no idea the name of these flowers; they look like small roses. Do you know what they're called?



Happy Blue Monday!

Blue Monday - Mr. Pig and Miss Frog

Welcome! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.

With all of the Blogger changes, I no longer trust Blogger to work smoothly. Therefore, I have set Blue Monday to begin super early this week. I did this because I will be away from my computer. Blue Monday will not close until 11:20 PM EST.

Visit other Blue Monday participants by clicking on their links and wishing them a Happy Blue Monday!

This glass table sits right inside the front door. We have sidelight windows on both sides of our door, allowing the sunlight to stream through each morning; of course, this makes everything sparkle.



Some time ago, a generous blogger, Barbara, from The Purple Goat Lady, sent me these Blue and white figurines by Andrea of Sadek. I wrote about it here. Because I love Blue, I have especially enjoyed this pig and frog. They usually live inside my china cabinet, but when Easter was over, and the decorations put away, I needed something to perk up my front entrance. The Blue and white figurines volunteered to help!




Here's a close-up of Mr. Piggy. I think he's smiling. How do I know it's a "he"?
Well, we all know Miss Piggy looks a tad different; in addition, she only has Blue eyes.
This guy is Blue and white all over!




Thinking along those lines, here's a close-up of Miss Froggy. How do I know it's a "she"?
Have you ever seen Kermit looking even a tiny bit Blue? Of course not!

Happy Blue Monday!
