Good Morning!
As we come to the close of another
wild month, I hope you have enjoyed
the "little things in life."
We continue to hang at home, getting
projects done or just resting, We aren't
"resters" by nature so we have had to
learn a new routine. How about you?
June promises some house projects,
vacation days for Mr. Ken and time
spent with family (all together is one
place) for Father' Day.
We should be in our last "phase" of
sheltering in place and normal should
return but I think it will be a new normal
for most. As things continue to open up
here, people are still hanging at home,
restaurants are being supported by
carryout or curbside pickup, stores are
seeing more customers returning,
and outdoor spots are very busy.
I hope that June is a smooth month for
all my friends in blogland!
PS: I think I lost a comment on my last
post if I did and it was yours, it was an

Happy Friday, I hope you are all doing
well.
Last Sunday Mr. ken and I enjoyed an
impromptu picnic at one of our local
parks. As were leaving we stopped at
the rose garden.
The rose garden has been in the park
since 1974 and is named in honor of
Helen S Cuddy, for her "dedication
and beautification through her life-
long service and work with garden
club projects."
It was also established as a community
project of the East Central Kansas
Garden Club.
There is an estimated 500 different
roses is the garden.
The garden is a very popular place
for weddings.
There is a fountain, a Gazebo, a sundial,
peony bushes, plus many shrubs, trees,
ornamental grasses, bulbs and perennials
to be seen in the garden.
Our blooming season for roses has been
slow this year, several cool days. We are
going to have sunnier and warmer days
ahead which I'm sure the roses will enjoy.
So many pretty ones to see.
Such delicate creations!
Have a wonderful weekend!

On Saturday, I took Mr. Ken on a
"Mystery Date." We are lucky to have
this cute little event space in a
neighboring city. The Hostess came up
with a different way to bring people to
her home while "social distancing"
continues. She titled it "A Fresh
Perspective" and I booked the house
for two peaceful hours.
Welcome to Vintage House, a unique
event venue. One can plan all types of
parties and social events for small groups.
This cute little home is situated in the
downtown are of the neighboring city.
The photos below tell their story, so enjoy.
This area above was where we enjoyed
some light snacks and flavored water.
So fun!
A mean card game was played before we
had our light snacks.
Vintage House truly is a Happy House.
We enjoyed the two hours spent having
fun together away from home. Ms. Lauri
has a beautiful house that she is willing to
share with anyone wanting a quaint venue
for their event. This package provided us
with the opportunity to see the house AND
get to spend time there.
I think she hit the nail on the head with
this creative idea. When viewing the
calendar to book our day, a lot of dates
were already taken. Several people had their wedding there and came back on their
anniversaries to celebrate by themselves.
Hope you enjoyed Vintage House.

Good Morning! It is a cool, humid
rainy day here in eastern Kansas.
If I was at school we would be having
"Fun Friday" since I'm not we'll have
here on the good ol' blog.
I saw this BINGO game in one of my
Country Living Magazines. So when
you go on your walks, look for these,
mark them off and when you get
BINGO share with us and what your
"prize" was.
Your probably thinking, "an apple?"
Well, before I had this one for a snack,
I snapped a pic because I thought is
was sooooo pretty. I believe it is a Pink
Lady.
Caught this feller napping on our deck.
The deck we plan to redo when some
of our "opening phases" expire.
Not a squirrel fan but he is kinda cute
all tucked up cozy.
A Facebook find. Some good ideas.
Our neighbor texted me this morning,
asking if I wanted a Peony blooms that
broke off in our storm last night.
I said sure and I would put a vase on
the front porch (social distancing and
all). When I went to get the vase, much
to my delight...there was a whole bouquet
waiting for me!
Watching this one closely for ants!
Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend.
Stay safe as your cities and states
slowly open up.
