I am soooooooo with you on "C". Making beds is such a chore but it is something that has to be done 'right' - no "that'll do" - and it is worth it to get into a lovely made bed.
Toni :o)
Hello, Nice to see you!!!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment in my post.
This post of yours gave me good information about you♪♪♪
My city has a sister-city in your country (New Castle) and I have marvelous memories with people in that city as a kind of volunteer interpreter.
I'd really appreciated if you become my follower.
Sincerely, Orchid.
Wow, I got your message♪♪♪
Lovely to be friends and looking forward to read you post!!!
Hugs, Orchid.
awww your mother's name is beautiful! i too cant start a day without having a shower first! i cant pick fave colors too! thanks for sharing :)
i too have probs with choosing fave color so i thrown in everything in the same place, result? a mess, well cute mess anyway to me, hubby disagrees haha..nice to know a little bit about u in the ABC, im so with u as well on making the bed plus housechores which i was doing, hate it alot but when im finished, i love it :)
That was fun! I too sleep with one foot hanging out of the bed! Isn't that funny!!
Thanks so much for dropping before. It was so lovely to hear from you.
Regarding pinterest, send me an email with your email address and I will send you an invite. That normally works quite quickly.
Take care and best wishes for a lovely week.

Hi Marilyn,
Thank you for the birthday wishes! have a wonderful day! x susan
Hello! Thank-you for your kind words and advice, it is always appreciated. Lovely to find you too.
I have always been naturally shy from a young age, I have grown to accept it over the years. I just hope over time, with age and with the responsibility that life brings I will come out of myself a little bit more.
I agree Dorothy Lillian is a beautiful name xxx
I'm with you--I have so many color combinations that I love. And I'm envious of your beautiful location! This was a fun post. Thanks for commenting on my blog!
hi hun! wishing you a great weekend! i know it's hard to find the right camera but i wish i had a lot of money to buy a proper photographer one instead of a pocket camera but i'm still loving it coz the thing is, i just love taking pics and eventhough i took crap potos, the next thing i love is free photo editor online so i can change my crappy pics into nice ones with effects :)

Dearest Marilyn,
So good to read a comment from you! Thanks for your visit and wishing you well. I hope I can escape the need for steroids again... My blood work was not good. On the 20th again, let's hope I make it without medication as I loved the one year off.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Dearest Marilyn,
Sending you some hugs and well wishes!
Mariette
Dearest Marilyn,

Thank you dear friend. Happy and healthy New Year to you too. Marilyn
Dearest Marilyn,
So happy to find your comment on my blog post! Hope you are okay.
Lost my Mom on January 27 and this 1st Mother's Day was kind of tough... for many reasons!
Sending you hugs and best wishes always.
Mariette
Dearest Mariette... I am so sorry to hear about your Mom, Mothers Day must have been very hard for you. I love looking at your posts and hope one day to get back to posting myself.
Marilyn
This is so darn cute Marilyn! Loved reading it. I sleep just like that. :) Growing up my bedroom was lavender and I loved it. Now I just use touches of it for springs. Can't resist those gorgeous lilacs! Speaking of that, your header is beautiful!! Your Australia sounds gorgeous!! Our daughter just returned last June from spending a lot of time there. Hubby and I have never been, but hope to someday!
hugs,
Jann
Nice to hear from you Jann. Looks lovely where you are. My daughter lives in PA and I have never been there but guess it is on the cards for one day. lol.
Dearest Marilyn,
Hoping you're well!
Sending you big hugs,
Mariette
