God Bless The USA

I begin this Independence Day post with a beautiful sky, may
we be so lucky as to continue to have these here in America as
we celebrate her 233rd Birthday and all that it means. We can
only continue to Pray and Hope that someday, people all
around the world will one day hold all the freedoms and
liberties that being an AMERICAN affords those that live here.
Count your Blessings. I know I do EVERY day!

I know there are A LOT of photos in this post, but please hit
play on the Playlist to hear the beautiful song "Go
d Bless
The USA" and then...

Come on a journey with me to see a bit of what makes our
Homeland so special, unique, and a place that carries all the
possibilities of HOPE.




























































God Bless America and all she holds on her Land. Have a safe
and Happy 4th Of July!!!

Summer Days



Then followed that beautiful season...
Summer...filled was the air with a dreamy
and magical light;
and the landscape lay as if new created
in all the freshness of childhood.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


I hope you all have a MAGICAL summer!

Deanna's Birthday Bash...Part Two


HERE WE GO! It's time for the second half of Deanna's at
Timeless Things two day Birthday Celebration! Happy Birthday
Deanna! Today is the day we all get spiffied up and squeeze
ourselves into some slinky party gowns, because after all, we
are famous Movie Stars and that IS what famou
s Movie
Stars DO. There is only one small problem. It was a bit of a
rough week and I started off looking like THIS...


I began my beauty regime with a major shampoo/condition
job. I had to call in reinforcements to tame my wild mop in
time for the party.



Of course my make-up had to be applied by an expert on an
occasion such as the loveleigh Deanna's Party.


Every precaution must be taken to ensure the sneaky Paparazzi
don't catch a glimpse of me before I hit the red carpet. I must
move like a stealth cat...


Now to the closet. What oh what shall I wear. There HAS to be
SOMETHING party worthy in here. Decisions, decisions...



Do you think I could get away with going for the comfort
look. No. Definitely not. Deanna is expecting us to attend her
party in all our GLAMOUR.



How about this? Do you think it resembles a fishing net too
closely? Yes, I think so too, definitely out, however it could
come in handy later in this post...


NOW, we're getting closer. This dress is DIVINE and very regal-
like. I'm just afraid my head would implode from carrying
around all that extra hair and jewelery. Maybe not such a
grand idea for THIS occasion. Let's see...


Well LA DI DAH. This is one fabulous concoction. My only
concerns are being able to breathe and the fear of killing
someone with that hat. It IS stunning though. It could be worth
the trouble... Nah, I'll have to pass. What else is hidden back in
the deepest recesses of my closet...



AH HA! This is it! Jackpot Baby! I knew I could
find something
beautiful, elegant and breathable! This is just what I was after
and the Doggies make a wonderful accessory,
they'll keep
any pesky Paparazzi away. Dogs are allowed aren't they Deanna?


As for the OTHER accessories a girl needs, I think I'll throw
THIS pretty little bauble around my neck. I'll skip the earrings.
THEY say less is more, whoever THEY are.



Now I just need to find the perfect pair of shoes...


There. These are just the ticket. Practically perfect in every way!
I'm all ready now and I'll see you there..


I'm on my way out the door as we speak, with gifts in hand for
the Birthday Girl and OH what a gift it is...


So Birthday Girl, put your Birthday Crown upon your pretty
little head and I'll show you what I have in store for YOU on
your special day...


I proudly present to you, on this most joyous DAY, a little
something of your own, this teeny tiny little...


PRIVATE ISLAND!


Yes Deanna, this beautiful gift to you is located in the British
Virgin Islands. It's name is Necker Island and houses this
beautiful Balinese inspired Villa.


There are miles of sandy, white, pristine beaches for your own
personal use...


and endless spots to kick back, relax and dream the day away.



There are 14 bedrooms with private bathrooms and balconies
with stunning views...


An indoor/outdoor shower area. For those that don't have
modesty issues...


Two, yes two swimming pools, two Jacuzzis, and a hot tub,
tennis court, snorkeling, private helicopter transport for
you and your guests to use, and 74 acres of nature trails to
explore.







The gift comes with one minor stipulation, you and Mr. Timeless
have to invite me to visit. Often. We could have such stupendous
times whiling way the hours.


If you would like to discover more about your NEW island, go
HERE to see more beautiful pictures and get all the details.


Thank you so much Deanna for sharing your Birthday with us,
it was a real joy and I had a blast hanging out amongst all the
STARS! Happy Happy Birthday!
