For my share of Rednesday I have a warm wool blanket made in Rumania, I got it from a very dear couple, They have retired to Puerto Rico and gave us their sleeper couch and the blanket, it is soooo cozy, I can see myself wrap in it, reading a book in a cold winter night like the ones we have here in NY. It's made of virgin wool.
This jar was only 99 cents in my favorite thrift store. It was empty until yesterday, finally I found a pop corn maker and this jar was perfect to store the kernels.
Tom Brokaw' s Greates Generation Series. I love them, love them, love them. I have always admire the WWII military men and women, since I was a child in Mexico. I never, never in my wildest dreams imagined I would of end up married to a Marine.

Hi Cachanilla,
Love the plaid wool blanket. How interesting you admired the WWII men and women and grew up to marry a Marine. I know you must be very proud of him. My dad and my DH's dad both served in WWII. We are very proud of them for their service and sacrifice. I met an old gentleman a few weeks back who had fought on Iwo Jima! I thanked him for what he went thru for our country.
I trust your family is well in Baja. There have been over 2,000 quakes on that faultline since Easter....as you know, I'm sure.
Happy REDnesday to you~
Hi Mary!! thanks for stopping by. And yes!!! I can't believe I married a Marine, talk about destiny. My family is ok, well, a little scared as everyone in Baja, it has been a while since they had a strong quake like the Easter One.
Take Care.
Hi Cachanilla!
Nice to meet you and thank you for stopping by my blog!
Love the red plaid throw! And your popcorn jar is so cute!
Thanks Diann!!! Happy Rednesday.
Hi Cotty,
Love that red and black tartan throw, woot!
And I laughed when I read about the shot only because it reminded me of when my (now 19) year old Jonny had to get one and he jumped off the table ran out of the room, down the hall, and locked himself in the LADIES bathroom!!!! Nurse Anne had to talk him out!!! Oh my...remember those days...
And I LOVE that you shared the beautiful bride and Handsome Marine wedding photos. SO LOVELY! what a handsome man you have. I pray he will heal up as time continues to pass...Bless you as you serve as wife, mom, nurse, doctor, bill payer, cook, (popcorn popper!!) maid, etc etc etc...You know all the hats we have to wear... but taking care of the one who wore those dress blues...I thank him...and I applaude you! Hugs to you! Thank your husband again as this is the set aside time where we verbalize our appreciation for our military, past, present and future! Julie
What a lovely red plaid blanket!! Also, what lovely wedding pictures.
I too can relate to what you are saying, my husband is in the Army and as I grew up in a military town, I swore I would never, ever marry a soldier. Well, 22 years and 3 children later, here I am getting ready to make my 14th move in 3 weeks. :) Love has a strange way of just happening when you least expect it!
Have a great Wednesday~
Blessings,
Ann

Hello Ann, thanks for stopping by. It's amazing this thing call destiny, when You least expect it BAM!!! there He is, calling at your door and changing our world. Good luck in your next move, I remember those times very well. ;-)
Hi Mica!! My Bambino did well, He got 4 vaccines in 3 shots!!! poor kid, He complained all the way back home about how "she pocked me". But You know, I think Daddy was in more pain then My Bambino, ;-)
Thanks for visiting.
Joy I loooove your blog, mmmhhh... that chocolate peso its awesome!!! Thanks for stopping by.
Your wool blanket is so lovely. I admire the WWII generation too and I am glad that you got to marry a Marine!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Thank You Susan!! ;) I'am glad too for My Marine.
Oh, that blanket does look cozy! I've only read one of the Brokaw books and I'm very proud to be an American! My dad, also, was in WWII, in the Navy.
Hey, what a beautiful bride you were! And what a handsome Marine!
Oh, thank you Sue!! I enjoyed the books so much, I plan to re-read them again.
Oh dear, that is something about motherhood that I disliked so much. I think each shot they got hurt me more than them. I wish all vaccinations would be a sugar lump with some drops in it!
Myy Cachanilla you are one lucky girl your husband is so handsome! (and of course, he is one lucky guy too!)
I've always liked tartan blankets and yours is lovely.
Happy Rednesday (although today is Thursday) to you!
Thank for visiting Kifus!! and yes those annoying shots, but it's for the best. Jeje, yes HE is the lucky one, of course I didn't get it bad either, ;).
Of course your red treasures are lovely, but even better treasures are your family, your two daughters in their communion dresses are lovely and your husband the marine, who served his country. Those are great treasures.
Oh Sherrie, thanks!!! I love my family so much, I am so proud of each of them. ;)
I love your reds ! I hope your son is feeling better now. Your Wedding pictures are beautiful !
Blessings,
~Myrna
Thank you Myrna ;) !!!! and My Bambino he is just fine, running around, jumping, 'bugging' his sisters, just the normal routine, lol.
I think my son and yours are similar in age since my son recently had five (!!!) shots to get ready for kindergarten. I was practically in tears, but composed myself for the sake of my son! I love that red plaid blanket. It is so pretty. Thanks for posting your wedding photos. It's such a treat to see those. They're beautiful.
Wow!! 5 shots, now that is PAINFUL!! for him and for you. I did try to compose myself too, but My Boricua, well that's another story ;) .
