Funny thing, I wrote this post a week or so before actually putting it up, I was just having some writing/blogging blahs and needed a break. When I finally posted I found you were no longer going to be around. So really it wasn't post-mortem, I was just lazy. Take care, MargueriteMargueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-53028590193007429542011-03-03T11:20:19.504-04:002011-03-03T11:20:19.504-04:00Ha!

I must say my feelings were beginning to get a little sore, as I'd never been awarded anything in over a year of blogging. Woohoo! Thank you so much for gifting me with my first award! <br /><br />Yes, we are lucky to garden here in Florida, where we can have roses year-round. Perhaps if you win the lottery, you could buy a winter home in Florida and become a real bona-fide snowbird! ; )Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-14255719190243659812011-03-02T19:56:48.491-04:002011-03-02T19:56:48.491-04:00Frances, thanks for nominating me! that's som...Frances, thanks for nominating me! that's some storm but I suppose the garden can use the rain and there's likely not many plants to knock down at this time of year.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-58029822305785204002011-03-02T17:43:48.748-04:002011-03-02T17:43:48.748-04:00Marguerite thanks for the review of my blog, I lik...Marguerite thanks for the review of my blog, I like your twist on the 7 things definately wise to keep the triumphs last, I know what you mean about 'something that's mine' I have one room and the hall carpet still to do then the house will be 'mine' after over 9 years, I hope the snow will soon be a memory and you can see your garden again, we had a force 9 gale last night no snow lots of rain, FrancesIsland Threadshttp://islandthreads.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-24043851208125040512011-03-02T12:07:21.757-04:002011-03-02T12:07:21.757-04:00Jess - I must admit my favourite lottery tickets a...Jess - I must admit my favourite lottery tickets are the scratchies. Not because I'll win big but I just like scratching the Bingo cards.<br /><br />Thanks One. Unfortunately we could both be waiting awhile. I've been playing lotto for years and still no luck.<br /><br />Casa Mariposa - wow you must have been happy to find that woodwork behind the wall! what a find. You're right, the wallpaper is just the same in that it was a style that just wasn't mine. But now that it's removed we're also changing the room around and personalizing it even more. A new light fixture and coat rack among a few other things are making it more useful and to our tastes.<br /><br />Paula Jo - welcome to the Corner! Snow is a bit of a new thing for me too. Although I grew up in a snowy cold area I've lived the last 15 years in southwestern British Columbia which is quite warm and has little snow. Moving to Prince Edward Island has been a bit of a jolt to the system. Particularly this winter as we've had twice the amount of snow than normal. By the way, I won't tell anybody about the casinos if you don't tell anybody I bet on the ponies at the track in summer.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-564234797944696822011-03-01T23:32:58.572-04:002011-03-01T23:32:58.572-04:00This is my first visit on your blog and I'm h...This is my first visit on your blog and I'm happy to say CONGRATS!<br />I read your post and it put a big smile on my face. You have a great sense of humor.<br /><br />I just wished I could send you at least a bit of our Spring from down here in SE Texas to brighten your days even a bit more.<br />Thank God, we do not have to deal with snow down here and the "winter" usually lasts only a few weeks with days in between that can be really warm. Although, last winter we had some usual cold days and it lasted until 2 weeks ago.<br />Now what your buying of lottery tickets concerns so I can only wish you Good Luck. I know, people say "you never know" but I also know, I win every week - the money I save by not buying any tickets. LOL<br />Therefore I like gambling in Casinos once in a while, but please don't tell anybody!;)<br />Best Regards <br />Paula JoPJ@Outdoor Garden decorations | Home Decor Accentshttp:/cleanstar-homeandgardenworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-69570610471845130452011-03-01T22:45:51.753-04:002011-03-01T22:45:51.753-04:00Thanks for your kindness!

Once when fighting off cabin fever in our house in NY, I grabbed a hammer and started ripping down bright yellow paneling that had been covering original 1895 tongue in groove woodwork. It was a huge project but was exhilarating and helped me feel the house was mine. Sounds like your wallpaper project. Winter can't last forever. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-87656767671340819922011-03-01T21:21:35.100-04:002011-03-01T21:21:35.100-04:00I enjoy your hilarious post.

I think I would have cried. you're right, making our own mark in this house has been slow but it makes such a difference. It really is starting to feel more like my home than just camping out in somebody else's house.<br /><br />Laurrie - you're right, I have 'won' haven't I? Sometimes it's easy to forget all the good things and let the bad things take over.<br /><br />Cat - oh don't tempt me! I'm trying to be good this year and not randomly buy every plant I see. Gotta focus on creating more beds first.<br /><br />Bub - when we moved in we were overwhelmed with all the things we had to do and a lot of the renovations were put off. In the year since we've just gotten used to the house as it is. That's not necessarily a good thing and it was nice to find an excuse to rip down wallpaper. As soon as it was off and there was a clean slate there we realized how much better the space could be organized to suit our lifestyle.<br /><br />Ms.S - Winter is definitely sticking around this year although I must admit, I'm noticing, if only just a few minutes at a time, that each day the sun is around a tiny bit longer. Soon enough we'll get some of those glorious long summer evenings.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-35942649161529807342011-03-01T19:37:08.773-04:002011-03-01T19:37:08.773-04:00I like the balance of your post.

It's not until you start that you realise how much of an effect it had.<br /><br />I really hope you get some relief from all the snow soon - Mother Nature has certainly been making her presence felt around the world over the last few months.Bubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352255530335299560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-53558879101150394352011-03-01T18:56:33.525-04:002011-03-01T18:56:33.525-04:00Spring will smile on you soon!

I posted my 7 things a couple days ago and they were biographical (I'm pathetically literal if there are "rules") --- I like your approach to divulging 7 triumphs and 7 tragedies much better.

Where did you buy that ticket?)Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-27333668125066520742011-03-01T17:48:42.527-04:002011-03-01T17:48:42.527-04:00Congrats on the award, commiserations for the snow...Congrats on the award, commiserations for the snow... Wallpaper stripping sounds like the perfect activity for cabin fever antidote, it makes such a difference when you start to make your mark on your new home. Sleigh ride sounds like the perfect way to make the most of the ridiculous amount of snow. Stay warm and safe!
