I must confess, I do agree with Blondemom. Would love to have a deck like that. Awesome! Such a homelike, cushiony, peaceable place. Goes right along with your loveable, warming family…ok, I must hush, or ya may find me knocking on ur door one of these days(LOL jk)…would be a sweet get a way from the “boot camp of life” as stated by Mark.

Loved the blog you had on GC, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Life sure gets hard, things may look bad, but God see’s my end and in that I will trust!

Blessings hun and thanks for all you do. You bless me!

You are an AMAZING hostess and I am so tickled you invited me. Everything was fabulous and I am still thinking ’bout those Mojitos. The company was fantastic and the laughs were plentiful. Also? I love your deck. If you find me out there one morning drinking my coffee well you know…I’m just a deck stalker.

Lots of love to you during your birthday week fab mama!!!!!

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that I missed your birthday on Monday, June 21 when it is on my calendar, for goodness sake. But, knowing you, you are still celebrating, so Happy Birthday sweet Tori!

It is wonderful seeing you up and about….having a birthday dinner party. And, your table looks beautiful in the midst of your pretty flowers and your scrumpuous menu.

Along with music of every kind, your part of Tennessee must be home to blogers of every kind. And, a blonde who knows how to party.

Belated birthday wishes, my dearest Tori.

I still find myself giggling, three days later, over all the funny things that happened that evening. It happens.

Also still kicking myself for having stuffed myself at my father-in-law’s birthday party prior coming to your place. I was certain I would be arriving in time for just dessert! Next time, I’m arriving hungry!!

It was a perfect evening, with wonderful company and lasting memories. Thank you, again!

Right, that’s it, one day I’m coming to your house! When Jon and Russ went out for a meal he told him we could all come and visit … any time. (Don’t worry its not likely to happen, its a very long way :-)).

I’m so pleased you had a good birthday, and even more pleased that you feel like yourself again.

Tori – I just read your article in Homecoming Magazine featuring Janet Paschal (“everybody’s favorite girl next door”. Yes, my husband says “Everybody loves Janet. Why wouldn’t you?”). Great article! Good job!

LindaB – I LOVE GARDENIAS TOO! My favorite, along with white tulips.

Tori – I have those exact yellowy-white petunias on my deck, too (Lowe’s?). They are beautiful! Your deck is so inviting. Is that your vegetable garden way back out there? My mouth is watering for just picked tomatoes and cucumbers. MMMMMM!

Was that a gardenia I saw? I LOVE THEM! I’m pretty sure that is what Heaven will smell like. My wedding bouquet was made of gardenias. I’ve had no luck in growing them though.

Everything looks great but the BEST PART is that you were able to do all that. A few weeks ago I would never have thought your back would allow it. Yay!

So….would that cucumber salsa be from the same recipe you promised us back a while ago?

So glad that you had an incredible birthday. You deserve it, my precious sister – after all you went through with that back. Believe me, I understand that all too well!
ROTFL Believe me, my mom tries to pull off that never-lived-in look all the time and I have a sneaky feeling I’ll be getting the “this place needs to be spit-shined” talking to sometime tonight considering we have a family reunion Saturday here. One problem – I can’t lift right now thanks to – you got it – my back. So I guess my brother will be getting the “you-better-get-in-there-and-help-your-sister” sermon. We just shut the doors to our bedrooms – that way they cannot enter the real world LOLOL. Not without our permission anyhow.
I LOVE that dining room! WOW! If I ever get a place of my own, I’ll have to get you and the girls to come and help me decorate. LOL

Looks GREAT! You could put your tablescape on “Tablescape Thursday”——very pretty! I’m glad you’ve reentered the land of the living. Can’t imagine how bummed being confined to bed that long would feel.

I wanna hear more about Armando.

Busymom- I am trying to keep that part of our world a secret because the possibility exists that we might want to open a theme park back there.
Like maybe… RUSS TAFF’S GOSPEL PUTT-PUTT WORLD!!!
It happens.

Best. Party. Ever. Don’t let her fool you, the food was amazing.

But? I can’t quite see the greens and flags in the yard…
