I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am LOVING Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

"A Stroll in The Park"



Right now, I have so many things that I am working on and trying to finish that I think I am losing my mind!!!

I finally put away all of Easter and have been trying to get the Living Room and Dining Room back to "normal".

I have also been working on outside projects when the weather is nice .  But it is supposed to go down into the high 20's and low 30's at night for the next few days so those projects are on hold and the back patio is still not finished.

I also made wreaths and decorated our little tree at work that sits on the ledge of the Nurse's Station in a Garden theme until it will be time to decorate my Rehab Unit for the Summer Patriotic Holidays.  Of course, this has also brought in some Garden Wreath orders that I am also working on.  I will show you the wreaths soon.....

I also want to THANK Kathe over at Kathe with an E for featuring my post I'm Still Here ,where I shared pictures of my front porch and yard , on her Face Book Page from last week's
 You're Gonna Love It Tuesday


 Please take some time to visit Kathe and maybe even link up yourself!!
Thanks, Kathe!!

Since we got the Big TV ( Black Box) in the Living Room, I have loved to decorate the top of the Entertainment Center that the TV ( Black Box) fits in .....

Now I have it decorated with all of my "regular" things and not with Holiday decorations......

You know I am a Victorian at Heart so the theme for the top of my Entertainment Center is.......

" A Stroll in the Park"



 I still love all of my Home Interiors pieces and I have many of the Victorian Lady figurines that they carried in their line.

Even the pictures on the wall behind the Entertainment Center fit  the "A Stroll in the Park" theme.....

It is a lovely Summer day and many of the Ladies have come to spend the day in the Park.......

Some have brought their children to ride the Carousel......


And to visit the Gazebo.....


 See the Gazebo , off in the distance??????

There it is!!

And I see one of the Ladies has already taken her daughter over to it......


It is such a beautiful day.....




I see a few have picked some flowers.....


 The Carousel is a popular attraction in the Park.....


The music coming from the Carousel soothes this young Mother's Baby to sleep......


Now she can lay him to sleep in the carriage.....


The other children love the brightly painted horses........


I purchased the Carousel at Sam's Club after Christmas one year. I really don't think it looked like a Christmas Carousel, do you?

The Clock was a Retirement gift to my MIL. She was afraid it would be broken by the many grandchildren and great grandchildren that are always at her house so she gave it to me.....

























Can you see the Carousel horses inside the clock?


When the clock strike the hour, it plays music and the horses move up and down!


And there is another Carousel Horse for the Children to ride when they visit the Park!!




  The sun is quite bright so you better put up your parasol so you do not get sun burned.....

After all, a sun tan was not fashionable in those days!!


You can see those children are anxious to ride the Carousel as they tug on their Mother......

Or maybe you would like to sit a spell on the park bench?


Remember the aqua mercury glass candle sticks I bought after Christmas for a little over $2.00 each???


On top of each of them is an ornament that I also bought after Christmas on Clearance......


There are woods that border the Park.....


And many of the shrubs are in full bloom....

Can you see them?????


Here's a better view......

Aren't the colors lovely?????


This and the other Carousel snow globe was bought at a Flea Market......

And the lamps were bought at Salvation Army!!


The Sun is starting to go down and dusk is falling on the Park......


What a great day was had by all!!


The Light Posts are now on and it is getting dark.....




Nightfall casts a pretty glow on the Park.....








But it is time to hurry home and feed the children their Dinner.....




And  tuck them all into their beds where they will dream about their Day in the Park!!

Wouldn't you just love to spent a day taking "A Stroll in The Park "?????
