As soon as you walk in the door, it just clicks. I love how you've decorated your porch. It looks great.

I highly recommend the Southern Carribean in April, it was so wonderful, we didn't want to go home!!! <br />I'd love to hear more about your Alaskan cruise! I've heard it's breath taking!<br />But of course there's no place like home... Your porch looks really cozy and I love the potted plant and orb. <br />But... Wow! I REALLY love what you did with your chipped china, it's just adorable and very artistic looking!! I'm a big fan of blue and white china.<br /><br />So glad I stopped by to visit!<br />~Sherri:)Sharing with Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966672285631604242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29177930.post-24575415266120881622011-06-14T22:16:23.413-04:002011-06-14T22:16:23.413-04:00my friends Dick & Karen were on a cruise in Al...my friends Dick & Karen were on a cruise in Alaska too, wouldn't that be wierd if you were on the same one!
