Holiday Fun at Southern Homes and Gardens

On the holiday (MLK Jr. Day) Rob and I went out to Southern Homes and Gardens on the Wetumpka Highway.  They have the most beautiful things there.  I really love all their plants.  

Isn't this pretty?!

They had their remaining Christmas decorations 75% off.  We bought several things and they were such a deal!  I can't wait to use them next Christmas (God willing).  

Rob saw this and wanted it for his garage.  He's going to put it up over his beloved 100 year old green sofa that I cannot convince him to give up.  

Bodhi just wanted to play on the holiday.  He loves for us to throw the rope and for him to run and get it.  He is so much fun!

This day in January 2011 was also Dr. Robert Bentley's inauguration as Alabama's next governor.  

Rob Celebrates a Great Birthday

I made reservations for a surprise birthday lunch at the Springhouse Restaurant.  

Rob was happy to be at this beautiful place and so was I. 

We sat upstairs and this was the view from up above.  

I was so thankful to spend Rob's special day with him. 

What Rob ordered. 

What I ordered.  It was the best hamburger I think I've ever had.  

Rob loves this little thing with salt and pepper in it.  

The view from outside.  It is so pretty.  

We stopped at the lake on the way back from lunch and Rob took little Bodhi for a walk.  

Time for presents.... :-)

 A new coat for the cold winter. 

Bodhi helping to watch over Rob's gifts.

A new sweater.  I love blue on Rob.  

A new Amazon Kindle.  This is what Rob had asked for.  I hope he really enjoys it!

Rob requested an ice cream birthday cake.  It was a big hit but it was way toooooo messy.  

Bodhi thinking, "Can you help a doggie out?"
