What Dreams Are Made Of. ♥

@mcpoopoo,

RIP we will never forget you ever. ♥ In my heart always. ♥

Dear Sheba;

Uncertain weather brings proactive actions. You are wise to get what you need and see to your health.

We got the cutest car seat for Ari. He can sit up and see where we are. He can climb our of it but he can climb right back in. There is a hook that attaches to his harness. I like taking him with us but it can be unnerving because it is another thing to think about. I also worry about people coming up to him. He is my little rescue fellow and I have to protect him at all costs.

Tonight we will drop him off at chloe’s For a few hours and pick him up thereafter.

Enjoy the evening.

Auntie Aim.

Mariah Carey
“Butterfly”

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It’s easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands
And watch you rise

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage to be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me
When you’re ready to land

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I can’t pretend these tears aren’t overflowing steadily
I can’t prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you’ll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

So flutter through the sky
Butterfly… fly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Cherie,

You are so right when it comes to what you eat. I worked out and I really get those
endorphins to move and I feel great. This is once a year on those chocolate strawberries.

Lent starts on March 6th. ♥ This year is moving fast. Hey enjoy the family for the weekend.

I am going to spin some tunes later me and hubby have a project we are working on. 🙂
My hubby is very handy with tools too. ♥

Shout out to your mom. ♥ We are going to extreme weather this evening it is really going to
be cold. There were pile ups with cars yesterday and trucks were in ditches to keep from
sliding you would not like our winter. What summer we do extreme summer the type that
you really cannot enjoy being outdoors long. This is not my forever home just home for now.

@kittengirl,

I hope you are feeling a lot better. If you are extremely busy doing your thing keep on
going. Just giving you a shout out. Kisses to the kittens. 🙂

@bichon18,

Today I went out very early and got some things I needed before this evening.
We have another blast coming and another coming the first of the week.

I have some doctor’s appt. I need to check on because things will be closed down again.
I have a teeth cleaning I want to get out of the way and Lab Works. 🙂

Very cold day hubby is home I went out and Poppy had a fit. Oh while I was out I saw
a dog with poppy coloring and was in it’s owner’s car sitting like a perfect gentlemen.
I told my husband we need to take Poppy with us. Hubby was not happy to hear that
but I reminded him happy wife happy life. ♥

Hope you, Jerry and little Ari have a wonderful day. 🙂

Born Iris Barrel in Astoria, Queens, New York, Apfel is the only child of Samuel Barrel, whose family owned a glass-and-mirror business, and his Russian-born wife, Sadye, who owned a fashion boutique. Both were Jewish.

She studied art history at New York University and attended art school at the University of Wisconsin

As a young woman, Apfel worked for Women’s Wear Daily and for interior designer Elinor Johnson. She also was an assistant to illustrator Robert Goodman.

On Feb 22, 1948, she married Carl Apfel (born Aug 4, 1914 – died Aug 1, 2015). Two years later, they launched the textile firm Old World Weavers and ran it until they retired in 1992. From 1950 to 1992, Iris Apfel took part in several design restoration projects, including work at the White House for nine presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton.

Through their business, the couple began traveling all over the world where she began buying pieces of non-Western, artisanal clothes. She wore these clothes to clients’ high-society parties.

In 2016, she performed in a television commercial for the French car DS 3,[6] and was the face of Australian brand Blue Illusion. In March 2016, Apfel announced a collaboration with technology startup WiseWear on an upcoming line of Smart Jewelry.I n 2018 she published a book entitled Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon.

In 2019, at the age of 97, she signed a modeling contract with global agency.

On September 13, 2005, The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York premiered an exhibition about Iris Apfel’s style entitled Rara Avis (Rare Bird): The Irreverent Iris Apfel. It was the museum’s first time showcasing an exhibit about clothing and accessories focused on a living person who wasn’t a designer.[10] The success of the exhibition, curated by Stéphane Houy-Towner,[11] prompted an initial traveling version of the exhibit at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida,[12] the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn Harbor, New York, and later at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.[13]

The Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History in Boynton Beach, Florida, is designing a building that will house a dedicated gallery of Apfel’s clothes, accessories, and furnishings.

Advisory and academic roles
At age 90 in 2012, Apfel was a visiting professor at University of Texas at Austin.

Apfel consults and lectures about style and other fashion topics. In 2013, she was listed as one of the fifty “Best-Dressed over 50” by The Guardian.
