Amore, Linguine and Me

I've finally taken down the Christmas tree with Rocky sitting on the couch over seeing the project.
This year I packed the decorations away properly with the tinsel, bead trim, lights and decorations all individually bagged. 
When the boxes are unpacked next December I won't have to spend four hours untangling everything!!!...

I have this thing for flamingos. 
It started when I was about 12 years old.
I was looking through a National Geographic magazine and there was a magnificent two page photo feature of a flock of flamingos. 

My coffee table sits in the middle of our living room. 
It's surrounded by three couches placed in a U formation with the TV filling the fourth side.
It's like the central hub of the house.

Last night I asked my son if he could help me make a banner heading for my revamped blog and he said no worries.
He use to be a web designer so I knew that he could do something great in no time at all.
Instead he looked at what I had done so far and as nicely as possible said "Mum, we can do better than this.You have over 30,000 views so it's time to get serious!"...
