HILDA??? She always makes me smile!Looks like Hilda has some music to share with you all today....in her pink puff slippers!And maybe some veggies from her garden?Uh oh...looks like Hilda is ready for us to leave??

Yup, I'm outta here!! Don't want Hilda to hit me with that slingshot!!

Have a great Pink Saturday, I know Beverly at How Sweet the Sound will be a better hostess than Hilda!!! hahaha!!
