CARBS, FRISBEE TOURNAMENT, AND MOHAWKS ~ and not in that order
This past weekend was full of fun and sweet memories! I don't know if I've told y'all but Son #3 is a Senior in high school and his year is coming to an end. I'm not new at this emotional ride. I've been through it twice but that doesn't mean it gets any easier […]
EASTER EGG NEST ~ that you eat!
How was everyone's Easter? Did you eat lots of food? Easter egg hunt? church? Ours was wonderful! We started off going to church on Saturday night.

MY BUCKET LIST ~ at least one wish
I have a dear friend! I have been blessed to call her my friend for over 25 years. We met when we were both orienting for a new job. I remember thinking the first time I saw her that she was "one of those girls". She was beautiful and smart and all […]
PLANS FOR THE LAUNDRY ROOM ~ and it isn’t doing a load
One of the projects on my TO DO LIST FOR 2014 is this laundry room. It's a generic, one wired shelf kind of laundry room. Nothing exciting or interesting. My plans are to use the upper cabinets of the kitchen cabinets we bought at the ReStore place for the family room bookcases seen here. These […]
FROM SPRING TO WINTER ~ wait…what?
A couple of days ago, my sweet daughter and I and our puppy took a long walk. It was a beautiful sunny day. We wore light jackets and ended up taking them off and wrapping them around our waists because it was so warm. What a beautiful day!! The birds were singing, the […]
