More Than A Song

I get lots of Christmas cards each year, and I absolutely LOVE the photo ones! I hang them up on the doorways in my den where we can look at them and I usually leave them up into January because I keep getting cards for several weeks after Christmas….I even got one last week! I […]

That would be me, in case you can hear me! I’ve been having to check every day to see about reporting to jury duty and the notice this weekend said that we were excused and didn’t have to report again. Now I can actually plan something for the rest of the month! I think that’s […]

It started off good, the sun was shining this morning and it wasn’t freezing cold! But the clouds are rolling back so I don’t think I can trust this weather; it looks like we’re gonna get more rain today and tomorrow, ugh. We had church last night so had to tivo the Super Bowl but […]

I’ve seen several of you do this love/hate meme floating around but instead of doing it, I’ll just tell you the new thing I’m most in love with at the moment! Last month hubby got tivo* for our tvs! I think ours might technically be called dvr but I think it works the same and […]

“you don’t have to be my baby” I do believe I’ve forgotten to show you my new ride! It’s not a mustang, although I’ve often thought if I ever had a second car to buzz around in a mustang could be fun. 😆 My kids have been telling me for a long time that I […]

“these are a few of my favorite……..” Pictures from Christmas! I’ve got so many, it’s hard to decide which ones to show. In case you don’t want to be bored I’ll put them on the extended page; click through if you’re so inclined and have a few minutes. 🙂

Indeed it was a wonderful time for us this past week or so, having our kids home and much family and friends in and out to visit! A very good way to end the year. The last of them left last night. On Christmas day I think there were 16 people here to eat, open […]

“You sing a sad song just to turn it around” At least I got my walking done Thursday morning, that probably helped more than I’ll ever know! Had an eye doctor appointment right afterwards that actually went pretty good too, pressure was fine and everything else was good. But then hubby’s phone went completely blank […]

I’m still here, I think I’m alive and kicking but just knee deep into everything! I’m sewing the red jumpers and finding it harder to do long distance than I thought; I worry about getting it sized to fit the girls. But I finished one today and I’m so excited, it turned out sooo cute! […]

Yo mama, that’s who! Elizabeth came home over the Thanksgiving break; had lots of studying to do, visiting family, sleeping, laundry etc. One of the last things I think she washed was her Easter dress from this past spring. She put it in my machine on the hand wash setting Sunday afternoon and then fell […]

We don’t always get a lot of the spectacular fall colors that other parts of the country get, (maybe because we’re a little too far south) and this year the color has seemed slow in coming. We haven’t had a ton of cool weather so that might have something to do with it. But I […]

A few months ago I bought a new coffeemaker…..my kids that were home visiting told me I needed a newer one, one that could be programmed the night before. So I did get a new one; Stacy kindly took me to Sam’s and I bought one just.like.hers., because she says I want to be just […]

“A purple sky to close the day, I wade the surf where dolphins play, The taste of salt, the dance of waves…And my soul wells up with hallelujahs” I was listening to this on my ipod yesterday while walking and remembered this picture I’d taken a little while back. It’s not great photography because it’s […]

Several of you commented that you wanted to see what I bought when I went shopping last week. I’m sad to say that I found nothing, absolutely nothing! I had a great time being with Stacy and going in different stores but for some reason I just couldn’t find anything worth getting. We went to […]
