More Than A Song

It’s Monday and I’ve had such a long weekend……seeing lots of family, friends, Mother’s day and a graduation all rolled into one! Had a great time but I’m so tired I can’t see straight, much less even try to plan meals for the week! But I’m kinda, sorta trying and it all might change as […]

For years my husband has used these black ink pens, we call them Uni-Ball pens because that’s what is written on the cap but not sure you can see that in this pic. For some reason I have never liked them. Don loves them though and he keeps them with him at all times. But […]

Annie tagged me for this meme/survey that’s making the rounds in the blogsphere. It’s rather long so I randomly left some off, oops! If you want to see the longer version, check Annie’s post here…….other people have done this one as well so you might see it floating around. I won’t tag anyone but would […]

Years ago one Christmas, our youngest 2 children got a puppy and a kitty from Santa! That story is another one all on it’s own but for another day maybe. Elizabeth’s little kitty had kittens about 6-8 months after she got her! She would have loved to keep them all but I already thought the […]

That doesn’t mean I have to like them though, does it? Because I’m really not a “critter” person, don’t like lots of them & wish they would leave my house alone! We worked in the yard a while late Saturday afternoon and again Sunday afternoon before night church. Both days we had an unwelcome guest […]

Another Monday and time to plan for the week. Thanks Laura for hosting us…..I think we all enjoy seeing what others are cooking and getting new recipes to try! Sunday………Deer tenderloin, couscous, baby peas Monday……..leftovers for hubby, I’m going to a mother-daughter banquet with SIL and MIL at her church Tuesday……..Hamburgers, we bought tickets for […]

Got more than a letter yesterday, got a package in the mail! With a book in it! I won one of the books that Katrina has been giving away at her place lately. The title of this one is Lost in NashVegas, by Rachel Hauck….a new to me author and book. I might need to […]

I was tagged by Coach J for this meme to tell 7 random things about myself! I’ve done something very similar before and it’s hard to think of new things to use so some of this won’t be new to you. After checking out the people that Coach J tagged I saw that Annie had […]

When we took our recent road trip with friends, one brought along a snack mix to eat that included almonds. We got to talking about nuts and the fact that they are good for you, heart healthy too. I think it should just be a little handful a day, like 7-10 almonds maybe. I’ve been […]

I’m participating in the Spring reading challenge hosted by Katrina and thought I’d better do an update post before it completely slips my mind! My list of books for this can be found in this post and I kept my list shorter this time around. The first two I finished were Colorado Weddings by Joyce […]

I don’t have any roses and am not a very good gardener at all. But I usually do ok with having some flowers and plants in pots around the house. My kids gave me some urns one year for Mother’s day and I had trouble keeping things alive in them because I think the concrete […]
