High Five Friday – 5.30.14
Thanks to Becky at bybmg.blogspot.com, I found out about this great linky where bloggers share five happy things from their week. I’ve been wanting to participate and I hope to continue. Through the summer I plan to share our joys from the lazy, crazy days of summer with our kids each Friday. Stay tuned and…

Read More Start 2014 Write – My Pen Pal
Do you love to get letters in the mail? So much of our mail is junk. Catalogs, credit card applications, political ads, and coupons arrive in my mailbox every day. Then there are the bills. No one likes getting bills in the mail. But, what I do get excited about is something that is hand…
Read More American Idol – Excited for the New Season
It has been awhile since I’ve been on the Americana Idol bandwagon. I frankly got a little tired of Simon’s rude suggestions and comments. Randy’s “dog” verbage was worn out. I couldn’t stand to watch or listen to Nicki Minaj. So, I rarely tuned in. But, this year, I plan watch and DVR it when…
Read More Page A Day Calendars – I Just Love Them!
I just love calendars that offer you something on each page. I can start my days with a quote, a laugh, a fact, a cute picture, pretty much anything you want in any category you are interested in. I usually have one in my bathroom so I can see it every morning and then the…
Read More Three Weeks
This has been the week to catch up on all those things I have been putting off. All summer I have been dealing with pain in my hands. My right hand has been painful for a few years off and on. I know I have the beginnings of arthritis and just figured it was something…
Read More Have You Tried Pinterest?
Have you joined the PINTEREST craze yet? If not, and you like being sucked into looking at neat crafts, delicious recipes, quotes, photography ideas, organizational strategies, gift ideas, fashion, etc. You get the idea. You can truly sit on there for hours. I have friends that refuse to even go to that website for that…
Read More Vacation Planning On the Mind
As school ends and summer begins, one of the things at the front of my mind is our family vacation. We are still trying to figure out where we are going to go. Chatting with my sister-in-law, Julie, she also is unsure of where they family will be traveling this summer. The planner in me…
Read More Too Busy to Write
The last few weeks have been especially busy and I don’t see a slow down in my future. We ended track season and are moving right into baseball season this week. At least this year the boys are on the same team. I spent last week substitute teaching and will finish my school year tomorrow…
Read More Prom Thoughts
This is my mom at her senior prom in 1956. Even though it isn’t very clear, it is still one of my favorite photos. There are so many parts of this photo that are classic 1950’s: the microphone, the dress, the backdrop, her glasses. I truly wish I would have grown up in that decade…
