Almost through the "Roots" series...

We had gone to the library not long ago and as we were leaving we saw the VHS tapes of the series "ROOTS" and my husband commented that he would like to watch that again so this past weekend we could only check out four of the six volumes so today, I took the first four back and we will finish up...

Renovation continuing but there are some things I can work on...

during the weekend. I will put some of the things back in the master bath but we are still not finished but the sanding and dust stirred up is finished for that room. Then come Monday, he will start sanding the cabinets in the other bath and so I must get ready for him; pulling out all the things... Sign in to see full entry.

The fumes are still in the house...

after the carpenter has done some of the "damage"! No, not really. It is time to update the bathrooms and I thought I would start on our bath and though, we had used this carpenter before, I wanted to see what kind of work he did on the staining/painting. It will all unfold like layers of a onion... Sign in to see full entry.

A Mother’s Reflection...

You were a gift to me. As a mother I treasure all those times we had as mother and daughter. I reflect back on many of the good times and laugh again at some of the silly and fun times we had. I know we had some bad times, too. They were there for a reason to teach us how to become stronger in... Sign in to see full entry.

In Love and War...

I watched a movie last evening; it was a rainy day and not much to do so we trotted off to Starbucks and had coffee & blueberry muffins. Then on to the library to check out some movies. He got three westerns and I decided on a romantic one called "In Love and War". It actually was a true story of... Sign in to see full entry.

One in three I've been told will have it...

Shingles, that is. I recently inquired about getting the shingles vaccine as a preventive measure. I had heard there was a vaccine but never got around to doing anything about it...but the one who spurred me on was an elderly lady in our church whom I found out had gotten the shingles and because...

Hey! I shouted to the kid and then marched over to give him a piece ...

of my mind! Yesterday was the day our church goes to the park and has services and a lunch. We've been doing that every year for awhile now. After we had eaten, then of course, the grandkids wanted to go play on the new playground that our town has. It was built in two phases; one about 5 years ago... Sign in to see full entry.

I told him, “If she’s dead, I’ll never have another one!”………...

Well, the thing that we had hoped to avoid happened yesterday. Bailey, our kitten, had developed a habit of going straight to the four-wheeler and getting up under the seat or engine when we would put her in the garage as we left the house. We had even told our grandson just last week to be sure he... Sign in to see full entry.

I received an E-card and something else on my special day...

from my sister; my only sister, now. It was a card with flowers popping up, then lady bugs on the leaves with a butterfly flying all around lighting on each flower. Then popping up next was the birthday cake; all decorated up and then came the candles to add to the party! "Have a Birthday as... Sign in to see full entry.

Having the right attitude...

Well, how many of us can relate to this in any situation? Just to give you some examples: 1.) the prescription in the computer, on my husband's medication, was the wrong strength. It was entered 5mg. instead of 20mg. There were two prescriptions out there that the insurance wouldn't pay until we... Sign in to see full entry.
