Just a shout out to my kids for design­ing this new header for my blog!! Wow…it is beau­ti­ful and shows you the beau­ti­ful coun­try around us. Jeal­ous any­one? Thanks, thanks thanks!!And while I am thank­ing peo­ple on this thanks­giv­ing weekend…a small apol­ogy to all those present at our won­der­ful Thanks­giv­ing feast for me blub­ber­ing over […]

I have decided the rea­son we have kids, and then, hope­fully grand­kids, is so that we remem­ber to laugh. My best and most full­fill­ing laughs have always been at the most inno­cent remarks of kids, before they are prepped by the world, influ­enced by TV, learn prej­u­dice. As they learn their way in the world, […]

It’s time I admit­ted a truth. I have an addic­tion to new boxes of crayons. I am pow­er­less over a box of crayons. Don’t let me any­where near a box of 64…I will buy it. Is there any­thing that trans­ports one back to school, kinder­garten, and life when it was sim­ple more then open­ing a […]

Today my top pri­or­ity is get­ting out the posters for the upcom­ing “Feather Party” at our local Legion. Every year I won­der at the “title” for this lit­tle get together but appar­ently it is the thing to do as a fund raiser around here for all the local legion posts. Since some are closer than […]

This has been one of those days where I am shak­ing my head going “Is it me? Because all the peo­ple I have been in con­tact with today can­not really be as crazy as they are mak­ing me. It must be me” Good grief. I will write more tomorrow…maybe my head will be back where […]

All is right with the world. A week­end I spent with my hus­band, see­ing all of my kids and their sig­nif­i­cant oth­ers, good weather and a great big dose of smil­ing, chirp­ing, grow­ing before my very eyes grand­baby. Life is good, or as Ijah would exclaim…shriek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t know how I missed it but I did…when did the for­mer repub­li­can VP donate her clothes and to whom? Any­one? Any­one? Searched some news sites but couldn’t find it. Oh wait, she had the govenors con­ven­tion to go to and then the holidays…must be after that? And I per­son­ally have to thank the former […]

Does any­one else get as much enjoy­ment as I do wait­ing to see what dec­o­ra­tions Google will put on their name for dif­fer­ent events and hol­i­days? Elec­tion day it was vot­ing curtains…veterans day it was the hats of dif­fer­ent services…or didn’t you notice? Maybe it is because I sign out every night and turn everything […]

Just would like to give a huge HOORAH to all of our vet­er­ans, old and young, retired and still fight­ing. A mil­lion thank-you’s hardly begin to cover what you have done and our doing to pro­tect us. Know that we truly do care about what you are doing and the sac­ri­fices you are mak­ing especially […]

Okay. Promise this will be the last elec­tion post I do. I think. Unless some­thing else really pisses me off. Cou­ple things.…First…can I just say that my old­est daugh­ter, 4 years ago after hear­ing Obama’s speech at the con­ven­tion, asked me if I had heard it ( I had not) and told me that I […]
