Thought I would share a few pics from my mom's front yard here in Sebring, Ohio. (There you go, Wayne---my location!) . The dogwood tree is not as pretty as it once was but it is still pretty spectacular and worth photographing! Using my new Lumix camera (thank you, Chris!) and happy with the way it takes pictures at this point. Had a great time in Lima with the Chiles side of the family and now it is the Brown side visit! I am so happy that I am able to do this at this point in my … [Read more...]

I admit it...I live in LaLa Land and usually it is a pretty nice place to live.   Little stress and few commitments that tie me down.  I am pretty much able to come and go as I please.  I live a simple life now---no soccer or football games to go to.  No music lessons or church youth group events to shuttle kids to and from.  I answer only to the demands of my husband .....no ...really.....that does not exist.  So....I continue my life along on a merry path of … [Read more...]

Today is my brother in law's birthday!!! Happy Birthday to him!!! Carl has been such a source of joy and happiness for our family and we are happy to celebrate his special day today!!! Hard to believe that he is now 41 (can that be right???) when the first time I met him he was only 9 years old!!! Carl gives great hugs, tolerates our teasing and loves Lee's Chicken!!! And probably the thing he loves most----working at Sam's Club where he is a valued, faithful and dedicated employee who … [Read more...]

Chris is off to Canada again and I got out all my mess to finish up these cards I want to send out before I leave for Ohio.  It is ridiculous what a mess I make when I do this but at least it is all contained to one room!    I try to start out to just have a few things out but by the end of the day I have every single pair of scissors, every sticker, every paper scrap, every ribbon, cutter, glue stick, glue dot, 3D adhesives, brads, etc, out in a very unorganized … [Read more...]

Occasionally I run across something that echos my sentiments. This writer from Mason City has similar requirements ---just like me---what she looks for in a hotel has changed over the years. Since we have stayed in some pretty fancy schmancy hotels over the past couple of years I have discovered that I have definite likes and dislikes and yes, I guess--expectations. I do love to have nice sheets ( and yes---I DO want both a top and bottom sheet) and the turn down service with chocolates on … [Read more...]

Bottle of 120 Target brand Claritin type pills (Bananas provided for perspective) Looking in the bottle you can tell it is filled up about 1/8th of the way --if that! The complete bottle of pills in the smallest of my set (can't remember what the heck you call them) One pill next to the bananas.....Well, it is one of those things that just drives me nuts!  Packaging that just does not fit the product.   I am fighting the allergies here and trying to find the perfect product that … [Read more...]

I have been quiet on the blog this week.....just haven't really felt like blogging I guess but it has been a good, full week here in Mason City.   Been trying to get some cards made to send to Operation Write Home (only got about 25 made before I had to pack them up to show the house and haven't gotten it all back out yet), helped a woman connected with the church pack up some of her apt. for a move and attended one day of training for Hospice.   That was a good … [Read more...]
