My heart is full

It warms my heart to see my son (the guy that NEVER wanted children) with his son.

And this little fella has my heart!! ♡

On my hands and knees

Call me old-fashioned.. but I like to wash my floors on my hands and knees.
I do use a sponge mop once in awhile, but I think to get your floors really clean you need to use a little elbow grease.

Ramdom.. Spring..

Aging Gracefully

My quest in life is to.... Age Gracefully!

It's going to be tough with all the damage and neglect I've put my body through throughout the years. But it has to be done.. I'm going to fight it all the way.

Staying warm

January

January started out very cold.... it also brought with it sad days. Hubby is working a different shift.  We spent the first half of our marriage on different shifts when the boys were young. When they grew and went their on ways we FINALLY got on the same shift.. it was nice to be able to spend every day together. (to be honest, at first I thought maybe we would drive each other nuts! lol) But it all worked out!
Although now, hubby took a new job and had to go to day shift.  It's a little lonely without him around. But it's only for a year... maybe!

To New Adventures

To.... new adventures in 2015

Hello Old Friend

My Blog.....It's been so long since I've been in here that I almost couldn't find you.  New Laptop didn't have you book marked, no short cuts.. nothing!  The panic was starting to set in, but then... I found you!
And all I can say is.... Hello Old Friend... I have missed you!

It's almost been a year since my last post. And a lot has happened in that year. I will try to catch you up on it all.

My Blog.... When I even think of you I think of a nice warm cup of tea on a chilly day pouring my heart out to you.

 

Life is going by so fast... I feel the need to slow down and catch my breath.
So I come to you my old friend where I feel the warmth and peace...away from the fast paced Social media  that I am so addicted to.  The whole world is addicted to. It's sad really, but that's what it has come to these days.
So, I'm glad I have you to turn to... just being here is making me feel better already!
Everyone should have an old friend like you to come to.

My Blog.... I Love You!

Random Pictures and quotes from 2013

I'm posting random pictures and quotes that I like, and have collected over the year! 

 

 

 

Drab to Shappy Chic

I've had the same Bamboo plant for about 10 years now, and I think it's been in the same Hurricane Vase just as long . And boy, it is looking nasty!

It's my own fault though.. I have gotten lazy over the years. Not cleaning it as I use to do.

 

So, I thought about just getting a new Dark Vase (dark would help hide the water marks that comes with lack of cleaning) but I could not find one in the same size.

I thought about painting the vase, but I was unsure what color to paint it.

Then I thought of my beloved burlap, and a plan formed.

Burlap, and burlap ribbon...

Ta Da....

An easy way to hide a nasty vase!

Next project.. Burlap Candles ;)

An Earl Grey Day (Ponderings)

Why is it that this time of the year I feel the need to be crocheting, sewing or crafting. Like I should be preparing for the winter. Stocking the wood pile. Darn the socks.. haha
It's almost like "Nesting" but I'm clearly not pregnant!

Maybe it's the season. That little nip in the air. That time when we bring the crops in.  (One's heart never leaves the farm)

"Autumn"

One of my Favorite seasons! Love the smell of Autumn/fall. Love Pumpkins, corn stocks, Mums and Apples...

and...Layers! Oh yes, layers of cute cozy clothes

 

Now I feel the need to shop for Layers.

Have a Good Autumn!

Lazy chilly Days with the Earl of Grey

Cooler days is upon us, and while the hubby kicks back to watch the game, I like to snuggle down with a good book, big fuzzy socks and oh... wine is nice too, but it would probably be a big cup of Earl Grey.

 

Now, if only I could find that perfect book.  It seems my taste in books are changing.. tired of romance. Don't care for Murder.

(we have enough of that (murder) in the real world)

 

Maybe I should go for a wholesome adventure.

(loved My Secret Garden)

 

So, it's my quest to find a good book.. and I better hurry because

it's "Game Day"

Go BUCKEYES!

 

Have a Great Day!

Barn Stars

So I finally tried my hand at making cardboard Barn Stars. I think they turned out pretty good!

New Tattoo for foot?  Maybe!

Changes

Well, it's time to upgrade my profile.. I'm not a 40-ish gal anymore.. I finally hit the BIG 5-0.  It sounds weird just saying 50.  I don't feel 50, and I certainly hope I don't look 50!
I Thank the Lord I made it this far, and I hope he gives me many more years.
It's just....Wow!
