OK, that may sound a little off to you, however…
Take a peek at what I call my “babies”!
These truly are babies – ok…miniatures…they were a part of a basket from my Dad’s funeral. And on the off-chance that they’d grow outside, I plopped them in the dirt gently planted them. Read more
At least that’s what Patty M calls herself!
We chatted across the alley today as she raked leaves that kept blowing into my yard and I pulled the remnants of last years flowers.
She’s such a character…
We chatted about another neighbor who is more reserved and that’s when Patty said: “She’s not like me – I’m just plain nosy!”
Patty’s husband is quite a character too…
As we painted the house a few years ago, George would sit there in his chair and “supervise”.
I think I made him extremely nervous as I was perched up on our ladder to reach the eaves. Never so nervous that he couldn’t give me a hard time though!
This is what life’s all about…good neighbors, good friends, a little gentle razzing across the alley and more than a few laughs.
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.”
Have a blessed day!

I won’t be blogging for a couple of days, so I’d like to offer up a few things I’ve learned.
Life’s short..
Take time to rest (I know I will).
Breathe.
Take time to enjoy your family – young and old.
Ask questions of them. Listen to their stories. Write them down for future generations.
Find an antique or vintage piece and think about it’s past…think about how someone loved it so much they bought it and put it in a special place in their house. As my nephew who owns The Inventorialist in Indianapolis, IN says: “It’s lived an authentic life.” (See him at: http://www.theinventorialist.com/ Read more
It has to be!
The snow piles are shrinking (I think we’re down to 3 1/2 feet now)!
I think we even hit 35 degrees today!
You can almost see my vegetable garden again…
Tear off those North Face down-filled coats, breathe in that fresh air, and hang on Minnesotan’s…it’s almost here! Read more
They say a picture is worth a thousand words…
Let’s see just how true that is…
Oh the stories behind this picture…
First off, let’s start with the vintage toasters, which don’t show up very well in this pic. There’s a cute little scroll mark on the front.
I found them at the dump, with the cords cut off, and quickly snapped them up – putting them in our truck. As I write this, I laugh, thinking about the look on my husbands face. Read more
We try our best making daily decisions and yet sometimes....... Join my journey in learning how to "choose excellence" in this beautiful, full life. The Valley of Shadow of Death, Israel 2014, Psalm 23:4
Perhaps, I like this life.
