Boy does that sound like a sappy title or what?Β Yes, well, sometimes you just have to go with it.
The snow has been falling beautifully all day, adding up to a couple of inches on the ground.Β It makes me want to go out and make a snow angel.

The best laid plans….
I had great plans for writing a blog every day.Β And then life got in the way this week.
I think I even talked about it in my last post…ah, yes – “Tomorrow we’ll talk more about my Christmas decoration addiction”.Β See?Β I did have great plans.Β Well a few tomorrows later, here I am!!!
Let’s talk Christmas decorations…
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!Β I love everything about the season!Β Finding the perfect present, the gift wrapping, the baking, the music, the decorating β oh the decorating.
Hello, my name is Patty and Iβm a Christmas-decoration-aholic.
My husband was not supposed to buy me a Christmas gift this year.Β You see I’d purchased myself a fabulous ring at one of our local festivals and it was supposed to be my Christmas gift (never mind that I wore it already in September).Β Β But honestly,Β I truly wanted nothing more.Β Did he listen?Β No.
The man doesn’t listen.Β I swear he never listens to me when it comes to gift giving.Β That would be one of his few flaws.Β I really, really, really didn’t want him to get me anything.Β With that being said… Read more
I love this little area on my wall…
The vintage kitchenΒ tools somehow remind me of my Mom…she didn’t own these particular ones, and only had a few similar, but somehow they remind me of her.Β I think it’s the red handles.Β She loved red and I love vintage.Β Needless to say I had to have these.
The top two pictures are of my Dad as a little boy (on the left), and my Mom as a little girl (on the right).Β I love these photos and the innocence they represent.Β Simple pictures of aΒ little boy going fishing and a little girl playing with her dollies.Β Beautiful snapshots of themΒ enjoying the things they loved – and continued to love through adulthood!Β Dad loved to fish and Mom loved babies.Β The stories I could tell… Read more
As I sit here writing my first blog, I am eating a piece of my daughterβs twelfth birthday cake and having a cup of Vanilla Cream decaf coffee, and itβs 6:07 a.m.Yes, I am a thankfully imperfect woman.Β I am a part of the middle class. A family raising, comic strip living, ever-grateful, Christian woman whoβs main goal in life is to find something wonderful in every single day.
I have an incredible husband who I credit as my gift from God, I have three girls who are all growing up faster than their Momma would like (and who Iβm very proud of), and I have my lifeβ¦such as it is with my version of health issues.Β Iβve had my version of hard knocks in life, Iβve lived the βI have to be perfect for everyoneβ life, and Iβm here living in the NOW for me and my family.
