Roses are a sure bet when someone wants to say "I love you"...I will never turn them down :) but it's that much sweeter when your Honey knows that something you have been wanting truly says "I love you" because it means he was really thinking about you. Ah the roses are bea…

Here are a few of the goodies I found on my last trip...you know ...when I went "up Nawth" past Atlanta? In the first picture only one of them is "new", the others I have had for some time. I love the way the potpourri looks (and smells) in them. Whenever I get roses I dry them …

Well they're off ! A two week trip to Montana, points North and back again. A happy re-union of comrades, brothers-in-arms...many reminisces, tall tales of daring do, harrowing tales of "we almost..." and "remember when..." I know they will have great fun. I will miss m…

See my lovely GrandDOGters and GrandPupsters? This was the merging of two families, my precious new daughter had the prairie dogs, Squeak and Pip and my dear son had Shiloh (left) and Loki. Loki is a grand old gal and has some trouble getting around. They were both on me like white on rice...Gr…

In just a bit I'm leaving...heading "up Nawth" for business and pleasure. I'm going to babysit my GrandDogters while my son and his sweetie take a vacation and will get plenty of shopping in too. I love these trips, get to visit with family, eat out a lot AND spend money. Sigh, i…

Ahhh, a day off is always nice. Here is how Willie and Wy spent the day ... well, the whole week-end actually. If you click on the pictures and enlarge them you can see them giving me the slightly raised eyelid which means "Sigh, puhleeze don't make me do cute, I'm napping." My …

This weekend we remember and honor the brave men and women who served our country. We decorate the graves of our fallen heroes and proudly display our flag on our homes and along our highways. In Columbus, Georgia on April 26, 1866 a group of women asked my Great-great- uncle, Col.…

My friend Jenny (Old Bag, New Tricks) is crafting a fabulous garden...well, a total retreat really. She has torn up a deck, built a wonderful garden arbour and is starting on a pond. You can check it all out on her blog...first link at right. You will be amazed at all she has done. And when she f…
