Oh I had a LAZY day yesterday, and it was SOOOO good. I bought a new patio set after our old one was destroyed by flooding in late April. This set is so much nicer! I trimmed the oak tree to make canopy so we could sit in the shade. I’m trying to force myself [...]

Back From Virginia
May 16, 2011
I’m back! I told you I needed a vacation. On very short notice (but in the works for the past ten years), I finally got to visit my brother in Virginia. It was WONDERFUL!!! Oh, it is so good to be back home again (especially after a 10 hour drive, ugh), but we were so [...]
Truth Be Told…
April 15, 2011
Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Candace Cameron Bure is starring in Truth Be Told, the latest movie for Family Movie Night! That’s so very cool! Family Movie Night is a special mission from the folks at WalMart and P&G to bring more family-friendly movies to television (yay!). I’ve mentioned some of the movies before, [...]
Meet Me on Monday #39
March 20, 2011
Are you ready, folks?! Monday hits the Northern Hemisphere once again! And this time, it’s a little different- SPRING is upon us! Sunday night at 7:20pm or so, to be exact. And I am so glad to see it come. Questions: 1. What jewelry do you wear 24/7? None! Not even my wedding ring. Sad, [...]
I STILL Can’t Decide on a Car!
February 6, 2011
Well, we are FINALLY crawling our way toward THINKING about a decision to get a new car. In case you didn’t know, we have an ailing Dodge Caravan minivan. I loved that van, but it was used as a postal vehicle for a while (Hubs is a rural carrier, and up until a few months [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine. I know! I know! I’ve been putting it off for several years! Yesterday, I promised my kids that we WILL go on a vacation this year. We WILL. I must make sure I keep this promise. [...]
My Netflix Movie Recruitment: The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry
December 9, 2010
Netflix kept “recommending” this movie called The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry, based on other movies I liked. The cover of the DVD didn’t catch my eye at first. It has a photo of a smiling old guy (Gavin McLeod) with a bunch of boys. Maybe it was a movie about fishing or skateboarding. *yawn* I [...]
If You Could Go Anywhere, Where Would You Go?
November 5, 2010
I was perusing some travel sites of late (the only travel I’ve been doing these days), and someone asked that question. Hmmm. :thinky: choices, choices. If money was no object, I’d go to Greece. I LOVE LOVE Greek food. I would go there for the food and the glorious scenery. The perfect vacation would be [...]
Nation’s Oldest Family Farm Up for Sale
August 4, 2010
Holy cow. LITERALLY, hahahah!!! :blink: OK I calm down now. This story at Boston.com is both tragic and befuddling. (I’d copy and paste a section of the news story, but I don’t want to get sued for doing so- so you’ll have to go see for yourself). In a nutshell, a family in New Hampshire [...]
