#122…Where Have the Years Gone To?

Twenty five years old holding my 3rd child. Today, my grandchildren are holding their babies, though those great grandbabies will be approaching their pre-teen years within 3+ years. Wow! So much to do…but it is so funny, I find the older I get, the more I have to do. There doesn’t seem anyway to simplify Read more about #122…Where Have the Years Gone To?[…]

#121…OMG! I’m Back!

I really don’t know what happened with my blog, having been diagnosed as a double identity, but after calling Jetpack, they must have fixed me.  So here am I, ready to tell my stories.

#119…’Twas The Night Before…

‘Twas the night before dawn…And quiet through the house…The news was blasting, the coffee was on…..Hub side-kick was tucked, asleep in the bed…The morning was mine, a delight to be had… When outside the window, came a horrible crash. A cow mooed. First light showed, no cow had strayed…Mr. got up, to the basement he Read more about #119…’Twas The Night Before…[…]

#118…The Lying Grip of Fear.

This is a hard one. We’ve had a tuff year with Russ getting sick. Was out on a trip to Grand Island Neb in April and the doctor’s office called and said he had pneumonia and to get medicine.

#116…HOSTAS have left the Building

I recovered from my exasperation with having planted stuff in the wrong places, picked up my shovel and transformed the 1st flower plot.

#115…I’ll Bring the Wine…Partying at the Mammogram!

I’m minding my own business and changing into this cool one size fits all “cape” for my annual exam at Mosaic Health Care Plaza 1 Mammogram Dept. Would I mind if it would be a teaching event with an instructor and students? Well…..sure…. why not?

#114…Night Time Ambience on the Garage Sale Patio

Took all summer to put this together, but we sure had a good time playing cards. I forgot to lay out a very brilliant gaudy turquoise multi-color round rug…we’ll catch it another time. I especially love my lamp with the shadeless lamp shade. $2 at a garage sale and 30 minutes to strip it! ! Read more about #114…Night Time Ambience on the Garage Sale Patio[…]

It’s all in the magazines! I have often said, you need to fill your mind with new things, ALL THE TIME ! ! !  Are you bored? Go read some magazines in things that trip your trigger.

#111…Fill the Feeders and THEY will Come!

“Stef, come here NOW! QUICK!” Hub side kick NEVER shows excitement, ever…… but when I saw his eyeballs about to pop, I flew off the recliner with unbelievable speed. OMG! That feeder was put together by Russ, and if you notice, we are talking a huge dining room chandelier! That Cooper Hawk was stunning, beautiful Read more about #111…Fill the Feeders and THEY will Come![…]
