Obviously I have lost my mind! How could I have chosen this rug to base my whole palette on? What was I thunking? Thank God that Russ is not saying a word.

The remodel is done. Now the color palette is coming together. Awaiting the arrival of the “rug”…..8 ft. round. The colors could awaken the dead.

#124…Saying Goodbye to a 10 Year Run…

I HATE CHANGE! Today, a few moments ago, I shut down my eBay store, tt SECOND GO ROUND by teptithings13. It was a great ride!

#123…I Messed Up! Can I Be FORGIVEN?

Well, I did the big one this time and have hurt people’s feelings for which, I am truly sorry.

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!

‘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.

#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.
