Frank and I have always loved Christmas, especially when the house was full of kids.  My favorite tradition that our family has, is to go to a Christmas Eve candlelight church service and then have dinner at Waffle House and tip our server big.  It’s such a special feeling, being with your family and celebrating the […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Yes, we were THOSE parents that took our kids out to roll yards every year at Halloween. I don’t remember at what age or exactly who introduced me to rolling yards, but I do know, for many years of my life, I have loved rolling yards or taking our kids out rolling. There was a […]

It was bound to happen sooner or later. 

One Saturday morning, we looked out of our back window and saw this large group of white pelicans fly into our little cove and begin fishing.  I slipped down and zoomed in my camera and filmed them swimming all bunched up together, and watched as others flew in and joined them. It was a magical […]

Living in the Projects

God is an amazing artist and I am so thankful that we are blessed to see this beautiful sunset and I am grateful that we are able to enjoy the beauty that he creates.  It seems as though I am always decorating or designing something.  If I am not physically putting something together, I am […]

It’s in the Details

There was a time that I got excited, looked forward to, and even enjoyed heading out for a day of shopping. I’m not sure when that changed. Maybe it was one of the shopping trips when I spent hours with a teenage daughter in a dressing room while she was having a meltdown, because nothing […]

Shop Till You Drop

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve found time to write.   During that time, things have been moving along sort of like the tortoise, slow and steady.  But life still happens and you have to make time for family, work, and everything that comes along with it.   When doing the demo on the […]

Blessings on and in our house.

To say that Frank is afraid of snakes, is a huge understatement.  I don’t like them either, and avoid them at all cost, but I don’t think about them or look for them when I’m outside just walking around.  Frank, on the other hand, is constantly looking, thinking, talking about, and telling me what I […]

To Zero Turn or Not to Zero Turn?

My favorite bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6.  Trust in Jehovah with all they heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths. Frank and I aren’t the most “religious” people you will meet, but our relationship with our heavenly father comes first and is […]

Keeping my eye on the prize.

As a realtor, I have the pleasure of sitting at the closing table with my buyers and sellers as they sell or buy one of the biggest purchases/investments that they will make in their lifetime.  Sometimes, they are excited, happy, or nervous, and maybe all three.  It’s always fun and heartwarming to see my buyers […]

The start of something good.
