I totally skipped over 2020 here on my blog, but unfortunately, as most everyone, I pretty well just got through 2020 day by day, and did the best I could. I am starting this year with new goals and aspirations. Updating and continuing my blog is one that is important to me and at the […]

It’s 2021 and I’m back.

From the first time that I told Frank that I wanted to do a pergola on the back of the house, it was a battle.  I had planned since last November to have a bridal shower here for my daughter Kasie, and wanted to have it under a pergola.  Frank, in no way was in […]

The Pergola

I don’t know about you, but March is definitely one of my most favorite months, especially this year.  This winter has been very long and very cold, and I am over it.  Anyone that knows me, knows that I do not like the cold, at all!  When it’s cold outside, I am not motivated to […]

It was a magical […]

Living in the Projects

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.
