I think I’m getting over my deli counter intimidation. At least I hope so. There’s just something about clean glass counters covering rows of meat in front of people whose job is to ask “Can I help you?” that bothers me.
Sometimes I feel like, “Sorry to bother you, but would you please get [...]

One of the perks of my husband working for a railroad is free rides. This time we rode the caboose.
They just painted the engine. Doesn’t it look spiffy? It’s from 1941 and the caboose is from 1942. Pieces of history.
This is one of the seats where the men riding the caboose [...]

Yesterday I received this bracelet in the mail. You may ask where and how I got this lovely, customized, just-my-size bracelet. Even if you don’t ask I’m going to tell you.
Chel at Chasing Contentment ordered a Jendi Jean Bag made from her daughter’s jeans.
These are what she sent me.
When someone gives [...]

My first award is called the Arte Y Pico award and it “was created/made to [...]

Do you ever smile while you are reading a book? My husband caught me smiling at That’s (Not Exactly) Amore by Tracey Bateman.
The heroine Laini Sullivan is an unconfident, slightly heavy, red-headed, thirty year old living in Manhattan. She is studying to be an interior designer, but selling baked goods on the side. [...]

My husband figured out that the way he was dressed affected how much service he got at Home Depot/Lowe’s.
When he went shopping and looked like a contractor dressed in his jeans, t-shirt, and boots he hardly ever got asked if he needed help.
Then he went shopping on a business lunch break dressed in a button [...]

This week my husband bought me 2 living things and some chocolate. The chocolate is history so that’s not worth mentioning…except it might still be hanging on around my waist.
He bought me some pretty flowers “just because.” Do you like getting flowers “just because?” Does it make you feel like a stinker [...]

What do a thirteen year old boy, a special forces veteran, and a retired missionary lady have in common? They are main characters in Davis Bunn’s new book All Through the Night.
Wayne, the young veteran is the main character, but I like to think that Victoria, the missionary lady, is the heroine. As [...]

Time once again for Show & Tell at Kelli’s!
The Vacation Bible School Theme this year was “It’s a Jungle Out There!” So we turned the auditorium into a jungle. Sort of.
These pictures are the sides of the platform.
The following slide is of some posters that I made to hang around the seating area.
I did not [...]
