I’ve gotten in the habit of carrying my digital camera with me everywhere…never know when you might want to take a picture! I grabbed it the other night to take when I rode in the golf cart with Don and afterwards we were going to a farm to check a job. The main thing I […]

I was tagged by Debi for this fun little book meme; being a homeschooling mom she reads quite often! This is all about the books you’re reading or going to read. Not sure who to tag, Debi tagged Stacy already but I think this is one Lynne could do; she’s also been reading circles around […]

Monday evening hubby wanted me to ride with him to a field to check something so he could finish his work day out. However, we first had to go to the golf course while it was still light so he could hit golf balls for a few minutes! Gotta have those priorities in order you […]

We watched a moving video at church yesterday about Memorial Day….I hope we all remember our troops and what they are doing to protect our country and all the ones who’ve given their lives for our freedom. I’m grateful for them, and for our country. This phrase was in the video several times and I […]

I’ve been thinking about this subject for a while and trying to decide whether to share it or not…because if I tell you, you might think I’m crazy or just a little bit weird! Or you may already think that and are just being nice. 😆 But here goes: At times I seem to be […]

Just some random things for now! 1. I’ve made pretty good progress on cleaning up my email. I think I had gotten my inbox down to about 50 something yesterday! I’ll probably accumulate a few more than that until I have time to purge again but hopefully this has gotten me over the hump. Some […]

This might be a case of that old thing, “be careful what you wish for.” So what do you get when you have this: and then you mix it with more: You might get something……..

Last week at the end of our weekend with the family, we celebrated Mother’s day a bit! We went to church in Jackson with Don’s sister, all her family, his mom and a couple of our kids. The church they go to now has 3 services, we picked the 9:30 one so we could all […]

The Year of Pleasures by Elizabeth Berg was on my spring reading thing list and I finished it up over the weekend. I read it a bit slowly I think because parts of it seemed so sad to me and made me teary. Betta Nolan and her husband John live in Boston where both have […]

Last week I got a bit off with meals because hubby was out of town, no point making a big casserole just for me! I sorta like it when it’s less cooking though, maybe that’s not a bad thing. 😉 Hopefully I’ll stay on track this week, unless he has to make a last minute […]

Update: You guys did good! Some knew it, like Kim who’s been a nurse and Claire, who’s in med school! And I think the rest of you knew it had something to do with the eyes. exophthalmic: abnormal protrusion of the eyeballs, protrusion of the eyeball caused by disease or injury. Claire emailed me all […]

My inbox does NOT look like the little image you see here. My outlook express has many, too many, emails still in it! I think I have about 150 unread ones, there’s no telling how many I have that have been read but I’ve just left them there! I’m not very good about keeping it […]

Several people asked about one of the things on my menu this week and when I fixed this once before I got some comments about it too. It’s the Shrimp and Wild Rice Casserole that I made about a month or so ago, then used the leftovers for quesadillas………they were probably the BEST quesadillas I’ve […]

I’m soooo tired from a really long weekend with family and extended family; can’t get motivated to do anything today. Just got home last night and the house looks like stuff was just dropped wherever, which basically is what happened! I didn’t get a lot of sleep and am really dragging today. But……..we had fun! […]
