Memorial Day

Today I think of all the fallen soldiers throughout our history. But I especially mourn the loss of those soldiers in Iraq so recently lost. My prayers for their families and prayers for peace go out today.

Summertime…

Since Memorial Day Weekend usually signifies the beginning of summer I thought I would change my blog theme. I love the watercolor header with the lemons mixed in - there are some good templates over at Lilac Pixels for you Wordpress users.
We had to go to a dedication ceremony this morning for our new Town [...]

Did you have a good Mother’s Day yesterday? I hope so. Every one of the mothers that visit me here and the ones I visit also, truly deserve a special day. Mine started out great and ended - okay.
I was awoken early yesterday morning by a lot of noise in the kitchen. Our bedroom is [...]

We’re Home

I survived and so did the kids. It warmed up, dried up a lot of the mud and the sun even came out for a while. No rain after all - phew! Of course, I did forget the camera, and the bags for the kids to put the eggs in, and the lawn tractor keys [...]

Sickness And Plastic Eggs

I woke up with a horrible sore throat this morning. Everyone has been sick with one of those lovely spring colds that are typically characterized by mucous oozing from every orifice on their face. I usually avoid these sicknesses but this time I don’t think I’m going to be so lucky. You know what’s really [...]

I love Irish Blessings and Sayings. Some are so true, some so funny. I thought I would share a few of my favorites today.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God [...]

Happy New Year!!
I ended up taking an unexpected vacation from my blog last week but now I’m back and refreshed. Every year I take the week off between Christmas and New Years to be with my children and we had a busy, fun week. It didn’t leave much time for the computer but the nice [...]

I can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve!! Where has the time gone?? I have been in a mad cleaning, shopping, cooking (well the hubs has been doing most of this) frenzy for the last 3 days. My stepdaughter and her son are coming tonight and spending the night with us - and she’s helping us with [...]
