So, how was your Thanksgiving holiday? Ours was so nice. Busy but nice. I had hoped we would get to the theater to see Twilight but we did so much each day that come evening we were too tired to go to the movies. It wasn’t as if we had mesothelioma but we certainly had […]

Just wanted to let you know that we are having fun while our daughter, Stacy, is here.

When Greg and Taryn announced their engagement, the wedding date seemed so far away. Last night we met at Bed Bath and Beyond in Indy so they could pick out a china pattern. On the counter was a cute little clock that gave a countdown. It counted the days left until the wedding and it […]

When I think of the Red Cross, I think of donating blood. Many lives have been saved because people took the time to donate blood. The Red Cross has been making a difference since its inception many years ago. When we visited Washington DC, we walked past the large white building with the big red […]

I have my son cornered in the living room. He was told to not move until his schedule is documented on my calendar. He is involved in so many things this summer that I truly need a GPS tracking system to keep track of him. He leaves on Sunday to be a counselor at a […]

My baby boy turns 23 today. If you would like to tell him Happy Birthday, you can tell him on his blog. We are meeting up in Ohio this weekend to celebrate his birthday. Have any of you eaten at Bonefish Grill? We love their bang bang shrimp.

I am so excited for my daughter. She has been looking a long time for a retro kitchen set. She could have settled for discount furniture that was imitation but chose to wait. While visiting friends she discovered they were buying new furniture and would be selling their kitchen table and chairs. They were just […]

My baby boy will be 23 this weekend. It is hard to believe. Everyone tells you to enjoy them while they are babies because the time will go fast. They were right. Time has flown.
I am trying to think of a cake to make for him. He likes my cake that uses a cup […]

It sounds as if Father’s Day snuck up on many of us. Luckily, my kids remembered. I asked my husband what he would like to do to celebrate the day. He said he would like to go to New Buffalo and watch the boats on Lake Michigan. He wanted to go today and so we […]
