Having just finished the book and watched the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice, I thought this would be a great treasure for those Jane Austen fans out there. “Mistuh Dawsee” is my new favorite! I can’t imagine a better Mr. Darcy than Colin Firth. Wouldn’t you agree?
This is one of my very favorite photos of my husband’s grandmother. I love it because it’s so timeless. She looks so peaceful and content. I love the black and white with color added here and there. Here is what my mother-in-law Charlotte had to say about it: She was 19 at the time, and …
Take one tired, stuck-in-a-rut mom of four and fly her “home” to California. 2. Send along her mom and sisters to meet her for a long weekend. 3. Take her sight-seeing, 3. Shopping at her sister’s stores and eating. As a bonus, splurge on a wonderful chocolate mousse mineral facial. 4. Give her time to …
Today I am thankful that when you read this, I will be on this: On my way to meet these girls: Heading here: To do a little of this: And read a little of that: Have a wenderful weekend!
When my husband came back from his grandmother’s funeral a few weeks ago, he brought with him treasures. A bag full of old photos of his ancestors from Austria and Germany. Black and white snippets in time of weddings, parties, family gatherings, and childhood moments. Memories captured on film left for the generations to come. …
So, this post serves two purposes. It’s my first official Thankful Thursday post where I share a few random things I’m thankful for every Thursday. And since I’m participating in this “totally rad” event today, it’s my contribution to memories of the 80s. Today I’m thankful that I have evolved from this 15 year-old girl. …
There have been many “firsts” since moving to rural Idaho. To remember them, I’ll be documenting them here every Wednesday. Last week, as I was schlepping kids around in my car, two “firsts” happened in the same day. I was a hair away from hitting a chicken in mid flight. It flew right out in …
Since Christmas has been “right around the corner” since the beginning of September when Target purged their shelves of shovels and pails and started stocking up on lights and stockings, I’ve started thinking about my Christmas shopping. With the economy on its knees gasping for breath with no real hope in sight, we will be …
So, today was the deadline for Halloween costume decisions here at our house. Since the kids had the day off of school, we headed to the nearest Savers to check out the remnants of this year’s costume hunt. Once the choices were made, we headed home to try on our finds. The year was 1985 …
Since I’m in somewhat of a blogging slump right now and can’t think of anything clever to post about, I will answer my sister’s request to blog about 7 Things You May Not Know About Me. I did a list of 100 random facts awhile ago so I’m not sure I can come up with …
Have a great weekend!
We’ve lived here now for about five months and the place is growing on us. It’s so far removed from how we grew up that it has been very educational living here in ‘the ruralness that is Idaho’. It doesn’t have a single traffic light! It’s the kind of place that you have to see …
