Happy New Year! Can it really be 2015? Wasn’t the Millennium just a couple of years ago? It is hard to believe. Number One Son and his sweet wife Mikel hosted a New Year’s Eve party. The table was laden with food, and it was all scrumptious. Number One Son made his delicious (and I […]

Having these dear ones join us in our Christmas celebration is one of my favorite times of the year. All are welcome – family, friends, and friends of family and friends.

The George W. Bush Presidential Library was on my “Want to Do List” this Christmas.

I never tire of the Christmas story. I try to imagine what it must have been like on that night. How amazing it must have been. Within this post I will share some of my friend Ann’s nativity sets. Many of my friends collect nativities, and they have simple sets handmade by children, plastic sets […]
A highlight of my Christmas each year is when the Grand’s (grand nieces and nephew + my grandchildren) come for our annual Christmas tea. It is a party for the children with the added bonus of getting to visit with my nephews and their sweet wives. A bummer for me this year was that Super […]
The Christmas season chould not pass without me sharing some of the Christmas vignettes in Mrs. Ralph’s home. I love all the arrangements on her tables and shelves. I kid you not. I have enough pictures for many many blogs, and I am going to basically let the pictures do the talking. A sled sitting […]
It is so hard to believe. Pretty Baby is one year old. Of course, we had a party. She was dressed for the occasion – pink tutu dress with a special birthday hat and pink shoes. What a darling little princess. Aunt Becky painted the chalkboard. Wow! She is majorly talented. We had a brunch to […]
