A "Blue Plate Special"

Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you! Today is our youngest daughter Anna's birthday! In our family there are these plates that pop up at mealtime when someone is having a special day. Our oldest daughter Kim started using a fish plate years ago and now she has this one to put on the table and make someone feel extra special. It's a really fun way to bless someone around your table. Happy Birthday Anna Marie...we love you, Mom & Dad

Summer Camp Blues

We have two granddaughters that for the last 8 years have been going to camp every summer for two weeks. The trunks are out of the basement and guess what...one of them is "blue" so this is my first color post.

Trying to "Move On"

First thing that needs to happen when you are moving is to break-down! So that's what happened before we ever left Raleigh, NC. We spent one more night there and got a new "something" and off we went to Louisville, KY to live nearer family. We downsized 45 years of stuff into a small U-Haul and a trailer (WOW!). It was a smooth trip and we have been here about a month now. We have settled in our place here and I have gone back to work. As soon as I get my camera back from Anna I'll post pictures of this beautiful part of the country.

Carolina Blue Skies

What a day!! We live in America...the skies are Carolina blue...and UNC won the ACC!!! What a day!!! God bless America!

Spring's Coming!

I am so ready for Spring! Our neighborhood is full of white blossoms and bulbs starting to peak out of the ground. This is truly one of my favorite seasons.

Water Water Everywhere!

North Carolina is one of the states that has been dealing with major drought issues. Raleigh, where we live, has put major restrictions on water usage since our water supply has been dwindling since early summer. Many people have made or purchased rain barrels to collect water. Well today, for the second time this week, we are getting much needed rain. Praise the Lord!

Special Routines

I remember when I'd visit my parents and I used to chuckle at their "routines" that they enjoyed so much. Especially the ones in the evening before they headed to bed. It was such a special time in their lives and it was fun to see them do these different things together. For us "hot chocolate at bedtime" has become a daily item. I don't know when it started but it has become part of our evenings and I love it! BTW...Bill makes really good hot chocolate!!
