Go Gram!

I've been looking for bookends lately, but just not finding the right thing.  Until I walked through Gram's basement.  Not only were they great, she made them!  

And now they're mine, and looking great in their renewed life location of my bedroom.
40 years later and these guys are still kickin'!

Honestly Northend!

I said classy! Not drive around with a grill out the trunk and one hobo riding backwards holding it in!

10:30 pm delivery!

Thanks a million K!

Helper Dudes

We have a great group of Dudes, (as I call them), right now in Youth Ministry - wonderful girls too, but I didnt catch them cleaning up a recent all-church potluck like I did the guys.

So this one's for the guys!

I'm sure they'll all just LOVE being here on the blogeroo! :)

Because we all need some beautiful

And these fit the bill -

Ahhh Peonies...

When Little Boys Grab Your Cam...

Memorable Memorial Day

This is one Memorial Day weekend I dont think I'll soon forget because it was so homeownery!

Friday I had a bunch of girlfriends over and a bonfire which included wood chopping!

Saturday I worked on a big yard project and accomplished it all on my own; pat on my sunburned back!  So farmerish of me!

First there was this:

Then this:

Now there's this!

Sunday I had nearly 50 people over!  We all sat out in the yard and ate, chatted, and played - very fun!

Monday was a parade and a little kid sitting

Not this kid, but she sure is cute!

Poor Bob the neighbor! So much activity and a managed to douse his deck with a rouge sprinkler!

New Mantra

I think it was always there, maybe just unspoken.
