NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS TO MY FRIENDS
"Each leaf,
each blade of grass
vies for attention.
Even weeds
carry tiny blossoms
to astonish us."
- Marianne Poloskey, Sunday in Spring
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils."
- William Wordsworth
ABOUT ME
Florida girl, married for 38 years to hubby. 2 grown sons. Recently retired and loving it. I'm a self proclaimed nerd. I love CATS, gadgets, computers, reading-especially on my kindle and documentaries. I'm a history buff, especially interested in Civil War era history. I love all things vintage. I also enjoy cooking, especially trying new recipes. I live in an old turn of the century farmhouse that has been in my family for 4 generations. Renovating it over the years has been a labor of love and a lot of work!
WHAT I LIKE
Spending time with my family
Cooking, especially baking
Going out to dinner or the movies
CATS--give me a cat in my lap to snuggle with and I'm happy.
Traveling with hubby to the Smokies every fall
Going to the beach in the Summer.

♥ I have recently begun keeping a Planner which I also use for a scrapbook. I enjoy it a lot.
Finally our rain moved out about an hour ago here. The last 2 days have been miserable, to say the least, but know it will make all the things outside grow faster. Cameron will be cutting lawns in the neighborhood all weekend, including ours. I had a busy day yesterday too, woke up with this burst of energy (and that does not happen often), so ran with it. Today, however, I am dragging. I am having an issue with my insulin levels, and praying they will even out. I know if I can kiss sugar goodbye, that will be 99% of it gone. It is just hard, and like you, since I no longer work, I have way too much time on my hands. Think I am going to go join the local gym, and try to start a daily workout regimen. It's just Dixie and I for 12 days an hour until the men get in from work. I will be going back to Pinterest soon, so be on the lookout for more background stuff. And feel free to use my page as a (test page) anytime. I do not mind at all. :) Hoping your day goes well, and I am so glad we met TOO :)
Good morning Beth, the dreary rain continues here through late evening. It is so soggy outside Dixie doesn’t linger long out on her breaks. Hopefully soon we can get back out on the swing. For now, have gotten some much needed chores done inside. Your page is beautiful once again. Wishing you a blessed day my friend. Your friendship is a wonderful GIFT.
Wishing you a terrific Tuesday, dear bud. It's in the 50s and to be cooler. I can't believe the luck we're having w/the temps. Today we're ordering out for Chinese. The helpings are so big we get two meals from them. No cooking today:) Lee is due back the 8th... happy, happy, happy! Take care and give the critters scritches for me. 1st cup o'java is gone, off to get the 2nd. Love you...
