HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN!

Well, just got back from vacation! Canada and Niagara Falls! It is 2:16 a.m. Saturday morning and I am getting ready for bed. Therefore, return this weekend and I should be posting some vaca info and pics!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!

I was going to put this on earlier in the day, but forgot until now. So better late than never! I am sending these flowers from my garden to you mom. Enjoy the pics! I hope you had a wonderful birthday today. We all love you very much.

BEDROOM REDO!

Well, I finally did it! After 31 years of my old bedroom outfit (YUCK!), I convinced Tom (well, sort of) that we needed a new one! Well, convince is not the proper word for this little purchase, but he finally let me do it! I am so happy with how the bedroom now looks! It is a complete change of pace...finally!!!!!!!! I know he likes it too, I can tell. Actually he even admits it, but, he still thinks it was unnecessary. He did not see anything wrong with the old one. Only, that the dresser had about an 8 inch oblong spot, right on the top in the middle, where everyone could see, a big bad bald spot where someone (named Joi) spilled finger nail polish about 22 years ago, tried to wipe it up with a kleenex, then took their fingernails and scratched it up. The chest of drawers has two broken drawers, that were wood glued back together (let's just say, an ex-husband had a temper). I never had a night stand, but scarfed a little cabinet someone was going to throw away and used it! So, therefore, don't you agree.....I deserved a new bedroom outfit!!!!!! Well, I know I agree! What do you think....before....or....after?

Well, I know that I LOVE IT! Still a few more little touches to make, but it is pretty much finished.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!

Lunch with all, an end to a perfect day!

Well, I promised a new blog, and here it is. I am really late with this, but at least I getting around to posting it. We went and walked the Susan B. Komen "Walk for the Cure" again this year in June. My Mom was able to walk this year and she walked as a "SURVIVOR"! We all walked with her to celebrate her accomplishment and courage along with her sister a breast cacner survivor also, my aunt Norma Adams, and her daughters, Donna and Veronica. Me, my daughter Joi and her husband, David was along for the celebration! The day was and extremely nice day, compared to the hot day last year. We made it there early this year for the "survivors" procession and the little celebration thereafter. It was a very emotional experience for all. We hope to do this every year. We invite everyone and anyone to come along for the celebration. In fact, we encourage all of you to join us next year! Please enjoy the pictures of our great day!
