UPDATE

I am trying to make a slide show of vacation, instead of posting pictures separately. So please bear with me. I am getting there. Hopefully I will post soon. Please come back in a couple of days and I should have it done. Thanks.

OH! CANADA! and NIAGARA FALLS!

Well, as I promised, I am finally posting our vacation pics. I am going to post them in
sections. This is the first section, which is from the begining. On our way to Canada, then
Niagara Falls we had what looked like storms all the way to Michigan. Pretty menacing
clouds to say the least.

Then we were going to stop by Garden City, so Tom could see the place he was born. He
has never been back and wanted to at least see the place.

We spent the night in a town called Canton. Our motel was right across the room from an
IKEA Store. One of Joi's favorite stores, thus the pic!

Finally, destination reached. The hopsital where he was born!

Detroit City the "Motor City" casino and motel!

Last pic in downtown Detroit. This was of one of the car companies (sorry, cannot remember which one). It is a beautiful building.


Next section will be an island park you take a bridge too from downtown Detroit. Those pics hopefully tomorrow.

Transitions Lenses Photo Contest

Transitions Lenses Photo Contest

Hey everyone! Look above! I entered Tom's picture in this Transitions contest when he bought his new glasses, never figuring anything would happen. Well, we came home from vacation and his picture won for that week and he will get $25.00. He is now entered for a $10,000 prize based on voting and celebrity juding. So, please, if you will, click above and go vote for Tom! When you enter the requested information, then view the pictures, he is page 7 of 119 and you will see him in a boat, on the lake, holding up the big bass he has just caught, with a thumbs up! Help us if you will and THANKS TO ALL in advance!

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.
