Wow...what a weekend I had last week! Busy, highly emotional, and rewarding all in one. I don't have a furniture or home project to share today but I do have a 'heart' project. Last week I received news that the son of some old friends who was also the grandson of another set of old friends had ended his life. He was a gifted and much loved young … [Read more...]
Bless his heart……
Good Morning!! If you had been awake at 3 am, you could have called because my eyes were WIDE OPEN!! Honestly, this season of a woman's life is NOT meant to include children who need to get up at 6 am for school! God knew what he was about when he said...."woman, thou shalt not have any more children after (a certain age)". I made that up, so don't … [Read more...]
The Weekend is here……….I Love Monday

A Third Eye
I am sure I am experiencing a medical marvel. There must be a third eye in the middle of my forehead. I can't see it.....nor can other adults.

I know it's there because of the way the children look at me when I say stupid things like" don't put your index finger into … [Read more...]
Back to work
The house is quiet....just the way I like it! Kids at school, two big mugs of coffee consumed and a little of the tiredness is going away....I didn't get much done yesterday....that is by my standards......due to the invasion of the body snatchers...also known as carpal tunnel syndrome. I injured myself and started this problem about five years ago … [Read more...]
