{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Instagram recap #ww

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram then you have probably seen most of these photos already — they’re too cute to not share again though! Our granddaughter is on the move and she had a grand time with daddy chasing her around the house last Sunday! She was giggling and laughing and oh […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Graduation Party #ww

We hosted our son’s graduation party at the community park last Sunday. It was so nice to catch up with family and though the day was long and hot, it turned out to be a  big success! I still have a hard time believing this “kid” will be starting college in less than a month! […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Senior Prom #ww

Our son attended his Senior Prom last Friday with his fiancee. Please, excuse me while I go curl up in the corner with a tub of cool whip.  Ah! Seriously, I cannot believe he will be graduating in just a few weeks. Today, he received his letter of acceptance to college. I cry. He will […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Daffodils & Dirt Roads #ww

I can never be truly wordless but I will keep it short this week! Saturday was a gorgeous day and it looks like the rest of this week calls for more of the same blue skies and warmer temps. It’s so nice to be able to get outside, throw open the windows and take walks […]

A Carrot Cake for Moms 60th Birthday

Unbelievably, my mom turned 60 on Saturday! I can’t wrap my brain around it because for some reason my mom lives perpetually at the age of 38 in my mind. So for my forever 38 mom’s birthday, we invited her over for scalloped potatoes, salad and her favorite dessert — carrot cake. I make carrot […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Labor Day Weekend #ww

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend, it was relaxed and we didn’t do too much. Saturday we went to see the Fireworks display over the lake at Conneaut Lake Park. It was a beautiful show and a perfect night. Despite the fact that I couldn’t take a  good fireworks photo to save my life, […]

Wordless Wednesday – 38th annual family reunion #ww

It was a chilly yet beautiful day for our family’s annual gathering at this park this past weekend! I didn’t realize it was the 38th year! I have been going for many of those. It’s fun to reconnect with family I don’t get to see often, yet very sad to look around and see all […]

Wordless Wednesday – a birthday boy #ww

My son’s birthday was last Thursday. He turned SEVENteen. I find it very strange to look at him and see someone who is so close to adulthood. I always expect to turn around and look into the smiling face a chubby cheeked 3 year old. He is so not three anymore. ☛ I want to […]

{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Happy Fourth of July #ww

Happy Fourth of July!! I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends. Stay safe! Here are a few photos from our picnic July 3rd! What’s for supper? Chicken!! Just kidding :) Seriously though, this is why I ALWAYS use a tablecloth on the picnic table!

You might recall that I shared one of my family’s So Good So Sweet moments with you a couple of weeks ago. I still smile to myself every time I think about our family’s trip to Deer Park on that hot day — and about how we made it fun and ended up smiling, laughing […]

My family’s #sogoodsosweet Moments!

It’s Springtime and that means we’ll soon be able to get out and about to all of the places our state has to offer. Some of my favorite family moments are the ones we create by  hopping into the car for a road trip to a zoo, park or other attraction. My Dad always surprised […]
