I saw my daughter’s heart today. Well not literally. Pie had an EKG and an echo cardiogram this morning. Last Monday, out the clear blue, she fainted during gym class. She said she just felt weird and then everything went black and down she went. This is not normal people! Definitely NOT the call you […]
Random thoughts about my Christmas Tree – {almost} Wordless Wednesday
Sorry I feel wordy today, skip to the pics if you just want {wordlesss}. Our tree is up. I remembered to buy candy canes before Christmas Eve this year, go me! For some strange reason I keep thinking the tree is a heater. I randomly get up and go stand by it several times a […]
I miss you when you’re gone – nine years
Nine years. Nine years since life changed. Nine years since Dad left us. Can it really be that long? I can almost close my eyes and remember the joy he had in his grandchildren. I can {almost} hear his voice, his chuckle… his laugh. Can anyone ever really understand how much they rely and depend […]
Wordless Wednesday – Completely random
Pie’s hair grows s..l..o..w..l..y which means we haven’t had a chance to experiment with braids much until this year. She loved this messy sideways french braid, I thought it looked really sweet. I do hereby command thee turkey to THAW!! Pie crocheted this toy for Ginger all by herself while I was gone […]
Snow Covered Coop – Wordless Wednesday
Last Thursday night we had our first snowfall of the season. When we woke up on Saturday morning, updated to add: WOW! do I even know what day comes after Thursday? I meant on FRIDAY morning when we woke up, it was to a sparkly, fluffy, muddy, gorgeous day. Funny how snow can make everything look so […]
Just post number one thousand {1000}
I noticed in my blog’s dashboard today that I have 999 posts under my belt since I started blogging way back at the end of 2008. Who would have ever thought that I would stick with it and grow to love being a blogger so much. When I first started blogging, Super G. and I […]
The white stuff is falling!
The very first snow fall of winter! I cannot believe it. Yesterday it was 67 degrees out, today 38 and now we are under a Lake Effect Snow Warning! The weather man says 1-3″ by morning but I have a feeling it will be more like 3-5″ if it keeps up the way it’s going! […]
A car ride with Ginger Grant – Wordless Wednesday
I haven’t posted a picture of our Ginger Dog in so long! She’s still her adorable fat self. She’s just too darn cute for me to handle these days, the older she gets the more I give in to her. Every time I try to go anywhere she sits there and stares at me — […]
I want to live near a mountain
Ever since we took our family day trip over to Benezette to see the elk herd, I’ve been daydreaming about all of those gorgeous tree covered hills we drove by. Taking that trip away from the stress and worry of home life really made me realize how much I miss traveling. While I haven’t done […]
Trick-or-Treat – Wordless Wednesday
Some friends of ours always have the coolest house in town! This year in addition to the HUGE Godzilla and creepy crashed plane, there was a “Dead End” Day care complete with feet-eating baby zombies! Definitely the highlight of the evening! Love it! How was your Halloween?
Have a Spooktacular Halloween!
Hope your Halloween is full of spooky fun, good times and lots of treats! We’re excited to go Trick-or-Treating this evening and can’t wait to walk around and see everyone’s costumes and Halloween decorations! We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the rain stays away for most of the evening, being and soggy does NOT make […]
