DS and his family are here to visit for a week. We’ve been able to visit them twice since the babies were born, so are glad to have them under our roof for a week. We expected them around 8AM but they were able to leave earlier than planned so arrived around 6:00. I’d been […]
During Sisters’ Weekend we visited two antique malls. I really enjoyed browsing through them. I found a few things I had to take home… These wooden molds will make great paper cast ornaments. Or springerle cookies… These vintage postcards show views of Abraham Lincoln’s home in Springfield, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln is my first cousin five […]
I snapped a picture this morning of Happy taking a snoozle on the arm of the recliner in the library. She looked rather comical with all the fluff overflowing the arm of the chair. ~~Rhonda 🙂
Someone said, “Dogs have masters, cats have staff.” Seems to be the case around here. We started with Happy when DD was three years old. She is DD#3’s kitty, but she thinks she is DH’s cat. She loves him. When DH and I sit down to chat, Happy comes from anywhere in the house and […]
I, my four sisters and our two sisters-in-law try to get together for a weekend every year or two. This is the weekend. 🙂 While we gathered in the motel room, waiting for everyone to arrive, Paula caught up on the local news. Of course, as it usually happens when we have a family get-together, […]
I always thought flutter-by was a better name than butterfly for these beautiful fluttering insects. Yesterday we went to the Butterfly House in Chesterfield, Missouri. As soon as we walked in, a large butterfly landed on DH’s shoulder. The Butterfly House is in a large atrium, with butterflies everywhere! At the far end of the […]
DD was excited to try her hand at making the noodles for supper for last night. After simmering the chicken (in enough water to cover, with some dry onion, garlic, celery seed, about 1 tsp basil, 2 tsp chicken bouillon, and salt and pepper), I diced it and returned it to the broth, which I […]
It’s spring and that means ladybugs in the house on warm days. Zilli found one in the kitchen this morning. Gotcha! She rolled over and promptly lost the little bug. She looked all over the floor but couldn’t find it. Ladybug? What ladybug? Not sure when it quit hitchhiking, but it may be outside now. […]
The cemetery was an interesting place to stroll. Quiet and peaceful and full of history. When we decided it was time to go, DD talked us into another half hour. She had a great time. Signs of spring were every where. This tree was so ready to burst into leaf. It won’t need much encouragement. […]
