favorite photos from 2008

I’ve been looking over my photos from 2008, trying to decide which ones are my favorites. I thought I’d try to pick one for each month. January ~ This picture comes from the mission team our church sent to New Orleans, where we spent five days putting up drywall for a sweet woman named Gloria. […]

a few snapshots from the past few days

Busy! We’ve been *very* busy! Last night, I didn’t have the energy to check email before I went to bed at 12:00. For me, that is tired! 🙂 Here are a few pics from the past few days. Sugarplums Peanut Butter Truffles Genny always decorates the mailbox Young ladies from church came to help. A […]

new sofa

The new sofa for the living room was delivered today. We switched the office rug and the living room. The office rug looks great with the sofa. And the living room rug looks great in the office! Worked out well! ~~Rhonda 🙂

in honor of election day

DH make the eagle from the Great Seal of the United States. Ummm…riiiiight…. He didn’t add the extras…arrows, leaves, banners. You get just the basics with DH’s pancake art. ;-D Those other things are "dots," which DD always asks for. Now that you’re inspired…get out there and vote! ~~Rhonda 🙂

creative outlets

I’d be quite unhappy if I didn’t have some kind of creative outlet. I must confess, I have more than several areas of interest, but one of my favorites is photography. You’ve seen a lot of my photos on this blog. Following are some that don’t fit my usual blog topics. I am a member […]

before and after…or after and before…

Here’s the new view of the house from the mailbox. This picture was taken from very near the same vantage point, in May of 2005. With the two pine trees and the oak tree from the center of the driveway gone, the house can now be seen from the road. Sure looks odd without those […]

bye-bye, pine trees!

It was rainy and a bit chilly this AM, but Paul and his crew were here before 8:00 to take down three trees for us. In the center of the driveway, they removed the oak on the left and the pine tree on the right. They also removed the large pine by the front porch. […]

this and that

Today was mostly taken up with stripping wall paper in the hall and the laundry room. I did about 15 minutes of mowing, just to get outside for a few minutes right before supper. The weather was beautiful. We have eight chrysalises so far. Three of them are brown. The rest are green. DD made […]

did you see that teddy bear?

What teddy bear?? As we drove through a small town yesterday, DH saw this dumpster with bear. I missed it first time around, but he asked if I wanted to go back for a picture (I always carry my camera when possible). So we drove around the block and there was teddy, topping the dumpster […]
