here's my sign...

Emily has this sign on her front porch
and I decided I needed one
(Sarah you have one too), and I
realized that I have signs everywhere,
almost to the OCD point of being ridiculous...
Oh well, here's a few more


One of my favorites, but not really true,
Hoke is a great cook


My delightfully messy hutch


Sweet and simple...



and just another fav...
Do any of you have signs,
let's see some of them!

Best day ever...

When Tobyn is doing something he's excited or
really happy about he always says...
"This is the best day EVER!"...
Well this is the best night ever
I love, love , love George Strait..
always have, always will, can't help it, just do
(Dad knows about this, by the way)

and tonight was a tribute to him as
Artist of the Decade... YUM!

Remember...

When I went outside this morning this is what I saw...
the Scouts had put our flag up for this Memorial Day
I had actually forgotten that they would be doing this
and it took me a little by surprise
It caused me to pause for a minute and think about
today... what do you have to think about today?

Grandpa's cupboard...

While my Grandpa Jack was building his house
(the house we live in), he lived in this little
house first (now my upholstery shop).
In a corner of this one room house was a kitchenette...
This was the cupboard and sink that he built...
sturdy as a rock.


Over the years it has been moved outside,

moved to other sheds to store tools,

and pretty much abused! Now it has

a fresh coat of white paint and moved

into our house, (the one that Grandpa built),

and storing all my treasures!


... and, Cronkite is lovin' his new home in the sink too!

My friends husband passed away this past week,
and in talking to her I realized how blessed I am for
all the "free" things in life...family, friends,
grandkids, gospel, so many things!

Ceiling Tin...

I have so much "salvage treasures" (junk) that I forget
what I have and I re-discovered these in my shop.

I think they are much happier in my bathroom!!
