Prima Flowers!! 2008-06-10 11:03:00 I just have to share with you a thank you gift I got last week from my friend, Judy, for helping her with her swaps for Spring Fling. She had never participated in a swap before and I believe she learned a lot - #1 rule - KIS (keep it simple!) She had to call me to tell me to check out my front door (we never use the front door - always entering through the garage!). There on the stoop was this be Read more:Prima

(thanks, Ann!)These are a few excerpts that really struck home with me particularly with some family issues I am going through at the time. I think everyone can relate to a few of these!!I've learned that the greater a person's sense of guilt, the greater his or her need to cast blame on others. I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems t Read more:Learned

Happy Feet 2008-06-11 07:00:00 When we went to Kernersville a few weeks ago for Spring Fling, after lunch Marianne, Judy and I popped into a cute little shop. I found these adorable shoes!

I am going to take them to my podiatrist next week to see what he thinks. I've just dis Read more:Happy

Mountain Trip with Gabby! 2008-06-16 13:06:00 We took a spontaneous trip to the mountains this weekend. Haven't done that in a long time. It was a great opportunity to test out Sonny's Father's Day present! Ashley bought him a GPS and we had a great time trying to figure it out on the road. We kept trying to come up with a name for the GPS. Many times, her name was "Dumb Azz" but think Sonny finally settled on Gabby

Pick a Color! 2008-06-22 10:00:00 Ever wonder why taxicabs are yellow? Believe it or not, almost all cars and taxis were black in the 1920's. John Hertz owned a taxicab company in Chicago at that time and was looking for a way to make his cabs stand out from the competition. Hertz decided to paint his taxis a distinctive color. He went to the University of Chicago and asked them to make a study of what color was the easiest to se Read more:Color

It was Sonny's couch when we were dating (yes, it probably saw a little action in it's day!!). So it is really great to have something new and totally diffe
