It has been a long time, I know!

I know it has been forever since I really posted and then I really didn't explain why haven't been posting. I am not one to go on about my really personal life so I am not. I will just say that it all involves Gayle and things were really bad and we have seen lots of doctors and had lots of tests.
I am however very happy to say that after 3 really long months she is doing much better and things are really looking much better than they were!!!! We have thankful and happy hearts and are very hopeful for the future!!!
With all of that said, I am going to say that I have missed posting very much! I am going to do the one thing that I hate to do when I post and that is not include a picture, sorry about that.
I just wanted to get started again! I hope I can make it an everyday thing or at least 3 times a week! Please go see Lilli's blog! She has updated her's today, too! She has some great nature pictures!
Also, I have blogged for the Cashmere Cat today so you might want to check her out!
That's gonna be all for me today! I will be back soon!

Wherever you are whatever you are doing I hope you have a wonderfully happy day!

A trip to town!

We went to town yesterday to see our friend Deanna and Kacey at the Cashmere Cat!
Remember we went there the other day to see them and I thought I had forgotten my camera but I really didn't? Well, we took pictures yesterday and here is one to get you going!
I had the pleasure of starting up a blog for the Cashmere Cat!
Please go take a look and say Hi to her and Kacey!
Yesterday was a big day for me!
I received a really special gift from Lilli!!
She is such a sweet child! I'm not saying that just because she is mine! She really is!
After supper she went right into the sewing room and started making me a surprise!
Please go visit Lilli at thebuttonboxgirls!

Wherever you are whatever you are doing I hope you are having a wonderfully happy day!

Christmas late and more Snow, lots more!!!

We have more snow! WooHooooo!!! Just have to say that Lilli, the dog and I are very happy!!! John is not so happy! He is grumbling around with when is spring gonna get here?! We just laugh and say the calendar says March 20!!!
We have 12 inches and it is still snowing! It is the really heavy snow that makes for great packing! I am sure we will be making a snowman soon!!! We have already made Snow Ice Cream! Yummy!Before the really bad snow started, Lilli and I were able to go to town to meet our really good friends, Kacey and Deanna! They just bought a shop in town! I haven't said anything before now because I wanted to take pictures and post them! Silly me, I thought I forgot my camera, but when I got home, where do you think it was? In my purse! So I did have it but didn't know it!! We will go back and I will take pictures and then I can post them! Anyway, we have a thing about owls! Look what Lilli found in the shop! Isn't it so sweet and don't you love the colors?!!!
It was 50% off to make it the buy of the day!!! The name of shop is the Cashmere Cat and it is a very sweet consignment shop loaded with great things!

One reason we met Kacey and Deanna for lunch was to celebrate Christmas with them! I know it's January but we just couldn't find a good time, when we thought we could we couldn't so we did it yesterday!!! Did we ever bring home the goodies! Deanna always gets us tooo much but everything was great! I love Gooseberry Patch and snowmen! And look there is Carol Burnett! We love her and we love to laugh so that is a great choice for us! Do you see the box of chocolates? It says Believe on it and it's by Maxfield's! I read the box and Maxfield's has been making chocolates since 1947! Isn't it funny that something has been around for so long and you've never heard of them or tasted them?!! Well, the chocolates were great! Yep, I said were, we ate the whole box yesterday! Aren't we awful? If it helps it was a small box!!!
Thanks Deanna and Kacey for a great time! We really do have to do it more often!

Wherever you are whatever you are doing I hope you have a wonderfully happy day!
