I finished this book a while ago. Over the summer, actually. I had read the first two books in this series. I had borrowed those books from someone at work. When I was ready to read this one, Chuck had given me my iPad, so I rented it through the library. It was a really...

Videos, Videos & More Videos!

January 6, 2012Maddie0
Here are a few more videos that I had on my camera. The first one is very typical of Maddie.walking around with veggie straws. She loves them. They are really like baby crack. If she sees them, she won’t eat anything but them. So really I use them to get her to sit in her...

I set my camera on the counter the other day and when I came back, I saw that this was on the screen. I decided to take the picture. After I looked at it on a screen larger than my camera, I thought it was kind of pretty with the reflection of the tree in...

Porch

I realized I never did an update on the finished porch project. Or many updates at all of the porch. I looked through my old posts and the last entry I found on the porch was in JULY. How terrible is that? Well, we got the roof finished, the porch finished, the deck finished.it turned...

First, I have to say a VERY happy birthday to my wonderful husband! He is the best and I would be lost without him. Here’s to being “old like me,” Chuck! Love you! I have some “resolutions” for this year. I hate calling them resolutions, though. They are more like things I want to accomplish...

Dewalt Dust Buster

Straws

December 24, 2011Maddie0
Maddie learned a new skill last week. She learned how to drink out of a straw. It is so nice! Maddie never liked the bottle after I stopped nursing, so she has been drinking out of a cup that we have had to hold for her. Last week we tried giving her a cup with...

Video Dump

December 17, 2011Maddie0
I have a number of videos I have taken of Maddy, but I haven’t posted them yet. So here we go! Maddie shakes her head “no” all the time. This is a short video of her doing it. It looks so funny when she does it because her eyes don’t move at the same time....

Dannie asked to try gymnastics earlier in the scho Dannie asked to try gymnastics earlier in the school year. We found a local gym and got her signed up.

She gets so much better each week and practices all the time at home. The couple videos are from her first week at practice. She is fearless and I love how she keeps trying until she gets it! 🤸‍♀️

But don’t worry, she’s not giving up hockey. Hockey is still #1 for her! 🏒❤️
I completed another sign for a friend of mine. Thi I completed another sign for a friend of mine. This was her husband’s writing that I pieced together from something his oldest daughter gave me. I also made some bracelets for my friend and each of the kids.  I wish this sweet family wasn’t going through this loss, but I hope his writing brings them some joy. 💔❤️

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
