The Grandboys at our Swan's Nest property




We had a glorious time running around the property and going down by Lake Swan. We are going to make many memories here I'm sure. :)

I have been tagged and I will do my best to comply. I will not be able to tag 6 other people though. I only know the two bloggers who tagged each other!

THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the ‘6 weird things about you.’ People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. I sometimes find myself "typing" words over and over again with my fingers(no keyboard mind you)and I do not know why!

2. I absolutely HATED boot camp but it continues to be one of the things I am most proud of accomplishing.

3. I love to shuffle paperwork. When I was little I played "secretary" and still love how a desk looks with lots of papers and projects to be done. I guess it makes me feel important.

4. I like changing my hair color. If it was not so expensive I would have it professionally done quite regularly.

5. I like moving around and living in different places. My Mom marveled over that fact and I find it brings me pleasure anticipating new people and places to discover. I just have to keep the faith while packing and cleaning and being a vagabond for several weeks.

6. I love pancakes and bacon for dinner. When I was young my Mom made it for us kids when my Dad was not coming home for dinner. It was sort of a "renegade" thing to do and I still like to do it now and then.

Hope this enlightens you somehow!

The best thing about me is that I LOVE my family like mad. They sustain me and I am very blessed and proud of them!

THE CHAIR TO THE COUCH! NEATO!



Here is the BEFORE of the chair that was also part of the sectional.






Here is the chair that matches the couch...Maria fixed the cushion so it fit better and I absolutely love it by itself in my bedroom!



Here is a picture of a cute little couch I found at our local thrift store. It is part of a sectional and I just loved the look of it.





Here is is with its new slipcover and a little beefing up. My wonderful slipcover lady Maria created this for me. I LOVE IT!

THIS IS FOR ALL MY PEEPS!


I been remiss in posting to this site as I have been so very busy working on (more to the point; finishing) some projects. Here is a picture of my reclaimed wing chair. I met this wonderful lady named Maria and she sewed this beautiful slipcover. The picture does not capture the beautiful pattern and colors as well as I would have liked but here it is. I LOVE my chair.

Ha! I say!

This was my "big" gift at Christmas! My daughter "J" splurged on me and got it. I plan to be a world famous cream puff maker using this amazing piece of kitchen equipment! Now, I must admit that my other daughter, "M" who has a blog of her own and has been shamelessly slandering me for days, has stated she feels competent to compete with me in this arena. Ha! I say!


Not one to give "my people" a hard time or to flaunt my own attributes, I went to my fan club! I asked them what they thought of this shameless claim of said daughter "M". Here is what they had to offer!


Gus ran and put on his funny hat and squealed with laughter at what the other blogger said about being a possible competitor in the Kitchenaid Bake-Off!









Cheez & Will say ha!, ha! ha! You must be joking!











Drew said, "whaddya talkin about? No way, Jose!"







So with the backup of my fans, I really must graciously stop with the sniping and move onto just being the best darn cream puff maker I can be using my beautiful new Kitchenaid mixer. Thanks so much "J".
