Memorial Day

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your service and sacrifice!

President's Day

In honor of our holiday today, I am sharing pictures of some of the Presidential homes we have visited in our travels. We have also visited Presidential museums, gravesites and libraries but here are some of the homes....

Dwight Eisenhower boyhood home in Abilene, Kansas - his gravesite is also at this location. The museum is very interesting.

William Clinton boyhood home in Hope, Arkansas.

 Abraham Lincoln home in Springfield, Illinois. You can spend a whole day in Springfield visiting Lincoln sites.

William Taft home in Cincinnati, Ohio.

 Harry Truman home in Independence, Missouri.

 Rutherford Hayes home in Fremont, Ohio.

William McKinley home in Canton, Ohio. It is now the First Ladies National Historic Site, which is very cool.

 Herbert Hoover birthplace in West Branch, Iowa. His library, museum and gravesite are all at the same location..

Happy Day!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you

I know

It's no excuse, BUT - - - -
I haven't blogged because I've been wrapped up in work and holiday preparations. My shopping is ALMOST done - the Mr. and I are planning an outing tonight to finish up. I don't have ANYTHING wrapped yet... So, there will be a wrapping night soon.

Work is getting crazy busy (as usual this time of year) - so I'm pretty zapped when I get home.

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The start of another week

HAPPY MONDAY!!!! I hope you had a nice weekend.

Ours was pretty uneventful. Saturday, the Mr. and Young Mr. had to work all day. I cleaned the house; did a little yardwork [where do the weeds come from?!]; had lunch with my sister & one of my sister-in-laws; relaxed a little. I had a photo shoot that evening for a big family celebration. It was a beautiful night and the family was a lot of fun!

Yesterday, we took the Mr. out for breakfast at a local place. We had a late lunch and watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (it was quite enjoyable).

It was pretty uneventful but nice. It's a short work week for me this week, as I am taking a long weekend to catch up at home and relax a little.

I hope you all have a good week!

Weekend recap

Happy Monday!

To all running in Boston today - have a GREAT run!

We had a nice weekend!

Friday - we got a bonus couple hours off. An email went out at 2:30 stating we were closing. WOO HOO! It was great! I went home, sat on the deck and read. We went to dinner that evening with my in-laws. It was nice to see my brother and sister-in-law (and my parents-in-law).

Saturday, Little Miss and I went to the resale shop (for me). I found a couple of shirts, a skirt and a pair of shoes. It was a nice walk to and from.  I sat on the deck reading again for a couple of hours. Saturday afternoon, the four of us went to see Rio 2 - it was a cute movie, a little too musical but cute. Then we to dinner together; did a little shopping (the Mr. bought me a new pair of shoes...).

Yesterday was Easter - the Mr. and I ran to Lowes in the morning to pick out some flowers. Then we went home and got ready for lunch. We went to my aunt & uncle's. We sat on their deck all afternoon - it was PERFECT out!  Sunny, almost 80. I got a little sunburn on my forehead - and I don't care!  We left there - went to pick out our new grill. The Mr. and Young Mr. were putting that together in the dark last night...  I got my flowers planted (it's wonderful to have a little color in the yard again).

And we're back to work this week.

I hope you all had a great weekend & Easter!

Friday Fun -Easter edition

Thank you!

First of all...

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!!

 

Secondly...

Thank you all for your kind words on yesterday's post. You made me blush!

 

Thirdly...

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?

Ours wasn't terribly exciting: I worked on Saturday at the library, then got groceries (I know - exciting, right?!).  Yesterday was a pretty mellow day. I helped Little Miss with her extra credit project (I feel so knowledgeable on chick development); went to Ulta to enjoy a couple of 21 Days of Beauty specials; took a nap; scrapped and read a little.

 

Fourthly... (is that a word?)

I am hoping for a productive, uneventful week.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful Monday!



Happy Valentine's Day!

I wish you all a wonderful Valentine's Day! I "heart" you all!

18 years ago the Mr. asked me to be his Valentine forever! I haven't regretted it.

Any Valentine's plans? I think we're going grocery shopping. I know...exciting, right?

Have a great weekend!
