Back to Life – Back to Reality
Yes, my vacation is over. As mentioned on the previous blog, I spent my vacation at the county fair. I was there every waking moment and now that I am back to work I really want to go back to the fair, but reality sets in and I know that is not possible!!! Before the fair began, my mom had these …
Where have we been? Plus a new contest!
Okay, I know we have been missing for the last few days. Anyone that knows us knows that our life comes to a screeching halt the first week of August.

Freshened Up Folding Chairs
Everytime we have more than a few extra guests at my house we have to bring out the folding chairs – Yes, they are very old but they do serve the purpose! The holes in the cushions help to affirm the fact that they are very aged. These chairs came from my husband's great uncle so they also mean …
My Weekend Project & Logo Contest Winner
My new bench- well not exactly new since I've had it for about 20 years. I bought it at an auction, stripped the finish and then stained it.
