Warm hearts…

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Ahhh February! ♥ The LOVE month!  Who couldn’t use more love?   So speaking of love, how about those heart rocks.  You know the ones you find that are shaped like a heart!  I have a twin sister Pattie.  She and I were due on April Fool’s Day, but arrived on Valentine’s Day.  I won’t say what [...]

Not enough sunshine, taxes and freezing weather

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

I so NEED some Vitamin D, not from some Vitamin bottle or that stuff added to some bleached out cereal or milk.  I NEED the kind your skin makes when those good old ultra-violet rays hit it!  I’ve been trying all Winter to catch what few rays there have been, even to the point of [...]

Storm watch….

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

There is a severe storm watch posted for most of the mid-section of the country and it’s headed EAST! I really don’t care much as long as everyone is safe on the highway, but it does make sunny days beachcombing seem so far away!  I miss Lake Erie and that wind blowing from the WEST.  [...]

beach glass…one more piece..just one more

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

We had a great extended weekend in Erie!  The weather was great finally!  And I got to do a lot of beachcombing along the Presque Isle beaches.  It is so much fun walking the shoreline with the waves crashing and the wind blowing at you!  The seaweed wasn’t too bad and the yuck carried onto [...]

A piece of green…

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

We left for Erie as soon as we could last Friday May 1st.  I was anxious about going and leaving my family after a whole week of family things with the death of my father and his funeral, but so anxious too, to get away! We got to camp before sunset and so I gave [...]

Happy Forever Dad!

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

As my Dad lie dying this past Sunday evening, May 3, 2009, surrounded our mom and all us kids I thought how he wouldn’t be here to say Happy Father’s Day to again or Happy Birthday, so I just said “Happy Forever Dad!” And that’s just what he has now “Happy Forever.” I will always [...]

things are rough at times but…

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I spent the weekend in Erie after a rough week getting Dad into a nursing facility and mom who has Alzheimer’s, moved over to my sister Pat’s.    I felt like I NEEDED to go!  I felt like I needed to get away!  It was a weekend of reconnecting with summertime friends..some of them are going [...]

I just did my first “show” with “Turtle Treasures.”   I didn’t have much time to prepare, but I did get to make some new products and it was such a great learning experience doing this show.  Home Depot and the Beaver Co. Times sponsored this local show to raise money for Habitat for Humanity. I [...]
