Love is a choice

People are often mistaken that love is a feeling, love is not a feeling it is a choice. We get feelings from our choices. Our minds can make us do crazy things, so can our hearts. But our minds are actually in control of our hearts. After being married almost 28 years, I can tell you that you have to wake each day with the choice to love.

Whether it be your spouse, your co workers, the stranger who just ran over into your foot with a shopping cart. As your mind makes up to love, your heart becomes full and the love is so natural.

Monarch Stopping Place

Log Home Dad made me a beautiful flower bed just in the front of our home. Right before our Christmas party, I decided to trim the plants down a bit. I left the Milkweed because the flowers we so very pretty on top. They are about 4’ tall. 

Christmas at Our Home

I am a bit late getting this blog out, I am finally on the recovering end of surgery. I was scheduled in 2^nd week in January to have my surgery. I got a call while sitting at the surgery center ready to go in, that my surgeon was sick. Then I got a call that he died. That was particularly tough for me and shocking. His associate performed my surgery the following week and now 3 weeks later I am finally able to get my wits about me to get this out for you.

Homemade Laundry Detergent

I have been saying FOREVER I want to make my own… 
one of them is Laundry Detergent. I finally started about 6 months ago. Yesterday we got my daughter the ingredients and last night we made hers (I showed her how to make it). It really could not be easier and it is SO much better for you.

Just Say No

So we all have birthdays, we all love to get gifts. We all love to celebrate. But why would some of us want to put our friends in an awkward position.

Cleaning Votive Candle Holders

When our daughter got married almost 4 years ago (Happy 4^th Anniversary on August 14^th!), we did all of the decorating ourselves.

Being Glammy

When the kids first got married, I had told them I did not want to be a grandma for a long time. Afterall, I don’t look like a grandmother, I certainly don’t act like a grandmother and at my 29 years, I am not old enough to be a grandmother ;)
