Grounded

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Mar 9th 2010

Well hello there!! I’ve been neglecting my blog for several days…. more than usual, that’s for sure. I’ve been pretty darn busy though, traveling to two different events over the course of 5 days – and putting about 700 miles on my van. Whew! I’m just darn near tuckered out!
First, I worked a half day [...]

Matters of the heart

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 17th 2010

There are many things in life that I tend to take for granted…. I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch, the food inside the refrigerator to be cold, and the water to get hot in the shower (eventually). Those are relatively simple things – all dependent on electricity and my [...]

Measured with love

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 9th 2010

“Intense love does not measure; it just gives.”
~Mother Theresa
Aren’t these the prettiest measuring spoons you’ve ever seen? I just love them. And I love the sweet friend that gave them to me!
They are  so pretty, I almost hate to use them. What do you think? Use them or no?

Sugar Overload

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 4th 2010

This year was by far one of the best birthdays…. definitely one of the SWEETEST.
My precious friend Shannon sent my this fun package:

At first glance,  I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at…. the treasure was well hidden:

But when I peeled back the *hay*, underneath were some serious YUMMMIES:

Can you say DIVINE?

Mmmmm, mmmmm, good.
Then…..
Midmorning [...]

44 Lessons I’ve learned

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Feb 2nd 2010

The past few years, I’ve taken a moment each birthday to evaluate *where* I am in life and to sort of see *where* I’m going. Maybe to see if I’m still on the path or if I’ve wandered astray without even knowing it. So, in honor of remembering life lessons, I’ve written a list [...]

Thankful Thursday

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jan 21st 2010

I am thankful for so many things, both big and small, in my life. So often I go through each day, rushing from one task to another, never stopping long enough to think about just how good I’ve got it. I watch the devastation in Haiti on the news and I cry for those people…. [...]

Ice Cream

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jan 18th 2010

Every time I am using an ice cream scoop, I think of my Granny.

My Dad and Granny, August 2001
When we were young, she lived about an hour away from us and I’d sometimes go spend a week with her during our summer break from school. She lived in a very rural area and they spoke [...]

Houseguests

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jan 11th 2010

Mr. Lucky and I have been married for over fifteen years and that entire time, we’ve lived at least 2 hours from our nearest family members. Over the years, my MIL and my sister Lena have visited at different times – others have come too, but not as often. (My mom came when both of [...]

Shoot 360

Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Jan 10th 2010

For several years, my dear friend Shannon and I have discussed the idea of having a combined blog…. something we could do together. We’d talk about it off and on and let it slip to the wayside because we could never really find a “focus” for a new blog. We both blog about random things [...]
