On this day seventy-two years ago, February 24th, 1938, my dad was born.

He is gone, but not forgotten.

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 [...]

In my mind, I associate Valentine’s Day with red hearts and flowers, chocolate and love notes.  A Hallmark holiday designed for sharing your love with those important to you.
Right?
But I suppose expressing your love can come in all shapes and sizes.

A precious home-made gift from Beebo. Can you tell what it is?

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!

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 [...]

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 [...]
