WHAT?!?!

you wouldn't think someone so cute could be sooooo ...

Ornery!!!!!!!!

Well let me tell you he can be he is my nephew Sylar~ Cute as a button button ornery and stubborn!! But I guess he comes by those naturally wonder where he gets that from couldn't be from his Aunt Krissie could it???LOL~

He has a melt soon after mom and dad leave when I babysit I think I am going to try and bribe him with balloons and his favorite snack on Saturday~ When I go to babysit him or maybe see if I can take him for a walk when Paul and Melissa get ready to leave to distract him.

Will post an updated picture from this weekend hopefully of him with a big toothy smile he loves to have his picture taken I just need to become a better photographer. The above picture is not mine that is why it turned out.

A Veteran- Whether active duty,reserve or retired is someone who, at one point in their life wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life."

That is HONOR and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

So please everyone remember to keep our troops and veterans in your thoughts and prayers this holiday weekend and always.

I would like to dedicate this post to a friends son Seth who just enlisted, your mom Larenda is very proud of you and misses you a lot. I can't wait to meet the wonderful man that she tells me about all the time.

Let the Fun Begin...
Hello Everybodee...

This is my first post you wouldn't think that this should take sooo long to come up with... well let me tell you... I don't know why but this may be one of the hardest things I've ever written.

I would like to start by saying thank you to Heather a friend over at Hopscotch and Hydrangeas. Who has been encouraging and helpful with this blog. Through talking with her and reading her blog this blog would not have been started. She has helped me with set up and has answered many questions.Thank you Heather for all your help!

Why blog I decided to blog for an outlet, and a fun way to meet new people. It's also a way to share funny stories and pictures with friends and family. I can also get help with decorating which for me has been a looong and slooow process for me.
A little about me ... I got lucky and married not only my soul mate but also my best friend Gene. He loves to go to flea markets and garage sales with me. I love taking photographs of family, friends and my cats. These are my babies Stanley and Ollie . They were adopted shortly after I met my husband and we have now had them for 8 years. I also like to cook though I usually make so much that we have leftovers for at least a week. I learned that from my Grams, who also made more than enough to feed the whole family and send leftovers home.
My blog name that in itself was another long process for me ... To say the least I think things over. Then I think some more I pick the idea apart analyze it then finally reach a decision. Sometimes it was the original idea some times not. I came up with a different ideas but could not find the one. Then I took a friends advice and thought about what I wanted my blog name to say. That started me thinking . So I picked names and things from all parts of my life . Here is how all the parts of my blog name came together.

Life well it's had it's own quirks and challenges but doesn't everyones. Dreams well I'm a big dreamer I love to day dream and think that dreams sometimes hold the key to life and answers we seek. Journeys well let's just say that my journey in life has begun anew after this last b-day that I had.

Sit back dream, think and most of all enjoy and laugh!!!!
