a gift of snoring?

Posted on April 26, 2011 at 7:28am 4 Comments

Well this is an unusual gift but it’s a gift.....I have a tendency to snore when I am sleeping on my back (I am told). My husband came home late last night got into bed and proceeded to gently shake me and tell me to roll over as I guess I was snoring. Well that woke me up and that’s not usually a pretty sight lol. So now I’m awake and he is sleeping and snoring loudly! I thought about now poking him and telling him to roll over as I was a little annoyed but......I thought wait a minute this…

teacups and a prayer shawl

Posted on April 25, 2011 at 10:48am 5 Comments

I stopped by a local farm that was selling  flowers Easter morning. They had these cute flowered teacups filled with pansies. I have a book club and one of the girls in the club owns a tea shop where we meet allot of the times. I was going to be with 2 of the book club members for Easter so I splurged and bought them each one. They both loved them. I also have recently started to knit. I joined a prayer shawl group at the church and yesterday started the shawl. I had breast cancer 10 yrs ago…

Day 5 Yummy

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 8:54am 7 Comments

Yummy Maple Candies............I was to vermont during the winter with my daughter in law who is from Flordia.  She wanted to try maple candy but never bought any. I saw them in a speiclaty shop yesterday and instantly thought of Cristy. I will not be with her today on easter but my husband will be bringing her some Easter maple candy so she now will have alittle taste of vermont in April. A blessed Easter to everyone.
