My Niece Went To Guatemala....

And all I got was this mug!! And I love it.. It has become one of my favorites. My niece "C" went to Guatemala with her church group. She had a very good time, and learned a lot. What a great experience for them. Her group also experienced 2 flat tires, a minor earthquake, and a truck/semi accident.. No one was seriously hurt, and all made it back to the states with only minor cuts and bruises, but she wants to go back someday. And with all that she still brought home a gift for her "favorite" aunt... Thanks C - I love you!!!

Just chill'in...

One of my favorite ways to end a stressful or not a stressful day- An Ole Fashion. Cheers!!

Meet Winston..

This is the Winstonator.. our "grand puppy" He loves it when he comes to visit. He is very spoiled. We give him "extra" treats and let him run outside without his leash. He loves it! Just dont tell his mommy. And he seems to be a bit camera shy- I could not get him to look at the camera for nothing... Such a silly puppy.

Easter

Happy Easter....

Been Busy...

Boy, it has been awhile since I last blogged. My days - nights and week-ends have been very busy. Last week-end we helped the kids move into their new home.. What a job that was. But sure was nice to get them moved in. We are so very proud of them. But I did end up having aches and pains in places I did not even know existed anymore! Sunday I started my 2nd painting project. Our living room.. What a job that was . I just finished tonight. I think the tapping and the painting of the trim takes the longest. And I added to my ever sore muscles. I am now ready to give my body a break for a few days. The week-end will be here again before you know it... and that means more pre-wedding projects...
Until we meet again..

Dress Shopping..

Saturday we heading to Green Bay to wedding dress shop. We had a 1:30 appt. at a very well know briadal shop. We got to town early so we decided to do lunch prior to going shopping. We went to a place called HuHots- it is Mongoluan Bar-Be-Que. Everyone that was with me has been to a place like this before. For me it was my first time and I can tell you it is now my new favorite place. The food was FAB U LOUS!!!!! You go though a line and pick out all kinds of meat, veggies - veggies- and sides than you add sauces...you than go though another line and all this food goes on a hot grill. To watch the guys cooking while the line keeps moving is just amazing.

So we finish eating just in time to make our appt. Good thing it was just across the road from the resturant. We get there, we check in, and we wait, and wait and wait. Finally at 2:00 they take us back to a staging area. Miranda had picked our several growns prior to us even getting there and had found a few while we were wating to be called back. So the first one she tries on is the one- this is the one she feel in love with and wanted prior to even seeing it in person. It was ok, than came dress #2- and #3- We all fell in love with it!!! Than came #4, and #5- we go back to #3- and it turned out to be " THE ONE" So, we now have the dress- the shoes and all the under garments to make our furture bride the star of the day. Here is a small sneak peak ( but, not really- I know I am a tease>>>)

A Sign of Spring

So the last few days temps have been in the 60's. Can you say awesome!!! Tonight I decided to go for a walk. Managed to make it a mile and a half. But noticed while on my walk a batch of pussywillows. Well I was so pooped when I got home from my walk-I had to get in my car and drive back to cut some. Yet another sure sign that spring is just around the corner.
