Good Morning!

Been doing a lot of this..

watching my oldest wrestle for WMS

GO VIKINGS!

 

It's been a good season with a few wins and

several losses. I tell Z, "it's ok, it builds

good character" he doesn't seem to

agree and I understand, it's a hard

lesson to learn to be graceful

when you lose. But it can be done.

 

And then there is this boy..

with green frosting in his mouth at his

Valentine Party at school.

This would be his Valentine envelope that he

made for all his Valentines to go in.
Charming,isn't it? :)
That would be black and green
on it, ya know, like an Army man would have.
Need I say more? Valentines Day is NOT
his thing. And that's ok too!

Here is one of the things keeping my hubby very busy right now

Our annual Farm Consignment Auction. This is last year, the night
before the auction. The BIGGEST one we've ever had. This year
will be bigger yet. We didn't think that could happen. But it is!


What a Blessing!

And then, we have the ladies...
needing a lot of feed and attention in this
wintry weather pattern we can't
seem to escape for even a day.

 

My little man and I on the feed truck.

Praying that you have a wonderful Sunday and a Blessing

filled, last week of February 2010.  Can you believe

that it's almost March??? Thanks for stopping by...I look forward

to hearing from my readers/friends. 

A Few of My Favorite Things

My friend, Laura over at Elephant Juice did a post

on her "favorite" things. I thought that sounded

like a lot of fun and I decided to join in! I hope that

you do too.

This is my popcorn popper. Yes, it's old and I bought

it at an auction. Makes the best kettle corn

and I've recently decided to experiment with it...a tablespoon

of kosher salt makes some awesome popcorn too! My youngest

doesn't like kettle corn. So I always seem to make

2 batches anymore-we love popcorn in our family

and I make some about every night.

This white shelf is nothing fancy, I bought it at

the Goodwill store for $2 and painted it white

roughed it up with some sandpaper and its a great

shelf for my cookbooks(another favorite) and my

crock bowls(another favorite) and of course

some plants and my scentsy warmer on top!

This is one of my favorite devotional books I have-
there is rarely a day that I read it that it doesn't really
"hit home" and give me just the right word for the day
or the situation at hand. God's word is great like that~always
what you need, when you need it!

Ok...this picture is not of a wooden block
with a fuzzy sock on it. Your eyes must be playing
tricks on you! I do love these slipper socks in the winter!
As you can see, I have tile floors(another favorite) but they
are a bit chilly! They are not an attractive, slimming sock
but they do serve the purpose.

This of course is our FavORiTe college team! GO CATS!
But...this is actually a Snuggie, yes, I said a Snuggie. NO, I did
not buy this for myself or my hubby, it was a Christmas Gift
from my bro-in-law and I have made great fun of these
darn things...and now not only do I have my own, but...
I really like it! LOL It's pretty darn warm and I can get pretty
comfy in it on the couch in the supine position!

This picture doesn't do this little bag any justice.

I am a self-admitting bag lady! I love purses and bags.

I bought this at Bluegrass this past year and it's the BEST

$10 I've spent in a long time! I use it ALOT. Right now, its

serving the purpose of a wrestler's mom bag, full of snacks,

gatorade, camera, mapquest papers:) etc.

Don't know if you can read it, but it says

"BOSS LADY"

love it! The old western theme suits me to a "T"

My mandolin. It has become one of my favorite things.

I have always LOVED the sound of the mandolin. I am s-l-o-w-l-y learning

to play it. Have played it at a couple of "gigs" already and am lovin it.

I am happy with what I have already learned, but am overwhelmed

at what I have YET to learn.

And...last but certainly not least. My scrapbook stuff.
I love to do it, don't always have a lot of time for it. Have decided to leave
it set out downstairs and I work on it when I can. Someday, I hope
to have a room or area where I can set up a big table and be much more
organized than I am.


I hope you enjoyed looking at my favorite things and I look forward to seeing yours!
Join in the fun...come on!
