I’m married to a DIY- GUY. You know, “Do-It-Yourself” — which is both a blessing and a curse. I must admit that it is more on the “blessing” side of life though. I’m pretty sure my DIY-GUY, a.k.a. Drummer Boy can do just about anything I can dream up in my “remodel, redo, redecorate & … Read More
The Fox and the Hound
If you’ve ever seen photos of Yorkshire Terriers — or stuffed-toy Yorkies, you may have noticed that often times they have a little pink tongue sticking out. Our Yorkie, Maddie is no different. However, she has an EXTRA long tongue….and she likes to lick the air with it! At this point, it isn’t cute — … Read More
Out of the closet
I’m amazed, ashamed and astounded at all the CRAP we have accumulated, acquired, and stored. CRAP that we don’t need yet let it take up space in our home — cluttering our lives and space. Stuff we no longer use – (but someday might “need”) —that we just “put” somewhere. Like the closet, the garage, … Read More

Heroes, revisited.

You might remember a while back I blogged about meeting Blake Shields who is “Flint” on Heroes. In that blog (August 26, 2008) I posted pictures of my first born dancing with “Flint”. … Read More

Our kids are in Elgin, IL this weekend….spending time with each other – and making memories with their younger cousins. One of their big events was taking the cousins “goofy bowling”. They all dressed in crazy clothes and went bowling! Who wouldn’t want fun older cousins like these? After bowling – they had a movie … Read More

Fine Dining
Just a reminder….THIS is the real me . . . a “Wild Pitch” burger from King’s Tavern. Dining in fancy establishments isn’t something I’ve done much of. I think I can count on one hand, 2 fingers the number of times I’ve been in a really, really nice place. The first time was on my … Read More
Church browsing . . .
No, I’m not church shopping….or looking for another church, or spying on other churches. I just like to check out all the different and unique designs that churches are using when they build and create environments. I love the direction that many churches are headed — making their buildings a place for the community to … Read More
Remember when
Grocery shopping is fun when it’s at Jungle Jim’s! This place is an adventure in grocery shopping! “Foodie Land” is a VERY good name for this place… The entrance to “foodie land”…. No kidding….it’s like a theme park for foodies! It’s not fancy — but it is BIG LARGE GINORMOUS ! It has over 6.5 … Read More
