Decided to jump into a blog prompt offered over at The Lightning and The Lightning-Bug today where the Dare to Share is to write about your dream job and what you hoped to become when you grew up. I was feeling a little dry uninspired after my 1000th blog post yesterday so I thought I would hop on this bandwagon and see what I could come up with. Thanks to the ladies over there for this great prompt!!! Got me thinking for sure!!! Enjoy! When I was little my dream was to be a nurse. Dressed … [Read more...]

I got creeped out today. Not an every day occurrence. I am usually fairly unflappable. I am the one that strangers talk to without encouragement.

Well, let me tell you. I was getting our delicious dinner of turkey lasagna, caprese salad and brussel sprouts prepared and there was a … [Read more...]

Feeling a little dried out this morning so it seems like the perfect time to post some pictures that Chris and I took at the Butterfly House that we visited at Put in Bay in June. Enjoy!!! … [Read more...]

Someone up there is messing with me. Seriously. I don't need drama in my life now. I have enough, thank you very much! (I really don't but I wanted you all to feel sorry for me!) You all know the story about Smiley the Hermit Crab. If you don't or need your memory refreshed check out my blog post on this day. It was a miracle. The neatest thing ever. Smiley even left me an I love you message in the mint where I had banished his empty shell...or so I thought. Today I came home to … [Read more...]
