I found out about this place from Rik. So, I met Becky and Scott there this morning and had a wonderful meal. We sat in a booth near the windows - overlooking the golf course which, of course, is totally covered in snow. I've dined here before but never went for brunch. Great food. Great cup of joe. Great service.

Cards and a bracelet
I procrastinate. A lot.
But at least I have accomplished some stuff.
Unfortunately the baby quilt is not done. :-(

Changing the package
sometimes I need to reinvent myself
everything staying the same-o, same-o doesn't always work for me
and not even realizing it, I was in for a jump start
getting new highlights and haircut turned into a big and unexpected change
I found myself telling Lily - I need highlights....I need a cut....
but what I was really saying.....cut all this....and this off......
and she said, how about doing more highlights.....like mine?
and I said yes!
and so about an hour and a half later.....
there I sat......a totally different me
and it felt good
because.......
when you lose 30 pounds.....you need to change the look
and I like it :-)

Winter in Southeast Michgan
after all the hype on the news/weather where we were suppose to get 18-24 inches of snow
I predicted we wouldn't - and I don't mean to brag, but I was right
there was about 8 inches at my house - which was manageable
it's a good thing to be kept informed, but the media simply causes panic
I wish news/weather forecasts would be like they use to be - not overkill
but if this happens....forget the hoopla, let's just be surprised ;-)

Welcome to my little part of heaven..........
My life is about comfort and being close to the things I love, which means family, friends and living a quiet life. Embracing the small things in life is my reality.
I appreciate where God planted me and believe this is where I belong.
I don't know what the future holds for me, but as it unfolds, I'm enjoying the journey.

The Outbuilding
I love the morning shadows as they fall on my old-time garage. It's a good thing when your garage has an attractive paint job. Just don't look at the shingles on the south side of the roof. :-)

Sophie
My very special companion. We found each other in August of 2006. It was one of those things when you truly know you found the right dog for you and that the dog felt the same way about you. And that was the beginning. I love coming home to my Sophie. She is still so much puppy, but I know how quickly the time goes by when the years aren't kind to dogs, so being a puppy for as long as possible is fine with me. She is loving and oh so affectionate. A true cuddler.
Bob
Here is my tailless cat. His best friend is Sophie. Watching both of them is so much fun. I hadn't expected to get another cat at the time I was at Petco looking at the fish. Then I heard that there was a pet adoption going on. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love cats. So of course I had to wander over. I looked at the adoptees and my eyes fell on Bob. I asked to hold him and that was all it took. He loved being held and of course he was acting as charming as possible. I said "Wrap him up." Off we went to the car and headed home. Bob doesn't so much like to be held like he did that first day. But that is ok. He is my little buddy. He is very happy living with me and Sophie, but not so much Chloe. He pretty much keeps out of Chloe's way and when he forgets, she reminds him. Trust me, she does. :-)~
Chloe
This is my darling little kitty that has been with me for a very long time. She loves only me. Unfortunately her mom cat did not take her prenatal vitamins and Chloe suffered because of it. She has been blind for a very long time. The amazing thing is it is hard to notice it. She gets around wonderfully. Sometimes I get sad when I think about it because she can't see how I love her. But she feels it. She knows I love her and accept her for who she is - even when she is a little grumpy (don't we all have those kinds of days I ask?). God blesses our animals and sends them to us to make life just that much better. On 9.16.09 - Chloe left our little family to return "home". I miss her very much, but am comforted because I know she is with Daisy, Dumplin and Andrew - and can once again see as she roams in God's Home. This little cat will always be in my heart. Hugs and kisses to you, My Dear Little Chloe. I am so thankful for our time together. xoxo
