Outside my window...It is cloudy, with a threat of rain

I am thinking...That I better get my laundry done so I can play all day tomorrow

From the learning rooms...I am learning more about who I am, and how to be alone without getting depressed because I am alone

I am thankful for...My second chance at happiness

From the kitchen...smoked porkchops, sweet potato salad, asparagus and lemon cake

I am wearing...A brown shirt sprinkled with dog hair and green shorts bermudas with a tropical print in brown, tan and white

I am reading...our Chic-Lit book, Along came a cowboy

I am hoping...That I will like my new job I am going to June 1st

I am creating...Some extra sympathy cards

I am praying...For my husband to have a safe trip back from the farm

Around the house...It has been very quite and lonely

One of my favorite things...Is having a clean house

A few plans for the rest of the week...To get all the loose ends tied up for the person that will take my place at work

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

Memorial Day



Thank-you








I want to thank all of you who have served our country during peace time and during time of war. For protecting my rights as a US citizen and for protecting my children's rights. I want to share this photo of my dad, when he was in WWII.

My mom's card


Now don't get used to this 2 blogs in a day, but Gladdin's still outside mowing and so I'm living it up in the "lab" with creative juices flowing all over the place. Just knocked out my mom's mother's day card, and thought I'd post it if I could get a good photo of it. So here it is...you guy's get to see it before my mom.









The Other Side of Darkness

I do have to say, I didn't have many expectations for this discussion, the book was about a very dark subject. It was a hard read for me, and I almost didn't finish it. We had the discussion in my home today, and it turned out to be very good.

There was Kathy, Liz and Shelia,



Jolene, mom, Jill and Anita




our new Chic-Lit (Julie) received her bookmark


Beautiful baby Will sat in
Sheila had picked out the book , so she lead the discussion.
Missy took a liking to Linda right away, and got very comfortable, or is that boredom?
Linda brought me these pretty flowers, little did she know I was thinking some fresh flowers would be nice to have, but I didn't get around to getting some.

All in all, the club is becoming a great success. I used to read alot, but I haven't made time for it for many years, and really missed it. The bookclub is a great way of getting back into it, and my favorite part is the wonderful women of the Chic-Lit club. What great, intimate discussions we get into. There is laughter, tears, revelations, and healing taking place within our safe Chic-Lit family environment. God bless all of my Chic-Lit sisters, I love each and everyone of you!!
