It’s dark and rainy today, very gloomy!

Not alot going on around here lately. Need to post more often and do more crafting.

Holidays are creeping upon us and there’s always alot  to do!  I really need to design my Christmas cards and get busy!

I see ideas all of the time, but don’t have the tools to do them. Who’s got money these days, not I!

Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it.

Life is what we make it, cherish it and don’t take it for granted!

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance.  They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life.  And, most importantly, cookies.  ~Rudolph Giuliani

I miss all of my grandparents, would love to go back in time and be with them. We used to have huge family gatherings for all of the holidays. Got to visit it Aunts and Uncles and so many cousins!

There’s one sad truth in life I’ve found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox~

Many times we hurt the people we love and never look back!

Frosty and cold this morning. Dipped into the 30’s last night, there goes my garden!

I don’t think I’m ready for cold weather, I can’t seem to keep warm.

We woke up to a bad dust/wind storm Sunday morning and it was that way all day long! Some highways were closed most of the day North of us with multiple accidents.

We had rain on Saturday, but it did not keep the dust under control.

Everything is covered in dust and needs alot of clean-up. Lost a few branches off our trees, but not as bad as in the past. Supposed to stay sunny all week here.
