Weekend Plans, Freebie and Layout

Blog Prompt – Its Friday and what do you usually do on a Friday to gear up for the weekend??

We are rather busy this weekend since Glenn will be going to Georgia next week to visit his family.

We will finish washing the lanai windows today, clean out the car, take the car to get it cleaned up for the trip (its nasty for sure), get all the Christmas boxes out of the attic on Saturday, watch a little football, go to church on Sunday and finish the weekend off with football and getting Glenn packed and ready to go for this trip. Oh, I will have to go get my mom’s car so I will have transportation while he is gone.

I think we will get it all in. I hope.

Donuts Anyone?

Blog Prompt – Today is National Donut Day and describe to me your favorite donut.

I am not a big donut eater, especially in the morning. For some reason, my body doesn’t want a lot of sugar first thing in the morning. I would love to know why my body is like that because as the day goes on, sugar is always on my mind.

There is a place in Sikeston, MO (a town close to where I was raised) that had the best donuts in the world.  They made their own and when you got them right out of the fryer, they are the best.   They are known as the Donut Specialists!

When I moved further south, I had never had a Krispy Kreme donut and my future husband made sure that was one of the first things I did.

Those are really good donuts, but I was still a bit partial to our hometown made donuts.

So a taste test had to be done.  The next time he was in Missouri to see me, he tried Houchins Donuts and sure enough, he had to agree, they were better. 

I haven’t had a donut in a while and I will be sure to visit our hometown donut shop to make another sweet memory.

Digital Scrapbooking day is this weekend and Cara Mia Designs is having a great sale to celebrate.

Have another sweet day,

Halloween Fun

Blog Prompt: What was your favorite Halloween costume? If you went to a party tomorrow, would you wear this costume to the party?

When my brother and I were younger, my mom made us Indian outfits.  I loved that outfit and I wish I had a picture of it.  But, we do have movies of us wearing them.  I remember they were made of really soft brown material and there was fringe!  It was so cool for a costume and my mom was good about making our stuff for Halloween.  I don’t even know if they had store bought costumes back in the 60′s.

So, when my son was little, I made most of his costumes too.  My favorite was his Bert costume from Sesame Street.  I loved that costume and it was pretty easy to make.  I wish I still had it.

Isn’t it cute!!!

I would also like to wish Juilette Gordon Low a Happy Birthday.  She was the lady who started Girl Scouts.  A group I was very active in for 12 years and is such a great organization.

I got to tour her home in Savannah, GA and what a thrill that was for me.

Here is my latest layout with Cara Mia Designz’s Citrus Breeze which is just beautiful.  You can find it here.

Everyone have a great day and a Happy Halloween on Saturday,

It Changed My Life

Blog Prompt: Of the major events that have happened in your lifetime, what do you feel has had the most impact on you and how?

It was yesterday!!

My husband and I were helping a neighbor out by changing out the coach lights on her house. Always been an easy job in the past. Take off the old like, connect the wires, screw on the new light with existing screws. We’ve done it a thousand times in the past with all the houses we have worked on.

But no. Not this time. Who ever put on the lights before didn’t have a universal plate and for some reason, my husband was not figuring out the problem. After about an hour of trying to figure out what to do, I suggested that he take down the cap and put the new one flush on the wall. The screws were already there and should fit. He was adamant about it not working. So, he struggled and got the first one up on the wall.

We moved on to the next one and the neighbor came out and she chimed in and suggested the same procedure I did. Again, he gave us the look and went on to only have more trouble with the next light. He had the neighbor go to Home Depot for some supplies and we moved to another light, as I put on the new door bell hardware.

The longer we were working, I noticed he wasn’t having any trouble putting up that light and when I got done, I looked up at the wall and to my amazement……….HE PUT IT UP THE WAY WE (US GIRLS) SUGGESTED!!!!!!!! I think my eyeballs popped out of their sockets as I looked at him.

He hung his head and said,”You have no idea how bad this is going to hurt, but……..you were right!”

Then he had to tell the neighbor that she was right too.  It was bad enough to tell me, but to tell 2 females in one day that we were right. 

I wish I had a tape recorder for that statement.  It will be a day I will never forget and of course, I will have to use that now and again when my man thinks his way is the only way it will work.

Life is good, if you wait long enough.
