Works of Art
I do not credit myself with being particularly creative or artistic. I like to scrapbook and that is the extent of my creativity. I am unable to draw or cut a straight line, and as you see from my picture, I can’t hang pictures in a straight line either. Well, for Christmas my girls got…
Snow!
We got a bit of snow yesterday and last night. As I was gazing out my window I told my father-in-law how pretty I thought the snow was. How it looks so clean and new. How it sparkles when the sun or moon light hits it just right. He then looked at me and called…
What can I cook with this Lamb?
I was at the grocery store the other day marveling at the increased price of ground turkey and the poor selection of steaks when I came across a lamb roast that seemed surprisingly affordable. I don’t usually cook with lamb, as a matter of fact I can probably count the times I’ve prepared it with…

Growing up my younger brother thought that our step-mom had eyes in the back of her head. He was constantly getting caught for his transgressions. Of course me being 2 years older, and much more mature, I knew that he was just being sloppy and getting caught! I remember a whole week when he stared really…
Scrapbooking!
I like to scrapbook. I rarely do it. Because it takes time to pull out all my supplies, find the pictures I printed eons ago, then match pictures to different papers, and stamps and punches and embossing both heat and dry embossing. I have a ton of supplies to do scrapbooking. It takes time, and…
The Other Saltana
I have known for some time now that I may have made a mistake in naming all 3 of my similarly featured female children names that all start with the same letter. This fact really didn’t hit home with me until last week. My 93-year-old grandmother just comes right out and plainly states “I can’t…
Dear Santa (2)
Dear Santa, Now Santa, you know how much I like surprises. And most of the time I really do! This year you really out did yourself. Not in a good way either. Three out of five of the H family got the flu. Not cool! Even one of my cats managed to puke in…
