Just a Swinging!!!!

Here's one that we never thought of. Roz and her cousin Krystal took blankets and are spinning around in them. I was amazed at how fun it looked, but then Mom caught a glimpse and made them take the blankets in.

Decades of fun with the swing set. Years ago someone asked me what my favorite material posession was and I had to answer my swing set. My Dad made it for Rhonda and Rick and soooo many memories are being made. COME ON OVER AND SWING WITH THE BEST!!!!

Our new kitchen!

Even the little ones got in on the work.

Our home was built in 1910 and is a big ole farm house. The city grew up around us and we are now in the middle of apt buildings and parking lots.

Our kitchen needed an update (big time) so one Saturday in July my family and a few friends came and put down a new floor. Awesome!!!

Kyla painted the cupboards and Rhonda, Llyle, and Sherrie painted the walls. I just love it. It looks like a kitchen from the 1940's.

One of my favorite things!

Weeping willows are soothing to me. The way they sway in the wind reminds me of summer breezes when I was a child. Before A/C we waited for the breeze to cool off in the hot humid summer time. Then when the much needed rain came it was even better. I remember getting to run out in the rain and check the rain gauge. I still like to hear the rain and a good (not damaging) thunder storm.

Isn't it great that good memories make us feel cozy and can take us back in time to safer days?
