Just a random post!!

Do you ever wonder what makes some people content with what life gives them??
I know people that don't need a bunch of extra fluff to be happy!!
I really admire that!!

These pictures have nothing to do with this post!! I just don't like posting without any photos!! So, this is what you get! A few more shots of our hall bathroom redo!!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a puppy with a wiggle butt to stop peeing when he gets excited??

Sir Freckels will be 5 months old on March 30th. He is doing better with the potty training except when someone comes to the front door.

This is what happens....The doorbell rings, all 3 dogs start barking & run to the front door to see who has come over to play! Freckels gets so excited that he starts wiggling like crazy! Looking at him you might think that his butt is going to wiggle right off.

That is when it happens.... the pee wiggles right out of him every single time!!

Out comes the disinfectant spray & mop for the ump~teenth time.

Cleaning up wiggle butt pee is getting really old!!

I'm open to any & all suggestions!!

Road Trip!!

Freckels & his people family went to Arkansas to see his cousins!!
Rudy, Freckles, & Otis chased each other & played until they collapsed on the couch!!
What a life!! Eat, Drink & be Lazy!!
Don't worry! The dishwasher sterilizes the dishes.
Freckels learned a new trick!
Just kidding!!
He got scolded after I took this picture!!
John helped his brother Steve build a pond. I think that it really turned out great!! I enjoyed just spending time with my sister in-law Lisa & neices!!
I'd say that our Spring Break was a success!!

Our pansies are are loving the beautiful Spring weather!!
Gotta love Spring Break!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

I love the color green!!
So, I look forward to St. Patrick's Day!!
Well, any excuse to celebrate works for me!!
When my boys were little I decorated for every holiday. Big or little, I was ready to spread some holiday cheer!! I just had to picked up some green stuff!! The only green the boys care anything about is the kind that is made out of paper, has a picture of a president, & has numbers on it!! I miss the days when they got excited about bubbles, silly putty, & sidewalk chalk!!
Give someone you love a little pinch & a big hug!!

Bathroom Update!!

This is a picture of our hall bathroom!


Those cute little blue flowers had to go!! The plaid shower curtain was a great idea 5 years ago!! Isn't it funny how our tastes change over time!
We found this textured paper that you put right on top of the old wallpaper.


Why do home improvment projects sound so simple until you get into the big middle of it!! Once you get started there is no turnig back!!


Here is the finished product!!

One project done & oh so many to go!!

Happy Valentines Day!!
Valentines Day is a great excuse to fix something "girly" for my sweet friends!
It's late & I'm gonna be dragging in the morning!
But, it has been almost 10 days since I posted last.
Life is just too busy!!
Most days I put more on my "To Do" list than I could ever get done;
which tends to make me feel a little defeated at the end of the day:(
Anyway, I decided to do something Fun & Valentiney!!
XOXOXOXOXO

Too Much Snail Mail!!

I kinda have snail mail issues!!
I don't check it until I have time to sort it!!
Which is usually once a week!!
My mailbox gets pretty full before I check it!!
I'm sure that my mail man doesn't like me!!
This is my pile of JUNK MAIL!!

The only thing that I get excited about is my magazines & coupons!!

The majority of my mail is JUNK & BILLS!!

This is my stack of KEEPER MAIL!!

This is yesterdays mail.

What the heck I'll go ahead & sort it now!!

Friends that have dropped in to take a peek!!

Music to my ears!!!
