Happiness is… Thursday June 14
Things that made me happy this week: 1. The Rain – it rained off and on all day on Tuesday which gave me a break from watering my flowers (and rain does such a better job at watering then my hose does.) 2. Sleeping in my own bed again. My bed always feels so comfy after being away from …
Oh My Word, Filter Wednesday, June 13

It’s My Life – Frittering Time – Tuesday June 12
It's My Life – How do I choose to fritter my time away? 1. Watching TV – my biggest time waster. I'd like to say Tivo has helped me cut back the volume of time I waste watching TV – but really it has just allowed me to cram more TV into the same amount of time. 🙂 2. Pinterest …

Receipe for… international travel – Friday, June 8
International Travel Even though I haven't traveled to Europe or Asia on a boat or in a plane, I have traveled there by cuisine. One of my favorite activities at Disney World (Epcot) is "tasting" my way around the world. Of course Disney World isn't the only place to get an exotic dish.
