a chilly and rainy day

Today brings us a sick child and a rainy raw day...boo to both!  On the bright side, I am beginning to plan some summer excursions for Al, Isabelle and I.  Nothing too outrageous, but a few overnight trips to various locations...one being Newport, RI.  I'm so ready for summer and it's hard to believe that I have most of it planned already!  

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!  And, may tomorrow bring all the hope and love of Spring!

Been awhile...too long

Life takes us on many different paths and sometimes we change course without even knowing it.  That is how my life has been over the past few weeks.  The news both nationally and internationally is stressing me out beyond my own belief.  I keep reminding myself that I cnanot change or fix all the problems in the world.  Not an easy task when one has so many opinions as myself ;-)

I have discovered an excellent deal from Kodak for Mother's

 Day cards.  Basically, they are offering one free Mother's Day Card to one million people.  You download your own pictures and choose from about 15 different cards.  It truly is awesome.  You only pay S&H - a mere $0.99 - cannot get a customized card for that price anywhere!!!  If you are interested, go to:

I've already done one, so there are 999,999 left ;-)

Also, my favorite shop on Etsy is having a clearance of some of her items - Lassie Girl.  To see her great items, visit:

I just purchased this cute pinnie and some fabric.  I so love Et

sy.com.  Handmade items can be the best and you tend to be the only one wearing an item verses buying from the big chain stores.

Right now, my little cutie is not feeling so good.  Booo....just in time for the Easter holiday weekend.  We may be canceling our plans if she is not better by Saturday.  Oh well, the first of many little illnesses in life!

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
