Trev's Coming Home, New Cut Outs and a Free Vintage Image

Hi Everyone!
I hope you all had a super fantastic Easter. We had a great one. We kind of had a little mini vacation here, didn't really go anywhere or do anything but did have a 5 day lull in our major stress factor. lol That was like taking a vacation to the Bahamas! lol Not really, but it sure was nice.

We're really excited because the count down is on for Trevor coming home. We're all so excited that we just can't wait. There's a couple of little surprises in store for him but I can't tell you just in case he checks out the blog every now and then. lol

But anyway, Tara's made a slide show for him and she did such a good job that I just have to share it. Tara and Trev are only 16 months apart with Tara being the oldest. As kids they fought like cats and dogs but when it came to loyalty to each other there was no stronger bond. Let someone else pick on one of them and before you blink an eye the other one was right in there. Anyway, here's her video. It has ads on it because of the music she used, just click the little x in the box and they'll go away. So now just click here to view her video Tara's Video and make sure you give her a thumbs up.

I have been able to get together a couple of new cut outs. Have you noticed them on Etsy or the web store? I don't have them listed on ebay yet. I'm kind of debating on whether or not to put them out there. Ebay's rules are getting to be such a PITA that I'm thinking about taking all of the cut outs off of there. Haven't really decided whether I want to do that or not but I sure am thinking about it. Anyway, here's the new guys, hope you like them.

















And last but not least, I do have an image to share this week. I think she's just the cutest little girl. Hope you enjoy and as usual make sure you click on her before you save her.



Have a great week, plumb full of smiles!

Trevor's Home and Free Thanksgiving Vintage Image

Hi Everyone!

I'd like to thank everyone for the sweet comments left on the tribute to Dad. You'll never know how much your comments lifted out spirits and helped us through a very tough time. Thank you so much!

Are you getting into the fall mode? I'm having a really hard time with it because it seems like summer hasn't even shown its head here. I guess that's because we were so busy that we really didn't get to participate in the normal summer activities. Cookouts and swimming and short trips and enjoying the grandkids during their summer break was almost totally absent from our schedule. :(

But a few good things did occur. :) We were able to squeeze in some time with my family. We were successful in getting DMIL out of the nursing home and the grandkids did get to spend the night a couple of times. As we get our schedule squared away and the estate moving along and the guardianship for DMIL finished, things should come back to somewhat normal.

My dear sweet Trevor is home on leave from Afghanistan for three whole weeks. And guess what? I haven't fixed him a good ole mom's home cooked meal yet and I asked him what he would like. Well you know what he said..... a turkey with all the fixin's. He said he won't be home for Thanksgiving and he would really like to have it early. So tomorrow night, we're having Thanksgiving. What a hoot! Have you ever tried to find a huge wompin turkey in September? Well, I think you can kind of forget it! I found 2 - 10 pounder's which are going to have to do. Guess that's pretty good... double the drumsticks.. lol But anyway, Turkey and dressing, baked beans, mashed taters and cranberries and apple salad with pumpkin pie and devil's food cake with homemade butter cream icing are all on the menu. Are you getting hungry yet? lol Anyway, I'll be very busy tomorrow with all the cooking. Thankfully it's cool outside so I won't die from over heating! lol

So in the spirit of our early Thanksgiving dinner, I thought I'd share a Thanksgiving image with you. This image is from the Provencher album. I think I've talked about it before. It's the album that was supposed to have Halloween images in it and all it had was one. But it did make up for that with tons of military images that I do intend to share with you in the near future. But for now, here's one of the cutest Thanksgiving images that I've seen. I hope you enjoy it and as always make sure you click on it before you save it.





Have a great week, plumb full of smiles!
