Laughing Through Life An amusing book to read: written by Connie Corcoran Wilson. I have to say that I really enjoy Connie's sense of humor. She has written some interestingly funny essays and put them together in this book. There were several laugh out moments while I was reading the book, that I can honestly say that even as I am now thinking of them while I am writing this, I am still

Attention All Dog Lovers!

2011-11-25T09:06:00.001-06:00

I am sharing this post. The dog handlers serving in Afghanistan at the moment have a big drive on trying to get people to send dog treats out to them to give the dogs some treats on Christmas day. One of the Soldiers is happy to have the parcels sent to him and he will distribute, so I wondered if we could call on our dog lovers to send a small parcel of treats NOT DOG FOOD -

Prayer Request today, please

I have a prayer request going out. My appointment at KU Medical Center is coming up. I have a rare congenital disease that causes paraganglioma. It's kind of a scary tumor right now, one that is on my juglare veins and such. Anyway, I can post more information about it later today. Right now I'm about to do some errands but the reason I would really appreciate your prayers and karma today is

The Christmas trees are coming!

2011-11-09T10:50:00.000-06:00

Yes, the Christmas trees are coming! 700,000 trees, can you imagine? Sure it might sound early, but this is the time to do it. Winter comes pretty early in the land of Christmas trees. The good news is that buying a fresh Christmas tree will be more affordable

The best way to wash a dog is at a do it yourself dog wash!

2011-10-31T12:13:00.000-05:00

I found a do it yourself dog wash here in Topeka, Kansas. It is also a car wash, but they added the dog wash room a few years back. I had heard about this place from some friends but this was our first time trying it out. I was really impressed with this place.

The Cadence Group offered me the chance to read this book and I agreed. The artwork is wonderful. I mention this first because it it what I immediately noticed upon receiving this book.

There are obviously some problems with my blog and I know it! The problem is that I am not really sure how to give it a blog makeover.

The goals that I had for myself and my blog are still the same although I have let so many things get in the way in

The heat is on!

2011-06-29T23:27:00.001-05:00

It's hot and it's about to get even hotter and did I say loud? The firework stands are up everywhere. But they don't all have gigantic dinosaurs like this particular firework booth. What a great idea this is, I suppose. I can only imagine myself back when I was trying to get from point A to point B and driving the Mom mobile. My three boys would have went crazy for this! This stand is bound

July 1st is the big day to move in, so I've been quite busy getting everything ready. The only bad part is that it's going to be hot!

Well guess what, I'm actually not talking about dancing. Although I feel like dancing, come to think of it! When life gives lemons, I say dance! Oh well isn't that supposed to lemonade? For awhile now, I've been on the lemon side of life, my personal life that is. Without really having lemonade, much less a squeeze even. lol Sometime relationships can feel as if all you can do/ or are doing is
