Wonder Woman Sugar Cookies
ByNicoleSeems like here lately all I’ve been doing is cakes… and I won’t lie… I kind of like doing those these days. There was a while that I hated decorating cakes but sometime last year I found that love and this year I’ve honed in on that love. In fact, right now as I type…
Fish City Grill – Rogers, AR
ByNicoleWhen we got down to the Pinnacle Hills Shopping center, we walked around Dillards and then our favorite jewelry store, Versona Accessories. As we were leaving Versona, I asked mom when we were going to eat. She asked what time it was and I answered 11:50 and I was hungry. She grinned at me and…
Here's to the Future
ByNicoleLike many of us, I am a creature of habit. It is comfortable when things go the same way, day in and day out. Get up, go to work, come home, do my workout, play with the pooches, eat dinner, spend time with hubby, throw in some horse back riding and time with the {step}daughter,…
There are ALWAYS things to smile about!
ByNicoleSo today is another wonderful round of 10 Things to Smile About. This month kind of rared it’s ugly head at me, but there are still wonderful things to smile about this month! 1. Does Easter 2013 count? I mean technically it was the very end of March, but I’m soooo counting it![youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hPROlpOdQU] 2. …
Hubby’s Birthday Weekend
ByNicoleI’m not sure if you’ve been around long enough to know or realize this, but hubby usually gets a weekend long celebration for his birthday if not the whole week. It’s quite funny! This year proved no different. Because of the Chili Cook-off being on his birthday (Sat Nov 1) and we were going to…
I made Homemade Pretzels… Coronavirus Day 18
ByNicoleI really think I should start calling it social distancing or homebound or something other than coronavirus. Ugh! Earlier this year I went on the Keto Diet. Right now, I say screw that. We’re really supposed to stay home and out of stores, etc. So buying all the extra, special items to make Keto meals…
I'm sorry you lost someone you were so close too, but I love hearing your family stories!
You are so right! The Youngun is with her Granny Bob and Pop Pop right now. She loves to spend time with them, and I'd never stop her from going, even if I wish she'd stay home a little bit more. I still miss my grandparents!
She sounds like she was a wonderful person, and I'm sure she knew how much she was loved by you. What a lovely, sad story…and you're absolutely right; we do need to show our grandparents our love before it's too late. I'll spend the rest of my life regretting I wasn't a better grandchild to my grandparents.
Honestly – if I paid for my sisters education and she did that, I'd kill her! I do love her story – one day I'll share my grandmother's story, its a very hard but inspiring one!
Thanks for reminding us how important family is!
She sounds like a wonderful lady , And I be she was proud of you and the relationship you two had
I know what you mean about being grateful for all the time you knew your grandmother-I was the oldest grandkid, and was 17 when Pappy died. I have more memories than all the other kids, and it makes me sad in a way. Because they didn't get to have as much time… but I'm so grateful I did. I wish John could have met him too. It's hard losing grandparents.
What a wonderful post! She sounds like a special lady and she was fortunate that she had someone like you as a grandchild to appreciate her so much as well. 🙂
