About Me

  

Me with Lilian

  I have been married to the same wonderful man for the last 28 years!! He is my rock! 

I have two wonderful daughters, I will call them Sara and Sandy... (no that is not their real names, because I have not gotten their permission to name them as yet.) 

These two lovely daughters of mine are married to some pretty wonderful men too!! 

Chancey, and Barry. They also have some pretty great kids. 

Oldest daughter, Sara, has a daughter, Tami, age 8 and a son, Brian age 6. She also has two stepchildren, Naomi, age 10 and Brandon age 9. 

Our youngest daughter, Sandy, has a daughter, Lilian is only 17 months. 

I am a stay at home wife, mother, and grandmother.

 My grandchildren call me NaNa! (a's are long... lol) 

Rob with Lilian (Can you tell she loves her PaPa?)

My hubby is one of the sweetest men I know... but then I am biased too lol. His name is Rob. 

He has put up with me all these years, and manages to still love me! :D 

Rob works, so I can be a stay at home woman!

       I love to do all kinds of hobbies, one is to paint. 

Both signs, and some painting. 

I will post some of the old stuff at a latter date. I take old

 pieces of furniture, and make them new, (some are taken apart, and made new, some are just repainted or re purposed.) 

I love to do all kinds of crafts. 

And LOVE anything that is DIY!! (Which is the reason for this blog lol)

       I am 50 + years of age... my grandkids have a better idea of how old I am, than I do... 

I actually have to take year I was born and subtract the year now lol... 

(I have lied fibbed about my age sooo long... told my kids I was 10 for so long I really did forget) Some say that is just something I am denying... which is probably right! :D 

I am usually a very happy person, really love to have fun. 

I don't like housework... but I do it. I love to rearrange my rooms, the furniture that is. 

A running joke around our house is Rob doesn't sit down without turning a light on...

he came home one nite after working swings to find 

us all asleep, and all lights out.

And went to sit down in his favorite chair...

ONLY to HIT the floor. ROFL!

A REALLY BIG Boom was heard throughout the house.

Everyone wide awake, runs into living room,

to find dad sitting on the floor...

with this REALLY mad look on his face.

His favorite chair had been moved across the room.

Well, all of us girls started laughing... 

and before long, all of us were laughing.

:D

       We live in an old farmhouse in rural Kansas. 

Have a dog, Noel, she is a Akita, Australian Shepherd mix. 

She guards our house, and runs the roost around here.

 We have cats, usually at least twenty, but now due to either too many coyotes, 

or the cars driving down our road, we are down to two outside cats. 

And just one inside cat, she is a Siamese cat, 

thinks she is the queen of everything... including our bed! lol. Go figure. 

We have a two acre yard, that we have to mow, and I try to add beauty to, (planting lots of flowers). The only problem to that is... my hubby loves to mow... alot!! 

And if I am not careful, he mows them off. lol.

In order to not have just stems sticking up out of the ground...

I have started putting borders around the flowerbeds.

Mostly ROCKS!!! lol

Thank you all for checking out my blog, 

hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have... :-)
