Project Life March 2020

 I really can't believe it's taken me this long to do these pages. Part of the problem is thinking about adding info etc. about the pandemic in it but not wanting it to take up too many pages. So, thank God Persnickety Prints has the Covid-19 Timelines so I printed one for each month so far and just added them. Since they are 4"x8" I'll have to think of a photo to put on the other side. 

 

As always, thanks for stopping by. 

Happy 45 Year Anniversary!!

45 years!! 

That's a REALLY long time! We've been blessed in so many ways!! 

Like the healthy birth of our 3 kids and 3 grandkids. 

So blessed to call these 3 mine! 

Wonderful grands and a new one on the way! 

New house purchases.

 

Traveling far and wide...

My favorite trip was to the UK and staying at the Hard Days Night Hotel in Liverpool. 

  

We've had lots of laughs. Scary times too! And fun!!! 

Ziplining in Hocking Hills with Joe & Diane

Our favorite winter getaway..Riviera Maya this time with Jenn & Dan.

We've run in a few 5k's together and we starting running again recently. Our hope is to run in 5k's when we travel to different places. 

Learning to take a selfie LOL. 

I could only find two pics of the two of us in running gear. 

We've had a great marriage! I mean REALLY great! I couldn't love him more if I tried. He's my rock, my confidant and my best friend. 

Here's to another 45 hon, (or at least 20). 

 

It's the little things (and big)

 The little things...

It was back in April, all of a sudden my gold chain with little hearts on it that Paul bought me about 30 years ago, broke 😢. 

I was so sad. And grateful though that it happened in front of me and I didn't lose it somewhere. Of course being April everywhere was shut down. So I took it to a jewelry store this past Wednesday and they called me today to say it was fixed. Only $15 and I have one of my most prized possessions back. I'm thrilled. 

I love this online store..Buddha Groove and recently purchased a set of earrings. They are so pretty..

I finished a little sweater I knitted for Lottie. I hated the pattern. Originally it was for 0-3 months. A lady had altered the pattern to fit 12-18 months. I used that pattern as a test and it was too small for her in the arms. So when I made this one I made a lot larger. It's still too tight. I think I'll stick with shawls, blankets, scarves, hats and socks. 

And some big things...

Jenn and Dan did a FaceTime gender reveal. IT WAS SO EXCITING!!! 

I got a new car!!! I am in love 💓. It's a Hyundai Palisade Limited. 

Yesterday I went and got the two front windows tinted. Having a police officer for a daughter is intimidating in that process. I feel I want to go back and get the 4 a shade darker LOL. 

Paul saw a raccoon in our yard with what looked like a beat up face. He thinks it may have gotten in a fight or something. I called Avon's finest and they sent an officer right out. He took it in the back (away from any kids) and shot it. He then took it away. Poor thing. 

 

I'll leave you with some signs of the times funnies...

and this one? You got that right..

As always...thanks for stopping by..

Thankful Thursday!

 Hey-Hey,

Long time no see..like May? A lot has happened but it's Thursday and there's so much I'm thankful for...

I'm thankful for my hubby and kids whom without I'd surely be nuts (or nuttier) by now with this pandemic. 

I'm thankful for Face-Time because I get to see Elliott whenever Jenn or Dan are home for breakfast. 

I'm thankful for my friends who love me enough to text me every morning (Thanks Joanie) and bring me things like fresh tomatoes from their yard (thanks Bev).  

The fact that hair grows back...

I love that Persnickety Prints is creating and making available Coronavirus Timelines for FREE! https://www.persnicketyprints.com/category/covid-resources/

I'm thankful that my nail salon is back up and running and I mustered up the nerve to go.

I'm thankful for memes..they really do help bring a bit of humor in this bleak time! 

As always,

thanks for stopping by.

Re-do!

I can't believe it's May 9th and we had snow last night!! Ugh! Everyone just wants to go outside and walk, or I'd love to just hang out on my patio. Paul and I could roast dogs on the fire-pit..it sucks!!

I posted my Project Life pages yesterday from January and February of this year and I neglected to add photos of Eric and Jenn's birthdays. I'm chalking it up to not having pictures of either of their birthdays on my computer and part of it might be not just because I didn't have pictures but it's May, we're in the middle of a pandemic and I broke or have a hairline fracture of my rib. I'm definitely not thinking clearly.

So, I asked Jenn for pics from birthday (which I should have had since I was there!) and I found a pic of Eric from Christmas that will have to do as I can't find any pics of his birthday. They may have been out of town.

I had to do a bit of rearranging which was easy to do. I do want to add some thoughts here. I bought a Life Print printer a couple of years ago which is great for printing live photos. Everyone in the family has iPhones so that would work great, the only thing they would have to do is download the app to view pics live. But, I have noticed some of my online PL buddies are using Q Codes for their videos. Wondering if that would work with live photos and if it would be easier for the family to view. It's something to think about.

Here's my January pages.

                                

And February...

It's kind of hard going back to when the virus started and writing about it as it's now May. We're in a much darker place now. I'll keep my political views to myself so as to not turn my blog into something it was not meant to be and just put my thoughts in my journal.

As always...
