Today I’m participating in a new-to-me linkup offered by Leslie at onceuponatimehappilyeverafter!  It’s called 10 on the 10th.  On the 10th of every month, she will provide a prompt to which we will respond by listing 10 things that answer the prompt.  There was no prompt for January, so this is the first one for 2020.  And with Valentine’s Day coming up later this week, Leslie couldn’t have chosen a better prompt to begin with: 10 Lovable Things About Your Significant Other/BFF!  So do you want to know what I find lovable about Big Eagle?

February is FINALLY here!  YAY!  I know January really does have 31 days just like six of the other months.  So why does it always SEEM so much longer?  To me it seems two weeks longer than all the other months.  Perhaps because there is so much activity in the months just before it, what with the preparations and celebrations of the holidays.  Then the celebrations abruptly end, and it’s just the long winter stretching ahead of you.  But we have made it to February, and I’m ready to look BACK at January and my favorite things from the first month of 2020.

On the third Monday of each month, I do a Memory Lane Monday post.   Yes, I know we already have TBT and FBF, but I like the sound of Memory Lane Monday.  Plus today happens to be Monday and I had a memory today that I wanted to share, so there you go.  So let’s step it up, and head down Memory Lane… Read more

We are practically to the middle of January already, and I haven’t yet done my last quarterly book talk for 2019.  So here it is!  I also looked back and reflected a bit on my year of reading, so I’ll end this post with a little recap of that. Read more

This guy is like, “Yeah, I’m ready…let’s look!” 🤣

Last year I participated in one of Erika and Shay‘s “Let’s Look” link-ups, and it was fun!  If you missed it, you can check it out here.  One of my blogging goals this year is to participate regularly in this monthly link-up.  It’s held every second Wednesday of the month, and it let’s everyone take a little peek into different parts of each other’s lives.  So it fits perfectly with the theme of “allthelittlebits”.  The year is kicking off with a look at our bedside tables, so let’s look!

Happy New Year, Everyone!  I hope your holidays were everything you wanted them to be!  We enjoyed them here.  Once my daughter Cara and her family arrived, I pretty much went on a computer hiatus.  Now it’s time to get back into the blogosphere, and I’m starting by looking back on December.  There were many great memories made, but I managed to pick out my favorites.  As usual, many of them aren’t things, but are people I love having in my life.

Tomorrow is the official first day of winter, so tonight it’s time to do the final update on my fall bucket list.  Seems strange, because once Thanksgiving is done and the focus shifts to Christmas, it always seems like it’s already winter to me.  But no!  Winter does not start until tomorrow.  And then it’s 3 L-O-N-G months until my favorite season.  So is there anything else I was able to check off my bucket list for the fall?

It’s the third Monday of the month, so that means it’s time for a Memory Lane Monday post.  I was a little surprised when I realized that this MLM falls on what would have been my mother’s 104th birthday.  So I’m honoring Mom by sharing a picture from each year that she celebrated her birthday while living here in Texas with Big Eagle and me.  Actually some years warranted more than just one picture.  With a bit of a heavy heart, yet thankful for the celebrations we had, come join me as I head down memory lane.

I’m waxing poetic this morning with song lyrics as it is our 47th wedding anniversary today.  You can’t say you weren’t warned! Read more

Another month has ended, and the last month of the year is upon us!  October was such a fun month that I didn’t really envision November being able to rival it.  But as the month unfolded, blessings appeared and good memories were made!  This month I’m highlighting 10 favorites. Read more
