Happy Independence Day 2018

For those that live in the United States, I hope you had a wonderful July 4th celebration. It was a good time to spend with family, concentrating on the positive.

2016 Year in Review and New Year plans

Posted on January 3, 2017March 21, 2021by Carmen

Everywhere I turn I see posts and comments that show people that can’t wait for this year to end and the new one to begin because 2016 was so “awful”.  Personally, I don’t think the year and any more ups or downs than an average year.  It’s more about attitude and how you decide to […]

FO Friday – Christmas reveal

Posted on January 10, 2015August 10, 2021by Carmen

Finally! I can show off all the wonderful things I made at the end of the year but didn’t want the recipients to see! In no particular order … I planned to keep things simple this year and just buy gifts instead of stressing myself out to make them.  I think that lasted from October […]

American flags at the Vietnam War Memorial

Today is Veterans Day.  I wonder how many American’s don’t know this is also Armistice Day, Remembrance Day and the anniversary of the end of World War I.  Despite the turmoil and bipartisanship this country is going through, we would not enjoy the freedoms we find today without the sacrifice of the veterans – and […]
