Snow Day…it’s March and still winter!

just when you think it’s okay to go outside and enjoy the flowers….here we are back in snow.

A touch of Blarney

John Lynn lived in this castle in Diagonal Ireland…..this is part of our family line.

We are so Irish! Neely’s, O”Flynn, Lynn, Davis, Durbin, and the list goes on. I really love finding the history of our family. They came to this country under bad times and helped to build a nation. I have red hair and brown eyes….no need to wear the green.

A little Puppy Love…

Have a great day!!!!

Homemade card for Summit

Very Cool to be 12….Happy Birthday…it was so much fun!

Aprons

I am so glad aprons are back. There is even a magazine just for aprons, so cute. I am thinking about making some for the girls. Now to find a pattern that I like as much as the ones in the picture.

It snow today and my Tulips are showing their greens. Spring is coming!!!

Our House

I have added a second blog. Since I am doing family research, This will be a fun way to share. I really want to write some stories and information about things that are memories in my head that need to come out:)

Cascade Christian Camp, Idaho

I know we are a long way to Easter, but there is always the cross.

This is where each summer I came to teach and play with many wonderful teens.

The cross is over looking Cascade lake where I have been sailing with friends, drove a snowmobile on it when the lake was frozen. And here under the cross we had big late night fires while we sang and told so many stories. So many wonderful moments with friends and family.

This is a place for me to go when life gets to hard, nature has away of clearing the mind if you are still and listen. And the cross reminds me that I am not alone.

Academy Award time again…..

  I will be waiting to see what Janet comes up with for the big night…..I am coming alone…I plan to party hard..:) I went shopping yesterday, I just kept thinking red…so here is what I will be wearing in Hollywood….via: Idaho. 

 In my purse will be lip gloss, a set of keys,my license, a small comb, and breath mints. Oh yes, a safety pen just in case, and a very small camera.

See ya there!!!!

Hand made bag……

 

It had been awhile since I did some fabric craft. I do love to quilt especially for my friend.

When I was 5 years old.

 

I hated to have my picture taken outside. The sun hurt my eyes.

I lived with my Grandparents.

I wasn’t in school because church school kids started at age 6.

I would recite verses from the Bible in front of church often.

Nightly I prayed with my Grand mommy.

I loved my little cousin Lee, He and I became playmates.

I missed my Mama, I thought she was an angel that came to visit sometimes. She smelled so good. 

We lived in a small town called Pixley, California. In the valley of California, You knew everyone. No TV, so people visited on their front porch or yard. My grand mommy would stand by the fence talking to the neighbors a lot.

I played mostly with my Uncle Buddy, Aunt Sweetie, and Auntie Sug.

I was a lonely little girl.

I was and still am a chatter Box. I must have drove my Grand mommy half nuts…but she listened and loved me always.

I had make believe friends, If they could talk about me now, what did I share with them and no one else.

Family was the most important thing. We seemed to always have visits from different branches of the family.

Always room for one more at my grandparents table…always a lot of good food.

I did not like many foods. I was very thin.

When I was 5 years old…..

 

 

 

Thought for today….

I have never been one to be jealous. I seem to find joy in what someone else is doing or have. I have no time for such thought. And I have low self esteem…go figure? Years ago I started to make a list of people I would want to be for a church Sunday school project…So during class, I asked the youth to make a list too.

When everyone was done, I shared my empty page. And to my surprise there were many empty pages shown that morning.

The things that make us different are the treasures within each of us. Dream your Dream, it belongs to only you.

Snow this morning and 20 degree’s

News reporting black ice all through our valley. But the sun is shinning so we should start to melt later in the day. There is only about a inch, but that inch can be very hard for the driving when it is this cold. The kids were having fun at the school bus stop this morning. Just enough snow to slide in really good. They were having fun. So it is a snow day, and it is really pretty out.
