Have Fun Together! MM #18

Laughing during a photo shoot

If you were to ask what is the most unique thing about our relationship, I would definitely say it’s how we have fun together. We were friends first. It was not a case of love at first sight. If you are a veteran reader here, you will remember The Dorky Looking Guy! Having been friends first, it gave me a chance to get to know him.  We weren’t trying to impress each other as often happens when you are dating. [...]

He Wants to be Needed +Matrimonial Monday link-up

he wants to be needed as a knight in shining armor

If you have been married awhile, you probably already know this. I know I did. But really, there is nothing like being totally down and out of it, to bring out “Prince Charming” in your man. He wants to be needed. Normally, I am very independent. Not that I don’t except and want help, but if no one is there to offer, I do it myself and never give it a second thought.  I’m not saying I don’t wish to [...]

Weekend in Holmes County

Steam Engine and Caboose at Warther Musium

I’m not usually one to just dump a ton of photos on my readers. However, in this case I am going to do just that. We went to Holmes County on Saturday with hubby’s grandparents and youngest brother. Now for those of you who don’t know, Holmes county Ohio is Amish country. Lots to do and see up there. We started out by going to Warther Musium in Dover Ohio. Basically this Ernest Warther was an excellent carver who was [...]

Friday I will be joining Brooke over at Covered In Grace for a super fun link up! When I heard about this awesomeness going on I figured I should be a part of it too! In fact I read it to a friend who was hanging out with me at the time and she promptly begged to be allowed to video my totally awesome talent! Here she is: Um, does it look like she thinks I have talent? And my [...]

5 Childhood Memories of my Dad

My Daddy

In honor of Fathers Day I am going to share five childhood memories about my dad. Pardon my brother’s head in the foreground I was a daddy’s girl. I would do anything he did when I was young. Mom said I was in the shop with dad when he was working on a tractor once, and when I saw him wipe his greasy hands down the front of his jeans, I immediately wiped my grungy little hands down the front [...]

A Craft For Fathers Day

easy craft for little kids

I have the best time with the little girl I babysit. She just turned two and is a real handful (in a good way), and a joy to take care of. Today I took in some craft supplies, to help her make a Fathers Day gift. I wasn’t sure how it would go, because she is only two and wouldn’t be able to do the crafts I do with preschoolers. However, it went great! She is such a ham! When [...]

A Springtime Walk

DSCN5248

Quality Time = A closer relationship/friendship. Something hubby and I both love is nature, walking around parks and in the woods make us happy.  Many times we just walk, we don’t usually talk about anything deep or meaningful at all, “Look over there at those two birds” and “Smell this flower!” are about the extent of our conversations.   Sometimes we pretend to push each other off the path; or if there is water nearby, we may try to get the [...]
