I wish my mom was still here with us ... We love you!

CHEER UP!!

TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS,
REMEMBER YOUR ABC’s

Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits.
Believe in yourself.
Consider things from every angle.
Don’t give up, and don’t give in.
Enjoy life today; yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come.
Family and friends are hidden treasures; seek them and enjoy their riches.
Give more than you planned to give.
Hang on to your dreams.
Ignore those who try to discourage you.
Just do it!
Keep on trying. No matter how hard it seems, it will get easier.
Love yourself first and most.
Make it happen.
Never lie, cheat or steal. Always strike a fair deal.
Open your eyes, and see things as they really are.
Practice makes perfect.
Quitters never win, and winners never quit.
Read, study and learn about everything important in your life.
Stop procrastinating.
Take control of your own destiny.
Understand yourself in order to better understand others.
Visualize it.
Want it more than anything.
Xcelerate your efforts.
You are unique of all of God’s creations; nothing can replace you.
Zero in on your target, and go for it!

The orange smiley face is a card my mom sent Grandma Cora, and I found the ABC's from an old "Dear Abby" column my mom kept from way back and thought I'd post it here for others to ponder or be inspired by.

Christmastime

OK, I know y'all are probably sick and tired of looking at that hottie Carter Oosterhouse, (yeah, right) so I thought I'd post a few pix of my lame inside decorating. I did decorate outside a little also, but I'll spare you from too many pix. As you can see, I went with a mauve/silver/white theme for the tree, but everything else is green/red! Whatever. I'm not too worried about being too matchy-matchy throughtout the whole house. Hey, what'd you expect?? Martha Stewart, I'm NOT...!!

Merry Christmas and a Fantabulous New Year to you all!!

Yes, Carter Can!! Just a little "Eye Candy" for my blogging friends! You can thank me later...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

SEDONA

What? No Standing??

He's completely clueless! That's what he gets for his fake cheesy grin...!! hehe

Cathedral Rock

OCD...? Maybe...? Ya Think...?

If any of you are thinking about starting a collection -- of anything -- you might want to think again! As I was traipsing thru the East Valley last week showing houses to Matt (Les's friend) we passed this trailer park "home" with all this STUFF! Yes, there is a trailer hidden behind all the stuff somewhere, even though you can't see it. I'm not sure how they get thru all of it to get to the front door, but there must be a way because there was a car parked in front.

They also have a sign out front that makes it VERY clear that none of this stuff is for sale. At first, we thought it was a multi-family garage sale! Uh, no... it's someone's treasured collection sitting in front of and to the side of the house. Sad really~~~~~~~
