why is it that i always love to

change things up a bit in the house but,some things i like to stay the same? i have had these to pictures on my mantel for a long,long time and i still like them there.....the frame on the left is different but, still the same photo of my dad sitting in a tree a the " swimming spot" on his 16th birthday.the other is of my mom and her classmates sitting on the merry-go-round at the elementary school in our home town. both are great pictures i guess that's why. cully was outside awhile ago barking like crazy so i went out to see what the problem was thinking it would be a bird or a squirrel making him bark like that but, no when i opened the door he was standing looking up at the icicles barking his head off! lol! goofy dog!

this is our new paint color for the family room and the new curtains. i have to admit i'm a bit sick of the red walls after twelve years so time for a change. i didn't want to put up curtains cause we have blinds in there already but, we still get such a glare on the tv screen so, hopefully these will help a bit. man are they ever wrinkled! so you know what that means,lots or ironing! blech!!!!!!

our little sweet pea will be celebrating her first birthday next week and i got this jacket for her as part of her gift. love the colors of it. she will look so cute in it.

have a nice day!
