Winter Home...



Our winter home after a snow looks like a cabin in the woods.
We've had the flu this week...you know, the sore throat kind complete with chills, headache, and a nagging cough.

Most of my weekends I'm indoors anyway. This one is a long one. Was home two days off work and have this Monday off for President's Day.

Slept most of Friday away. Saturday will be sanding plaster fill, washing walls, priming and painting one of two bedrooms I've been working on. Our daughter gets the larger bedroom, while the grandsons and our son, when they visit, get the smaller bedroom/den. Her room is already painted a soft chartreuse and the other room will be a soft taupe if I picked up the right color at Lowe's.

Once the rooms are put back together will post photos of them, plus other rooms finished and working on.

Will resurface to post on Sunday, as watching the two grandsons at their house on Saturday night.

Have a great Saturday.
Marilyn

I'm Back Again...Thanks, Holly

After a year off from this blog, I have decided to come back. Life was slow and I was in a fog since losing sister Martha on my birthday in 2008, but now I am starting to want to live again.

Will be posting from time to time again.... Hope you will check back in with me. Love, Marilyn

If friends were flowers, I'd pick you !

Left to right: Matilda Wren, Malissa, Malissa's husband Jeff, Linda, Michael, Mackenzie, Mitchell, Grandma Besse, (family friend) Monica, George Oliver. (Friend Linda used to write reminders on her hand, so the tattoo artist who did her image included a message on her hand...this is so Linda. Linda died due to a tumor or cancer in the brain...we have not been told what happened.) How do I say good-bye to my friend Linda? For 13 yrs. we shared our highs and lows. And in that time her five kids Malissa, Michael, Monica, Mitchell and Mackenzie, her 90 yr. old Hungarian mother Besse , her son in law Jeff and two grandchildren Matilda Wren and George Oliver were family to me. Linda had been divorced since her children had been toddlers. She had raised them all by herself in a Bohemian household filled with love and artistic creativeness. All of her kids had been on Homecoming Courts, all beautiful and each a part of Linda. Malissa had her mothering skills and was nurturing to the grand...

Retirement Looming

Now that teaching is drawing to a close...June is but a few months away...I find myself thinking of the words to the song, "Is that all there is, is that all there is, then lets keep dancing, bring on the beer, and have a ball...if that's all, there is." I think Peggie Lee sang it. ---- It's like closing off a part of myself that has been me for the last 30 years and entering a new life in retirement. Marilyn Above painting done by a California artist by the name of Hessam...saw his work at a beautiful gallery in Petoskey, Michigan.
