NaBloWriMo - Monday Memories 5 - Th Th That's All Folks

October 29, 2012

For our finally Monday memories I thought I'd share with you a few things that I really loved about my childhood. Saturday mornings sometimes we'd go over to my grandmother's house and she'd put on cartoons for us. Much like all kids, I loved cartoons. I also liked some of those that used to come on after school.

I'm going to share a few of my favorites.

Our course our little Yorkie Froggy woke us up with her barking. Hubby tries to "shush" her but has trouble getting "Froggy" out. He complains, Froggy is such a hard word to say. I said no it's not and began to sing: "Froggy wenta courting he did right, Crambone" He said, what the hell are you talking about. So I shared this:

This led to a wonderful idea to share cartoons from my childhood.

Another one of my favorites is "The Homesteader", I loved love Droopy.

Ralph and Sam

Pepe Le Pew

Bugs Bunny

Tom and Jerry

And where would we be without Mark Anthony

Well that's it... my last Monday Memories. I hope you've enjoyed it. If you have time, take a minute to head over and find some of your favorites. It just might make you smile.

Namaste & Blessed Be

NaBloWriMo - Monday Memories 4 – Buying a House

October 22, 2012

Ten years ago this month I met and fell in love with my amazing hubby; we started on what we called our five year plan. Our plan was that we would own our own home within that time frame. By year two we were both unemployed due to layoffs in our industry and we were just trying to make ends meet.

We had a kid to get out of high school and get into college as well as a budding boxer business to get off the ground. With each door that closes another opens, and we ended up in a position that would allow us to continue to assist with the kid’s education but also allow us to move to the east coast.

November 2005 we drove to the Cliffs of the Neuse State Park and saw this view:

By the end of the year we were all moved in. I did several turn and burn plane rides to bring Sheba, Duchess and the kid to NC. We had seasons!

Here we are now, 2012 with a budding business and our relationship still going strong.

I've discovered a passion for Sculpting!

NaBloWriMo - Monday Memories 2

October 8, 2012

For Monday Memories part 1 I posted pictures of the past year, the relationships I've lost or people I've lost over the years. Today I'm going to focus on my best friend.

Ten years ago I met an amazing person. We've been though so much together. We've transitioned into new people, but yet at our core still the very same. We've fought joblessness and celebrated in amazing rewards. We've watched as our daughter moved from High School through an advanced studies degree.

From our very first photo as a couple...
