Hello March!


I'm so happy March is here
It means change...
Change in the season
or at least hopes in change
It means Spring is close by

March for me is a lot to look forward to..

In a week Katelyn has her Senior Class trip to Florida
I'm excited for her to go to Disneyworld with her friends.

On the 19th is my 24th Wedding Anniversary...
Feels like yesterday...24 years! wow!

On the 28th my baby turns 18!!
Also feels like yesterday....18 years old!
WOW!

Today is my nephew Connor's 12th Birthday!
Happy Birthday buddy!

Tonight is my theater group..
We are seeing Les Miserables
I've seen it before in Utah and loved it..

Hello March!!
Have a wonderful day!

Home again....


There is something to be said about sleeping in your own bed!
We just got back from a week in Utah.
It was nice to go "HOME"
It's been almost 4 years since we moved from there....
It's gone by fast
It's weird to drive by our house and see renter's living in it...
It's nice to see family, friends and eat and shop at our favorite places...
And of course enjoy the gorgeous
Wasatch Mountains!


My hubby skied everyday...
I skied 2 plus days...
I got altitude sickness the first day...
that was fun...NOT! 

Goodbye blue skies of Utah!
Hello gray blah skies of Buffalo!
Happy Tuesday!!

Not in a instant...

We started our Master Bedroom redo over Christmas break....
We finished our Master Bedroom redo over President's Day break...

Here is my Instagram collage of our room..
Sorry it's dark...
the colors look so much better at night...

All that is left to do is stain the dressers in the Spring a blackish brown color.
I love how everything turned out...
Especially the picture wall...
I won't even tell you how long it took for my engineer perfectionist hubby to hang
30 pictures....perfectly level...
There is no such thing as slapping a nail up here! 

I love this pop of color, found it on Pinterest in yellow 
and Katelyn did her magic and changed the color to match my theme.

What's up with....

The DOUBLE word verification!!!


As if my eye sight needs verification that it's time for readers...
Why blur one part....
I don't mind the word verification...
I know some blogger's won't leave a comment if there is one...
I go back and forth having it...
I hate spam...
But really this is crazy!! 
Thoughts anyone????

Sunday in My City- Dreams do come true!



What do daredevils dream of....
doing daring things..

This week in my neck of the woods 
the final go ahead was given
for tightrope walker Nik Wallenda to cross 
Niagara Falls from US side to Canada side
220 feet above the Falls 
1,800 ft. long walk
it will take 40 minutes....

This has been his dream since he was 6 years old
He is 7th generation of the famous
Flying Wallendas 



The event will happen this summer....
So if you are looking for something to do this summer...
It will be quite a sight....

What's going on in your city?
Stop by Unknown Mami and travel the world with her

Happy Sunday!

Wednesday Hodgepodge


1. George Washington-Abraham Lincoln-Thomas Jefferson...who would you most like to meet and why?

I would say all would be nice but maybe George Washington...why...he was our first President, I think he would be interesting to know about what it was like. Also like to talk about his teeth and what it was like to eat with wooden teeth....etc...


2. What's your favorite chain restaurant?


PF Changs or Cheesecake Factory....yum!

3. I spied this question on the Bears at Home blog last week and she gave me permission to steal borrow it-

When you look back on your life, do you imagine you'll think about the goals you failed to meet with regret? Or will you look at what you accomplished and say: it was good?

I think it's human nature to have some regret but all in all I would say it was good.

4. Grapefruit-take 'em or leave 'em? Given the choice between an orange and a grapefruit which would you choose? Would you prefer it served as is or squeezed into juice?

I wish I like Grapefruit so I'll go with an orange...as is!

5. When was the last time you cleaned out a closet? Is there a closet in your home that currently needs cleaning? What are you waiting for?

I like cleaning and organizing my closet so I do it quite often. Last time probably two weeks ago. Right now our coat closet needs attention...all the hats and gloves are thrown on a shelf and a mess. Maybe today!

6. You get to have lunch with three famous people...who would you like to see round your table?

Oprah Winfrey, Anderson Cooper and Barack Obama

7. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your ability to parallel park?

Sadly maybe a 2-3....in all my years of driving not a lot of opportunity or maybe it was avoidance! Katelyn on the other hand is a pro but she is fresh off the Driver's Ed circuit !
My sister posted this video it's a friend of hers .....I love it and laughed and cried and totally can relate. If you have time watch it...it's funny! 

8. Insert your own random thought here.



Stop by Joyce's at From this side of the Pond for more Wednesday Hodgepodge!
Happy Wednesday!
