Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day weekend

I want to remember the sacrifices my fore-fathers made in each of the wars that have been fought to obtain and keep our freedom and protect us .... Thank You, Daddy, Granddad, Great-Grandad and other Great-Grandads back as far as I have traced to before the Revolutionary War .... I also want to thank the men and women of today for the same sacrifices they make on an ongoing basis to keep us free and safe ... Linda

Happy Mother's Day everyone

May your day be filled with love and laughter ..... remember all the sweet smiles and I love yous that those wonderful kids gave you though out time ......

Happy Easter everyone ...

Ok new Studio/Study

this is soooooo much smaller than the other house and I now have to share the space with DH and Genealogy so here it is ... oh you can see some things still stacked on the floor and they need to find a home and I won't even show you the closet yet cause it still looks a mess that will come later .... oh and you notice I didn't even take a photo of my work surface cause it's a mess still too .... ok they didn't load correctly so the 4th & 5th one go before the 1st one (that is if you want to see the correct 360 view) ... oh I owe a HUGE thanks to my niece Phyllis for hanging my shelves especially the ones in the corner that hold my ribbons and a HUGE thanks to my son-in-law for building the desk and hanging some of the black shelves not to mention all the other things he has helped us with here ... I want to thank all for helping so much, the list is Matthew our Network specialist, Marcus our muscle and software specialist, Heather, Leita & Phyllis for moving, packing, unpacking and helping put things in place .... I owe you lots, just remember what I always say "what goes around comes around" so maybe someone will help you in your OLD age ..... ;-D ... Linda

May the luck of the Irish bless your home and all that dwell within!
