Cnicinnati trip



Carl and I went to Cincinnati last weekend to celebrate Carl's birthday, which was the 28th. We went to a Cincinnati Reds game on Friday night. (They won, by the way...tickets to the game was Carl's birthday present.) There were fireworks after the game. The debris from the fireworks kept falling onto us and getting in our eyes. We went to the Zoo on Saturday. We didn't really think that we would see anyone that we knew while we were out there, but we saw our Pastor's wife sister (and fellow blogger), Kelly Stamper and her family. What a nice surprise. We stayed downtown at the Millennium Hotel, which was within walking distance of Fountain Square and Great American Ballpark. We really had a nice time. The weather was perfect, not too hot, but just right. We wished that we would have had more time there in Cincy, but maybe we can go back soon. I love the feel of the city. I love the old buildings and love being close to the river.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

I like these photos of us by the waterfall. It looks like we are some place exotic...

Candle Giveaway!

Image
Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
