Little Cousins

Since my cousin Lynn has been taking classes and working as a unit secretary on the weekends, we have not seen her, Michael, or their little girls lately. I was looking at these pictures of Brooklynn and Mackenzie in my wallet the other day, thinking about how much I miss them. They are my cousins, once removed, but they are like nieces to me.

Mackenzie (1 and 1/2)




Well, Sunday, I got a treat. My Uncle Steve and Aunt Kathy came out to Grandma's house for Sunday dinner and brought the girls with them along with my cousin Jeremy and his girlfriend. It was soo good to see "my" girls! They never fail to make me laugh. They are growing up so fast! And talking so much!! As soon as Mackezine came in the house, she started saying "I want to eat!" A girl after my own heart she is... I had to snap some photos of them. My mom stayed home to get some rest since she has been working a lot of hours this past week, so she missed seeing Brooklynn and Mackenzie. Here are some of the pics I took to show Mom.

Candle Giveaway!

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!
