This is one of the new papers for 49 & Market Wherever collection. Someone added the quote about the craft store. This is so me and I may have some of the paper on order! LOL

Day 28, Sunday, January 28, 2024
I have been eating strawberries nearly everyday since March. Tonight, I opened a new container and this huge berry was in the middle of the strawberries! I was almost as big as my fist!
Day 27, Saturday, January 27, 2024
We went to the arena at 4:15 p.m. to watch our friend Corbie play hockey! They played one of the top teams in the country and lost 2-6. The third period was the downfall, but it was a great game to watch.
Day 26, Friday, January 26, 2024
We hosted a trivia night at the Moose Lodge for #Lymphoma Is A Loser! We had about 48 guests. Jim and I didn't have a team. We helped Stacie with check-in and the 50/50 raffle! It was a fun evening with many friends old and new!
Day 25, Thursday, January 25, 2024
This puzzle went together much faster than the last one! It is part of a box of 8 puzzles. I already worked the starfish and sea shell one.
Day 24, Wednesday, January 24, 2024
I am still riding the stationary bike when we go to Parkside. I just get as many revolutions in as possible. It's not about the tension... just the repetitions.
Day 23, Tuesday, January 23, 2024
I didn't take this photo, but this is what our back storm door has looked like the past couple of days. It is the only window in the house that isn't insulated well.
Day 22, Monday, January 22, 2024
I finished this Christmas puzzle tonight! It took me a long time to get this one done. I had way to many distractions in the evening. I started about this time last year, working on a puzzle for a couple of hours in the evening instead of staring at my ipad.
Day 20, Saturday, January 20, 2024
Coco gets so cold when he goes outside. He gets snow packed in his paw pads. I have to wrap him up in a thick towel and hold him until he stops shivering!
Day 19, Friday, January 19, 2024
It was only 13 degrees this afternoon. So, I decided to have a cup of hot cocoa!
Day 18, Thursday, January 18, 2024
Happy 5th Birthday, Lily! Where has the time gone? She is just beautiful!
Day 17, Wednesday, January 17, 2024
I updated my winter wreath. The old one had blue glitter snowflakes. I was tired of the glitter mess and some of the snowflakes were broken. These snowflakes are chipboard and the snowmen are wooden.

Day 362, Thursday, December 28, 2023
This is all the Christmas Cards we got this year! I think this is the most we have gotten in a few years.
Day 15, Monday, January 15, 2024
Today was Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Just keep moving forward.
Day 14, Sunday, January 14, 2024
Why do we live in Illinois??! The temps are predicted to be very low for the next few days!
Day 13, Saturday, January 13, 2024
This was the funniest thing Coco has ever done. I bought him rubber socks for the cold weather. He was trying to walk in them. I don't think he had all of his feet on the ground at the same time! It was hilarious!
Day 12, Friday, January 12, 2024
Stacie gave me this pan for Christmas. It is really light weight, has handles on the ends and a silicone mat so nothing will stick to it.
Day 9, Tuesday, January 9, 2024
It snowed today, but not a lot. It wasn't super cold so we went to Parkside this morning to exercise. It did snow more in the afternoon and evening.
Day 8, Monday, January 8, 2024
When we got out of the car, this huge fatty squirrel was sitting on the limb just above the fence!
Day 6, Saturday, January 6, 2024
I am getting the auction items ready for the month of January. Since I became the "Boutique Manager" (its is not a paid position!) I have been doing just about every auction at two of the shops. I am happy to say, we have made about $6,700 last year, selling purses in the shops!
Day 5, Friday, January 5, 2024
I didn't think I was a "tier tray" girl, but I guess I am. So I am doing seasonal...Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter to be clear. I am not doing HOLIDAY!
Day 4, Thursday, January 4, 2024
What a difference a few days makes when everyone chips in to help with remodeling! I spent the afternoon helping again. Spackling holes AGAIN!
Day 3, Wednesday, January 3, 2024
Jim had his last Cardiac Rehab today! I am so proud of him and his success with his recovery from open heart surgery!
Day 2, Tuesday, January 2, 2024
I went out to Timeless Treasure Market to help with the remodeling for the new year. I dusted and cleaned shelves, moved product around and spackled so many nail and screw holes so the walls could be painted.
Day 1, Monday, January 1, 2024
I didn't start the year out at my best! On Thursday, I started with a tickle in my throat and today I officially feel like crap! I had a fever on Saturday, so I do feel a little better.
Day 365, Sunday, December 31, 2023
The last few years, on New Years Eve, I make a charcuterie board for dinner. Jim and Coco had their nap as usual. We always say Coco is "couch surfing"! Good bye 2023...let's plan that 2024 will be better!
Day 364, Saturday, December 30, 2023
I think Santa is enjoying the beach before he goes back home to the North Pole.
Day 362, Thursday, December 28, 2023
I had to print this Shark Tooth chart. There has been so many people finding shark teeth at Holden Beach, NC. I went there last May and I found one tooth. I had to see if I could identify it. Mine is either a great white or bull shark.
Day 361, Wednesday, December 27, 2023
I ran to the grocery store and found these crab legs marked down! They were really good! We ate them ALL!
Day 360, Tuesday, December 26, 2023
Jim was really happy with his advent calendar. I guess you could say Stacie won Christmas this year!
Day 359, Monday, December 25, 2023
Here we are with our stockings. I really think the kids get a bigger joy from their stockings than they did when they were little. Of course, there is candy, lottery tickets and money in the stockings now.
Day 358, Sunday, December 24, 2023
We went out to eat lunch at Kouri's with Stacie and friends. John always went to Kouri's on Christmas Eve. They had a drink called "lunch boxes". Beer, orange juice and vodka, chugged. Since we had our Smith Christmas on the 9th, we just had dinner and I made a saran wrap ball. I guess it will be another tradition at our house on Christmas Eve.
Day 357, Saturday, December 23, 2023
This is currently my favorite commercial! John Travolta as Santa! I just love it!
Day 356, Friday, December 22, 2023
I've been keeping up with my December Daily for the most part. I probably won't get much done from this point forward until January.
Day 355, Friday, December 21, 2023
Tonight I went with the girls out to The Barn III to see their Christmas Play! It was so good! I love spending time with these friends!
Day 353, Tuesday, December 19, 2023
We drove around Pekin looking at houses with lights! This one is a friend of mine who's little boy asked his family to decorate the house for Christmas for his birthday gift!
Day 352, Monday December 18, 2023
This year is the 20th Anniversary of the movie ELF! We watched it tonight. Smiling is my favorite! LOL
Day 351, Sunday, December 17, 2023
Austin also replaced the closet door in the living room. This was the last door in the house that was still the original. Jim is loving how easy it opens and closes!
Day 350, Saturday, December 16, 2023
Austin came over and moved the light switch on the closet door! I am so happy! I cleaned out the closet as well, so now I can get the garbage cans in the closet!
Day 349, Friday, December 15, 2023
We drove out to Washington to the Griswold House. Andy was out front and I talked to him for a bit. It said he remembered me from the Rivermen Hockey games! We have gone to see his light display many times.
Day 348, Thursday, December 14, 2023
Jim and I went to the park lagoon. The water was smooth as glass and made the perfect reflection in the water!
Day 347, Wednesday, December 13, 2023
Lisa, Pam and I went to Snowman's Reindeer Farm. I had never been there at night and it was so pretty! It made the reindeer MAGICAL! We got to spend so much time with the animals. It was a great night with friends who love those reindeer as much as I do!
Day 346, Tuesday, December 12, 2023
I found this Charlie Brown Christmas tree and Farm & Fleet when we were shopping for the nieces and nephews for Christmas. I had to bring it home with me! It does play the Christmas song!
Day 345, Monday, December 11, 2023
We are at Cardiac Rehab again this afternoon. There is a 20 foot decorated tree in the lobby of the hospital. Perfect place for a Christmas selfie!
