Day 56, Sunday, February 25, 2024

 

Coco likes to sleep on the couch while we watch TV in the evenings.  At almost 12 years old, he sometimes needs a "boost" from Jim to get him up there!

Day 55, Saturday, February 24, 2024

 

I have been cleaning and organizing in my scrap room.  I am building kits to auction at Timeless Treasure Market and donating the money I earn to Totes for Ta-Ta's.

Day 54, Friday, February 23, 2024

 

I bought this Lego Creator Camera to put on a shelf in my scrap room!  I may need some help from Peyton!

Day 53, Thursday, February 22, 2024

 

We went for a walk at Coal Miner's park this afternoon.  This tree is hollow at the base and it looks like it has grown an ear above the opening.

Day 52, Wednesday, February 21, 2024

 

The white car on the back of this trailer is my dad's car.  He passed on August 26, 2023.  This car was in Oklahoma in his garage.  His wife decided she was keeping it, even though the laws said she didn't get the car.  I hired a lawyer and the car was finally delivered to Illinois.  My sister will be the next owner.

Day 51, Tuesday, February 20, 2024

 

I bought Coco his St. Patrick's Day kerchief at The Picker's Daughter.  He loves wearing them.  He will wag his tag and put his head right in the opening!

Day 50, Monday, February 19, 2024

 

...my scissors, my paper trimmer, my glue, my photos, well all of the things, really!

Day 49, Sunday, February 18, 2024

 

Tomorrow is Stacie's birthday. This picture came up in my Facebook memories! I took this picture of her on her 30th birthday.  My mom and Peyton are posing with her.  I'm not sure what Peyton was singing, but he was happy!

Day 48, Saturday, February 17, 2024

 

This is the first crop I have been able to attend since last May.  Lisa, Tina and Pam were not able to come this time... so maybe next time.

Day 47, Friday, February 16, 2024

 

I found this cute little Snoopy cup at Marshall's!  I'm going to use it in my scrap cave to hold pencils or pens.

Day 46, Thursday, February 15, 2024

 

Jim has to wear a heart monitor for 30 days because he was in Afib after valve replacement surgery.  Hopefully, this will be the last test he needs to complete his recovery.

Day 45, Wednesday, February 14, 2024

 

Happy Valentine's Day!  I got flowers and Jim got to share his dark chocolate covered strawberries from Costco!

Day 44, Tuesday, February 13, 2024

 

Today we celebrated the life of Eilene Bingham who was 102 years young.  Andy and Stacie are in front of the booth that houses John's high school football jersey and photo.

Day 43, Monday, February 12, 2024

 

I worked really hard yesterday getting the auction items ready for the boutiques.  The auction's start on Wednesday and end Thursday at 7 p.m.  All of our profits benefit Illinois CancerCare.

Day 42, Sunday, February 11, 2024

 

Today was Super Bowl Sunday!  I personally do not know anything about football, but I love the commercials!  The Kansas City Chiefs won in overtime against San Francisco.

Day 41, Saturday, February 10, 2024

 

We got to help measure and talk about furniture placement in the new location for our friend.

Day 40, Friday, February 9, 2024

 

Today we spent time together to help our friend get her house ready to welcome home her husband.  Of course the cat had to help with everything!  I love that we can get together and help a friend in need!

Day 39, Thursday, February 8, 2024

 

This evening we had a "Pop-Up" at Whiskey Taco for Totes!  Pictured with me are Kim, Christy, Stacie and Sarah.  A few of the other committee members came later to help out!  We sold 15 purses and made $291!  The best part is we talked to a bunch of ladies to spread the word about Lymphoma Is A Loser our registered non-profit.

Day 38, Wednesday, February 7, 2024

 

We finally got to order Jim's hearing aids!  After waiting for 5 months, he had his MRI to rule out a tumor in his head and we got the appointment with the audiologist!

Day 37, Tuesday, February 6, 2024

 

Last night we had our first card swap of 2024.  We have 9 in our group, but only 6 participated this month.  Nice cards from my card making friends!

Day 36, Monday, February 5, 2024

 

This squirrel was sitting on top of the garage when I let Coco out this morning.  Jim put the bird feeders out over the weekend.  The squirrels have been getting their share of the bird food, even though the feeders are "squirrel proof"!

Day 35, Sunday, February 4, 2024

 

This pair of Bald Eagles have a nest in California.  The Facebook page is Friends of Big Bear Valley.  This is Shadow and Jackie.  They have 3 eggs in the nest currently.  We have been watching their progress for a couple of years.

Day 34, Saturday, February 3, 2024

 

I have seen and heard these 4 words from many people recently!

Day 33, Friday, February 2, 2024

 

Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow, which means, Spring is right around the corner! YES!!

Day 32, Thursday, February 1, 2024

 

We had Nappa Cabbage grilled chicken salad with warm soy dressing for dinner tonight!  Yummy!

Day 31, Wednesday, January 31, 2024

 

I say this sentence in my head before I write past 30 for any month...except February, which has 28 unless it's Leap year and it has 29.  And this year is Leap year!  I feel like this January was at least 973 days!

Day 30, Tuesday, January 30, 2024

 

I bought another clearance priced flower bouquet at Kroger!  This one had mini carnations, sunflowers and lilies. I didn't know what the green buds were when I bought it.  I still don't know the name of the flowers!
