Marked Down Chocolates

Hi everyone. 

I have been busy, busy, busy .... trying to get everything done.  It has been a challenge to say the least.

Trying to get back into the swing of things of being back home .... what can I say, but OH MY GOSH !!!!!  I really would have liked to have about an extra twenty-four hours in each of the last few days.  My computer has literally been in overdrive. 

But, first things first .... again today I am using one of my freebies from last year because it's just plain easier!!!!  This is one of my all time favorites, too.

Here is the preview:

NOW ON TO THE BEST STUFF

 

I am going to tell you a little about my trip to Texas through photographs ...... my trip started with getting the suitcases out of the basement.  What clothes to take ... decisions, decisions.  Will I need long sleeves or short sleeve?

 

 

 

The trip is on it's way.  What adventures we are on ... it's miles and miles of scenery.  One of our views along our roadmap was Indian National Parkway in Oklahoma.  Where are the indians and the teepees?  I guess I'll just have to use my imagination.

 

 

 

 

One of my fascinations has always been deserted houses.  I wonder what happened to the people that use to live there.  This rundown home is no exception. Did a storm cause them to leave?  It just looks cold and sad to me.   And, for those that might want to know I took this with my camera going 75 mph through the window!!!  I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!

 

 

 

 

 

I've talked that hubby of mine into an earlier stop.  It's heaven to get into the room before 7:00pm.  With dinner at Outback Restaurant, then time for relaxation, plenty of flirting with my hubby, time for television and a good book and sleep are the order of the night ... and exactly in that order.

 

 

 

 

I'm dreaming of Texas and my daughter, Angie.  What better dreams can I have?  I know when I wake up .... I am really, really going to see her!!!!  Have I told you I have missed her like crazy!!!  She is my daughter I call "Sunshine".  Soon I'll be catching up on all the latest gossip.  But, I won't escape exercise .... cause' she's my exercise freak !!!  Must tell you, she ran her first marathon on January 13th.  AND I CAN'T RUN 500 YARDS!!!!  I can't wait to see her smiling face and give her the biggest, huggiest, monster Texas style hug ever!!!!

WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!
 

After all the hugs and kisses, Popeye Chicken and suitcases up to the guest room ....

it's time for Papa and Nana's

one and only

personal concert from Master Ryan

 

It was like heaven to our ears even if there was a "frog stuck" inside at moments.  His father kept telling him to get the poor thing out and and let him breathe.  What .... his father doesn't know great jazz if it bit him in the butt!!!  Just the same, these grandparents CLAPPED and CHEERED  because he will always be the best in our hearts.  This is my third grandchild and even though you're not suppose to have a favortie ... HE IS THE ONE!!!!

 

This is just a start to get your attention.  My journal will continue of each day.  I wanted to start just with this little glimpse into my world.  I hope you enjoy the trip as much as I did.

 

And, for any of you that are newcomers to my world, I want to welcome you.  Please come and sit awhile.  I offer daily freebies on many different themes.  During the next couple of weeks I will be doing most of them on the valentines and love.

 

I am sooooo glad to be back.

 

Hugs, Sue

 









Wrong Person

Yes, you are seeing right ..... I am finally home again!!!!!  And, I have to tell you it sure was hard to leave all that gorgious weather with temperatures of 75 degrees and come home to COLD, ICE AND RAIN!!!!!

Just the same, I am so happy to talk with all my cyber friends again.  It seems like an eternity since I was here.

I promise I will tell you all about my trip, but without delay I want to post today's freebie.  With Valentine's Day just around the corner .... this one pokes a little fun at CUPID.  Hope you don't mind.  It is one from last year, as I don't really have time to create a new one.  Just the same I hope you like it.

Without delay,

here is a preview of today's free wordart

 

This one includes versions for the others, as well

Again ........  I AM SO HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY to be back home again.

 

Got to go unpack, download five hundred photos, go to the grocery store, enjoy the quiet and go hug my bed again.

 

See you tomorrow.

 

Hugs, Sue

Just Hi

Even though I don't have a freebie for you today, I just wanted to say hi.

I am having the best time with my daughter, Angie and her family here in Katy, Texas.  It is just wonderful.  I am so relaxed and having so much fun.

My granddaughter, Abby is getting sooooo grown up ... it's called thirteen going on forty and her brothers Ryan and Sean are just getting more handsome by the minute.  Sean got new contact lenses yesterday and he is little peacock strutting.  And loves aaaalllll that he is seeing.  As for Ryan, he is silly as ever but soooo gentle.  I love his sweet spirit so much.

I have had hours on hours of just girl time with my baby daughter and I feel like I have just come home.  It is wonderful, wonderful  and more wonderful.

As for my son-in-law, Reggie ... he and my husband are just about inseparable and are talking like two lost cousins. 

We've played Dance Central 4, Halo games and I've watched more tech than ever.   I swear the entire family is connected!!!!!  IPads, IPhones, Kindle Fires ... you name it!!!

I know, short and sweet ..... but I just wanted to let you know I am having a fantastic time!!!!

Hugs, Sue

You've got this

One of my New Year's resolutions was to exercise three times a week ...

I have equipped myself with all the latest help, too.  I have three exercise "helpers" at home.  Now, do you think my Zumba Rush and Zumba Core help????  Yes, yes, yes they do, they do, they do!!!!  Unfortunately my husband is always laughing at me .... he says I have two left feet.

But, do I see him exercising ........

With that inspiration, my freebie today is on the theme of exercise.

You can download this at:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/PuYxtEz0/got_this.html

Unfortunately, this is not an original idea of mine.
And, to make it mine ... I left out some of the words.
Just the same ... I think it still means the same.

Today on facebook this was one of my
comments from my daughter, Angie in Texas.

To help encourage me to keep on keeping on.

Here is the photo:

 

 

So, all of my followers that may have taken on exercise as one of your New Year's Resolutions.

 

Here's to a healthier us

hugs, Sue

 



 

 



Fat and Skinny

Oh my gosh .... I have been away from my blog for about four days and I have fifteen comments waiting.  Needless to say, just as soon as I post this freebie

I have alot of reading to do

 

I have been working on a request for the past few days and I have finally completed it!!!  It is the first time in a long, long time that I have become "creative juices" stumped.  I can't tell you how many times I started this and ....

 

plain didn't like the results

but finally I am satisfied !!!

 

So, without delay .... Cindy

this is for you

 

And now to my preview:

Just in case anyone doesn't understand what this one means.  Everyone does need a FAT BANK ACCOUNT at Christmas time and who doesn't want a SKINNY BODY.  But, more often than not what we get is the .....

 

complete opposite

 

This one was really fun to create today .... once my brain and photoshop decided to cooperate with each other.

 

Just one other piece of information ... I am sorry to say there won't be many freebies during this month.  I am leaving for Texas next Tuesday for two weeks to see my daughter, Angie and her family.  I am so excited about going and just can't wait to get there. 

 

And, I am actually looking forward to getting out of the snow !!!!!

 

Hugs, as always.

 

Sue

Let's Laugh ......

It's 2013

 

A new year has begun .......

 

I could say all the same things that come on New Year's Day, but as always ....

 

I said something with yesterday's post that I want to continue on that theme ....

 

Laughter

 

One of my wishes was for us all to laugh more.  When is the last time you really laughed from your stomach all the way to the outside of your body?  That amazing feeling that can touch you right down to the tip of your toes.  That laughter that has the ability to bring tears to your eyes.  And, make your stomach even hurt. 

 

Isn't It Wonderful !!!



 

but, that's not all .......

 

I want you to look

again at the

world

with the eyes of that

child that is deep

inside all of us

 

 

Yes, I am that person that only wants to look at the world with all it's imperfections .....

 

as the most wonderful place to be

So .........

won't you come

and join me on the best year ever!!!!

 

And, now .....

it's time for me to say thank you from the

deepest part of my heart

to a dear, dear, dear friend.

 

Her name is Lisa.

this is the surprise she sent me today!!!!!
