Brandon’s work Holiday party was held Saturday at Cleveland Browns Stadium.           Each year the holiday party is held at a different interesting venue.  When we arrived we had valet parking which was great considering I have never been to the stadium and had no idea where we were going!  I underestimated the amount of time it would take to get downtown so we were early and waited outside at the gate. ...

Happy December and welcome to my new blog!  It just made sense to change the name of my blog to my own name and Brandon’s blog has been changed too.  It will make it easier for people to remember and find.  I have been busy getting this blog up and running.  Hubby did all the file moving, name registering and all the really technical stuff  (Thank You!!!).  I have been busy finding a theme I like and setting it all up.  I am still...

Each Thanksgiving we seem to be surrounded by a theme.  This year’s theme turned out to be “The Search for Brandon’s Grandma’s “Puffball” Recipe”.  It was prompted by Brandon’s cousin posting on her Facebook page that she was looking for the recipe to surprise her dad.  Brandon replied I had a similar recipe and I would send it along to her. Grandma’s recipe has been elusive.  Brandon...

My favorite holiday is coming and I had a few things that were sitting around here that I wanted to get painted for Halloween. First I painted a wood bowl.  I base coated the bowl in a antique white and gave it a distressed chippy look and  I painted a vintage style Black Cat.  Heed the warning!  I know our two black cats we have are quite spunky and full of personality! The bowl is currently listed on Etsy . I also painted another clock. ...

I was taking out our trash and something in my flowerbed caught my eye……. What the???????? Yep, my daylily had become this little frog’s hiding spot for the day!  I really wasn’t expecting that! Molly was not too impressed……. I’ll be back soon………

Brandon won tickets at work to an event that combines two things I  love, the zoo and baseball.  This year’s Cleveland Indians season ticket holder player meet and greet was held at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.  We attended a meet and greet at the stadium about 5 years ago and we had a great time so we were really looking forward to going to this event. We haven’t been to the zoo yet this season.  They have just opened the...

Brandon had a vacation day today so we took off to the  Hartville Flea Market.  The weather was supposed to clear up  but it sprinkled the whole time we were there.  There weren’t too many vendors there and the ones that were there were very busy covering and uncovering their items.  We did manage to score a couple good buy there. First, I bought this Star Wars Naboo StarFighter for Dane….. It is die cast and I can’t go...
