Crafts, Outings, and a Mustache Cat

It about time I post some new pictures up of what I have been up to. I have not done so in a while because I did not feel like digging up the cord for the camera to connect it to my computer. However, just two days ago, I figured out that I can take the memory card of the camera and plug it into the computer. Duh! Here they are...

A snow cone on a Popsicle stick. Genius!














My succulents are growing like crazy. They survived this winter's snow storms outside. Yes, I left them outside; but I guess they liked that.















My lilacs finally in bloom after three years of waiting.

I'm Back!

I'm back from a long summer with a fun vacation that seemed too short.

My husband and I went to Delaware and visited New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The weather was muggy and all the houses looked like they were owned by Martha Stewart. Sights we saw were paper weights at the Wheaten Arts & Cultural Center, flowers at Longwood Gardens, and history in the historical district in Philadelphia. I definitely want to go back and see everything I missed...especially in Philadelphia.

I also got the chance to meet the members of my husband's family that I did not know.
