Withdrawals from a withdraw!

Say what? Does this even make sense? Sure it does.

Withdrawal is a reaction to the lost of something that is addictive.

Withdraw is to retreat or retire from a postition.

So see a person can have withdrawals from a withdraw. And this woman is!

Wondering what my addiction is. Wonder what type of reactions I'm having.

Have you ever been part of something that you looked forwarded to? Or maybe something that you marked on your calendar, counted down the days until it arrived. Looked forward to with great anticipation?

Well... I know I have...you see tonight there's a group of women in Iowa that's gonna have the times of their lives...laughing, giggling, drinking, eatin' some good yummy food, telling silly jokes, and tossing lil' black dotted white cubes...called dice!

Yes, my girlfriends in Iowa

are meeting for their

monthly night of

BUNCO and I'm missing it!

See I had to withdraw from my 16 month position in this wild wonderful group to move to Wisconsin. I was an active, fun, vivacious member who enjoyed herself immensely. It was something I looked forward to each and every month and DANG IT! I'm gonna miss it terribly to the point of having negative reactions like an addict .... withdrawals!

Here I am huddled up in a corner like a badly beaten animal...scrambling around for her dice, her drink, her food, and most importantly her friends. Yes, Babes you must feel sorry from me and rescue me from my doom! ha ha

Just kiddin'!

Know that I'm thinking of ya'll ...wishing I was there having the time of my life laughing, and giggling with ya! Good Luck to the Babe with them Most Bunco's, the one with the Most Wins, the one with the best Roll Off, the one with last Lady Bug Bunco, and last but never least the biggest loser...cause even she is a winner...at least she was there!

Is the Grass Greener?

We'll as most of us know the old saying... "the grass isn't always greener on the other side." But, I can honestly say we have some mighty green grass here in Wisconsin. Contrast that with the blue sky, it really does stand out.

Speaking of Green...we have a big project ahead of us...Painting those ugly green garage doors! If you were to see our house from a far...all you would see is Garage Doors...there's 3 of them and they stand out like a sore thumb. White is the color of choice for me...a color that will deflect, not make them more noticible..can't wait to eliminate this problem.

Now on to the most special part of this photo... it's not in the house but in the yard... do you see it? It's on the left side...Lil' Lily playing! Can you see her? She's just a speck in the scheme of things. She loves being outside! And her most favorite place is in the back yard...on the

GOLF COURSE!

Yes, we live on Hiawatha's #3 putting Green and Lily loves running pass our yard line onto the green. As you can see from the photo here there are Golfer's riding around in their carts...but they don't seem to mind...they just keep on playing. And don't worry she's safe, big sis' Tess is there to protect.

The scenery is really pretty here. So you see the "grass REALLY is greener on the other side"... when you live on a Golf Course!

Much greener then the grass in my yard! ha ha

Welcome to my Blog!

Well it's been months since I've been active in an online community... I miss it. Since the closing of the Scrapbook Jungle and a 6 month wait to move to Wisconsin with no hubby around, I didn't have much time for anything else. UGH! I could barely keeping my head above water and can honestly say that I swallowed alot of unwanted water along the way. At times I thought I was drowning. Thank goodness being a "single parent" time is over!

I look forward to getting back to my online communities, finding out what's been happening in the lives of my friends and family, plus finding time to scrap and share my pages again.

Here' a photo of our new home! This photo was taken in March when we closed on the house. You should see the yard now...it's beautiful and loaded with all kinds of trees and flowers. Gotta get busy updating my photos!
