Sweet Hazel

Savannah and I stopped by to see Hazel

Our next door neighbor from years ago

Savannah was 5 when we moved

She is now almost 16

Hazel is now almost 97.

She is a wonderful woman

She still drives herself to Church every Sunday

She lives alone and takes very good care of herself

She is an angel here on earth

and I'm grateful for the wonderful visit we had with her.

Is she adorable or what?

They will still bear fruit in old age,
   they will stay fresh and green.

Psalm 92:14

My January

This is a little glimpse of what January looked

like for me

 A Sunday afternoon snack that my husband described as "snappy".

 Strawberries from Plant City - The strawberry capital of the world. YUM

 Cupcakes for Savannah's cheer team. Go Big Green!

(cheated with icing from the Publix bakery) 

 Cheese Quesadilla 

 Buffalo Chicken Potato Bake 

 Homemade Veggie Pizza 

 This was awesome. Weight Watchers Snicker Pie. 

 Started decorating for Valentine Day

 Mugs - found the idea on Pinterest  - where else ? 

 Awesome little light I hung MYSELF - in Savannah's room - love a

sale from Urban Outfitters 

 My girls - girls night at Cork and Olive 

Cute little plates at Cork and Olive - I wanted them.

Looking forward to the month of Love.

Old Fashion Snail Mail

Why are we so busy that we don't send cards/letters anymore?

The internet has totally changed our lives.

While Facebook, Twitter, and blogs are fun and

an awesome way to meet and communicate with people online....

I miss getting letters and cards in the mail

I miss sending them too

I use to be the best at sending cards,

letters, articles, etc

now it seems I'm doing good to

send a birthday card

The only real cards I mail are

Christmas cards

Even the amount of Christmas cards we received this

year was substantially less

The last party invite we received was online too

I like handwriting too

Fancy and Neat handwriting

You can't see a person's handwriting online

I also have a "pen" weakness

I can't ever pass up a cute pen

Now it's time to put my cute pens to work

On my "list" for 2012 is to send more "snail mail"

I started yesterday with a trip to LifeWay and

purchased some awesome little cards.

Next stop was the post office

Stamps and more Stamps

Now to personalize these cute little cards

and get them in the mail

I'm getting personal in 2012 - how about you?
