It's almost spring. So is it almost spring cleaning time?

Well the countdown has begun.  Spring is just around the corner.  If you are like me spring always means it's time to clean.  Blame that on my mother.  She would open the doors and windows.  The house would need a "good airing".   We would then start in the attic and clean from the top down.  Under beds, behind dressers, far corners of the closets and every nook and cranny she could find.  A pile would begin for the annual garage sale.  Windows and walls would then be washed.  New paint would go up on the walls.  Rose bushes, irises, and spearment would be planted.  Then the garden would go in next.    Winter clothes packed away and summer clothes brought out of storage.  Laundry would be hung out on the clothesline.

Now summer could offically start!

So now my spring cleaning has begun.  YUCK!!  Did I say that loud enough.
Over the next few days I will bore you with my spring cleaning.  Maybe if I promise to post it here I will actually get it done. 

First spot for cleaning will be front porch and entry.  It's the first place visitors will see.  How does your porch/entry look?

Worrying

Matthew 6:27
27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life

Luke 12:25
25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life

I hate it when I worry.  It does nothing but add to my stress level and who needs that.  What is really crazy is when I worry over things that I can not change or really need no worrying at all.

Heart Attack Grill. You've got to be kidding!!

http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/the-heart-attack-grill-24471051


I think I'm having salad for dinner tonight.

Here's where it all began.

This is my wonderful hubby and myself in the beginning of our marriage. 

We were young and in love.  Notice the trim bodies and all that hair.  Boy if we only knew then what we know now.....  Ok!  Ok! we wouldn't have changed a thing.  It's been a wonderful roller coaster ride with no end in sight.

Break out the Kleenex

I love stories like this.

It has begun.

This old gal can learn new tricks.  I'm a member of the blogging community now. 

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Denise.  I'm a daughter, sister, wife and mother.  I'm married to the love of my life, Thomas.  Together we have six chidren.  There names all start with T.  They range in ages from 25 down to 9.  They are the reason I get up in the morning.  They are also the reason why I have all this grey hair.  Can't see it?  That's because I keep it hidden.  LOL!!

My interest run the from homesteading to homeschooling to full time RVing and everything in between.  I love my hubby, my children, my family, my dogs, my state and my America.

I hope with this blog I can share a little of myself, my loves and my world with you.
