Heart Smiles

So I have been cleaning out my emails, specifically my email folders, yes I am an Email Hoarder. Yahoo is going to love me after I get done!!

Anywho, I was going through some emails from an ex, (why i kept them I don't know!) and I found this email that my Grandma had written to him. Long story. I had made him forward it to me so I could see what she said.. And well.. read it yourself. It brings a little tear to my eye. I love my family..

"Charity is a very bright, beautiful, talented and tender hearted young lady. I once got a five year old cocker spaniel who was meaner than a pit viper because the people had abused him and I was going to take him to the dog pound and she (who doesn't care much for animals) begged me to keep him for a week and see if he'd change. I did and Oscar the Grouch died of old age here, much loved and not mean at all. I now have a funny black dog (part cocker) that she rescued and insisted that Gpa would like to have him to take the place of Oscar. Midnight Beast is still with us.
She also is like all of the talented people I know, somewhat different. (I'm not talented) She is very intense about what ever is going on at the moment but laid back about a lot of things. Her feelings are easily hurt but she just laughs and no one knows she's hurt. She ALSO tells everything she knows. :-) She doesn't lie except at Christmas and Birthdays and even then it's hard for her. That's a brief synopsis on Charity.
Now---she started the Milroy Mafia and I quickly stepped in to head it up, realizing it needed a mature person in charge. :-)My four grandchildren are my assistants. Whoever, at the moment, needs the Head of the Mafia to call on them also has the other 3 to deal with. It's really just a keep in line type thing. But I noticed her Dad (my favorite and only son-in-law) wearing a Milroy Mafia T-shirt so I may have some insurgents (?) in our midst.
BTW---Her brother and I love to tease her ESPECIALLY now that there is a guy friend involved. She takes everything so seriously that it makes us worse :-)"

I just thought this was the sweetest little email. Sometimes its nice to realize how much you are loved. Its been a rough week. So I thought I would post this here so next time (tomorrow!HA!) that i'm having a bad day I would read this and smile. And its kind of hilarious HOW WELL my family knows me :)

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
