Well look at THIS!!!

My Two spoiled rotten Cats actually EATING out of the same plate, less than a foot away from each other. Oh my gosh. In our house this is earth shattering news. These two NEVER act like this. Must have been the hamburger meat cause this would NEVER happen otherwise.

These two have already lived with each other for years now, but insist on hating each other. I think it is because McCook wants to play and Button just wants to sleep. At any rate, here they are!

Today's Adventure

was one that I truly enjoyed. Myself, my brother Larry and my niece Jessica headed out for a day of Antiquing and shopping fun and fun we had!

OMG we found the BEST place ever to eat in Grand Island. Coney Island. The French Fries were homemade. The Hamburgers brought back memories of Double K in Norfolk, Nebraska and the Buck Burger. I felt like a little girl again. If I just would have ordered chocolate milk. My brother Lar said the same thing. We told my niece Jessica about the good ole DoubleK Days and ordering over the telephone at our booth. Such great memories...reminded me of Dad which is good. Here is Jessica and Larry enjoying their Soda's in a bottle. Lar said that as soon as he saw Orange pop in the bottle he knew he had to have it.



I love spending time with my brother and with Jessica, we just don't get to do it very often so today was very special to me.

I found lots of things I loved..but mostly......this

our $17.00 dollar shelf that is a perfect addition to our cabin! I just shoved some stuff on it but man do I like this shelf!!

Another find, this beautiful vintage tablecloth...which matches the "new" colors of my cabin kitchen....OH I was so happy to find this. A great $12.00 find in my humble opinion. LOVE IT>



Last but not least....this adorable hand painted bunny that I found at none other than the the Party supply place. Isn't he cute! I wanted and Easter Decoration for the cabin and here he is.

Rakow Auction

I am soooooo tired. I swear I haven't been this tired in forever. I woke up at 4 this morning with one crying cat!!! I thought "Well I may as well get up" So I did....it was the first time in my life that I vacuumed at 4:15 in the morning and was done with all my laundry by 6:15........

So off I went at 6;45 to pick the girls up at the office and head to Neligh for the Auction. I must say it was a nice, pleasant day. Everything seemed to work and the weather was gorgeous. SO no complaints.

Because it was sooooo nice out....I decided to treat myself and go to the Cabin. Upon arriving I finally found time to work on redoing some stuff on the walls, cleaning my closet and taking out garbage. I was sooooo excited to get some of those things done.

My main project for the evening was hanging Ron's Wonder Hangers. OK at first I was pretty confused as to why Ronnie wanted to order those things but I must confess my darling husband was Right...and I LOVE IT!!!!!



Wonder Hangers are a small closet owners dream. I Ordered more....but shhhhhh don't tell Ron Stock.

Another project was to take down the Evergreen wreath and redo the floral arrangement on the wall above our "open area". So I added my fish from the bathroom...I LOVE how this looks...I really like those fish :)



I added my floral arrangement that I have had forever above this photo Ron gave me for our Anniversary the year before last.

I have had the floral arrangement forever and I just can't part with it!

Another one of my "projects". This one involved replacing the fish that I used on the above project. These outhouse prints are hilarious. I used them in "our" bathroom and they crack me up.


And finally my favorite...these beautiful prints that say Relax and Dream with these peaceful shells.........I must say it look pretty cute in here.


After this LONG LONG day has finally ended. I need to go to sleep for my busy day of shopping and antiquing and shopping with my Brother Larry and my niece Jessica. I am really looking forward to it!

Rembering.....

for some reason I am rembering our 2007 Trip to Cancun. That was so much fun and so relaxing. I used most of my Cancun photos to decorate our cabin. The water colors totaly inspired me. So in that.....

Good to be Home....

I swear I was gone overnight but it felt like twelve days and fourty nights :) LONG NIGHTS.

Kristin has returned to the land of the Beavers (gosh that does NOT sound good).

Very very nice to be home. Hanging out with my cats and one very full dog. He seems to be getting ALOT of scraps......

Off to bedtime.....

Monday Blues.....

I have a serious case of the Monday blues. My biggest problem for today is I want to stay at the Lake but can't. My second problem is I don't feel like sleeping in a hotel tonight, but I have to. My Third problem.....I thought it was suppose to be warmer today.

Apparently, it is up to ROn and I to get the big yellow truck to Cambridge. That is all well and good but that makes me nervous :) Nothing more scary than Ron driving a big rig with his knee......oh well I suppose I will get there safe and sound one way or another...

So I am OUT of here time tomorrow night.......ADIOS!

I promise....

to be a better blogger this month. I am not sure what happened in February, but maybe between all the stuff going on and being sick most of the month, probably had ALOT to do with it.

March 1st.....WOW hard to believe. I decided to give up a couple of my Creative Teams this month. I am very active at one site and have found that suddenly scrapbooking was more work than it was fun for me. I was spending all my time creating layouts that were completed just to get my monthly requirements done. I have decided to set aside one day a week for scrapping if I can. So that is something to look forward to for me. Speaking of scrapbooking...I did this layout using one of my Blog Posts here:




Last month, I did really good on the no chocolate challenge. I do however miss:



It was rough but I managed to live through it......I think :) Now I have to get use to Friday being Fishy at my house. I kind of forget about Lent not being Catholic and all, but good thing Ron loves fish. Me...not so much. I like my good ole red meat :)

This upcoming week is full, but that is ok with me. Tommorrow we leave for Cambridge for an auction, then I am planning on attending a Land Auction we have with Ron on Wednesday. I sure hope someone comes to bring me home because we have an auction on Thursday and if it is really suppose to be 70 degrees I certainly don't want to miss that! It can't be worse than LAST Thursday's.......MAN that was COLD!

Well that is my update for the first of March. Looking forward to seeing the Lake ice melt, letting my cats outside to play and opening windows!!!

I am going to go finish laundry and settle in for some NASCAR later today....GO CLINT BOWYER!!!!
