Have you ever watched a movie and seen your family in the characters? Well, back before I was married and until this day my ultimate favorite show has always been Gilmore Girls. When I was a single mom, my one desire was to have the relationship with my daughter Faith, be like Lorelai and Rory. I had my first daughter at a young age, and my parents were not wealthy, but were very conservative and lived in a different state. I did what I had to, to provide and care for my little girl.  Fast forward to years later, and now we watch the seasons on dvd as a family.  My oldest daughter is now 21. and like Rory, she has a talent to write, loves books, and is totally Rory in just about everything.... although she doesn't have a best friend that is Korean, but she loves K pop and everything about Korea. My husband is totally Luke Danes.... though he doesn't own a diner, doesn't wear his cap backwards, and doesn't drive an old chevy truck.... He hates going inside a hospital. H...

Today has been hard for me.... there were alot of tears.  I don't like getting old, and I don't like that people I care about are dying... our friend and neighbor passed away this week.  Brooklyn_speaks  went home to be with Jesus today....  another friend of ours is losing his battle with ALS and got his feeding tube put in this month... I feel overwhelmed that for me, I know my place in that line will come sooner than later.  My death sentence makes me angry... I have kids that need me. I want to travel and see the world. I want to watch my kids grow up... to see my grandkids and great-grandkids. I want to enjoy retirement with my hubby. I want to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary together. I want to do something good with my life. I get tired of fighting with doctors, getting pricked with needles and the ever changing doses of medication. I'm tired of being exhausted every single day. I feel guilty for just about everything I do, and everything I don't d...

  Christmas looks different for our family this year.... it's our first Christmas without Stephen's Grandpa Chuck and my Dad. No more playing games and talking/laughing with siblings and in-laws. No more taffy pulls, Christmas caroling or cookie making....   My hubby, kids, and I are gonna make new memories and have a wonderful joy filled Christmas! We will start new traditions, and enjoy Christmas with people who love and care for us! Is it sad? Yes. Do I wish it could be different? Yes.   Sometimes the truth hurts, but it's still the truth. So yes, Christmas will definitely be different now that Dad is gone. He  wasn't very big on Christmas, or gifts anyway.... it just wasn't his thing.. . but I'll still miss it. Most of all, I'll miss him. And it makes me wonder.... 🎵 -  https://youtu.be/cBtZY633AjI  - 🎵  … Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold Are the mansions all covered in white Are you singing with angels silent night I w...

I drive for Ford, as a dealership driver. I do dealer trades (my favorite), dealer buys, lease returns, pick up auction cars, and deliver cars to their new owners..... sometimes we even go straight to the Ford plant and pick them up as they come off the assembly line. We drive all over.... mainly in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Michigan. But sometimes as far as Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Missouri, Iowa, and Florida... Sometimes I drive one way with another driver.  (My favorite driving partner is Joe. We have gotten to be best friends over the years, and have a great time together.) Sometimes, its just me by myself for the whole trip. I absolutely love driving! Driving is exciting. I love the adventure of where the road might take me. Of not knowing how my day will go. I love seeing the beautiful landscape and the sunsets. I love the quiet solitude of being in the car alone with my thoughts. I love driving on wide open interstates, in congested traffic lanes, and on na...

  Reflecting on my dads death. And the thought acured to me that when Dad died, there were angels in the room. Thats such an inspiring thought to know that angels were present. Thank you Jesus! Angels in the room, he's run his final race. They come to carry him to heaven, there to see his Savior's face. Angels in the room, to take him to his great reward. No need for sadness or gloom, there are Angels in the room. No need for sadness or gloom, they'll be Angels in the room. No need for sadness or gloom, there are Angels in the room.

  I decided it was about time to show you all some more of my cakes.... I have a love- hate relationship with making/decorating cakes. I think its fun and absolutely love trying to make exactly what the kids or I want to make.... only problem is they never turn out nearly as good as the image in my head and I hate that.... I know some would turn out better if I'd use fondant or gum paste instead of butter cream, but I don't like using fondant (I've tried a couple times), I don't like the taste of it, so I use butter cream for all my cakes... it makes them taste better... especially since I use my a perfect secret frosting recipe! My dad passed away 3 weeks before Wyatt's birthday and left his little Kubota B6000 tractor in his will to Wyatt. You can read more about it here... This cake had a camouflaged interior... Barbie cake for an 7 yr. old - every layer of cake was a different color - purple, pink, blue and green inside. My daughter's graduation cake  - simp...
