What You Got On? Your Mind?
That’s a funny title to me, “What You Got On? Your Mind?” I knew someone years ago that always said that and I never understood it. I think I get it now. I just wanted to share a few things that are on my mind today. I’m a list maker. My mind will play over and over and over something that I need to do or something I’m thinking about or even an article that I want to write. Once I get it all on paper, my mind is suddenly clear. So, first thing in the morning I make…
My Self-Improvement Class with Miss Texas!
A few years ago, okay, maybe many years ago, I was happily going along in my first year of marriage trying to figure out how to be the perfect wife. I saw an ad for a class being offered in the home of a previous Miss Texas. She was teaching on self-improvement. She would cover things like, make-up application, hair care, confidence, etc. This was right up my ally as I loved things like this. I never thought of myself as pretty and I was always looking for ways to learn new things to present myself better. I called my…
Why Decorate and Clean Your Bedroom?
As I was cleaning today, I thought I would write a quick post about one of my favorite things to do….cleaning! I will do a post on each room as I get time. I don’t have a housekeeper.

I have a feeling of great accomplishment when I have cleaned and everything is in order. Not to mention the money I save by cleaning my own house. Don’t get me wrong….there may be a time…
My Family Tree-It Starts With Me!
My last post was on my latest adventure of researching my family tree. If you missed it, you can click here to read that particular post. I’m beginning with my father’s side of the family first because it intrigues me the most right now. In my last post I said that I would begin with information that I have on my dad. After thinking about it, I figured I should start with myself. My brain thinks in an organized way, so I felt like if I’m working backwards, that I should begin with Moi. (that’s french for me….I think) If…
Who Was Before Me?
For the past several years, I have been very interested in genealogy. I know that there are many people that aren’t as interested in finding out about family members from times past. My husband is one of those. He just smiles that little smile when I start telling him my latest finds from ancestors that I never met. Thankfully, he is patient with me and endures my stories and even goes with me on hunts to far away places to track down the mystery of my interesting family. I came to this conclusion in our differences in delving into the…
