Man Of Many Talents


Can I tell you a little bit about my hubby ... 
He's gonna gonna be sooo embarrassed when he sees this!




You may remember him ... he's the guy that had a great fire going for me last Friday when I got home from work? 
Yes ...  THAT hubby!


Did I ever tell you that back in high school, he was first chair in the state of Illinois for his cello playing?

You also may remember that he played in several local rock groups throughout his teens and twenties, basically playing guitar, but sometimes filling in for keyboard and drums and percussion.  
He could play a mean cowbell back in the day!!

The last rock band he was in routinely toured Illinois, Missouri and Indiana. 

He also was ... and still is ... known for his tight vocal harmonies.  
He's so much fun to sing with in the car!

In addition to all that, the guy is a real handy man, most recently renovating the cottage all on his own. 
With some help from his sidekick ... me!


... But did you know that the man can also draw?
Not the stick figures I come up with ... but real honest to goodness art!



I kind of think that that hubby of mine is a pretty nifty kind of guy.  

Maybe I'll keep him around for a little bit longer!






Thank You, Jingle!

Many thanks to Jingle for this award of Sunshine,
I never ever thought that it would really be mine!
Jingle likes the jingles  ... and that is really fine,
For Jingle, it's the poetry that's better than wine!



I'm suppose to pass the award on to 12 people, but I can not choose.  So I'm awarding it to everyone who comes to visit, because whether you comment or not, you all bring a bit of sunshine!
Hugs to everyone!!
Stay warm and dry!

Snowy Friday Night Welcome Home


Last night while the snow was falling, I came home from work to this ...



A nice fire, a cozy throw, a cup of tea, my laptop ...





And this ...
That's Pioneer Woman's Maple Pecan Scone I had made last week and froze for just an occasion!

Thanks to my honey ...

TGF!
