Hello!! Here is to a new beginning!

I had a blog a couple of years ago, it was about gardening, glass, crafts, and my family!  I tried to get back into it so I could fire it up and had to start from Scratch!  So here is the new blog, some things have changed and some have remained the same.

I won't be talking about glass, oh maybe the selling of all my supplies.  I won't be talking about gardening, unless it is to transplant goodies at my kids houses.  I will of course be talking about my family from time to time, they are the MOST IMPORTANT thing in my life!

If you followed DillysDays then I left off a year ago.  Our son, Todd, was just being deployed to Afghanistan.  Some of my last photos were of Xavier, my grandson, and I tying a yellow ribbon around the tree out front in my yard.  Well the ribbon is still there, but our son, the Marine just got back 4 days ago and I am waiting for him to come home next month to help me take the ribbon down!!!  Knowing he is home is just spectacular.  He lives in NC with his Wife Erin and their dog Nika!

Another thing that has changed, is our Grandson Brock.  He is now a year old, walking around like a champ and babbling continuously.  I can't wait until words are formed, he has been saying a lot of stuff for 6 months and must really have a lot on his mind.  Shannon and Shawn want to so much move out of their house to something larger.  I will keep my fingers crossed. Unfortunately in the last year we lost their Lovely Daisy, our first Grandpuppy.  We still have Dylan the Great Pyr, Kolbe the cat and a recent addition Brewster the orange Himilayan to spoil! 

One of the big changes in the last year is our daughter Heather, hubby Kirk and oldest Grandson, Xavier have moved farther away.  It was nice and convenient with them half a mile away.  But they really hated their neighborhood and wanted something nicer.  The are now about 8 miles away in Marshall, MI.  They have a lovely home, in a great neighborhood and they are enjoying everything about it!  Buttons their little Affenpincher/poodle is right at home with the floor to ceiling windows, it's like he is outside all the time with all the comfy of being inside!

Wowzers I guess there have been a few changes!!

Hubby and I are starting to take baby steps to make big changes in our life.  We are burnt out, bummed out and tired of all the daily crap.  We have been giving it a lot of thought and we are ready for the next step.  The new blog will be about us, sorting through crap, getting rid of stuff (almost everything), selling the house and starting a new life.  You can laugh and gasp as we make changes or rethink changes as the next couple of years come and go. 

Our plans right now are to sell everything in the next 2 years. I can see another auction in our future! LOL  Set ourselves up here in Michigan with a seasonal site with a large trailer, and eventually have something in a warmer climate for the off season (winter).  There are a lot of things that determine the whats and wheres.  For one thing, where will Todd and Erin be in two years?  We want to be involved in their life and since we are not sure what they have up their sleeve, that decision is out there!  I know we don't want to pay lot rent for the entire year in a warmer climate, so that is another decision. 

So come along for the ride, see the decisions along the way!  Some will make you laugh, others could be dang stupid, or scary!

As we plunk along for the next two years, I will be sharing the daily stuff as it comes and goes!  If your reading this have a wonderful day!
