That's right!!!

We all need some Rays of Sunshine to brighten our day!!!

The way things have been going lately I really cherish those little rays!!!

Those rays come in all different shapes and sizes, some fall in your lap and some you have to look for.

So today I'm going to show you some little Rays of Sunshine that I've been blessed with.

That's Life Continues!!!

Good afternoon everyone!!!

I hope all you Mothers out there had a joyous Mother's Day with family and friends.

I enjoyed spending my day with my children and grandchildren.

My husband and son did all the grilling ~ they grilled chicken and a turkey breast ~ Yum!!!

Then we watched Grandpa play kick ball with the grand kids and played some cards.

The sun was shining ~ it was a beautiful day!!!

Since my last post on That's Life I wanted to Thank everyone for their prayers for my friends parents.  Sadly Sarah's Dad lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday.  He is in a much better place and doesn't have to suffer anymore.  I pray that Sarah can heal from her sorrows and that she cherishes the time she has spent with her Dad and embraces the memories.

Wed ~ I stopped to visit with Kim's Mom and she looked really great and was in good spirits.  It really lifted up my spirits to let her know I was thinking about her.  I really enjoyed my visit.  Please continue to say a little prayer for her to give her the strength to carry on.   Her one wish is for it to be warm enough outside so she can sit outside and enjoy her flower gardens.

That's the way life goes!

Wed. night  I ended up in the emergency room for being stupid.

I was cutting a watermelon and the butcher knife slipped and I sliced into my finger.

Not for the faint of heart!

Found out I had sliced my tendon vertically.

Thursday I had to have surgery ~ OUCH!!!

Today I had therapy and they gave me a smaller splint and said it was healing nicely.

Hopefully now I'll be able to sew ~ now I'm really far behind.

That's Life!!!

Carry On!!!

(but it really is hard to type without your index finger!)

Carry On I did!

Sat. I went barn pick'in ~ I look forward to this and wouldn't miss it for the world!!!

This is the Life!!!

Some of the wonderful treasures I found!

This is my Life!!!

Well not much else going on ~ need to get ready to go to work ~ yep I'm grill cooking again!!!!

Hopefully after work I can catch-up with the rest of you!

Until Next Time

Yesterday is history

Tomorrow is a mystery

Today is a gift

That's why it's called the present!

Happy Mothers Day!

What is a Mother? - Katherine Nelson Davis.

A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,
To love us, whatever we do,
With a warm understanding and infinite patience,
And wonderful gentleness, too.

How often a mother means swift reassurance
In soothing our small, childish fears,
How tenderly mothers watch over their children
And treasure them all through the years!

The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness
For any mistake, big or small,
And generous always in helping her family
Whose needs she has placed above all.

A mother can utter a word of compassion
And make all our cares fall away,
She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter
And make life delightful and gay.

A mother possesses incredible wisdom
And wonderful insight and skill -
In each human heart is that one special corner
Which only a mother can fill!

Happy Mother's Day

To All The Beautiful Mothers Out There!!!

Hope Your Day Is Filled With Love and Sunshine!!!

Until Next Time

Prim Blessings

THAT'S LIFE

Where have you been??? 

What have you been up to???

I know I haven't posted in a while ~ so sorry.

Life just seems to get away from me sometimes ~ even spinning out of control.

A couple of times I sat to write a post only to end it for another day ~ because something came up and I wouldn't be able to finish it.

So lets catch up!  

CAUTION  ~ THIS POST IS A LONG ONE!!!

Recently my husband and I had celebrated our 21 yr. anniversary.  My where have the years gone?

I can't say they have all been joyous ~ but they have been good!

That's Life

My Son ~ Michael and DL ~ Anita gave us a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  Thank-You!

The baby Robin's have hatched!

How can something so ugly turn into something so Beautiful???

That's Life

Went antiquing with a friend in Waupaca ~ found some treasures!

Some of the reasons I haven't been around much

(I have popped in now and then and read some of your blogs ~ have commented when I can)

I found another place to sell my creations!  Yippee!!!

(I should say she found me)

So I've been creating away (as much as I can)

I'll post more of my creations in another post!

I'll be selling some of my wares at

Back Again Furniture & Oddities

Medina, WI

This is great for me ~ it's only a mile down the road!!!

This is my Life

The other reason I haven't been around is because my very best friend Kim

(the one who manages a restaurant ~ where I help out)

Her mother is dying of cancer and they don't give her much time to live.

When Kim calls and needs help ~ I'm there for her.

(example: her grilled cook called in yesterday and Kim needed to be with her Mom)

Remember I don't cook ~ but I'll do my best ~ I'm there for you!

I must say I didn't do to bad!

As I'm writing this post the phone rings ~ it's Kim

The bartender that is suppose to work tonight can't work

(her father has cancer and they don't expect him to make it through the day)

I'll be there!

That's Life

Prayers would be greatly appreciated.

On a happier note

Granddaughter ~ Keyarra

Going to the Fairy Princess Ball

That's my Life!

Thanks so much Everyone for being there!

Welcome to my newest followers ~ it tickles my heart that you find my life interesting!

Until Next Time

Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst, and take what comes with a grin.
