Summer Porch 2015

Hello! It is good to be posting today.

I have accomplished a few things around the house.

In between working on my family reunion,

I managed to get my porch ready for 

Summer!

Of course I will add more things as it get closer to July 4th.

But, Today is Flag Day.

I haven't yet drilled the holes for the flag brackets.

My jar full of flags will have to do.

I like decorating my front porch.

I didn't realize how much people noticed until

several people have said how much they enjoyed 

seeing what I decorate with on the porch.

Compliments are always a good incentive to keep

doing it.  Besides it gives me happy feelings

when I have an inviting and colorful porch.

My porch is tiny.  I wish I had the big porches

I have had in 3 previous homes.

Actually, there are a lot of things I miss from my

previous homes.  I like my condo,

and I have it decorated the way I like,

but for some reason, I am feeling "lost".

I will be ok, I hope the homesick, lost feeling soon 

leaves me. . I know. . .it is hard to understand.

But when you have had so many changes in your life

like I have, there is good reason to feel lost and alone.

Sorry, I think I am feeling sorry for myself.

Here is something that has helped cheer me

I am working on my Family Reunion.

I made this invitation with the help of Pic Monkey.

I am rather happy with it.

I just love the programs out there in internet-land.

They make me look like I am talented. . .

I just can't believe the response I have had for this reunion.

So many want to know where they came from.

Who their ancestors are.

And they want pictures and stories.

I hope it goes as well, as I hope.

I hope you are enjoying your summer thus far.

Please do come back again.

I completed a couple of counted cross stitch projects.

I will be showing them.

Remember: 

The little things are infinitely 

the most important.
