Still Picking up the Pennies

Hello Everyone, We are here on the Eve of Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for the few of my readers that keep coming back to see our new adventures. Life and love keep us busy, I have so much to share but I am not finding the time to do it. I am trying to set things right in a few areas in my life, and my blogging life is one of those areas.  I have always been a writer, I love to pour my heart out on to a clean sheet of paper. In jr high school my friends and I would see each other daily but write notes to each other every day. I moved around a lot as a teenager, so my deep bonds with people did not happen. I was forced to be where I did not want to be for months and months on end. But what are you going to do when your family moves, you start to bottle up all of your emotions until you are about to explode. I was giving a journal for a secret Santa gift exchange in 9th grade. This was unchartered territory for me.........I loved to write but never was given the freedom to expr...

I am so thankful for the gift the Lord has given me in my partner in life with. He is not perfect, but he is perfect for me. I know the Lord had us planned for each other. I separated from the U.S. Air Force on August 22, 1995. I expected to go home to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to get an education and meet people. I lived with my Grandmother for the first 6 months, it was wonderful to get to spend so much time with aunts, uncles, and all of my cousins. My brother Randy also lived in the same town, he introduced me to a few of his friends. I love spending this time with my family, but my heart started giving clues about being ready to settle down. My brother introduced me to this friend of his that he had known for twenty plus years. I was sitting on the love seat in my Grandmother's living room in sweatpants and not washed hair just chilling. All of a sudden my bother came in the door with a friend, he introduced me to Dave. He took my breath away. A few days later I moved ...

Hi folks, It has been a while. Loads of things going on some good and some testing our faith. We believe and have faith that the Lord will see us through the trials of life. I am going to start a series that states my Thankful November. Every day during the month of November I will be doing a post sharing what I am thankful for. Disclaimer: I am busy as a bug so I may have to combine my posts for many days at a time. I will, however, keep track of my thankfulness to share with you all. Thankful Day #1 I am most thankful for the love and grace the Lord, almighty blesses me with every single day. I am a sinner but he sacrificed his only begotten Son to die for me. Thankful Day #2 I am most thankful for the health of my wonderful family. I will list each one of them individually later, I am sure. But as a whole, I am so blessed by them. I am so thankful they are all happy and healthy. The weather is changing here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but I am thankful, not ...

All throughout November you can earn large bonuses when sign up as my referral on Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a rewards site where you earn points (called SB) for things you're probably doing online already, like searching the web, watching videos, shopping, discovering deals, and taking surveys. Then you take those points and exchange them for gift cards to places like Amazon, Target, or PayPal cash.  When you sign up through me this month, you can earn a 300 SB bonus! Here's how:  1 .  Sign up using this link   2. Earn 300 SB total before December 1st, 2018. You'll get a 300 SB bonus for it!  3. That's it. It's super easy, and Swagbucks is for real. I use it myself, and I've earned enough in the month of October to bring my Hubby out for Lunch for this birthday. His favorite restaurant is a bit pricey but with SB gift cards we can enjoy it. It is going to be Red Lobster for us.
