My grandpa Lashlee passed away early this morning (Sunday, November 4, 2012) and my heart is breaking just a little tonight. He was 88 years old. I wrote about him once before (which can be read here) when I was rambling about death. I don’t really have much to say right now. I didn’t post “My Week in Pins” on Saturday and I will not be posting my “Dress Form Outfit” for this week either, or any other post for that matter. Both my grandfathers have now passed away, coincidentally at the age of 88. So if you have any […]

Who says dogs and cats can’t get along! My dad has four […]

At her side is her adult daughter, Caroline. Daisy asks Caroline to read to her […]
My Week in Pins
Ahhh…. Love is in the air! Today, 9/22/2012, is my parent’s 45th anniversary. Last week my friend, Tricia, and her husband, Bryan, celebrated 20 years together. My cousin Nathan and his wife, Laurie, celebrated 15 years together this month as well. So in honor of them and in honor of love in general, I thought I’d give this week in pins a romantical theme. The secret for a good marriage… Here’s a text message that every girl would be thrilled to get… Who knew that the left ring finger was the only finger that has a vein that connects to […]
