Note to Self..."When Going on Canoe Trip, Bring Sunscreen!"






Good Thursday Morning! How do you like the pic for the post this morning? My brother shared it with me yesterday and I knew I just had to use it..lol

I have been sick the past few days, which sucks! I hate being sick. I think all the heat and sun I endured during our trip floating the Buffalo the other day had caught up to me. It was a fun experience, but note to self....bring sunscreen! I got so sunburned! We also flipped the canoe a few times, as well as getting caught in the rapids and hitting a few trees...I said when we finished our 10 mile that I would never do it again, but deep down, I know I will probably do it again. I had a lot of fun with family and friends and made quite a few memories! Also, there is a lot of beautiful scenery along the river. I seen turtles, caves, rock formations and much more.

Well, tomorrow is the start of the weekend! I really hope I am back to 100% by the weekend, I would love to get out of the house and do something. (No canoeing!) If I am going to do anything that has to do with water, it will be swimming...and I will bring sunscreen!

Hope everyone has an amazing day. I'm going to hang out here at home and continue to rest so I can get this sickness over with!

Until next time.... ♥♥

Memorial Day...Remember Our Military and All the Sacrifices they Have Made!






Good Morning Everyone! I know it has been a while since you have seen a post from me, and I truly apologize! I appreciate everyone who reads my post and it wasn't my intention to let anyone down. So again, my sincere apologies. 

How was everyone's Memorial Day Weekend? As you celebrated, I hope you remembered what this holiday was truly about, the wonderful men and women who have given their lives to protect this country, as well as those who are currently serving! 

I know the weekend was filled with family get-together's and cookouts, as well as swimming, camping and other outdoor activities and I hope everyone had an amazing time! I attended a fish fry at my son's house, which btw...had some amazing food! Other than that I stayed home, but had a great visit from family and spent some time reconnecting, I sincerely hope it continues!

The next major holiday coming up is 4th of July! I love that holiday, because it's another day we can celebrate our country and wonderful military members! Not to mention I love to go to the lake and swim til dark, then watch the fireworks!!

Well, I hope everyone has a great Tuesday! Get out and enjoy this summer weather!

Until Next Time... ♥

It's a PJ's Kind of Day....






Good Saturday Morning Everyone! I woke up to a rainy day here in West Tennessee :(  I have been enjoying this great weather these last few days, and to wake up to rain on a Saturday morning is kind of a bummer. Oh well, I'm still going along with my morning routine...I am sitting here with a fresh cup of coffee starting this post. 

What are ya'll up too this weekend? Do you have plans or are you taking these few days to relax in your PJ's in front of a movie? I know there are times I love to stay in my PJ's all day long and just chill. There's a comfort in knowing I can just get out of bed and lounge in my PJ's for an entire day and take it easy!

Rainy days tend to make me lazy. I just want to curl up in bed and sleep, listening to the sound of the rain outside of my window.  Who else enjoys just curling up and listening to the rain hit your roof? It is quite calming to me to be honest. 

I feel this is a PJ kind of day here at my house! I will be sure to keep the coffee brewing (as always) and relax indoors while Mother Nature water's its garden outside..However, I may step out on my front porch and take in the smell of the rain and the freshness it brings! 

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend! Rain or Shine!!

Until next time... ♥♥

I Can't Sleep, So I Shall Ramble...






I know it's 1:50 a.m. and I am still awake... what better time to post on my blog! There are some nights when I just can't sleep and I find myself sitting at my computer staring at the screen wondering what to do. Have you ever found yourself not wanting to call it a night and just surfing the Internet? I'm sure you have...

We had a lot of company today and it got kinda noisy, so I guess I'm still up because it is calm and quite. I love to have company, but I don't like a lot of noise or a bunch of people crowded in one room, it makes me nervous!

On another subject, I am so ready for Summer!! I can't wait to be able to pack a cooler and head for the lake! I really enjoy the sunshine and water! I only live about 11 miles from the lake, so I am going to be finding me a good soft spot to lay my towel and sink my toes into the sand!

I know, that previous paragraph was a little random...but oh well.... lol...

Guess I'll log off now...probably post another when I get up with my first cup of coffee!! Goodnight All...

Until next time.... ♥♥

Coffee in Other Languages!






Good Wednesday Evening Everyone! I was thinking, with millions of people all over the world drinking coffee, it would be cool to see how they say the word. I know this is random, but thought it would be interesting! So here we go, here is the word "COFFEE" in a few different languages...


  •  Chinese (Cantonese): ga feh / Chinese (Mandarin): kafei
  • Danish: kaffe (pronounced kah-FEY)
  • Filipino/Tagalog: kape
  • French: cafe'
  • German: der Kaffee (pronounced kah-FEE; masculine; the “K” is capitalized because all German nouns are capitalized)
  • Greek: kafés (pronounced ka-FACE)
  • Hawaiian: kope
  • Hungarian: kavé (pronounced KAH-vey)
  • Irish: caife
  • Italian: caffe (pronounced KA-fee)
  • Japanese: koohii
  • Korean: keopi or ko-pyi
Well, there ya go...other ways to say coffee in a few different languages. Although I can't pronouns some of these it's still interesting to learn another language. 

Hope ya'll have an amazing Wednesday!!!
Until next time... ♥♥

Keep Calm and Pretend it's Not Monday!!






Good Monday Morning! I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day weekend! To all the mother's out there, I say you deserve more than just one day to honor everything you do! From the day you become pregnant you are a mother and just because your child grows up and turns 18 doesn't mean your job is over. My children are ages 19 & 20 and I still worry about them as if they were still little. I always tell my children, no matter how old you are I will always worry about you. My children are now parents themselves, so now they know where I'm coming from! Well, Mother's Day for this year has now pasted, so I will get onto another subject!

Again, I apologize to those who read my blog. Last night was the first time I posted something in a while. I don't understand why I got in such a rut, but I guess that's just life and it happens from time to time. But, I am back now and feeling refreshed, hopefully I can get back on track and post daily, with fresh coffee of course!!

Here are a few Monday quotes I found I would like to share...


  • Step aside Monday...this is a job for coffee!
  • Keep calm and pretend it's not Monday
  • If Monday had a face, I would punch it!
  • If each day is a gift, I'd like to know where to return Monday!
Who ordered another Monday?!?!

Even though it is Monday, I hope everyone has a great day...

Until next time.... ♥
