Philadelphia Freedom Sweet Boy and Sweet Girl leave a penny at the graves of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Franklin. Because “A penny saved, is a penny earned”. This was a lesson learned earlier in the day while visiting the Philadelphia Mint. No pictures are allowed though. The original Miss Independence and her escort on the ... View the Post
A Patriotic Party
As Gunn's, our Scottish family loves to wear its plaid! Here is A Patriotic Party. A Patriotic Party When Mr. Decor retired we were ready to celebrate. I was blessed that my airman came home from every single one of his missions. We decided to go against the average ho-hum series of speeches and put a Scottish twist on things as a nod to his heritage. His clan motto is “Either Peace or War”.

It is a brilliant, EVIL ploy because they know they have to have smiling faces on Mother’s Day. I even ... View the Post
A wee little tea set
My sweet Grandma Jingles (as affectionately called by my children) recently sent me a package. She had decided to move again into an assisted living facility and had to downsize a bit. She thought that I would probably adore and treasure a wee little tea set she played with as a girl. A wee little tea set Treasure indeed. These wee cups are over 80 years old. I adore the sweet bluebird that adorns the dishes. I am overjoyed that the dishes were well loved and have a few chips and ... View the Post
