I agree that the worst part of winters here in the northeastern region of the US has got to be the months of everything being gray or brown, or white when there's snow.

You know I get so excited for your hodgepodge girl! I had to laugh with the fishing theme, because my thing I was reminiscing about on my what's up Wednesday post was fishing with the family.

I grew up doing it, and I am planning to get my fishing license so I can do more of it this year since I am playing chauffeur less and less these days. "Fish or cut bait" is my life right now. People are holding up progress and just need to get out of my way and do as I say, mainly the high school! Love the photo of you and your grandma. I have one with me and my Grammie who is holding my son when he was 6 days old, and it is one of my favorites.

I remember being confused, when we moved to the Mainline, when my friend referred to hers. A pocket book is - well - a book small enough to go into your pocket. My purse is related to your pocketbook, however.....straight from the Bermuda Triangle. Glasses, keys and THAT credit card, the only one I use. It has a tendency to nestle into a corner of its special little zipped compartment, never to be found when needed. Of course this is sometimes a good thing!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
