Progress Report

Well, it hasn't been easy... switching the diet to all healthy stuff. 
Progress is having lost 4 lbs so far!

I'm starting to feel better and have more energy - which I'm sure is a side effect from eating better! LOL

Until next update, I hope everyone is having a great summer!

Thinking about Vintage....

This is what I envision when I think about vintage... the everyday people. This is a photo of my maternal Grandparents in the 40's-50's.  I miss them very much... they were such a big part of my life while growing up.  It's too bad that families aren't like that these days.... I have fond memories of them being around - Bubba helping out with house repair stuff and Gramma helping with gardening, cooking, & cleaning.  Spend the nights at their house were always special!  Bubba would let me play with the big block batteries and light bulbs and show me how current worked... Gramma would let me hang out in the kitchen with her....  yes, fond memories!

Decorating time!

Time to decorate for Christmas... I found this and thought it was pretty interesting to see how trees were decorated long ago! Enjoy!

Do you remember?

• Howdy Doody

Do you also remember when women/girls acted like nice proper ladies? And men/boys acted like fine proper gentleman??  Even the risque photos of the pinup girls were done tastefully...  I'm not naive enough to believe that there were no naked photos or promiscuous behavior going on at the time, but it wasn't flaunted all over the place like it is today.
It's time for me to go enjoy my homemade Potato Soup (my Grandmother's recipe from the depression).  It is so yummy and perfect for a chilly day like today! 
Enjoy reminiscing....
