You Light Up My Life

I went to yardsales again the other day(never would have guessed it would you,lol). apparently I have went light crazy lately. I couldn't pass up all of the light fixtures and lamps(not to mention all the nik-naks I bought). My Son came and installed the overhead fixtures for me(I don't know what I would do without him)and I just adore them(of course I adore him too). Thank you for lighting up my life(in more ways than one).

A Quick hello

Hey guy's,just checking in. Got this today and thought it was the cutest thing ever. Hope you all have a great weekend. Catch ya later.





Circumcised (this is priceless!) A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the class was squirming around, scratching his crotch, and not paying attention. She went back to find out what was going on. He was quite embarrassed and whispered that he had just recently been circumcised and he was quite itchy. The teacher told him to go down to the principal's office.. He was to telephone his mother and ask her what he should do about it. He did it and returned to his class. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at his desk with his penis hanging out. "I thought I told you to call your mom!" she said. "I did," he said, "And she told me that if I could stick it out till noon, she'd come and pick me up from school." KIDS, DON'T YOU JUST LOVE 'EM! ~Dinah~

A Love Like No Other

Ballad of a Mother's Heart

The night was dark,
For the moon was young,
And the Stars were asleep and rare,
The clouds were thick,
Yet Youth went out,
To see his Maiden fair.

Dear one,
he pleaded as he knelt before her feet in tears.
My love is true,
Why have you kept me waiting all this years?
The maiden looked at him.
Unmoved it seemed,
And whispered low.

Persistent Youth,
You have to prove by deeds,
That your love is true.
"There's not a thing
I haven't done for you,Beloved" said he.
"Then, go." said she. "To your mother dear,
And bring her heart to me.

Without another word,
Youth left and went to his mother dear.
He opened her breast and took her heart!
But he did not shed a tear.

Then back to his Maiden fair,
He ran unmindful of the rain.
But his feet slipped, And he fell down,
As he did, he groaned with pain!

And then, he held the prize,
That would win his Maiden's hands.
But he thought of his mother dear,
So kind,so sweet,so fond

But then,
he heard a voice!
Not from his lips,
But close by.

"Are you ok?" it said.
"Are you hurt,My Child?"
It was his mother's heart.

My Name is Dinah and I'm a Shopaholic

I went to a yard sale this morning and found this painting,it was sooo me that I just had to have it. Nothing wrong with that,right? WRONG!! I have just recently cleaned and donated stuff to make more room. Well in the few short weeks since then all I have done in my free time is go to yard sales and thrift stores and have bought more stuff than I gave away in the first place. So needless to say,my spare room is full once again. All my walls are full,what was I thinking and this is a very large painting. I'm telling myself that I will stop and just start doing my treasure hunting in my spare bedroom. Any idea's on how to stop this addiction? In the mean time I will go and clear a wall to hang this on,right after I check to see if there are any meetings close by. Hope you all have a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day.~Dinah~

Mama's China

Hey Guy's,hope everyone is doing good in blogland. Have you all been busy,busy like me? I guess it's just that time of year when there is not enough hours in the day to get everything done. Here while back when I was cleaning out stuff to give away to charity I packed up my Mothers old china. It was rarely ever used and I really needed to clear out some space. Well the tote with the china sat in my computer room about 6 weeks until just the other night when sentimental ole me reared her head,you guessed it,I couldn't get rid of my Mama's china. So,I cleaned out the old hutch and tada..........this is what I got.









The memories came flooding back and I'm glad I didn't give it away. It may not look like much to the rest of the world,but it reminds me of the woman that meant the world to me. So on Mothers Day I will visit her and put flowers on her grave. Love you Mama.~Dinah~

Bring Your Sense of Humor

This is a little borderline but don't we all have a little redneck in us? I got a good laugh out of it and hope you do too. Have a good night.

What a Difference a Day Makes

Saturday Night brought an F3 Tornado through my small town. For nearly 19 miles of devastation(it was 3/4 of a mile wide).... It looks like a war zone. My family and I were among the lucky one's that had no damage at all,but seeing what other's have lost breaks my heart. There is/was a lot of beautiful woods in my area. This storm has changed that skyline forever. Of the ones lucky enough to have kept their homes,many are still without power. The clean up will take many month's but still you can not replace the history of the age old buildings and the beauty of 150 year old trees. But,here is the amazing part. No one was killed in this storm. To me that is a miracle and much to be thankful for. Here is just a little sample of what could be seen at day break last Sunday morning.
