<b>Home Sweet Home</b></div>
<br />
It has been a while since I have been on here......much has changed so I had to share!!!<br />
We have moved back to Kansas City and it feels good to be home!!! <br />
We do miss the wonderful friends we made during our short stay in Delray Beach, FL and can't wait to go back for a visit!!!! <br />
What a great experience we had living down there....I have come to understand the importance of living outside of ones area code, zip code, and time zone. How complacent we can get when we don't consider what is going on beyond what we have grown up with....at least that is my experience. My eyes were open to new things...,.good and bad.....but during that my faith has grown stronger and hopefully made me a better human being.<br />
Our New Home is quite a blessing but it needs lots of TLC and we are excited to see what we can make it into. It is fun to be back blogging....I hope I can become a better time manager and get on here more often.Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-15388020477446770002011-10-03T09:17:00.002-05:002011-10-03T09:57:45.545-05:00Thank YouThank you to all of you who read my blog!!!<br />I have received so many lovely comments and it does my heart good!!!<br />I wish I were a more disciplined blogger but I have a short attention span and more interests than any one person should have. I am on a mission to change those habits that cause me to feel overwhelmed with life and head on a path of Simplicity (this is a long journey....but baby steps will get me there). Thank you again all of my blogging family, it is nice to know I have such wonderful people thinking about me.<br />I will search my brain and see if I can come up with something fun to blog about soon!!!<br />Have a GREAT WEEK!!!!Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-3909437753496101972011-04-24T08:11:00.002-05:002011-04-24T08:19:51.523-05:00Happy Easter<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2h-8mH4QbiNmRz218SHQuhZZ7TzSMIAbyGk-9EwKA6GMMipbV3P2Do3Z-JYai6R-Tj32OZ4ye99BqaZDyCMUs7L18AINJ2UuxMXf3VxeHW8D-_VT3VQeQNxYJIVGx9bnYlgyARKkDwsJU/s1600/easter-christian-4.jpg"><img style="display: block;

There were also times when people would come over and we would visit....lots of good conversations were had on that front porch. <br /><br />Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some items and I was standing in the candle aisle sniffing the candles when a lady approached me (she was getting ready to make a good smelling purchase as well) and a conversation started......we talked about the scents and then to her grandson and family....it ended up being a lengthy conversation with a complete stranger......after she left I proceeded to the drink aisle where and older gentleman was reading the labels....again another conversation started, this one was not lengthy but it made me think, have we lost something? Have we traded conversations with strangers at Wal-Mart for those days when we would set on our front porches or stoops and talk with our neighbors? <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I am more than willing to have a conversation with a stranger....I am a firm believer in giving everyone a smile and listening to what they have to say. Listening is a lost art and my mission is to bring it back but before I can bring it back I want to understand where we lost it.<br /><br />When I was a young girl I would spend a week in the summer at my Grandmother's house in a quaint Midwestern town where there were front porches on all of the houses and in the evenings those porches were occupied buy the inhabitants and neighbors. A walk in the neighborhood would take for ever because there were many conversations to be had at each home. Children were allowed to run the neighborhood because there was always an eye to make sure they were not in trouble. So did the conversations stop because homes were built with small or no front porches? Or was it because TV replaced our evening rituals, then computers and cell phones with their texting? Can one really hear what a person is saying in a text message?<br /><br />I feel in our quest to become more connected we have become more disconnected. We have taken the emotion out of our communications...now there are some communications that should not involve feelings...that is in business matters (that is a whole other post). With a text or an email....even a phone conversation there is no touch, no opportunity to give a hug if it is needed, no eye contact to let the person you are talking to know you are really listening!!! <br /><br />When was the last time you invited and elderly neighbor to dinner? They hold a vast aount of knowledge and we push them out of our way because we have so many things to get done.....are those things more important then a bringing joy to a human being? As far as that goes, it doesn't even need to be an elderly neighbor....it could be any neighbor. Take the time to make a pot of coffee and put some cookies on a plate and call someone to come have a conversation, when you are done you will feel more connected then if you had sent them a text or given them a call, mostly because you took the time to make them feel special. <br /><br />Now I understand the importance of phone calls, emails and texts....in fact they have become my saving grace since moving 1400 miles away from family and friends.....maybe if I take my own advice I will soon find my front porch full of new friends with new conversations!<br /><br />Give some one the gift of your time it will bless them and you!!!Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-30922271931908360322011-01-28T10:31:00.007-06:002011-01-28T12:14:00.875-06:00When The Donner is Away...Stephie Will PlayWe have lived in our home for almost a year and I have been dreaming of paint schemes for all of the rooms from the day we moved in!!!<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago the Donner was in Vegas at The World of Concrete....he got back the day before our Anniversary....that being said, I decided to surprise him by painting the Living room and revamping some pieces to incorporate into the refreshed space. Now I have labored over how I wanted this room to be.....I have a great fondness for antiques and items that remind me of my Iowa farm roots.....but we now live in Florida and that isn't really the style. I wanted to take things from different parts of our lives and have them reflect who we are now......that is where Home Goods came in.......I love browsing that store!!!!<br /><br />I had spent the day that The Donner left with some friends cruising the Delray Beach Art Festival in hopes of finding something spectacular to put in the room......there was no such luck!!! So the next day I started painting....hoping that inspiration would come.....lets face it by the time I was done the only thing that was going to hit, was my head hitting the pillow!!! Feeling as though I had accomplished a great task by getting the living room painted I decided to treat myself to a little shopping spree. First stop, Home Depot....perhaps if I walked around long enough I would think of something to make....I like to create things (that can be a blessing and a cures sometimes).....wasn't happening that day. Next I was headed to Home Goods.....I wasn't finding a whole lot of treasures until.......I hit the clearance pictures and then I hit the Mother Load!!! I could not have picked a better picture to represent us and this time in our lives....it was a dog running on the beach......now if you have read some of my other posts you would see that we have 3 dogs and they are our 4 legged children.....each one of them are dear to our hearts.....even those little furry friends that have passed on. Not only was a it a dog running on the beach....now I know you are not suppose to have favorites among ones children but Raven is my husbands girl, their devotion to each other can be nauseating.....much like the relationship Sparkles (may she rest in peace) and I had.......the dog in the painting looks like Raven!!!!! Can I hear an AMAZING Wife shout out???? I found a few more treasures and then headed to Joann Fabrics....one of my favorite places to go....looking for some fabric for curtains....but like every trip I make there, I found items for another project.....I think that is my way of always needing to go back....."if I don't find it this time I will surely find it next time".<br /><br />The week went on and I slowly figured out the pieces I wanted to add to the room from the enormous stash of stuff we already had....it came together and I was pleased. The question was...would The Donner be pleased....He Was...what a relief!!!!! <br /><br />There are still a few things to be done and pieces to found...or made......like life it will be an ongoing process........that and I am fickle. I have posted some pictures for anyone interested in looking at the fruit of my labors.......enjoy!!! <br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight:

those times and there is sunshine and hope once again.<span style=""> </span>Those learning times have brought us to a stronger and more precious place in our lives, they have cemented our

CreativeBeing creative is one of the great joys of life for me. Recently I made a scrapbook for a dear friend and thought I would share the result of my endeavor. Paper crafting is one of the many interests I have....I like it because they are projects I seem to finish!!!! This little book was made out of small treat bags; that is how the pockets on the side are created......this little book is like a treasure hunt. I hope you enjoy looking at the fruit of my labors and feel inspired to create something yourself!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZjySszs0XZH4alGk4mhRdFeiwlt__TI_6q8E2TlmhyphenhyphenswthVyGsFaOpBMKIJyBDPsBJ27mJCrWi8JWdp4hBEdgmNNAO1D8mVVQhZBpM2KIoRs5x27KIWC1s1bS4OuLTivTOiC5SyENqN37/s1600/P1040519.JPG"><img style="display: block;

it is a compilation of lessons on topics such as Forgiveness, Providence, Family etc. (68 topics in all) and I keep that as my standard devotional (I do not read it every day....I do try though). Today's topic was on security....which seems to be the lesson God is really trying to get me to see these days. I like to report.....I AM GETTING IT.......WOO HOOO!!!!<br /><br />That makes me gushy but what really brings butterflies to my tummy and makes my heart soar are 2 passages out of today's lesson.<br /><br />1. He is your sure place to stand in a shaky world.<br /><br />If you only knew how long I chose to stay in that shaky world....often being the shaker myself, you would understand my jubilation over those words. I was on the barter system with God (I was, He....not so much). I can remember prayer time used to be spent with me trying to convince God I had a REALLY good plan...I knew how to fix everything so that I would be happy....do you see all the I references????<br />Not until He pointed it out one evening during prayer time by showing me the plans of mine He had allowed and the numerous failures that followed, did I get it......I am a bit stubborn....don't tell my husband I said that!!!!<br />When I stopped looking at the world through my eyes and looked at it through God's eyes....even the shakiest of times were smooth sailing......God's route and His driving are much better than mine....and He is so darn faithful!!!!<br /><br />2. The minute I said, "I'm slipping, I'm falling," your love, God, took hold of me and held me fast. When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up. Psalm 94:18-19 The Message<br /><br />That makes me gushy because it is so true!!!<br />I lived a life in fear that God wouldn't catch me.....I believed I was no good because God didn't give me what I wanted (I was more into the temper tantrum part of being a child....I don't think that is what the scripture meant when it said come as a child....my bad!!!).<br /><br />It all goes back to Rules or Relationship.....I followed the rules and that is where the frustration came from......I followed but only felt burdened and on the brink of failure constantly. Now I choose Relationship and as it grows I feel more and more freedom....freedom to be who God created me to be.<br /><br />That makes me feel Gushy!!!!!!!Princess

words. I believe as humans we complicate life; if we were to follow the guiding of the Holy Spirit and invested more in our own spirit then those things that cause us angst would soon be conquered. You might find my thoughts presumptuous and unrealistic but I assure you they are not. I have lived the life where my time and thoughts were filled with ways I could manipulate my life so I got what I wanted.....I had the perfect plan and I tried with no success to make things happen that were not meant to happen. The day I gave is over to God....I mean really gave it over (I was a Christian a good 10yrs before this momentous release) and let God do what He needed done, miraculous things started to happen. When I quit trying to manipulate my life and cleared my head...I had time to think on lovely things.....I noticed things I had not noticed before......I was free to live in the moment!!! </p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">Before you decide that I am a saint or crazy then I will reveal that I am neither and old habits can creep back in, the difference is I know I have authority over those unproductive thoughts. I am not sharing this information to be boastful or unfeeling....I just want each and everyone of you to experience a life of freedom...I share this hoping you will be encouraged and know that those mountains that you face can be overcome. </p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">Don't misunderstand me....life is still messy and things are not always a walk in the park but how I deal with those unlovely things has changed. When life throws me ugliness I cry out to my Father in Heaven and He gives me the wisdom to see He will get me through what ever is headed my way, good or bad.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal">My New Year wish to you is to let go, marvel in the moments of this coming year and the years to come and sing more joyous songs!!!<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;" class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-88386021242362590362010-12-25T11:51:00.004-06:002010-12-25T11:57:03.617-06:00Merry Christmas!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_xbZI02t1Zq35E43RwG0Om-LCjTW4YUBjVVZxvV8eyXeiXiof3IBU0MZetFXw-8tP2JvvI7mbIHA9dncAXmrR0G61G9YoI3RKqD68bdaCEmJTwt_rK0CPyj1RXzCYzw50vZMXMjPMjwv/s1600/kids+at+table+xmas.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir_xbZI02t1Zq35E43RwG0Om-LCjTW4YUBjVVZxvV8eyXeiXiof3IBU0MZetFXw-8tP2JvvI7mbIHA9dncAXmrR0G61G9YoI3RKqD68bdaCEmJTwt_rK0CPyj1RXzCYzw50vZMXMjPMjwv/s400/kids+at+table+xmas.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554680095753835762" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:georgia, bookman old style, palatino linotype, book antiqua, palatino, trebuchet ms, helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, avante garde, century gothic, comic sans ms, times, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:georgia, bookman old style, palatino linotype, book antiqua, palatino, trebuchet ms, helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, avante garde, century gothic, comic sans ms, times, times new roman, serif;font-size:180%;">Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale<br /><br />Merry Christmas to all!!!<br /></span></div>Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-65277916864137570672010-12-08T06:29:00.002-06:002010-12-08T06:53:12.321-06:00A Fireplace in FL?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpwBc-qNgja2L4Me-0Z-yZih6fZhHU0zDF_RviN-fTBYq3GGGn9APxVrwettCJhqDqCi1Bp5xGVXpkOUiiWp1dvmubHcdXtlwudwqn7eCMxb-I-WUegyFN511ggeKUf-nyzBIV_6Bs5Vwm/s1600/P1040547.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpwBc-qNgja2L4Me-0Z-yZih6fZhHU0zDF_RviN-fTBYq3GGGn9APxVrwettCJhqDqCi1Bp5xGVXpkOUiiWp1dvmubHcdXtlwudwqn7eCMxb-I-WUegyFN511ggeKUf-nyzBIV_6Bs5Vwm/s400/P1040547.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548288178789984706" border="0" /></a><br />When my husband first told me about our house in FL (I didn't see it until the day I moved down) he told about all the great features the house contained....big kitchen.....pool....landscaped yard....fireplace. Now when he told me there was a fireplace I was over the moon excited....think of all the winter nights we could sit around the fire and drink hot buttered rums and watch it snowing outside.......then it hit me.....it wasn't going to be snowing where we were going....we were headed for the Sunshine State (there is a reason they call it that and it isn't because it is overcast and cool!!). <br /><br />Reality sometimes is cruel....then I started thinking....why would you have a fireplace in FL.....everyone I told would say why do you need a fireplace in FL??? <br /><br />Well let me tell you.....it may be the Sunshine State but it still can get chilly. For the first time the other day I did not sweat....I was actually cold....so I pulled out my sweaters and my husband lit a fire in the fireplace......If I would have just remembered to make the hot buttered rums then I would have been good to go!!!!Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-75484108438845825412010-11-25T06:14:00.003-06:002010-11-25T06:24:17.976-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwE8HwWi-63peevkg6YtW1CbPeSBVFw00J1vZwW2KArboTMr7uHSdEKVIupNmDviRvVmVED4cxOO5-ok92XMvKr1BKBUV_2j3k0jIq72wMypOZg42OgZCpyiv8UjNFEgfsipATr0YPQVsT/s1600/thanksgiving-clipart-3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwE8HwWi-63peevkg6YtW1CbPeSBVFw00J1vZwW2KArboTMr7uHSdEKVIupNmDviRvVmVED4cxOO5-ok92XMvKr1BKBUV_2j3k0jIq72wMypOZg42OgZCpyiv8UjNFEgfsipATr0YPQVsT/s400/thanksgiving-clipart-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543460178406311138" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRoviptVx50siJz8rS3f74YDvc2rnS96KD4NrpYA1lZc7R_FGGpD5KSfOGMRHX5kGplcXkI3taGN6VBkjuqe1CwsEiseI5ozUh9_o9FiFpeZB0UEzmEFEJQeuiTAZfS1jHx1-_Hp8hETM2/s1600/thanksgiving-clipart-4.jpg"><span><span></span></span></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho4v7Q5LuavQZvb1lV54Z4NPPsjjNdBVlmS6R1uGcCmj53jnSI9WKhyphenhyphenOaH0PmbPxcFBld0c3YepG4WG4R7IbtMsLpNTfnvWNwMvTvahT7Mgn04WgvHZKKUCeu8mTNoEPtKP55ma1jDgk5j/s1600/turkey-clipart-1.jpg"><span><span></span></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia, bookman old style, palatino linotype, book antiqua, palatino, trebuchet ms, helvetica, garamond, sans-serif, arial, verdana, avante garde, century gothic, comic sans ms, times, times new roman, serif;">To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant,<br />to enact gratitude is generous and noble,<br />but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. <br />~Johannes A.

I know more details about the lives of people I don't even know than I do current issues......I spend more time perusing through yearbooks looking for people I can't remember hoping that something will jog my memory.......I have virtual farms....I look for virtual treasure......I post pictures that my family cringes at...........I tell the facebook world what I am having for dinner, the random thoughts that go through my head and openly share my opinions about everything I have an opinion on.......that is a lot of opinions!!!!<br /><br />I finds myself getting that same feeling of anxiety as I did in High School when I post something and no one responds or some one wants to be friends with everyone else but has not requested me to be their friend....yet I am friends with people I don't even know.

I have never been so wet in my entire life.....I have things sweating that I didn't even know could sweat!!!! As hot as it is here in Florida....my poor family and friends in Iowa are really suffering!!! Not only are they contending with record highs but...RAIN....RAIN....RAIN and FLOODS....FLOODS.....FLOODS!!!! <br /><br />Being hot is just a way of life in Florida but the extremes of living in the Midwest can be very daunting.....the saving grace is that the weather can change in an instant. Fall is around the corner.....MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR.......and with it will bring sweatshirt wearing days and wrap your self in a blanket evenings!!!!<br /><br />My favorite times in the fall are the mornings....a cup of coffee taste even better on a fall morning......sitting on the porch watching the squirrels labor as they prepare for winter and seeing the birds fly with a rejuvenated spirit because they now they are headed for some new adventures. <br /><br />I am inspired by the warm colors that dot the landscape and the smells that waft over me as I drive down the road or walk into a shop selling seasonal fare. I am giddy over the displays that the store proprietors create and I am full of anticipation knowing that the Holiday festivities will soon be upon us. I am ready to wrap myself in a sweater and sip a Pumpkin Latte and watch the show that the great outdoors performs.......Oh the longings for fall are equal to the longings of being in the Midwest during that magical time of the year. This year I will have new things to experience and new stories to add to my life....it is OK to ache a little for what you don't have....just don't forget to be open for what is ahead of you.Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-74166179956444947672010-08-11T22:37:00.002-05:002010-08-11T22:38:32.194-05:00Wordless Wednesday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_WXoACpqTvnV9NDfja_qEX3gb2K4wkdDC5CKAj181VNvc6Mixu362lo_rEY_FBv7nkCrmklThx1Jx_qeyBS6nvQF_mcTbcxACM_U23aSA2B88Uzruy4YRlw_ncwuApFjCOShSZCBpEFWt/s1600/P1040292.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_WXoACpqTvnV9NDfja_qEX3gb2K4wkdDC5CKAj181VNvc6Mixu362lo_rEY_FBv7nkCrmklThx1Jx_qeyBS6nvQF_mcTbcxACM_U23aSA2B88Uzruy4YRlw_ncwuApFjCOShSZCBpEFWt/s400/P1040292.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504362662494044770" border="0" /></a>Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-9159410513510809732010-08-10T19:51:00.004-05:002010-08-10T20:04:34.821-05:00I Missed My Callilng<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikkXDEy58IW52_KA5Ze1SAuxwxf7rQbGC4zX-kFW5YOPV0o99y688SXoT1LTSLBtEDJk2rsUW8_IPkQUX1KU0sqs1mqGrH2jbbnwXSDnF_BOGpuV4PxTIStfTfL8w-pN9Qnc96rAstnbxL/s1600/3stephanie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikkXDEy58IW52_KA5Ze1SAuxwxf7rQbGC4zX-kFW5YOPV0o99y688SXoT1LTSLBtEDJk2rsUW8_IPkQUX1KU0sqs1mqGrH2jbbnwXSDnF_BOGpuV4PxTIStfTfL8w-pN9Qnc96rAstnbxL/s400/3stephanie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503950754494698658" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji28a444jDk2bmMws-z77M5jPdiLJfo1Hz83AZRwL537lMJmyhc-xC_u64Pfj1FoytqHr2iS_qYL0p2AkBME-sJz7Ox7YDgE3RCYnMS-2ENzmsbJPBO_oNdG4bPep_7k5BFvsoduCa5VD0/s1600/4stephanie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji28a444jDk2bmMws-z77M5jPdiLJfo1Hz83AZRwL537lMJmyhc-xC_u64Pfj1FoytqHr2iS_qYL0p2AkBME-sJz7Ox7YDgE3RCYnMS-2ENzmsbJPBO_oNdG4bPep_7k5BFvsoduCa5VD0/s400/4stephanie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503948776822547506" border="0" /></a><br />After running across these AWESOME pictures of my youth it has become clear to me that I missed my calling as a world famous model!!!!<br /><br />I must admit....that bustline is a bit enhanced.....I wish they were like balloons now........I wouldn't need them lifted!!!<br /><br />I have pondered these pictures and decided.....I haven't really changed that much....when I have an audience....I Showboat.....much to my husband's chagrin!!!<br /><br />I love to laugh and I find laughing at myself can be very therapeutic.....have you been in touch with that free spirit that lives in you lately??? <br /><br />I think I need her to come out more often......I do wish I had her flat stomach!!!Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-89829036959008500712010-04-08T13:17:00.012-05:002010-04-08T14:48:56.948-05:00We Aren't in Kansas Anymore Biscuit!!!It is official, we have made it to the Sunshine State.....it is true the sun does shine a lot down here!!!!

I had only seen pictures of it and thought it was pretty but once I got here I fell in love!!! I have a kitchen made for a cook....and boy do I like to cook.....a fireplace with a custom made mantle (I know it is southern FL...they say we will use it).......and a back room that has been designated my space for creativity!!!!! There are a few projects we need to work on but nothing major...a little paint here and a little paint there....just to make it our own.......that is such a relief!!! We enjoyed our little cottage in Kansas City but it was an ongoing project that seemed to have no end in sight......I am glad that is not the case here.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq2OLxbDSuSLv6QnhcB-z1I8GHQOiisk37XL9NjTzm9uYQR50A0m_G4fNiRgXvsbMTeGLYM-cPgky9u8ksqEE1IEGEBDImufeS6V_VNIZEQN7hn9pRp20-_oM-ewHtrmcGJ28i6RHMLTd_/s1600/1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq2OLxbDSuSLv6QnhcB-z1I8GHQOiisk37XL9NjTzm9uYQR50A0m_G4fNiRgXvsbMTeGLYM-cPgky9u8ksqEE1IEGEBDImufeS6V_VNIZEQN7hn9pRp20-_oM-ewHtrmcGJ28i6RHMLTd_/s400/1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457843451154989330" border="0" /></a>Home Sweet Home<br /></div><br /><br />There are so many other things to do......like Beach Time!!!!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPrcV6JSXuWAp9lJU31gh8zUU6Q8837kedXfOOhxceivgeTEW_6_uzZVz3gClis-zCpkdABHXuiRTunm0XiFD-jitY_nnHafvW69B2qA7w5Xv4yju59HCCB2jZVlx0TayXQktHy9sQS8Wu/s1600/P1020394.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPrcV6JSXuWAp9lJU31gh8zUU6Q8837kedXfOOhxceivgeTEW_6_uzZVz3gClis-zCpkdABHXuiRTunm0XiFD-jitY_nnHafvW69B2qA7w5Xv4yju59HCCB2jZVlx0TayXQktHy9sQS8Wu/s400/P1020394.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457841582544094754" border="0" /></a>Dad and I took a break from the boxes and headed to the beach!!!<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp-7wDTb3OhKTP2yn8B_IldAwU16h_QYlhJU4NTe2Kz2YQotooW77fOBjJK2hPSp_f3lcDYZCmNui1BpN6h6CVjkmJAxtAZ9kLtuQu0wxoiiE-swHb8GAqdZstvm5umr0ADc5CkGeBzJuW/s1600/P1020400.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp-7wDTb3OhKTP2yn8B_IldAwU16h_QYlhJU4NTe2Kz2YQotooW77fOBjJK2hPSp_f3lcDYZCmNui1BpN6h6CVjkmJAxtAZ9kLtuQu0wxoiiE-swHb8GAqdZstvm5umr0ADc5CkGeBzJuW/s400/P1020400.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457841570400304882" border="0" /></a>Nothing says FL like a concrete porpoise!!!!<br /></div><br />I do miss my Family and friends in the Midwest but I look forward to lots of visits and calls from them!!!

I am not going to worry about what I haven't accomplished....I am only going to look to the future and be hopeful of what is to come.<br />We may have a house and with lots of prayers and a little luck I could be living with my husband again in February......YEAH!!!!! I have sooooo enjoyed my time in Iowa, spending time with family and friends....and it is going to be very hard leaving. My heart will always belong in Iowa but I am getting excited about the move to Florida. There are so many things to explore, so many people to meet but................Visitors are WELCOME!!!!<br />For Christmas I got a lovely picnic (wine) basket and I cant wait to take it to the beach and enjoy some time with my husband. Being with The Donner again will be a little weird, we haven't lived together for almost a year....I guess we are going to have to date again!!!Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-37125611051188855762010-01-12T20:00:00.001-06:002010-01-13T21:32:15.955-06:00Those Were the Days<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjaqL6VZm0k-W7McP_bpqbGp8cNiqYGX0ycr4nr8D-DPZeUw8oFu80J0v_89SfgJu363KS9-ZWAXyzhoNM0rHo5tGmGpaOzfwTvpvi9yEu98MTm0bNDuuXAeWCp7c8QkCNfXPsK7fVWkfl/s1600-h/8-18-2009_004.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjaqL6VZm0k-W7McP_bpqbGp8cNiqYGX0ycr4nr8D-DPZeUw8oFu80J0v_89SfgJu363KS9-ZWAXyzhoNM0rHo5tGmGpaOzfwTvpvi9yEu98MTm0bNDuuXAeWCp7c8QkCNfXPsK7fVWkfl/s400/8-18-2009_004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412690905196214946" border="0" /></a>I was making a killer fashion statement in the above get up!!!!<br /></div>Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-19367498305881851722009-09-16T21:50:00.003-05:002009-09-16T23:59:12.383-05:00I Am Alive!!!!I have been a bad blogger this summer......but I have been having FUN!!!!!! <br /><br />I am in IA....my home state....where the land that my family has farmed for over 100yrs runs through my veins........where my dearest and oldest friends live and are ready to welcome me with open arms.....where my family that was there to mold me and lead on my way to independence keeps a place for me at the table.....that is just a small part of this great state. <br /><br />I am home when I am in IA......not to say I am not home when I am with my husband in FL (we still are looking for a place to call home) but it is different. There is comfort in history especially ones own history. Our future in another state will be exciting and I look forward to exploring our new home state but the good Lord knew that I needed this time with my family, my friends and my history to prepare for the next journey.<br /><br />My friends Arlene and Bill stopped by on their way from Witchita to Wisconsin in July and we ventured up to the train in Boone, IA. If you have not done this trip I suggest it as a fun family outing....there is nothing overly exciting about it other than the landscape and the thoughts of a time since past, where trains were the way to travel, where the whistle of a train would symbolize the spirit of adventure and the anticipation of new land coursed through this nation. <br /><br />I have spent time with my parents....time that I haven't gotten to spend with them for several years. As we grow older and get into our daily routines we do not get to have the gift of time we had when we were younger (a gift we did not know how to use). I have been able to have share stories, participate in family meals and fellowship with my parents with out the time restraints that I have had in the past. We have gotten projects done that have been waiting for a rainy day and we have reminisced about the loved ones who have gone ahead of us to our final home in Heaven. <br /><br />I have enjoyed time with old friends and new found friends laughing, fellowshipping and reconnecting. I have been blessed with rediscovering old relationships that I thought were lost only to find they could be found again. I have traveled the path between Corydon and Ottumwa several times and discovered new things I had never noticed before.<br /><br />I got to visit Donnie in Florida and to my relief, I am excited to have the opportunity to live there. It was nice to be with my husband, to feel a little bit of normalcy again. I will blog of my trip in a future post....I promise!!!!<br /><br />This has been a summer of refreshing of regrounding. I was lost in the ebb and flow that the world has conditioned us to follow. I was lost in the lie that more is more and if you aren't busy every minute of the day you aren't doing your part. I have relearned that the gifts of the day are the cool breeze on a warm day, the song of the cardinal as he sings for a mate and just being in the presence of the ones we love.Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-33661348815610781902009-07-07T10:19:00.005-05:002009-07-07T10:59:41.373-05:00Alllllll Aboard!!!Before I left Kansas City my friend Arlene came up from Wichita with her husband Bill for a visit.

It was fun getting to walk through the different cars of the train and imagining the people who use to ride them as their mode of transportation.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXJF4o72_s0eCfV3fEO0GnbK08VpJNL-9EIfLhabcAwSqNaZG1iOIUiyVjYB8Jn_FH-13huiAO1VtdUnrRXvr0jmX2YFnxLb2GVpzGeOLrIddR3OCisb61JqhWvaOKTwomrPu-GY1hL_sf/s1600-h/P1000885.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXJF4o72_s0eCfV3fEO0GnbK08VpJNL-9EIfLhabcAwSqNaZG1iOIUiyVjYB8Jn_FH-13huiAO1VtdUnrRXvr0jmX2YFnxLb2GVpzGeOLrIddR3OCisb61JqhWvaOKTwomrPu-GY1hL_sf/s400/P1000885.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355745076020434802" border="0" /></a>The official Train Ride Sign!!!<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHNCBjG9zXjffPNEGx2kKqltvC-KYksx2IxdFmuDHK8Ofb2bKlTB1uR9vWjvx56pq_mQ7Ry-pNrnSb__5e00AzJ8WUpNPsD8_jjVFrt-EIyaVLLxSJ1UGStE4giHSIwOr9MtyEYvqoZfX/s1600-h/P1000868.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHNCBjG9zXjffPNEGx2kKqltvC-KYksx2IxdFmuDHK8Ofb2bKlTB1uR9vWjvx56pq_mQ7Ry-pNrnSb__5e00AzJ8WUpNPsD8_jjVFrt-EIyaVLLxSJ1UGStE4giHSIwOr9MtyEYvqoZfX/s400/P1000868.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355745067657008978" border="0" /></a>Here is my TICKET!!!<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAb2WEJEiiEs15BFfDh6beuXwmkge5OyGDbCt3aP-tkNg5waoUPoAqLyCNjHD6d1EXkBeeMo9dYWwdow4PPeph_5A_g9VCW9zwoI2HhwVtwQH5ACUwsktopPjpZ8zz20HdDkiNwoVmFhy/s1600-h/P1000858.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAb2WEJEiiEs15BFfDh6beuXwmkge5OyGDbCt3aP-tkNg5waoUPoAqLyCNjHD6d1EXkBeeMo9dYWwdow4PPeph_5A_g9VCW9zwoI2HhwVtwQH5ACUwsktopPjpZ8zz20HdDkiNwoVmFhy/s400/P1000858.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355745064558516642" border="0" /></a>Bill and Ar posing for me!!!<br /></div><br />The best part of the trip was getting to spend time with my friends, they are a blessing to me.

We are in the transition phase so the dogs and I are in Corydon, IA and Donnie is in FL....Andrew our son decided to stay in Kansas City........we will miss him but we are excited for him to claim his independence.<br /><br />Corydon,IA is a fun little community, I can take a walk at 10:00pm and not have to worry about being bothered......very different from Kansas City!!! I have a bike that I use to get around town and my first full week here I helped with Vacation Bible School.<br /><br />My mom has decided that it is time to downsize and I am here to help her get the job done. We are going through over 50yrs of stuff.......we have gotten a lot done but have quite a ways to go. We have found lots of treasures and memories of those who have left this world come flooding back when we run across those special treasures.<br /><br />I will be spending time with my family in Ottumwa, IA too!!! I am excited to have this time to be surrounded by family and friends. I do miss my husband very much.....this time in IA would be sweetened if he could be here with me. He is busy with work and checking out Open Houses, looking for our next home.......we know it is going to be different from what we are used to but excited to start this new adventure together.Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431318060095844335.post-28330064906057007572009-07-04T12:48:00.002-05:002009-07-04T16:08:17.574-05:00Happy Independence Day!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM0UwfM9OwYuQ2bP6P5mUuxAW7uw16WGSzyW-llZHujpaMuSpYcglpKSx_8RT6RiZ_Hi_TQWDdJuwbZptRRhKkUDx-n4vHMfFLs5IdQmEmtr8D9Zv16JeT_lStSy-Br0svwWa1AXOW_3ds/s1600-h/american-flag-clipart-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM0UwfM9OwYuQ2bP6P5mUuxAW7uw16WGSzyW-llZHujpaMuSpYcglpKSx_8RT6RiZ_Hi_TQWDdJuwbZptRRhKkUDx-n4vHMfFLs5IdQmEmtr8D9Zv16JeT_lStSy-Br0svwWa1AXOW_3ds/s400/american-flag-clipart-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354663417609744898" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:georgia,bookman old style,palatino linotype,book antiqua,palatino,trebuchet ms,helvetica,garamond,sans-serif,arial,verdana,avante garde,century gothic,comic sans ms,times,times new roman,serif;font-size:180%;" >This nation will remain the land of the free<br />only so long as it is the home of the brave.<br />~Elmer Davis</span><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /><br />Happy 4th of July!!!<br />Have a Safe and Enjoyable Holiday!!!<br /></span></div>Princess Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12532691526236273002noreply@blogger.com2
