Hi Debra,

It’s unbelievable to be with someone you’ve known all your life and they don’t remember you.I will be praying for you all. I love bunnies, have collected them for years. Don’t have real ones though. Love your giveaways.

Verrryyyy nice giveaway! KJ from Idyllic was the one who sent me here. You have a lovely blog which has now been bookmarked so I can return.
You mention your mother’s alzheimers. Blessings on your time with her. We have experienced it with a close family friend and my father-in-law had a brain injury which caused similar problems.
It is very generous of you to allow your circumstances to help others.
Becky K.
Julie from Nunnie’s Attic told me about your blog and drawing! What a wonderful selection of gifts you have put together. I love your old house photos. I have also been ‘in love’ with TWO old houses when I was YOUNGER!! Glad to be in a newer home now, though.

I used to raise dust bunnies, but last year a few escaped. Now they hide in corners and breed and multiply like nobody’s business. Therefore we’ve have to bring in Mr. Hoover to help keep the population down to a manageable level.
