This month, the EtsyBloggers are featuring TiLT Creations! I enjoyed rummaging through her shop, and I just love the backpack she made:
I stopped over by her blog and was greeted by this little cutie:

My Ultimate Travel Goal
I have a dream. I want to visit all the National Parks. I even have a passport to record my visits:
So far, I’ve been to Mammoth Cave and the Great Smoky Mountains. The crown jewel I’m aiming for, though, is to someday visit Yellowstone.
There’s just something about the colorful thermal pools and [...]

Monday Pick-Me-Up: 76 Trombones by a Barbershop Chorus
I love Barbershop Quartets. Barbershop Choruses really blow my mind! The 2009 Barbershop Chorus Champions left me speechless with their arrangement of 76 Trombones from The Music Man.
Video from BarbershopHarmony38
Happy Monday!

All waiting rooms need office kitties
A local counseling office is the home to this little brat diva darling, Maxine. She’s approximately 4 months old, and was adopted from the local shelter. She and her other kitty pal, Minuchin (I still have to get a snapshot of him), are quite the welcoming committee when you walk in the door. [...]

9 Life lessons
1. Be careful how you live your life: you never know if future family members will ever get into genealogy.
2. Entire ecosystems can be formed just by putting produce in the bottom drawer of your refrigerator.
3. Never, ever, EVER complain that your life is boring, because within 24 hours of uttering those words, chaos will [...]

Indoor herbs ignite outdoor plans
My Aerogardenâ„¢ is treating me to wonderful smells now. I’ve started pinching the plants back to make them fill out more, and I do believe that the basil is ready to report for duty next time I make some soup.
I love being able to grow things indoors. The only problem is that I’m [...]

Monday Pick-Me-Up: Talking Cats
Talking animal videos have been done countless times, but Klaatu42 over on YouTube has made some marvelous edits of existing videos, simply adding his own dialog without having to touch the visuals at all. These are two of my favorites so far, and I’m looking forward to more. And I agree. It [...]

Wondering bullets
It’s time for another random bullet post. Just a little glimpse of the types of questions I ponder from time to time:
