Martha's Happy PlaceHoping You Have A Wonderful Spring!
April 06 Long Time No HearHowdy All! I know…it’s been a LONG time since I stopped in here and wrote. I can’t write much at the moment since I’m about ready to call it a night after playing around with some of the new stuff on here. I’m still not quite sure what I think of all of it…LOL!
Anywho…I will try and give you all a nice long post in the next few days…just to get everybody caught up with everything going on in my little world. Take care and I’ll be back soon!
Love & Blessings,
Martha October 14 Finally...A New Post....LOL! Howdy All,
 Well here I am once again with another new post. Sorry that it has taken me a while to post on here but as always things have been busy!
As you can see by the new photos I posted...we do have our upstairs den all painted and pictures up on the wall. I have to say...it really looks good. Now we are planning to get started on the living room down stairs sometime next weekend. We were hoping to do it this weekend but Colin took me out this weekend for my B-Day (my B-Day was on Oct. 2) since he was unable to do it last weekend due to illness (we both had the stomach flu last weekend
 ). Not a great way to spend the weekend I can tell ya. LOL! But wouldn't you know it.....I was all better just in time to go back to work Monday...that figures! LOL! In other news....
My Step-Kids will be coming for Christmas this year!!!!! YAY! Last week we booked and paid for their flights and they will be arriving on December 20! Woot Woot! Now I just hope that we have a white Christmas for them. They don't get a lot of snow in England....just rain....so their big wish is that they get to see a good old fashioned Pennsylvania snow storm! I guess I better put my order for it in early with the Man upstairs so that it gets here in time huh? LOL! This will also be the first time they have ever spent Christmas with us in the USA. Usually they come for the Summer but this year they wanted to be here for Christmas and thank the Lord we were able to save up enough pennies to make it happen! I'm sooooo excited! Can't you tell? LOL!
Moving right along....
I want to take the time to wish all my friends up north in Canada a very Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I hope you guys had a good one! We won't have ours here in the USA till next month so if you guys have any leftovers....please e-mail me some....LOL!
Anyway...I guess that will just about do it for me....I hope I'll get a chance to get back here soon with another update...hopefully before Christmas would be nice huh? LOL! Hope everybody had a wonderful weekend and hope you all have a great week!
Love & Blessings,
 Martha  September 02 Been a Busy Girl!Hello All!
Yes I know...I've been gone WAY too long...LOL! But hey...here I am again! Just thought it was time to do a little catching up.
Colin and I have done some more painting around here. We managed to get the hallway both upstairs and down completely painted! I have pictures of it in my album but incase you don't have time to look through it I thought I would stick one right here.....
 How's that for bright huh? LOL! When we first put it on the walls we thought...Oh good heavens...people are gonna go blind when they walk into our house....LOL! But then as it dried and once we put some pictures up it really came together more and I actually like it! It's warm, happy and bright and says.....welcome to our home! Now that was the look I had wanted.
Colin and I also got some more painting done this weekend too. We managed to get the Den upstairs all painted and that means we are completely done painting the upstairs and can now move on to getting the downstairs painted. I don't have any pictures of the Den yet since the paint is still wet and we can't move any furniture back into place nor can we hang the pictures back up. But I promise that I will get pictures of it as soon as the paint is dry and we have it looking just they way we want it.
On to other things......
Yesterday Colin took me to the McLain Celtic Festival here in Carlisle! We had a blast! We saw all kinds of traditional Celtic dancing from Ireland, Scotland and Wales, listened to traditional Celtic Music, watched men in Kilts playing in the Highland Games and had Traditional Celtic and British foods to eat! Needless to say...Colin was REAL pleased about that! LOL! I have quite a few pictures of it posted in my album also but thought I would share with you one of my favorites....
 This guy was a real sweetheart! I asked him politely if I may take his picture and he said sure why not plus told me an Irish joke (since he saw that I was wearing an Irish T-Shirt) to add to my ever growing list of Irish jokes...LOL! Bless him! LOL! It really was a fun day out and I will be going back there again next year! I might not have been able to get to a Pow Wow this Summer but at least I got to enjoy something from the other culture in my family.
As you can tell by the change here on my blog...the kids have gone back to school. Much to their dismay...LOL! But at least this weekend they have a 3 day weekend along with Colin and I since Monday is Labor Day. Hooray for 3 day weekends....you know I love 'em! LOL!
Anyway....that will just about do it for me for now. I hope to get back here soon and I FINALLY found a new place to host music files! HOORAY! I don't think its as good as Filelodge was so who knows how long the music will be playing on here but for right now...I'm loving it! LOL! Have a great rest of your weekend guys and I will speak to you all again soon!
Love & Blessings,
 Martha
July 23 Got Two More Rooms DoneHowdy All,
 Well as you can see by the photos that I posted Colin and I got Mel's room all painted and done plus our own. Sorry that I didn't get to write soon but heck...I was busy. LOL!
My two weeks off are now over and last week was my first week back after my two weeks of freedom. Talk about hard man...LOL! Oh well like they say...all good things must come to an end and vacation time is no exception...for sure.
Anyway...I guess I'll get going for now. I see that some of you have commented on my last blog and I will do my best to write back to you. I might even get it done tonight. *fingers crossed* LOL! Hope you all had a great day today...for a Monday...lol...and I'll speak to you all again soon!
Love & Blessings,
Martha
PS....Today is Colin's B-Day so if you want...you can wish him a Happy 46th B-Day right here...LOL! Bless Him!  June 28 Howdy! Hey All,
 Well I know it's been a while but here I am...back again. Sorry it took me a while to write in here but I guess..... as usual..... I've been one busy girl...LOL!
Right now I'm in the middle of my two weeks off from work. This is what we call our summer break and I have to say I'm loving it! LOL! I have managed to get some things accomplished around here including getting my son's room all painted and decked out in the colors of his favorite American football team...the Philadelphia Eagles! Now he doesn't know what we have done to it because right now as I speak..... he is up at his dad's visiting him for a few weeks this summer. He's gonna be sooooo surprised when he gets home!
 I can't wait!  The girls are also up in Lewistown spending time with their dad, friends and my family. Since they won't be here for a few weeks...... my daughter Melanie is the next one on our list to get a room makeover! She picked out her bedding from Target before she left and it should be getting delivered to the house sometime tomorrow. After that...we are going to go buy the paint for her walls and will be getting started on that sometime over the weekend. I'm so excited!
Colin also wants to get our room, our den upstairs,and the whole rest of the house painted before the end of summer! Wow! I'm tired just thinking about it.....LOL! Don't worry....I'll be taking plenty of pictures of the rooms as they get done so that all of you can see. You have no idea how happy I am to finally be able to deccorate a house any way I want! WEEEEE!
Anyway...I guess that will just about do it for me. I hope all of you are doing well and I'll do my best to get back on here as soon as I can!
Love & Blessings,
 Martha
  May 27 Happy Memorial Day! Howdy All,
I just wanted to stop by quick and wish all of you a very Happy and Safe Memorial Day weekend! I'll be going up to Lewistown tomorrow to spend Memorial Day with my family. I just hope I feel better tomorrow than I have today so far. My allergies have been just terrible lately and I think I might be coming down with a sinus infection....YUCK!
Anyway.... I guess that will do it for me for now....once again...have a wonderful Memorial Day and please take the time to remember those that have fought and died for our country. They paid the ultimate price so that we continue to live in freedom. Also say a prayer for those that are still out there in harms way....may they be back with their loved ones soon! Take care all!
Love & Blessings,
Martha
 May 13 Happy Mother's Day! Hey All,
 Well here I am again...yeah I know....I've been slacking...LOL! The last time I wrote to everybody was clean back on Easter! LOL! What can I say...I've been one busy lady! LOL!
Before I get started....I want to take the time to wish all of you Moms and Moms To Be out there a very Happy Mother's Day. I hope that your hubby and kids treated you to a nice day out or at least cooked the Sunday dinner for ya. Let's face it...us Moms sure can use a break every once in a while. My Mother's Day actually started yesterday with Colin taking me out to eat to my favorite Chinese resturant and it continued into today with a surprise gift of an assortment of my favorite scented bodywash and such from one of my favorite stores! Yey! These kids really do know how to win brownie points with me...LOL! To be honest...it wasn't the kids that picked it out...it was Colin....but he said it was from the kids...LOL! Figures huh? LOL! Anyway...hope everybody had a wonderful Mother's Day and to all of you other people who aren't Moms.......Have you done something nice for dear old Mom? LOL!
On to other things....
Well the new job is still going well.....I am feeling more at home there everyday and the kids really do keep me hopping and feeling young. This is a good thing for a 30 something gal. LOL! Anything to help me hold on the my youth just a little while longer....LOL! Don't get me wrong...there are days when I am more than ready to leave at 5:30 PM....LOL! But for the most part it has been a wonderful opportunity for me to learn something new and to grow as an individual. I am just so grateful!
Well....this coming Friday is my daughter Sarah's Junior Prom. *sigh* It is just so hard to believe that my oldest is quickly becoming a lovely, wonderful, young lady! I will do my best to get pictures of her and her date all decked out for this evening affair! Her date will be a good friend of hers from Lewistown named Josh. Actually he is a little bit more than a friend. I think he is going to become her boyfriend but I guess we'll have to wait and see what comes of this little teenage romance. Sheeesh! Boy I don't miss that crap I'll tell ya...LOL!
The weather here has finally been...well....more like Spring! LOL! With the Spring weather getting here all the kids have been out and about on there bikes and playing basketball at the park. It's just lovely! However...with the nice weather has come the assorted injuries too. Yep that's right...my son hurt his arm when he wrecked his bike! OUCH! He has what is called a green stick fracture. Now this is when the bone doesn't break but is just bent out of shape some and now he is stuck wearing a splint and is not allowed to play basketball or ride his bike until it is fully healed. Needless to say he is not a happy camper about the whole thing. But I told him that with playing outside and doing outdoor activities comes the risk of injury and that he should feel lucky that it wasn't a regular fracture that would require him to wear a heavy duty plaster cast. He is pretty glad about that. At least with this splint he can take it off to get a shower every night and can just put it back on when he is done. The hard part for him is not being able to do all the things he likes to do. That I can understand. the good news is he only has a few more weeks to go and then it should be fully healed. The last time he was at the doctor's they took more x-rays of his arm and said that it is healing nicely and that he should be fully recoved by the time he goes back to see them again on May 31! HOORAY! Now I wonder what he's gonna injure next?
 LOL! Anyway...I guess that pretty much wraps it up for me as far as what has been going on here. I hope everybody has had a wonderful weekend and I'll try and get back here soon!
Love & Blessings,
Martha |
