When autum leaves are falling...........

Hi out there in my little blog land, we have a chill in the air and few leaves on the tree's. It is November in Ohio...cold and dark at 6:00. Makes me want to cuddle up with a warm throw and a good book. The picture above hangs in my dining room and I think it say so much about this time of year. It makes me stop and reflect on the all so many blessings I have, and how much I take for granted. I think we live our busy live day to day not realizing how much we have...until it is taken away. I have a friend who lost her mother two weeks ago and another friend who lost her daughter two days ago. I want us all to stop and realize that the family and friends we have are such an important part of our daily live.
I want to thank God for the good health I have today and hope and pray it will stay that way. I want us all to tell those close to us just how much we care.
I will try to think of a blessing each day in November and be thankful for this season we call Autumn and the day we call Thanksgiving.
We live for the bounties of fall, but the harvest of friendship and family is blessed above all. Please take the time to be thankful for all you have and to see the beauty of Autumn.
Love ya, Sharon K

Show And Tell Friday

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Show and tell is sponsored by Kelli at There is no place like home. I was not sure what to post for show and tell, then I looked out my window and thought....why not show the checked curtains that I made this week. I have not sewed in years and thought why not try again. I went out and bought a machine and fabric and like magic I now have a little summer place at the lake with country curtains.
I like the look that I now have achived. A little bit of country, a little bit of nautical and I am a happy camper. My summer home is a 35 foot trailer and it is little and cozy and fells like home. If it gets to small I will spend a day or so at Amelia Rose Cottage. Now I will have to sit and think about next Friday and the next show and tell. Good work Kelli...........Have a wonderful weekend every one.....Sharon K.

My Little Girls Growing Up.........

I went in town this week and received Brittany"s senior pictures and Lindsey's 3rd. grade pictures. And of course I will find a special place for them in my little home at the lake. It seems like yesterday Brittany was in junior high and now she will be a senior in HS in the fall. Senior pictures sure have changed , when my girls were in school they were the normal pictures..... no pearls like I had a hundred years ago. Now the girls take 6 out fits along and change not just the pose but clothes.

This is Lindsey's picture and they are also quite different then the grade school pictures of long ago. This Sunday will be Lindsey's 9Th birthday and one of her gifts is getting a new decorated bedroom...one for a more mature young lady, grandma and mom painted and put a wallpaper border that she chose. We thought she would choose something different then she did. She choose a wallpaper border with puppies...cute little puppies.....and guess what she wants to go with the new room. A puppy of her own. I think Mom and Lindsey may go dog shopping this Saturday. They hope to find a small puppy that is looking for a new home and a puppy bedroom.

I got home today and will work on a few more projects at my little home at the lake. As they say......a lady's work is never done..........Sharon K

Sir Winston And His New Home

As you can see from the picture Winston is so happy to be back at the lake. I was not sure if he would remember his little summer home, but no fear he is quite comfortable and very happy. He found his little bed and is ready for an afternoon nap, sleep tight Winston.

I have posted a few pictures of Winston's summer home.


It is raining and cool in Ohio today so Winston and I stayed in the house. I bought a sowing machine with me, I have my scrapbook material here and of course my laptop and blogs to read.....so I can keep very busy on a rainy day at Winston's new little summer home. Have a good evening..........Sharon K

My Home Town

Another beautiful day in Ohio, I do think spring has arrived and it is wonderful after the very bitter cold winter we had. We have moved down the road to our little summer place at the lake. Our condo is only 2 miles away and will be available for family and friends to stay in at night. The summer place only has one bedroom so I am sure the condo will be very handy during the summer months.

I found this picture and fell in love with the children on the beach. I would love to find clothes like this and take pictures of my grandchildren. If I found the clothes I know a lot of grandparents who would love the pictures. If any one out there in blog land knows of a shop who may carry vintage clothes, please let me know.
We have been at the summer place during the summer for nine years and I feel at home here. I have Lake Erie in the front yard and a beach on the side yard. My grandchildren grew up here and it is a fun place to be. Port Clinton is a resort area in the summer and a ghost town in the winter. Many of the business close down during the winter months. Port Clinton is an hour away from Toledo and an hour away from Cleveland Ohio. We have Cedar Point amusement park and many island get a ways in the area. I will take pictures of the area in another post. It is so neat to share the area where you live with blogging friends. I feel like I have traveled all over the world through some of the blogs I have read. We can share the home we live in and the town where we walk.

This is a picture of Marble Head light house that is in the area, a nice place to visit and sit a while. The tree's are now just starting to bud and the flowers are blooming......so spring has arrived in Port Clinton Ohio. I will be sure to take my camera along with me so I can show you the area where I live. Have a wonderful day and please take the time to smell the flowers and than God for the beauty we all have right around us in our HOME TOWN............Sharon K
