Swinging at Grandma's house

 

Day 138 of 2026

Fireball and I have been married for fifty-one years.

We had a great day together planning some backyard projects, 

grocery shopping and having an anniversary dinner out. 

Exciting. I know. 

But we have fun hanging out together 

and find ourselves laughing a lot. 

Maybe that's the secret of 51 years -

 hang out together and laugh.

 

Day 110 of 2026

Look what I found in the mailbox. 

It's Fireball.

 

Day 95 of 2026

Coloring eggs was a fun time for both children and adults alike.

 

Day 53 of 2026

GB#5 asked me to play a game today. 

I said yes.

Right after you win, you are instructed

 to flip the spinner over to the mirror side 

and smile at that Pretty Pretty Princess. 

GB#5 followed instructions.

 

Day 19 of 2026

Indiana University wins the CFP National Championship! 

Cignetti smiles!

 

Day 3 of 2026

I did the Stitch Supply Co advent box again this year. 

This is the first opportunity I've had to share what was in it. 

This is the entire haul with the exception of the pillow case fabric 

which has already made it to my studio. 

It was fun again with some perennial favorites

 and lots of new, exciting items.

 

Day 282 of 2025

Our pumpkins are done. 

Mine is on the left, R's is in the middle 

and the one on the right was made by GB#3. 

I think they turned out super cute.

 

Day 280 of 2025

For my birthday Big D and R gave me an experience. 

Today R, GB#3 and I went to an art glass studio and took a class. 

What a fun time we all had. 

We each made a glass item. 

I can't wait to show you mine once it is able to come home.

 

Day 278 of 2025

4. ThunderCats

5. Captain America

 

Day 186 of 2025

Yesterday we gathered for a 4th of July celebration. 

The two spray bottles with battery operated fans, one of which is broken, 

that I had were a big hit with the children 

in these ridiculously hot temperatures. 

There is a lot of summer left.

Today we hit the jackpot. 

These should cover the children and possibly some adults 

who might crave a spritz of water and a little breeze

 in the effort to stay cool.

 

Day 141 of 2025

This really made me smile.

 

Day 55 of 2025

Old toys. 

We have lots more of these. 

They  are about 2 1/2" tall. 

They each came with their own sleeping bag. 

Do you know what they are? Did you have any? 

What is it?

 

Day 39 of 2025

Escalators. 

Always a good time.

 

Day 12 of 2025

T-bone and GB#5

Tonight was so much fun.

 by hitting the 1,000 spot.

Family pizza, paper crafts and game day.
