I've been given a blog award by Wendy. I started this blog to keep in touch with family and friends and I'm always amazed at all the new people I meet who actually like my blog! Anyway, thank you to Wendy. :-)
Congratulations, Terri on your blog award. It does not surprise me though because your blog is always so interesting to read and so diversified. Every post has something of interest for someone. You are a very talented girl. I don't say this because I'm your mother but because you truly are amazing in the talent that you possess. Secondly, you are always doing for others!! The Lord Bless you, Terri!
Good morning! It's been almost a year since I've done a blog give away so I thought that today would be a good day to go ahead and offer that. I love writing and blogging and I so appreciate my blog readers. I've gotten to know many of you throughout the years and I want to show my appreciation by giving you the chance to win! All you have to do is comment on this post to enter. I will draw a name on Friday after 9 p.m. and announce the name on Saturday morning. I will be putting together a "surprise" package full of handmade items. If you have trouble posting here, you can email me at terri.groh@aol.com or leave a message on my Facebook post (will be linking there too). Have a great day!
On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities. The timing was right since h...
We are on vacation for the next few weeks and have been trying to do a few different things than our normal hiking trips. We love to hike and will still incorporate that into the weeks, but also wanted to do a few fun things that make it actually feel like vacation. We started the week by driving 2 1/2 hours to go to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Now to be honest, I actually thought I wouldn't enjoy this as much as the guys did. I was wrong. This was 6 floors of exhibits, music, and memories from my growing up years. I loved every minute of this place and it was well worth the money. Dan and Stephen loved "The Garage" which was a floor dedicated to instruments and being able to play them all. They had a studio where you could play with a live band and they jumped right in to play. Of course, they have both played for years so did great. It was so fun! On Tuesday, Dan and I went hiking on a local trail and did a 6 mile hike on a very hot and humid day. I love that there ...
