Their giddy laughter is motivating me to up-to-date their scrapbooks, so my grandkids can someday poke fun at how funny their parents looked and dressed growing up, too.  #tbt #whatgoesaroundcomesaround #webothfeltstylishatthetime

On this day 34 years ago, Doug asked me to marry h On this day 34 years ago, Doug asked me to marry him, and I said YES — one of the very best decisions I’ve ever made in my life.  I thought he was the absolute best back then, but he’s somehow managed to get better and better with every passing year. And the love, appreciation, and respect I feel for him continues to grow deeper, broader, and higher every day, as well.  #tbt #everydaywithyoudear #issweeterthanthedaybefore #happilyeverafter #thehoneymoonisstillnotover

For moistest and most flavorful roast you’ll ev For moistest and most flavorful roast  you’ll ever eat, brown both sides of the meat, then lay it in the bottom of a crockpot on a slice of onion to lift it off the surface. Sprinkle with 1 pkg Ranch mix and 1 pkg Au Jus Gravy mix, lay a stick of butter on top, and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Super easy and delicious!  I cook potatoes and carrots in the same pot and serve with dinner rolls and a salad. Yum!  #flandersfamilyeats
All aboard! I’m so glad I kept a good supply of All aboard!  I’m so glad I kept a good supply of the classic toys my kids used to love, even after they outgrew them, because now they’re delighting a whole new generation of grandkids.  Considering the fact our train sets had already been enjoyed by somebody else’s children when I bought them secondhand for my own little ones decades ago, I’d say they’ve served their purpose well (and are still going strong).  What kind of classic playthings will/did you keep for future generations to enjoy? Anything you got rid of and later wished you hadn’t?  #briotrains #atrainrunsacrossthistrack #redcabooseattheback #classictoys
