Spent the Day Visiting the Cape May Lighthouse

Spent the Day Visiting the Cape May Lighthouse

September 2024 we took a vacation down to Cape May in New Jersey. One place that we wanted to visit was the Cape May Lighthouse and Park. When visiting, you want to plan at least 2 hours in your schedule. There’s plenty of free parking 

Mailbox Monday for January 2025

Mailbox Monday for January 2025

Mailbox MondayTime for our monthly MAILBOX MONDAY for January 2025. The first Monday of every month you’ll see our Mailbox Monday Meme. It will cover the previous month and we invite all of our readers to participate. If you’re a blogger, you can participate too by sharing our MEME on your blog.

Mailbox Monday is all about those FREE things you got in your mailbox last month. Freebies, Samples, Giveaway & Contest Prizes, Gifts, etc. What it doesn’t include….yucky bills that nobody wants! Here’s the goodies that arrived for our family last month.

Last month we got about 20 or so Christmas and holiday greeting cards in our mailbox. I love getting them and displaying them during the holiday season. A friend of mine sent me a Turtle themed melamine platter that she picked up at a Dollar Tree store on clearance (leftover from Summer) for a quarter.  That will come handy during the summertime when we’re grilling and hosting backyard parties.

Hubby won a $50 prepaid Visa GC from one giveaway and a $25 Fandango GC from another giveaway. Our granddaughter entered a giveaway and won a set of 3 beaded gemstone bracelets. Oh, I almost forgot…we won 3 packages of cat treats, a bag of catnip and 2 new cat toys for our boy Romeo. He loves getting new stuff too!

So…what kind of freebies, samples, giveaway prizes, gifts, etc. did you receive in your mailbox last month?

Happy New Year 2025

Happy New Year 2025

Happy New Year 2025Wow, can you believe that we made it through another year? 2024 seemed to drag out for this family. We had a few deaths in the family, several members had major surgeries and other things throughout the year that made 2024 a tough one. I’m happy to turn the page and move on to 2025.

Today we’ll be spending some time with family to enjoy a meal together (traditional pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes) and then we’ll enjoy playing a few games while watching a movie. We keep things pretty low-key on New Year’s Day. We’re all exhausted from the holidays and just need to relax.

We wish all of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and welcome to 2025. Do you have any big plans for this new year? Traveling? Home remodeling? Weddings? Retirement? Anything exciting going on in 2025 for you and your family? We hope 2025 is a happy and healthy NEW YEAR for all of you!!!
