My Sunday Snapshot was taken during my ‘Happy Birthday Party to Me’ party. This year I turned 60 and celebrating 20 years cancer free (with God’s grace)! What I find amusing, this is not my first post about toilet paper. You can see the first post about TP here.
The image above was placed onto each table as the center piece. I have included the center piece in the image below.
Toilet Paper Cake!
The main table center piece was made with many rolls of toilet paper 🙂 My folks contributed the items added to this cake from their own medicine cabinet! Mom thought it was funny when I asked her to contribute to the cake decorations.
No gifts were requested. What I did request was a selfie with each of my guests. There were many, here are some of the guests I knew wouldn’t mind me sharing.
I am so grateful and blessed to celebrate my 60 years and that my folks are with me to do so. This was definitely a milestone I will cherish forever. My family and friends made me feel very special.
Thank you for joining in on my celebration!
Have a wonderful week.
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 13! It was a beautiful day. During my lunch break I took a stroll outside. I had seen the cows lined up at the fence row, grabbed an apple to see if I could get one to take it from my hand.
As I got closer to them, the cows backed away from the fence. Do you recognize the brown/red cow? This is the one that first came up to me in the post from Calves Part 2 Notice how much bigger he is?.
He was interested. I just couldn’t get him to take it.
Have a wonderful week!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, I’m so excited for this wonderful time with my daughter and grand daughter. We had planned to meeting up at my folks house today. Beautiful day outside. Erika brought some sidewalk chalk. It just happened that I was able to mark off #9 from my 101 in 1001 goal list.
Erika had Brynlee lay on the driveway and she drew around her, making an outline.Making an outline of Brynlee.
Brynlee then drew my shadow’s outline. The image of me standing with arms up and out with the shadow, Brnlee took the picture. After drawing other art, I had Brnlee stand where I was standing with her shadow over my shadow’s outline. Couldn’t get her to understand the sun shifted. 🙂
The two horizontal images, Brynlee wanted us to draw rabbits. Top right, Erika’s art, bottom left mine is the face outline and Brynlee’s is above the flowers.
Hi, we are gearing up on getting the yard in shape for our summer activities. April already here and the mowing and dandelion season has already begun!
1. April Fools. Seeing many posts of people showing pretty flowers blooming. And when I walk out of my door, this is what I see blooming.
April Fool’s on me!
2. Work computer was down yesterday. Made today very busy. My head hurt at the end of my shift.
3. I sure enjoy my ‘ice cream’ aka frozen strawberries and banana smoothie! My ice cream!!
4. Movie night with Adam. For dinner, Casey’s pizza, best pizza! Movie, Deepwater Horizon with Mark Walburg and Kurt Russell. Much better than last Thursday’s choice.
5. Finally Friday, virtual walk with Linda.
6. Saturday, Weight Watcher meeting, Adam errands and grocery shopping.
7. My grand daughter had gotten a phone on her birthday this year. I got a text today with this picture!
My grand daughter’s selfie!
8. Monday, always busy. Call volume the highest in the week. Virtual walk with Linda (on our treadmills).
9. Rough day taking calls. Virtual walk with Linda (on our treadmills).
10. Spent the evening with Adam, our movie and dinner night. The movie tonight, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Could be a bit frightening for little children but not like the other movies Adam has selected!
11. Kevin fried a few mushrooms he found just a couple days ago. Every spring I look forward to having these!
12. It’s Friday! I look forward to the weekends. Tomorrow, going to the Tulip Festival!
13. Wamego, KS Tulip Festival! Very fun day spent with a friend, Linda. The weather was perfect!
14. Happy 36th birthday to my daughter! Kevin and I met her at the Waffle House for breakfast. Happy birthday, Erika!
15. Last week, I was drinking hot chocolate. Our inside house temperature was at 62. This weekend the outside weather reached 80 degrees and then some. Kevin turned on the AC. We removed the pool cover. It’s time to start cleaning the pool and patio!
16. Enjoy the virtual walks with Linda.
17. Movie and Dinner night with Adam. Goulash for dinner. Real simple and plain recipe, hamburger (2lbs), I can tomato juice and 2 cups of elbow macaroni. Browned the hamburger then in a pot added all ingredients. Heated the goulash until the noodles were cooked. Done. Very good on a cold, rainy evening! The movie was the third in line, War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
18. Cold continues. Much needed rain. Lots of calls at work.
19. It’s Friday. My favorite part of the weekend is Friday at 5:30pm. My work shift has ended and the weekend has officially started!
20. Slept in. Horrible night sleeping. Did not go to my weekly Weight Watchers meeting. Stayed home. Ordered my groceries thru the Walmart app to pick up tomorrow.
21. Met Erika and the girls at my folks house. Had Casey’s breakfast pizza. Adam came by too!
22. Kevin always finds things to do on the farm. He will go to the back forty or across the road. I had a question for him and tried calling him. His phone was in the house on the charger. So I reverted to calling his name really loud, Ke-vin, here Kevin, come, along with a whistle. Not just one time, but several times repeatedly! 🙂 I thought it was funny. After several minutes, I heard him come into the house. His words, “So, you think you’re funny”. Looking into his eyes, “I thought it was darn funny!”
23. Experienced FaceTime issues. Not sure what caused the disruption. Ended up having to uninstall the app. Re-installed FaceTime and all was good. However, all this occurred during the time I was to virtual walk with Linda.
24. Good day. had hot chocolate. Was able to virtual walk with Linda, FaceTime now working.
25. Felt like Friday. Long day.
26. Dinner and movie night with Adam and a bonus. We went to Erika’s home for movie. Dinner was Golden Corral. The movie, Murder Mystery 2.
27. Spent the night with the kids. Saturday Shaune and Adam worked on taking out the bathtub from the grand girls bathroom. They got it out and even set in the new. Still need to work on the sheet rock. The hardest part is done.
28. When I left Erika and Shaune’s house, Shaune had the tub in place. He said the back part for the shower should be easier. The difficult part will be cutting the piece where the shower pipe will need to go thru the backing. I will be excited to see the remodel next weekend. And then after Erika has done her redecorating!
29. I had an exciting day. Adam called me this morning after he got off work. He had been in a bike wreck. Adam drives a Honda Grom. It’s bigger than a moped but not as big as a motorcycle. My heart sank. I live about 25 miles north of where Adam lives. I made it to town and Adam is okay. There was minimal damage, repairable. All is good.
30. Been in the process of opening the pool. Well, it’s official. Our pool will need attention. This summer we will need to limp it along. We have a drain that has a crack. It’s on the return side back to the pump. Kevin was concerned. He got one of those camera scopes to view the pipes. But the positive, Kevin said when he fixes the drain, we can replace the liner. Something I was excited to hear! 🙂 Pool in need of loving care. It will be necessary to drain all the water out before repairs can be made. This is the reason for trying to make the pool last thru the summer.
Hi, I am so excited. Two of my 101 in 1001 I can mark completed, #21 and #44.
#21 Drive to Wamego for the Tulip Festival.
101 in 1001 #21
Saturday, April 13, 2024 after my Weight Watchers meeting I met up with Linda and we drove to the tulip festival.
On our way to the Wamego Tulip Festival!
Meeting people is fun. While visiting Wamego, Jim was the person who greeted us as we went into the ‘Old Town’ area. He was in front of the communication building featuring the telephones. To see images of the antique telephones and other festival images, click here.
Ten years ago, there were just a few vendors, mainly informational. This year it was packed, vendors, food vendors and visitors! The main entrance took you thru the food court. Many different foods to pick. We arrived right at lunch time. For lunch we went to the tent where the Knights of Columbus grilled hamburgers, right side in picture. And on the way out we went to the Stumpy’s Smoked Cheese food truck on the left in the image. Oh my, the Mac and Cheese with bacon was delicious!
Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 10! The hot chocolate was my best friend the entire weekend. Friday and Saturday was cloudy and cold. Friday evening after going to bed my feet never did warm up. My husband is a heater and even laying next to him I could not warm up. The hot chocolate was a warm welcome!
Have a wonderful week!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
