hi, i’m marcie

A few things about me…..

I have many blessings including:

a loving and supportive husband (even, though, he’s not always thrilled about being on the other end of a 100lb. piece of concrete), who works hard, is honorable, laughs at the silly things I tell him, and has held my hand for more years than I can count.
three great kids who still think we have some common sense left and have added 3 children-in-law who are all special in their own way.
an extended family (including 3 brothers and their wonderful families) and dear friends who have touched our lives through the years.
and one of the greatest blessings on this earth is my 5 beautiful grandkids and 3 additional stepgrandkids. There are none cuter, sweeter, or more precious and we are honored to be their "Mops and Pops".

I love:

my Lord and Savior,
the quietness when snow is falling.
my red Ford pick-up (hauls our treasures).
lilacs, peonies, hydrangea, and tulips.
the fabulous sunsets in Rangely, Colo.
rocking babies.
chocolate.
gardening (although, I wimp out in the Texas heat).
my friend who puts up with my quirky ideas ( and actually sets out to find the stuff I put her in search of to finish off a room we are working on.
the smell of bread baking, antique roses, and mulled cider with cinnamon and oranges.
candlelight and lamps with low light ( it’s so homey).
the inspiration I receive from the many talented and creative friends I have in this business.

I am thankful:

that I live in the greatest country on earth,
for digital cameras (they make our job so much easier).
for my daughter’s banana pudding (yummy).
for the men, women, and their families who sacrifice so much to keep us safe.
for my "grand" wiener dog who took care of the mole problem in our yard
that my son is a good pilot (he rarely flies straight and level in his Pitts biplane).
for our president who has served with honor, dignity, and conviction.
for chocolate (oops, did I mention that somewhere?)

A few of my favorites are:

hardware and kitchen stores (like if you had all that stuff you’d really use it).
chicken and homemade noodles (thanks for the recipe Momo)
the bible, Louis L’amour books,biographies, and historical fiction.
blue heelers, arabian horses, (they are just pretty) and green parakeets (although, I don’t have any of them)
apple and pear green
the movie Ishtar (I know, but our family can sing most the songs and we crack up talking about it).
the song "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning" by Alan Jackson (I cried the first time I heard it—it touched so many emotions we felt on that awful and sad day.

I hate:

I am amazed:
