It's Only Rock-n-Roll

     Marc and I have an upstairs bonus room in our house. It has a little cubby hole area we didn't think was going to be very useful, because it's small. We finally came up with a solution.
Since we needed a place to put our jukebox, we thought we should work with the music idea. We started to compile a list of our favorite bands/albums from when we were teenagers. This was an interesting task because we didn't really have the same taste in music. Then we had to decide which ones were "wall worthy" because we were going to hunt down these albums, frame them and hang them on the wall.
     We've had so much fun with this project! Marc and I didn't know each other when we were teenagers and lived in different parts of the country. We've had a great time sharing the memories that are tied to all these albums. We haven't found all of our favorites yet, so some of the ones that are hanging are just placeholders...so the walls look finished. At some point we'll probably hang some curtains and add some fun carpet, but for now we're just doing the fun stuff.




     What do you think? Bring back any teenage memories?

What a Difference a Day Makes

     Over the last week I've been enjoying all the blog posts showing spring flowers, and patiently waiting for mine to start blooming. Yesterday it was a sunny 79 degrees here in Oklahoma, and a few of my tulips opened up. I was so excited I grabbed my phone and took a picture...

     What a difference a day makes! Today it's 30 degrees and we're getting freezing rain. My delicate tulips are frozen to the ground.
 
     Here in Oklahoma we have severe and sudden weather changes, but this is a little ridiculous. Come on, Mr. Sun!!! I sure do appreciate all of you who are posting pictures of spring flowers!
