Hi! I’m Michaela. A mom, wife, grammy, sister, friend who’s getting very close to the big 50! Am wondering how I got here so fast, and basically ‘laughing through my tears’ at the surprises that mother nature is throwing my way. In fact, some of it has me just down right shocked!
I love, love, love…being a mom, antiques, history, flea markets & junkin, Jesus, the lake, and Coke…not particularly in that order, and just a few of the things that make my day! Just this fall, my Big Boy and I have moved from the KS prairies to the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania. And that’s not all, we’re living in our 5th wheel! In my lifetime I’ve been blessed to have a few great women who have been there to encourage, listen, laugh and pray. Next to Jesus, they are my rock, my lifeline, my air when I needed to breathe. I would like to be that for you (well, maybe not your air…but you get the gist!) So join me, come visit when you get a chance. We’ve got things to talk about!!

I LOVE reading your thoughts…Keep them coming. I find myself laughing out loud alot of the time.
Your friend Carol
Well, you know me, Michaela – I’ve had your letter for 3 weeks and finally typed in this address:) WOW, what an awesome idea, and a great way to keep up with your life. I am looking forward to reading more and more, but just want you to know that I love love love you and I miss you, and your blog is incredible!
I’m notifying my favorite bloggers one by one, since I couldn’t figure out how to get links to work (I’m technically challenged) – You’ve been nominated by me for the Versatile Blogger Award. If you want to take advantage of this dubious honor… Write a post that mentions notquiteold as your nominator, nominate 15 other posts (a lot I know) and tell your readers seven things about yourself that they may not know. Congrats, and I love your blog.
Wow, thanks for the nomination! (There’s a feel good moment) But hate to say, I don’t follow 15 blogs. I do good to keep up with the Real Housewives, the Kardashians, and now X Factor!) And 7 things about me no one knows….well, I think I’ve already spilled it all blogging. Thanks so much for reading. And I’ll add you to my blogroll, because now I’m reading yours!
Thanks for the lead to picnik.com. I got the BEST result – just what I wanted and it took TWO MINUTES. THANKS!
Sometimes when i get done with http://www.picnik.com I look so darn good I feel guilty! LOL
You are a blessing to me!! I have nominated you for the One Lovely Blog award….
