2025: Day 12…..”Elvis in Beale Street”


Sunday Funday included some delicious ribs 

and collard greens from

Beale Street Smokehouse in Fenton.

As good as the food was, the decor was

just as fun……especially 

the fun Elvis memorabilia wall.



Here's my Google Maps Review of it in 2024 in case
you might want to check it out for yourself.

2025: Day 11....."Peanut Cactus & Monkey Tail Cactus"


It took a long time for cactus plants to grow on me.
I mean not really grow ON me..grow with me.

 I LOVE this one.

It started so little in early 2024 but I didn't care.
I like to get to know a plant.

I purchased it at Willow Greenhouse
here in Michigan.

I was hoping it would curl and drape and it did!

I have it in my bedroom in an east window.

I've occasionally added a bit of cactus fertilizer.
(See pic below.)

It knows I love it.

You know plants really do know if you love them, right?
It is alive after all.





UPDATE: March 16, 2025
I got a new addition.
A Monkey Tail Cactus.
(Cleistocactus Colademononis)

It's much fatter than the Peanut Cactus
(in my hand)
with the new baby hanging on for dear life.

Hopefully the Monkey Tail will get more furry.

Both are trailing plants and I like that.

Stay tuned.

2025: Day 10....."Job Descriptions"

We ship out guitar centerpieces almost every week.
Sometimes just one.
Sometimes many.

Yes. Some assembly is required but 
we make it SO EASY to do!

Guitars are a staple around here and fit in well with
all the other themes we do.

We especially love the ones we put a unique logo on the body.

Sometimes we fill up the whole body of the guitar with the logo.
Sometimes the logo is simple yet elegantly only on the bottom.

We suggest a design and then change it up as requested.

These foamcore guitars are one of the most 
favorite things we do.

I'm the shipping department on this here ranch
so I appreciate how they stack
and fit in a shipping box so 
efficiently & economically.

Stacey is the "Maker-of-Stuff" and 
I'm the "Boxer-Upper".
Our official titles.  Ha Ha.

I'm also the "Let's Connect" person.
You get me if you call or email.

Stacey is also known as the 
"Grannie Baby Bouncer" in her 
spare time.
