Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....
I
feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin
Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I
was....
I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....
As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

A NOTE ABOUT COMMENTS
I
enjoy reading your comments and will return the favor by visiting and
commenting on your blog or reply to you directly here if you do not have
a blog but I do have my comment section set to Moderation due to
spammers and hackers so your comment will not appear immediately...
And since I have a very busy life, like most of us do, it may take me awhile to return your comments but I promise I will....

In my last post, I shared my a Back Yard Update, showing what annuals I planted where and how my perennials are doing....
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
And now for a few Personal Notes...
For the New Year, I am trying something different with my 3 times weekly posts....
On THURSDAYS,
I will feature what I cooked and ate during the week, showcasing local
cuisine and a few recipes for things that I actually made...
I decided that on SATURDAYS, I will showcase What I Have Been Up To in the past week, sharing events and places I went to, if any....
On MONDAYS, I will be featuring What I Have Bought or Been Gifted Recently, if anything...
Being that it is MONDAY, what have I bought lately.....
Not much to share today....
I did get the other item that I ordered online from Walmart that I mentioned last Monday....
I recently saw this featured on Good Morning America's Deals and Steals so I thought I would try it as I usually spread all my papers with my name and address on them....
I LIKE it!!
They also sell refills for it...
And that's all I have to share for today's Haul....
HAPPY JUNE!!!!!
May was our coolest month since 2008 and I LOVED IT!!!!
I am not a lover of heat and humidity and actually dread the Summer months because I do not do well physically in the Summer because of my auto immune diseases and medication side effects that cause heat and Sun sensitivity...
So I am praying that June will also have below average temps. in the 70's and that the 80's and 90's stay away from NEPA!!
Last year, I joined a group of Bloggers who were setting Quarterly and Monthly Goals......
My Goals are more of a To Do List for each Season....

JUNE is going to be a quieter month as far as Social events and I really need to get the upstairs Sitting Room and Craft Room reorganized so that is my #1 priority....
I just hope June will not be unGodly hot as I do not have air conditioning in those 2 rooms...
Personal Goals
Today, on June 1st, I am once again embarking on my Wellness Journey....
This popped up on my FB Memory Feed this morning.....
"June 1, 2022 to June 1, 2023 Down 50 pounds! Where do I go from here? Hopefully,losing even more weight!"
Well, in the last 2 1/2 years since my husband Joe became ill and passed away from pancreatic cancer, I gained 18 of those pounds back....
Also in recent pictures, I noticed that I have also lost the muscle tone I had when I was walking and exercising every day....
SO........
I decided that I am going to try to lose 3-4 pounds a month but I am not going to pressure myself...
As my favorite You Tube personality Arlynn says " I have the rest of my life to lose the weight"...
I am also going to try to do some sort of exercises daily but I am not committing to specific routine yet...
I know I will feel better, both physically and mentally and have more energy....
I just want to be the healthiest version of me that I can be.....
So wish my luck!!
I hope and pray that June is a great month for everyone!!
And I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY for my next post....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
And try to find JOY in every single day! 
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
