"Gods very own art show"

Last Saturday Bob and I spent the day with our friends Richard and Reta. We walked the trails at Madeline Bertrand park then headed to St.Joe where the Krasel art show was going on.
We get to St. Joe around 5;30 and Me being the foody I am decided we should eat then walk the art show, so that was the plan. As we are sitting in the restaurant eating I could see some of the artists tents set up. Now keep in mind it is still early in the evening and it doesn't even get dark until 10:00pm, so as I am looking out I am in disbelieve as I watch the vendors close up the tents. Ummmmmm, bummer you could say. So the plans suddenly change and we are going to walk along the Pier after dinner. Well as Reta and I are snapping pictures she stops and says " God is putting on his own art show" my heart smiled, I thanked God for her words and enjoyed the rest of the show.

I gotta day off, I gotta day off

I had the day off today.......sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!! I slept til 6:40 am, went to tan then came home and got on the norditrack for 20 minutes, oh my gosh, I thought I was gonna puke, I don't quite get it, I go for 45 minutes on the elliptical at the gym and I don't feel like I did this morning, oh well, whatcha gonna do? Then I met my dear friend Dixie for lunch, went to old navy then Wal-marts and back home. I was feeling the love so I ironed 7 shirts for Bob. You see I refuse to iron t-shirts, but ya know the music was on the windows were open and the birds were singing,
side note: ( " a bird does not sing because he wants an answer but because he has a song" how awesome is that! ) so ironing it was , oh is he gonna love me :).
I think I may go wash my car and then we are meeting our good friends Richard and Reta for dinner tonight. We have not seen them for 2 weeks cuz they have been on vacation so I am so stoked to see my friends. So for me, it has been a great day off. Thanks Mel.

He's Back

But only for a week. It's been 2 months since Josh left for Florida, we just picked him up at the airport this afternoon, its great to see him, he looks good. he is enjoying school and doing well. Probably won't see much of him this week as he will be hanging with friends. He has already left to go to a friends house for a couple of hours, he will be back soon though, we are meeting Adam and Meg tonight for dinner, looking forward to all of us hanging out.

Ahhhhhhhh the smells of spring

It's Monday May 21st, I just got home from work and I am beat so I sat down to chill out for a few minutes before I start dinner, work on laundry and all the other stuff that goes with keeping house. It is so delightful outside so I opened my windows to let some of the wonderful fresh spring air in. There is such a wonderful fragrance coming in from the lilac shrubs in front of our dining room window that I just wanted to share with everyone and hope that you will also take a moment to look
( and a sniff) around and enjoy the gift of God's amazing creation.

April 27th, 2007 A day to celebrate

Josh left for college this morning. He is off to Full Sail college in Winter Park Florida. He came to work to say goodbye around 10:30am this morning, I held up until I went back to my desk and my hallway buddies asked me how I was doing with his departure. I started to say "I am fine, just don't talk to me" and, well..... the flood gates opened and the meltdowns began. Although I am so excited for Josh and his new adventure in life, I am still a mom and it was tough watching him drive away. I pray Josh pursues this with desire and passion to learn and excel in the talents God has gifted him with. So I celebrate this day with Josh, a new beginning, his dreams, his heart, his life, his future.

My Mom turns 76 this Saturday April 7th

My Mom turns 76 this Saturday. I love her, she is a great Mom and I am glad she's mine. She is an inspiration to me, her Mom died when she was only 14 years old, so she became the Mom, she did the laundry the cooking and took care of her younger brother Tony. She then met my Dad, they had 5 kids ( I'm the baby ) and she cared for all of us, she took care of Dad when he had a heart attach before I was even thought of, and then again when he was 59. Dad did not survive long after the last heart attach. Mom herself has a heart condition, only 40% of her heart actually works, she has suffered a heartache herself. She has had 2 corneal transplant in the same eye (yuck) and a knee replacement. Her younger brother Tony never married and is severely crippled with arthritis. Shortly after Dad died both Mom and Uncle Tony sold their homes and moved in together. Once again with all her psychical conditions Mom is caring for uncle Tony. Bottom line, she is a nurturer, a blessing, a inspiration and a gift from God.
Happy Birthday Ter-Ter, you are loved.
