Pregnant Cousins

Jennifer & Kim are expecting the first of Feburary. Who's the biggest of all? Time will tell. I put my ear to Kim's tummy last night and felt my grand daughter kick! She can't wait to arrive so I can snuggle with her.

Happy Tenth Birthday Logan!

Logan blowing out ten candles while all his cousins and family watch! No more single digits for you, you've entered the big world of double digit numbers...you go Logan. I gave Logan "Spore" computer game and he played it all day long!!! Glad you enjoyed your day!

Maroon 5 & Counting Crows Concert

I've been counting the days since purchasing tickets to see Maroon 5 and it finally arrived Thursday evening. Arriving early, Kerri and I took our seats a fourth of the way back from the stage. The evening was slightly cool as the music wafted through the air warming my heart. The lead singer had the audience wave our lit cell phones in the air; what a cool sight! The light illuminated the dark evening casting a soft glow over the crowd. What fun! As though we couldn't get enough music, we played Maroon 5's latest CD on the way home, raising our voices to pay homage to a delightful evening.

Girlfriends having fun

Colleen and I jumped on Amtrak to visit our dear friend Patty in Fresno. Spent three days chatting, eating, walking, eating, shopping, eating, movies, and eating. What fun!!! Girlfriends are a precious part of life. What's next girls?

Little Treasures

"The most beautiful thing under the sun is being under the sun." -Jane Ann

"Happiness does not consist in things themselves but in the relish we have of them..."

Create a vivid, positive vision for your future, see it, say it, meditate on it, write it down, flash on it at every red light. When you catch yourself thinking you're too old, too poor, too weak, or too needy to make a change, laugh in your own face.

"Caretake this moment. Immerse yourself in its particulars. Respond to this person, this challenge, this deed. Quit the evasions. Stop giving yourself needless trouble. It is time to really live; to fully inhabit the situation you happen to be in now." -Epictetus

I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become--as a woman thinks, so is she. If we absorb hour upon hour of images and messages that don't reflect our magnificence, it's no wonder we walk around feeling drained of our life force.
"To thine own self be true!"

Make your dreams come true...

Flash....Kim is expecting a BABY the first of February
and we are having a GIRL! My first grandaughter (I have four grandsons)...I am so excited I can hardly wait for her arrival. Guess the warning worked! I told my kids the next child is getting lace regardless of the sex. Ha ha...Yes, we are having a beautiful, sweet baby girl! I'm looking forward to holding her in my arms and whispering, "I've been waiting a very long time for your arrival," while kissing her gently on the cheek. Thanks Kim, dreams do come true. I'm grinning from ear to ear!
