Let pretend…for 5 minutes.

We got together with these beautiful young people yesterday to pretend for five minutes that they are still our babies. We have not got it right every year but we do sometimes try to do a cookie decorating party so yesterday we did just that. It makes you feel nostalgic for simpler days. They actually…

Happy Birthday Queenie Lanibeth

Today our old girl turned 76. She looks amazing for her age. She was so darn cute today and I know that she really enjoyed her little get together. We all missed the three kids who could not be there. We had some good laughs and it was so nice to spend time with my…

Back in the groove and yes I am still alive

So I finally have been in the mood to actually sit down and type this blog. In general, my mood is so much better and holding its own. I am on half my medication and since it was reduced I have been using CBD oil every night. I am wondering if that is making a…

Moving Mountains…Nope Moved by Mountains

Darn, I have not written in ages. So long that our vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyoming is now in the rearview mirror. Today is our 20th wedding anniversary. Twenty of the happiest years of my life. I am so lucky to have this wonderful man by my side. We just returned from an excellent 5-day…

1+1 is still 2 and other stuff

He’s leaving on a Jet Plane……again

Happy Birthday to our sassy smartass niece Georgie. We love you girl. How did these two magnificent young people get to be 19 so quickly? We went to the south bay today to celebrate with the family and to surprise the grown-up kids with an easter egg hunt…Yes, 19 and still wanting to find eggs….

The Sakura does not suck.

So as promised, I did go out and move my fat ass, and I went for that walk that I really needed. I only managed 3/4 of a mile, but it was better than nothing. I did see a few trees already covered in cherry blossoms. It is weird that they are blooming pretty early…

Happy Birthday 2567 miles away

Yeah Yeah Yeah! I know I am not supposed to look at “where is my iPhone” but Happy Birthday to my sweet boy. Behave and have fun. We love you very much. This is the first time we have been away from him on his birthday. I am sure he is fine but my heart…

Here we go again

So I found the photos that I had taken of the room after my mini office conversion. It is working out very nicely. The desk is perfect for my laptop and the new Cricut machine. I can also push the Cricut back under the shelf and remove my laptop if I want to sew. What…
