tiny dancer and baby snuggles

Happy Sunday friends! 

Friday evening was our sweet granddaughter, Rixci's dance recital. 

She loves being on stage.

A very fun evening, so blessed we could be there.

So much life has happened.

Hello! It has been over 2 years since my last post.  I have been thinking of blogging again for months. 

A lot has happened in the past couple of years. Our lives have changed so much.  I plan on updating here, documenting all that has happened. Hopefully I will be consistent and keep blogging. 

I'd love to catch up with old blogging friends and meet new friends.

OK, you say, what? You are going to start blogging again?

Well...

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream..." C.S. Lewis

I have a lot to do here, so please be patient and keep an eye out for my next post!

mother, daughter & friend time

Yesterday Kelly and I did some wedding shopping, went to the florist and confirmed the flower order and enjoyed  a nice dinner out at Applebees.  We had a nice mother and daughter time talking wedding details! This is an exciting time, I feel very blessed to be the mother of the bride, a beautiful (inside and out) bride.

This evening my dear friend Cindy took me to a few places I have never been.  We had a great time catching up with each other.

 First stop.. So Sweet Lebanese & French Pastries 

Cindy had an order to pick up, so I took advantage of tasting some yummy samples!

Next was an early dinner at  Mama Lascola's Italian Kitchen

I had a very delicious salad and the presentation was gorgeous! I know, I should have taken a pic!

After dinner we popped in at a bookstore, People Called Women.  Very interesting book shop, and they sell other locally made merchandise. I bought a book, 'Just A Daughter' by Sarita Skagnes.   I am trying to get a stash of books together for my time after surgery.  I don't think I can wait to read this one.

be blessed...always

Almost October!

Very shortly, September will be over. My goodness, this month sure did fly by!!

September had many wonderful times, along with sadness, but I choose to

count it all Joy and be thankful.

Opening a gift from my dear friend, Mare.

She lives in California so Dan took pics to show her.

 I love this figurine and I think of JOY when I see it.

I have much to be thankful for. 

Thank you Mare...looking forward to seeing you soon.

Gorgeous flowers & card from Dan

Love the card from Kelly..she also got some cute clothes..sorry no pic.

My Mom baked me a raspberry pie..my all time favorite.

Of course Grandma's recipe!

more bd goodies from Dad & Mom

I received many messages, lovely cards and precious phone calls from my sons. 

I am blessed with so many loving friends and family.

I was so happy that my youngest son, Chris came to visit this past week, spent a couple days with us.  He took Dan & I out for lunch at Biaggis for my bd.  Delicious!!!

I had to go to the doctor yesterday. My knees have been painful for a while, but have gotten alot worse recently to the point where I don't have full motion, especially in the right knee and I can't put all my weight on my right knee. Xrays showed that the osteoarthritis has worsened..I have an appointment with the orthopedic doctor on Oct. 6. I am trusting the Lord!

Happy weekend everyone & happy October!

~much love~
