Hey Ya'll

Trip for Two

2009-02-05T22:07:00.000-08:00

Last Sabbath Bob and I got up and got ready for Sabbath School & Church. In the car on the way Bob suggested that we go to Sabbath School then come home for an early lunch and then drive over to the Marin Headlands to my favorite spot and just enjoy the nature and the view.
So that is what we did. The day was a little hazy but not too bad. This is a view of the Golden Gate bridge looking back at it after we crossed over it.

Here is a shot of the marina by the old military base park with Alcatraz in the distance with the Treasure Island and the Bay Bridge barely visible in the background.

Close-up of Alcatraz and lots of sail boats sailing in the bay.

Here is an old military base that has been turned into a park for the public. In the background is Angel Island. There is a ferry to the island. You can only ride bicycles on the island unless you live there, then you can drive your car.. so there is very little traffic.

This blimp was new. You can tour the San Francisco Bay area now on a blimp. Just call the number on the side. Looks like that would be fun.

Up atop the Marin Headlands. We hiked up to the top of the hill and there are benches up there to sit on and watch the sights from way up high above the bridge and the city. I just love it up there. Here is freighter going out of the bay under the bridge with San Francisco in the background.

A close-up of the old fort underneath the south end of the bridge. We didn't go there this time but we have been many times. It is a memorial museum 4 stories tall and free to the public. There are normally people in uniform performing different activities to give you a feel for what it would have been like to be stationed there. It is always cold and windy on the top level.

This is a freighter ship on it's way out into the ocean with the west side of San Francisco in the background. Most of the area there is housing.

Bob sitting on the bench eating his tootsie-pop we took with us and talking to Nate on the phone.

Here I am.

The freighter with the blimp high above and the bridge between with the city in the background. So much activity! It was getting late so we left to go back home.

On the way home Bob decided we should stop and eat at the Macaroni Grill.

These are the chefs doing the cooking. We were sitting next to them as we waited for our table. It was really interesting watching them do so many things.

This guy was making the pizza's and baking them in the brick oven behind him.

We had a good day and it was really special for both of us. We rarely get to go anywhere, just the two of us. So it was a special treat. Micah took care of Grandma for us at home. Thanks Micah!

Quilt Show

2009-01-28T00:06:00.000-08:00

Cathy and I went to a quilt show in Modesto on Sunday. I bought a couple of embroidery patterns:

I got this one with all these purses, watering cans, and planters, etc. I just thought they were all so cute and there are so many things I can think of to do with them. Aren't they adorable?

I can do something like this. This lady had the cutest booth. I just loved everything in it.

And an alphabet one..

Here's a close-up of it. They just made a cute wall hanging with it but there are so many uses.

I loved this picture too.. but didn't buy the pattern. I think I can do that easy enough, just by looking at this picture. I hope to make some things to decorate the house with. They would make good gifts too.. for some of my friends.

Well, there ya have it. I went to a quilt show and didn't take any pictures of any of the quilts. How ridiculous is that? I just took pictures of stuff I want to make. lol

Christmas 2008

2009-01-27T23:46:00.000-08:00

O.K. So I'm behind in my blogging. But I'm going to go ahead and post this anyway and try to do better in the future.

This was our fire place for Christmas. This picture was taken at night. We never did have a real fire.. but the candles made it look like we had a fire going and made it seem really cozy. All but one of the stockings were purchased in N.Y. when I was there a year ago visiting Cecelia.

Here is a picture of the fireplace during the daytime. The holes up on the wall above the fireplace are for the T.V. It's that big black thing in the lower right corner. We are going to have it mounted up there.

Will came home for Christmas. He was supposed to be here Christmas Eve but they canceled his flight. :( Thankfully, he made it on Christmas Day. : ) He was only home for 5 days but we were so happy to have him there to make our family complete. We had a great time together. Played lots of board games, ate, and visited together. It was great! But I didn't take any pictures. After everyone left I realized that fact. Oh well.. we had fun.

Thanksgiving at Joel & Sherry's

2009-01-07T06:00:00.000-08:00

This is my brother Joel and his wife Sherry. I took this picture of them in front of their home in Florida. We stayed with them through Thanksgiving.

They have always had a lovely home with many decorations to make the holidays special and this year was more beautiful than ever, it seemed to us. I was telling Cathy in CA how beautiful everything was and she wanted me to blog about it show it in pictures. So here it is.

The front of the house

A little closer to the front door.

The entry..

With a grand piano,

Entry table,

Christmas tree,

With a little saying about family being the best part of Christmas by the tree,

..and even decorations in all the corners and spaces everywhere. I didn't take pictures of everything.. because they are in all the bathrooms and little areas where pictures just do them justice but everything looks great.

The living room from the entry..

Fireplace,

From the dining room,

sideboard,

end table,

coffee table,

and really beautiful candle screen.

Looking out toward the pool and golf course from the living room.

An angel collection in Sherry's office.

The dinette area in the kitchen, complete with gas fireplace.

a different angle,

looking out the window while sitting at the dinette.

Joel on the golf course. Well..

Actually, he's in the dining room. This picture was painted by a famous artist in their area and it was in the home when they purchased it. They didn't realize until later that it was actually a canvas painting on the wall. They have talked to the artist about it since and he told them he painted it for the former owners. When Joel & Sherry remodeled the home, the original artist helped them to preserve the painting so they wouldn't ruin it and could keep it in the home. It's a beautiful picture and was painted to look like the golf course behind the home. I'm sorry I don't remember the artist's name.

The family room with a real, wood burning fireplace.

Comfortable furniture and good friends, Don,

Julie, and their daughter visiting with Grandma.

The coffee table in the family room.

The dining room table decorations.

The Cornucopia

Thanksgiving dinner..

Joel & Sherry and their daughter Autumn. Autumn's husband, Michael had to work during the week but they spent Thanksgiving together in Williamsburg, PA.

Here's a picture from L. to R. of Autumn and her dog Star, Will, Nate with Sherry's dog, Chablis, and Micah. We were all so happy to get to spend some time with Autumn that week before Thanksgiving, even though she had to leave the day before.

Mom with Joel & Sherry. She was so thankful to be there with them and to see all the family while we were there. That was the highlight of her life this past year. Sorry, I didn't get many family pictures.. but that's how I am I've noticed. I take pictures of things.. more than pictures of people.. and when people are around I'm visiting and don't seem to think about taking pictures unless someone else starts taking pictures. Oh well.. I have lots of happy memories in my mind. :)

A few days before Thanksgiving

2009-01-07T05:18:00.000-08:00

Sorry, these are sooooo late but I still want to post them. After the game we went back to Joel & Sherry's. Early in the week Sam, Judi, Bambi & Shawn came to see us. Sam was on call over Thanksgiving so they couldn't stay. Frank came to stay and visit with us for the whole week. We all went out to "Aqua Grill" for lunch and they had two really awesome tofu dishes on the menu that we ordered. The best tofu I've ever had! They were both delicious. Most of us ordered one and shared the other with someone else so we could have some of both. We also had their famous baskets of deep fried vegetables. The whole meal was wonderful as always.

The whole gang from left to right: Shawn, Bambi, Nate, Will, Sherry, Joel, Mom, Frank, Me, Bob, Autumn, Micah, and Bill. Bill is family and lives in Ponte Vedra Beach too.

The aquarium's at the restaurant were so nice and we sat between them, so we had fun watching the all the tropical fish.

Back at the house before Sam, Judi, Bambi & Shawn had to leave.
We got a picture with mom. Mom is holding Chablis, Sherry's dog.

All the cousins: from L to R, Autumn, Micah, Nate, Will, Bambi & Shawn

It was great to see all of them in a more relaxed environment than the wedding even though they weren't able to stay long.

The Jaguar Game

2008-11-26T20:07:00.001-08:00

Joel & Sherry (my brother and his wife) took us with them to a Jacksonville Jaguar game.
Before the game began, three military flew over. Later the pilots were on the field for us to meet.

When Grandma lived with them she went to the games all the time. In fact, she was at the very first Jaguar game. She was really excited to be going to another game. This game was against the Minnesota Vikings. We all had a great time even though the Jaguars didn't win. We enjoyed the pizza, nachos, pretzels, peanuts, and soda. Jackson de Ville made us laugh. Being there... it's like a big party with lots of fun things going on that you don't see on T.V.

THANK - YOU Joel & Sherry!!!

The Wedding

2008-11-26T07:31:00.001-08:00

The groom, Shawn, and the guys, ready for the procession to start, while the drummers play very unusual and lovely sounding music.

The judge. This is his property. Most of the people Bambi and Shawn know hung out on the judges property since they were young. The judges kids grew up with them. He's a great guy.
He performed the ceremony. Here he is ready for the procession to start with the father of the groom ready to take pictures.

The bridesmaids.. On the left, Autumn, the brides cousin and my niece. The next bridesmaid is a friend of the bride. Then the 3rd from the left if Patty Ann, the brides cousin, and my niece.

The maid of honor with the ring bearer, Sasha. Sasha is Bambi's dog. Bambi is the bride.
The flower girl. She is Shawn's niece. When they asked her to be the flower girl it was around Halloween and she said, "I want to be a fairy". Bambi was fine with that and found these wings for her to wear, and some for Sasha too. :)
The bride has her parents walk her down the aisle together...

...and gives them both a hug.

The ceremony...

Our son Will reading a prayer poem.

The scripture reading by the grooms brother.

A poem by the brides cousin, my niece, Dawn.

The wedding cake... depicting a big bonfire.
..and the top. The tombstone says, Love Never Dies.

The drummer
The stage for the band. The band is Bambi's favorite band. They are all personal friends of both the bride and the groom.

The wedding party.

The other end of the wedding party. Somehow, I managed to cut one person off of the end in all my pictures. ::eyeroll::

Sweet little Sasha sitting under mommy's skirt...

...and standing up with her fairy wings.

The groom reveals the t-shirt under his wedding attire. I think you can read it.. but just in case, it says "GAME OVER".

Sasha in her mommy's arms.

Bambi's grandparents, Barbara and Eddie Johnson, and great uncle Herb & his wife.

Grandma Ferree sitting at a table waiting for a bowl of hot vegetarian chili with saltines and tortilla chips after the ceremony. The chili was so good and perfect for the weather. It warmed us up and we had hot chocolate to drink.

Getting the bonfire started. We found out later that they really wanted the fire burning during the ceremony but it wasn't. It was cold there. Thankfully it was sunny and clear, which kept things nice for the ceremony but shortly afterwards as the sun went down it got really cold. It was supposed to get down to 23 degrees that night and I never heard what it actually got down to but it was cold. The bride & groom, and lots of the younger set, including our boys camped out all night in tents that night.

Cutting the cake.. ready to machete the thing.. or so it looked like.

But then they decided to cut it into a nice slice.

Sitting around the campfire after eating dinner... roasting marshmallows and listening to the band.

Staring into the fire...

Grandma sitting by the fire nice and cozy warm. They had hand warmers for everyone that wanted them. They felt really good in our hands.

The bride's brother, Sammy and his girlfriend, Kristen.

Bambi and her mom, Judi...
...and her dad, Sam.

The band... "Fractal"

You can play this video to hear them play.

It was a really fun wedding in a beautiful place and we all had a great time!

Congratulations Bambi & Shawn!

Micah's 20th Birthday

2008-10-13T09:42:00.000-07:00

On Friday, Oct 10, Micah turned 20. Where have the years gone? This is Micah doing what he does most and loves most.. playing guitar. Here he is practicing his classical music for school.
He is a music major and seems to love it. He also works at Baskin Robbins to earn a little money. He is thankful for the job and likes getting paid but doesn't really like scooping ice cream all night. He almost always works till 10 p.m. and then has to clean up for about an hour so he gets home pretty late but he's a night owl and does fine with that.

On Friday a.m. Micah wanted me to make him some scrambled fried eggs with cheese, toast and o.j. for breakfast. So I got up and made it for him. He had that around 6:30 a.m. He has to leave for school at 7 a.m.

Nate decided not to work on Friday so he could come and celebrate with us and spend the day with Micah. Micah got home around noon and Nate got here about an hour later. Micah never works on Friday so that worked out well.

For their birthdays I let them choose their meal ahead of time and Micah chose turkey pot-pie. (vegetarian of course) He wanted to choose his dessert but I told him that is always a surprise. He complained that he wanted rhubarb pie. That he always has pie and that he didn't want cake or ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. I told him I wouldn't do that.. I knew that wouldn't be special since he works there and has ice cream from there all the time. Then I told him that Nate was bringing the dessert from Napa. Micah thought, Napa? What is he bringing something from some fancy place up in Napa? He was stumped. Well, I have to drive about a half an hour to get to Marie Calendars. Their pies are the best and they have their pies on sale every October for about $6.00 each no matter what kind of pie you buy. I had already worked it out with Nate to bring the pies since he has a Marie Calendars about 5 minutes from his place. The surprise lasted until Nate got there, which was fine because it was on Micah's birthday. When Nate arrived Micah helped him unload his car and there were the pies in the trunk. Micah was very happy to find that he was going to have his yummy pie and told me as soon as I got home. I had been out shopping. I just smiled and told him, "I know what you like."

Micah was really hungry and had skipped lunch to eat an early birthday dinner. Bob went to work early so he could be home by 5 p.m. for dinner, which is early for us. Anyway, that is why all the pictures have the food half eaten. I just got the pot pie out of the oven and Micah wanted to eat.. but the pot pie needed to set about 20 minutes. So, he decided we would eat our pie and ice cream first, which we did. We put candles on the pie and lit them and sang, "Happy Birthday" first, to Micah's chagrin.

This is the rhubarb pie with the candles already blown out and the pie half eaten. By the time I remembered the pictures we had already done all that.

We also bought a blueberry pie because one pie just didn't seem like enough.

Then we ate the turkey pot pie. Everyone enjoyed it and Mom said, "Micah made a good choice. I enjoyed every bite."

Next Micah opened his presents. He only wanted two things.. both expensive. He wanted a Playstation III game system or a HD TV. We got him the TV since the day before he told me he was so busy with school he really didn't think he'd have that much time to play games and he thought the Playstation III would come down in price if he waited a while. This one was on sale at Best Buy and part of the deal was a $25.00 gift certificate.

Nate told us Micah really wanted this game. He said it was old now and would probably be about $20.00. So we checked it out and sure enough the game was $20 so we bought that with the gift certificate. Micah was really happy with his gifts.

Will sent Micah a new game for his birthday present. It is Agricola.

It is really complicated and no one's game is the same. You are farmers and you are trying to breed animals, grow crops and increase your family and end up with the most points. There are lots of cards that change the rules for each individual and that is what makes it so complicated. But it was fun to play even if it was really challenging. I find that these games are so different every time you play them that it's never boring.. but always challenging and hard to remember everything. We played the game four times over the weekend and Micah won the first game, Bob won the second game, Nate won the third game, and Nate won the fourth game. Notice who didn't win. I haven't figured out the secret yet.. obviously. Here we are playing the game.

We really miss Will but he is way to far away to come home much. He was in our thoughts a lot and we talked to him on the phone while we were playing the game. It is always nice to have all the family together.

Micah had his friends Zach and Michael over and Nate joined them playing Rock Band.

All in all it was a fun weekend for everyone. We even watched some football. :)

Tea for Two

2008-10-09T22:43:00.001-07:00

Today Cathy and I went to lunch. She wanted to try a new place in town called Tea-Licious. Here is what it looks like on the outside:

The picture window:

Just inside the door: In front of the picture window

The scone table:
A close-up of the scones.. mmm.. they looked yummy!
The whole place was decorated so cute and each seating area was done differently. We just thought the whole place was adorable and the owner, who I should have photographed but didn't, was happy to know we were going to put our pictures on our blogs.
The table in the background has it's own little gazebo. The place looks barren but there were quite a few people there. I specifically tried not to take photographs of the people. I thought that would be rude. I was surprised how many men were there.

I had a cucumber, cream cheese, tomato, greens and red onion sandwich on multi-grain bread and a fresh fruit cup of apple, pear, and strawberries. We had peach herbal iced tea. It was all very good. We didn't have a scone but we just might have to go back sometime for one of those.

This is the party room. Cathy is thinking of having her birthday party here with her nearest and dearest. It sure was a cute room. They do children's parties too.

I got a picture of Cathy taking pictures.

A Nice Surprise

2008-10-09T21:55:00.000-07:00

Yesterday morning I got mom up a bit later than normal. I had been going through boxes and was just really busy. The door bell rang and it was the UPS guy with a package for mom. I went upstairs and got her and brought her down in her p.j.'s, since we weren't going anywhere. I didn't even take much time on her hair. We got ready for breakfast then I remembered the package and gave it to her to open. I decided to take pictures even though we hadn't primped for them.

We read the card together and found out it was from Cecelia! Mom was so excited and couldn't believe that Cecelia had remembered her for her birthday.. but she had.

Cecelia mentioned how much she liked sitting by the fireplace with mom when she had been her caregiver. Here is the ol' fireplace with a makeover.

Mom opened one of the gifts..

..and found some cute, cuddly and warm slippers, which she promptly put on and wore for the rest of the day.

Then she opened the other box, trying not to tear the beautiful wrapping paper, as she unwrapped it.

This is what she found inside:

The cutest little ceramic blue bird. She loved it so much she brought it close to her mouth and gave it a little kiss.

Isn't it just the cutest?

She was so happy all day.. with her little blue bird on the table by her chair and her new slippers and lovely thoughts of her wonderful friend.

THANK YOU CECELIA!!!

Salvaged Antiques

2008-10-09T21:42:00.000-07:00

Look at all the antique dishes, etc.. that they were able to salvage from my china cabinet!

Unfortunately the china cabinet was burned badly and the curved glass all broken.
But I am so happily surprised that all this turned out so well. A few of them don't look so great but most of them do! :)

Last Sunday

2008-10-05T20:40:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday our Women's Ministries Group from our church held a Fall Progressive Dinner. Our first stop was Cathy Murphy's home.

Each home had some fall decorations. Cathy had purchased some artificial mini pumpkins and acorns from Kohls. They looked really nice.

Beverly Brownell made the appetizers for us even though she was unable to attend. They were delicious. Mainly we just stood and mingled. I can't believe I didn't get pictures of all the people. I got to each place a little early with mom and took pictures before most of the others got there. There were over 40 women who attended the dinner.

The next home was Teena De Sousa's. She looks happy doesn't she? I think I would have been pulling my hair out. She was actually moving over the weekend and had to be out by Sunday. She only had two hours sleep the night before. She's a real trooper.

Her decorations were nice too.

We had pumpkin soup made by Lillian Li and a tossed salad and cabbage salad by Anna Smith. There are a few early birds in the pictures.

This is Anna sitting at a table with mom. Her daughter Melany is sitting next to Anna at the next table.

Next stop was Lillian Li's home. This is the wreath on her door.

Here she is getting the cranberry sauce out of the refrigerator. We basically had a Thanksgiving dinner with acorn squash made by Linda Hazly, corn, shepherd's pie made by Iris Cathey, Ocean Spray cranberry sauce & Worthington vegetarian smoked turkey that I made, a pasta salad made by Beverly Purcell, and some raspberry herbal iced tea. There was bread, butter, tea, and water on the tables.

They have a beautiful home and her decorations were really pretty.

Our last stop was Evelyn Choate's home for dessert.

There was pumpkin pie and apple pie from Costco and chocolate pound cake and chocolate fudge torte made my Susan Higgins. I didn't try the all but I'm sure they all were yummy! We had hot drinks.. but it was so hot that day I don't believe anyone had any. Hiloko Komaki had brought the tea and decorated little sugar cubes with royal icing. I wish I'd have gotten a picture of them. They were really cute. I was outside with my feet dangling in the pool. Evelyn loves to garden and most people were outside where it was a little cooler and it was a beautiful evening.. just about sundown.

I thought her decorations were the cutest! I guess I still love dolls. :)

The dinner started at 4:00 p.m. and ended at 8:00. We all had a great time visting and eating. We had four visitors and a couple of our new members and one of our old members who are trying to be vegetarian asked me for the recipe for the turkey. They want to make it for Thanksgiving. So, I have ordered a couple of cases of it and will have them over to show them how to make it. I also met some really nice people that are not members of our church but are friends of those that attended. Mom and I both had a great time but mom was ready for bed when we got home. She said we ate way too much. Each house seemed like a meal for her.

Quilting Class

2008-09-24T10:24:00.000-07:00

My friend Cathy asked if I'd like to take a quilting class with her. I have always wanted to learn to make quilts, so I am there. She has been before but I had never been. This is our classroom. It's at the local high school. As you can see there are quite a few women who attend. Most of them have been going for quite some time and they are good friends and everyone has a lot of fun talking about each others quilts and lots of other things to do with everyday life. They are a great group and it's always a pleasure being there.

This is Cathy. She is working on a quilt she started years ago while attending these classes.

Here are the quilt pieces she is making. Isn't it pretty? She says people come in there with beautiful fabrics and some come in with what she thinks are ugly ones. But in the end when all the pieces are put together.. the quilts are always beautiful! I am really excited to be here.

Here is my first square for my quilt. It's just a sample. It's far from perfect. It's the first one I made.. but I didn't have a pattern. I just made it myself, so it's a really off in places. I have made a more perfect pattern now and have just begun my first square for the quilt. We actually had a quilt on our bed with baskets like this but we lost it in the fire. I always loved that quilt so I'm trying to make one like it. Hopefully, it will turn out as nice as the one we had.

This lady has been using the "Long Arm" quilting machine for a couple of weeks now. Her name is Kathy/Cathy. I'm not sure how she spells it. We actually have several Kathy/Cathy's in our class. That just makes it more interesting. When your quilt squares are all done and sewn together, you put the batting in and spray some adhesive onto it to hold the layers together, then use the "Long Arm" to sew it together. You can always sew it by hand but the "Long Arm is so much easier and faster. You just kind of make your own swirly design. I don't know if you can see hers or not on the close up further down. Our teacher, Nikki, is on the left.

I really like this quilt. I think I will make one like it for my next quilt! Of course the one I'm working on now will probably take me years to make.. since I am just learning. But there are so many quilts I have seen there that I would love to make. But this one is definitely my favorite. The quilt was finished last night and here is the finished product, with a few close ups.

The petals are not sewn down so when you wash it, they ravel a little and curl a bit and it looks more 3D and shabby chic. I just think it's adorable! She is going to give this to her mother-in-law. She says she is worth every precious moment she has taken to make it. Isn't that awesome!?

Mom's 95th birthday

2008-09-21T18:18:00.000-07:00

Sabbath was moms birthday. She wanted to sleep till noon.. so we let her. Nate came from Napa to celebrate with us. Micah and Bob were here too, of course. When mom got up we ate lunch. I always cook whatever the birthday person wants.. so she chose the following: BBQ fry chick, Spaghetti loaf, and succotash. She seemed to enjoy every bite.

Then I surprised her with a birthday cake made with Swiss chocolate cake with French vanilla pudding and bananas in the center. It was frosted with cool whip and topped with fresh picked (on Friday) strawberries. We topped that off with her candles, lit them,
and sang "Happy Birthday" to her.

She blew out the candles.

..and cut the cake and ate it. It was yummy!

We wish you all could have been here

Just when we finished eating our cake, Sam & Judi called. They had perfect timing. We all sat around the table with the speaker phone on and had a nice long talk. I don't know how long.. but it had to be at least an hour. Mom was worried about them having to pay for it.

Then we went into the family room so Mom could sit in the recliner. We don't have any furniture yet.. except beds. The neighbor saw how uncomfortable mom was and loaned us a recliner. We are using our patio furniture. I didn't get any pictures of that for you. I'll have to do that another time. We did get some money for some furniture on Friday so we will be able to get something before too long. Hopefully, we can find something we like quickly.

I will post pictures of the house for you later as well. We don't have anything to put our clothes and stuff in, so the house is riddled with boxes.

Mom opened her cards and read them. She got one from Frank, Marilyn, & Skylar, one from Sam & Judi, and one from Tammy. Joel & Sherry and Autumn & Michael had given her a card when we were in Lake Tahoe. They also gave Mom a lovely Lake Tahoe throw and lovely blue sweater, which she loves and has used quite a bit already. Sam & Judi sent some money so we could go out to eat Strawberry waffles, (Mom's favorite breakfast). We had some today and we have enough money left over to have them a few more times.. or get something for her to wear.

Then she opened her gift from us. A pink sweatpants outfit. She will enjoy it soon. It is already turning cold for her. We think it's perfect weather.. but she is cold natured.

Mom took a nap as did some of the rest of us, and later Bambi called and wished mom a happy birthday. And later Frank & Marilyn called. I don't know when I've seen her so happy. She was happy to make it 95 and thanked the Lord first thing Sabbath morning. She was happy for Nate being home and repeated that a lot. She loved her meal and cake. And there is not much that makes her happier than talking to family on the phone. She had a wonderful day. She said so herself. Thanks to all of you for making her birthday so special! She went to bed really happy.

Here I Go Again

2008-08-02T21:11:00.000-07:00

It had been so long since I blogged anything that I had to start over. The blog site didn't recognize me anymore. So.. I'm going to try and make a fresh start and hopefully find some time to blog. I mean if Cecelia can find time.. surely I can.
