Happy Birthday

Jesus!!

"You know Mom....he isn't a baby anymore"............

Just back from church with some good friends and family dinner out. At dinner a famous opera star sang to Sarah. She got a little shy......was a beautiful evening.

Merry Christmas!!

Who?

Sarah Who!!!

JOY!!

Sarah always reminds me to be in the moment and joyful!!!

(Quick Disneyland trip today!)

San Diego Snow Day!!!

Growing up in Idaho I always loved those winter mornings when my dad would come in my room and say "no school today....snow day". It was great to have the entire (unexpected) day to be spontaneous. Today was like that .....my girlfriend called ....Sarah just got out of school....nothing was planned so........let's have a quick beach day. 2 hours of 80 degree beach time in December. I love it when days work out like today.... spontaneous..... fun day!!

Hope you had a good day too!!

Yup.....

That is me Thanksgiving weekend in Rocky Point Mexico (with my mom and sister). I always wondered if those wave machine sounded like the real beach .....and they do .....but this was

much better!!!!

Car Talk

When I was trying to get pregnant I would dream about driving around with my daughter in the car. Now I have 4 1/2 years of enjoying my car time with Sarah.....singing Taylor Swift at the top of our lungs, discussing how far heaven is or playing eye spy.....

it is one of the joys of my life.

Ahhhh come on...........

Ahhhhhhh come on ........

3 years in a row going dark in November

would be too much to handle!!

Staying blonde...with a little dark mixed in.....thanks Mary!!

Now....that is enough about me and hair drama......

much more important things in the world going on.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Finally!!!

(Grandma Herma's 95 Birthday ...on our adventure this past summer..Sequim WA)

Yesterday, I got to meet one of my favorite fellas....Dennis Prager. He was in town doing his live radio broadcast and a special lunch. The minute I heard he was coming I bought tickets to the lunch and FINALLY got to meet him . I have been listening to his Happiness Hour for almost 7 years now. ......and it has really changed my outlook on life.

Today, I FINALLY got my golf clubs out again. I met a new friend that has been saying the same thing....."I really want to golf again" .......so we are FINALLY making it happen!!

Hope you all are finding things that you want to do and DO IT!!

Which brings me to sad news......the sweet 95 year old woman, Grandma Herma, that we got to berry pick with this summer passed way. She will be missed by so many......her last words to me when I asked her what it was like to be 95 were..."don't hang around boring people that don't want to do things.....keep your mind and body active" I thought that was good advice. Thanks Grandma Herma for letting us spend some time with you.....and thanks Anne for sharing her with us......rest in peace.

Side note: If you haven't been to Brave Girls Club yet.....this is a good one!

Should I?

Go dark................................. again?

Oh Man!! I do this EVERY year......something about November makes me want to cut my hair and go dark.....very dark. I haven't yet......but I have appt on Friday!

I hate to have a post all about my hair but ......but good hair helps in the happiness department.

They both come to visit

The "NICE" witch........she basically lives here

but whew.......that "Not so Nice" witch visits

once in the while and can be a bugger.

Hope you had a nice Halloween!! ............Now bring on the Turkey!!

One of these days I am

going to be a FARMER....

or Dancer.....or singer.......or soccer player.......teacher......doggy daycare owner

or

maybe all of the above.

Ahhhh to be 4.
