Today....

Today was the first nice day we have had in a long time. I think spring was skipped all together this year. I has been sooooo cold and windy out. So....Since today was a beautiful day, the grass was mowed. I was so excited to finally get the opportunity to cut the grass! Normally a normal person would think that was a chore and dread doing it! I love being out in my yard and cutting the grass is right up on my list of likes. My grass though,is full of weeds! I work all summer to get a healthy lawn and then winter hits...What a waste!!! This year I am not going to do it,I am just gonna water it and cut it....

Over the Memorial Day weekend we took a run to Copper Harbor for our first camping trip of the season. We had a blast. The weather cooperated as far as it not raining,but it sure was chilly! Steve and Suzette and her 3 boys were there,along with Leon and Kristy and her 2 boys and Jimmy. Then Chrystal and Michael joined us with their 2 kids. I sure had a good time and hated to pack up Sunday night. I could live in that camper!!! We took walks,rode our bikes...Chatted around the campfire and just enjoyed each others company....Can't wait to hit the road again......

Til then...Happy Summer!!!

So.....

Today I recieved an email from a friend. It was one of those that you send to a someone special and this will happen, or send it to someone special to let them know you are thinking this....Well,at that moment of me reading it, the word made me think of my dear friend Jan. Knowing she is gone, I sent it to her. I guess because I felt better knowing it was there in her email.....About a minute or so later I got an error saying the address was no longer avalible. That doesn't suprise me,because most people don't keep paying for something after a loved one is gone. So, why is it that I feel so sad? Tears are rolling down my cheeks and it feels so good to cry....

So.....

Happy Mothers Day....

Today we helped Steve and Suzette celebrate with Nicks mom. It was a nice time. I love to hang out and talk. They are very busy, we are very busy. So time with family is very rare. I like to hear about the different things their kids are doing. Its so sad to see how everyone is growing up. I guess not sad...but just hard to believe...Where has the time gone. So today even though it was snowing out it was a great day. Mom Judy didn't have to waiste her time in the kitchen cooking. We ordered pizza had sat and talked....And did awhole lot of laughing. A nice day to store in the memory bank!

Looking back on Mothers Days past... There was an elderly lady working in her flower garden all by herself one Mothers Day. I am sure she had children but maybe they didn't live nearby. It bothered me for some reason that she was all alone in her yard. I turned my car around and went back to the store. I went to the floral department and told the lady to make me a special bouquet, the price wasn't important. The flowers were so beautiful....So I rode back down the road towards home and there was the lady,still in the garden. I stopped the car in the drive way and took the flowers to her....She looked up and said hello....I said..." I know you aren't my mother,but I felt that you needed something special today." She was so happy and her eyes got tears in them....She thanked me over and over. I got back into my car and drove away...I felt so good that I started to cry!!! A few months later, I recieved a card from her thanking me....I don't know how she knew it was from me because I never left my name on the card. I loved that good feeling so much that I do that more often now.....Some people have never recieved flowers.....It brighten there day and I am glad!!!

Happy Mothers Day Ladies!!!

Spring means new,fresh.....

So...I treated myself to a new hair cut and color. I haven't been blondish in forever,so I told my hair lady to do something fun and not a traditional blonde.Something funky...So I got a Faux Hawk in a blondish red with blonde highlights...I love short hair on me. I can't seem to grow it out,so I want it funky if I am cutting it all up! Can't wait to throw some make up on and take some pictures!!!

Happy Spring!!!

Spring has arrived!

It was so nice out today. The wind was a little chilly,but the sun was shining bright. It was the perfect Sunday. We had some time down at the park with our favorite friends,had some lunch and when all was done came home and got some yard things taken care of. Took Max for a walk and all was a good day.

I just loved taking the time out of everyday things to walk around my yard and look at all the new things poping up that I planted last fall. I worried about them not being planted right and not coming up this year. But so far everything is growing. WE took out all the summer stuff for the yard and put them in their places now all that is left...waiting for the flowers to grow for that final touch.

I have a few shutters to paint and the front porch to snad and paint,but today was just a day to enjoy the yard with no snow....Finally!!!

Happy SPring!!!!
