RAMBLINGS

The other day a glorious rain storm came out of nowhere. The kind of rain that makes you so excited you almost pee your pants. I watched from my window at work wishing so desperately that I could be outside being drenched by it. When I left work and was on my way home, the rain stopped but it left behind a whole rainbow from start to finish. For years I have been wanting to see an entire rainbow, I had only ever seen parts either the start or the bow or the touch down, never one in all its glory. It was like a gift, a little present just for me!

Hope you catch a rainbow sometime.

Happy Thursday!!!

Five Favorite Things!!!!!!!!!

I love carousels, when I was a little girl my room was all done up in carousel motif. Cherries are another one of those childhood summer time favorites, so refreshing on a hot day(don't forget to spit out the pit.). Rainy days however are best spent curled up in bed reading a good book becoming lost in another world. When I do finally break back into reality I so enjoy going outside and watering my beautiful sunflowers. They are just so cheery and beautiful, always face up to the sun. Although they do not thrive in Fall which is my all time favorite season. The crisp air and wonderful colors is breath taking.

Take a trip down Memory lane and have a great Wednesday.

What I love about sundays...

After church on Sunday we headed over to Becky and Tims for a BBQ. It is always great food and tons of laughter at their house. The girls stay in the kitchen most of the time talking and laughing, one does not come with out the other around there. The men stay outside grilling and doing guy stuff. (not totaly sure what that intales since they normally dont show their faces until its time to eat.) By the way, can these people cook! The food is always devine.  I wish I could cook like that. It was a really good wrap up to a crazy week.

For my mother

For all that you've done for me.

I wrote her a poem back in 2004 and it still applies today.

You were always there for me,

even if i way wrong.

You were there to tie my shoes,

and kiss all my boo boos.

You were always my hero,

even when i was zero.

You'd make me laugh until I'd cry,

and let me help you bake Thanksgiving pie.

You read me stories and sang me songs.

You love me so much,

and i think you're the best.

But now it's my turn to give it back.

I love you lots,

you know that.

this is my poem,

my way of giving back. 

For my best friend and loving mother happy Mothers day! this says it all right here.

Love always,

Lamb

Rocking out to the 80's!!!!!

It all started with this jumper!

I have been feeling so 80's for the past few days (now I know I wasnt born in the 80's but they had a great impact on my cultural up bringing.) I have been jamming out to Billy Joel for the past few days while driving and yes ladys and gents he is rocking via cassette tape. How awesome is that? Yes they still have them and yes my car can play them. No judgement.

Oh and candy from the 80's totally rocking!

Can you say... poprocks? Ok now try it with a mouthful of these fizzy treats.

And now for some of the greatest movies of all time I absolutely Love Desperately seeking Susan, 16 candels, the breakfast club need I say more. Why dont they make movies like these any more? Really another comedy thats point is two disfunctional people getting together and then breaking up just to get back together again. I mean come on people get a new plot line.

Have a happy weekend!!

XOXO

Hello Wednesdayers, we are over the hump and it is down hill to the weekend.

Today's story is by David Hume.

To Madame de Boufflers 

It is impossible for me, dear madam, to express the difficulty which I have to bear your absence, and the continual want which I feel of your society. I had accustomed myself, of a long time, to think of you as a friend from whom I was never to be separated during any considerable time; and I had flattered myself that we were fitted to pass our lives in intimacy and cordiality with each other.Age and a natural equality of temper were in danger of reducing my heart too great indifference about everything, it was enlivened by the charms of your conversation, and the vivacity of your character. Your mind,more agitated both by unhappy circumstances in your situation and by your natural disposition, could respose itself in the more calm sympathy which you found with me.

   But behold! three months are elapsed since I left you; and it is impossible for me to assign a time when I can hope to join you. I still return to my wish, that I had never left Paris, and that I had kept out of the reach of all other duties, except that which was so sweet, and agreeable, to fulfil, the cultivating your friendship and enjoying your society. Your obliging expressions revive this regret in the strongest degree; especially where you mention the wounds which,though skinned over, still fester at the bottom.

    Oh! my dear friend, how I dread that it may still be long ere you reach a state of tranquillity, in a distress which so little admits of any remedy, and which the natural elevation of your character, instead of putting you above it, makes you feel with greater sensibility. I could only wish to administer the temporary consolation, which the presence of a friend never fails to afford... I kiss your hands with all the devotion possible.

Have a great day!!!

XOXO

Easter overload!!

Part one!!!!

Our church did a picnic in the park on Saturday. I took a very close family friend's daughters Kaylee and Paytion. They had a egg hunt, cookie decorating and lots of fun games for the kidos.

Mom & the girls

After the hunt we went back to the house and dyed easter eggs. I love dying eggs it reminds me of times spent with my cousins growing up and dying eggs together and laughing about how silly julie is and the goofie things she comes up with.

Payton was so funny she kept trying to dye three eggs at once.

After our fabulous egg dying the guys came over for dinner and Guesstures. I dont know if y'all are big family game nighters but our family deffinatly is. It is just such a time of bonding and love shared through the competitiveness of playing a game together.

I cant believe how big she is getting!
Only 10 and she is my hight.

And then there is my snuggle bug.

Part two!!!

Mom and i have family friends that moved out here from delaware like us, we do most holidays together. on sunday we enjoyed a delightful dinner at their home.

Mikie and I

Me and my sweet Mackenzie enjoying our desert.




Easter was celabrated with a bang this year just how it should be, to rejoyce that our saviour has concored the grave.

Good night Monday!!!!

XOXO
