Beauty and Happiness...

Hello Friends...I have been enjoying what is left of our summer..Here is a recent photo of lil bug..where she lives in Canada, it is getting colder by the minute, much to the horror of her Mom lol...I was feeling lost after the wedding and lil bug's birth...plus of course we spent much too much money..sigh..So I finally felt motivated to set some goals for myself..No spending money on "stuff" that I don't need....With the fall came some jobs..babysitting and cleaning a suite..so now of course I am going to be too busy...what can you do ,... I was never what you call balanced lol...I find that if I make lists of what I would like to accomplish each day, then the outcome is much better...So, as they say, we shall see..I have enjoyed reading your blogs this past summer...Enjoy the fall wherever you live, or our southern hemisphere neighbours, it is going into spring......

Lazy, Lazy Days

I have been very lazy these past few weeks...swimming...playing art with my second cousin and little neighbour..nieces over to swim and hot dog bbq..taking it easy...I finally cleaned and tidied the craft room..moved furniture, papers to recycle...but the best part of this summer is getting on Skype with my daughter and granddaughter.. I get silly, make faces, sing nursery songs..I have been talking to Lil Bug almost everyday..my hubbie and I love her soooo much my heart might burst lol... Well must get back to my tough job of sitting in the backyard, feeling the breeze on my hair and hearing children play ...take care friends...what is your idea of a good lazy afternoon??????

Hello Friends

Hi friends, how has your summer been? We have been busy. Hubby and I just came back from a quiet trip to our lil trailer in the forest. Went swimming, walked, hiked and slept in the hammock..I am finding it hard to "re-entry" normal life..will be visiting your blogs soon...

Here is the latest piucture of our little sweetie in her new play saucer.....

Mission completed !!

My son's wedding was on Saturday July 17, 2010...there were many hitches before the wedding..but the day was lovely and warm..the bride and groom pulled off a meaningful and welcoming party....they are now honeymooning in Mexico for a well deserved rest..the bride passed her RN exams and is now a full-fledged nurse..long may they be happy...
