This has been a busy, busy week at our house. February 10th through the 16th is always busy at our house. We have several celebrations beginning with Garret’s birthday on the 10th and ending with our anniversary on the 16th. Somewhere in there is Valentine’s Day, right? And the week often includes President’s Day which [...]

Welcome to the New Year!
Yes, I am a bit slow this year. And I had plans for many lovely posts during the holidays that just did not materialize. As I told my Journal this morning, “I was too busy living life to write about it.”
Sorry excuse, but it will have to do.
To start 2010, [...]

This is the view out my front window. Beautiful. Majestic. Inspiring. Peaceful.
Just what I need right now in my life.
This mountain has became everything that it is today because of the harshness of it’s past. It’s not the tallest mountain, or the most beautiful, or the most rugged, or the most… anything, really. [...]

Today is my youngest’s 20th birthday. Amalie is 20. No more teenagers.
Weird.
I don’t feel like the Mom of two adult children.
Not that I mind. Aging has not yet bothered me. I figure as long as I keep telling myself I’m not old, I won’t ever get there. And every birthday I have on this planet [...]

This past week our AZ daughter, Nikaela, and her sweet family came for a visit. We had so much fun! One whole week of great adult conversation. One whole week of snuggling Grandbabies. One whole week of big breakfasts, visiting fun sights, watching movies and eating popcorn. What a wonderful Christmas Gift!
We were sad to [...]

Here are ten of my favorite photos from Halloween night. I took most of them, but Garret grabbed a couple of the night shots so I could be in them (we don’t want it to look like Garret lived alone!). We also attended a trunk-or-treat event in our neighborhood, but I forgot my camera for [...]

If the response to my last blog post is any indication, Grandparents really are special people! What a gift for me to get to read about so many wonderful, special Grandmas and what they have meant to some of you. Thanks for sharing such special memories and traditions!
Today I read about another special Grandma, [...]

Growing up I had my very special Grandma Eddie. Actually, she was Grandma Nellie until my sister’s first child could not say “Nellie” and it came out in a very cute “Eddie” (love you, Jeni-Pen). Grandma was thrilled – she did not like the name “Nellie” and threatened me when I suggested using Nellie as [...]

Pollyanna. Rose-colored glasses. Optimistic to a fault. Miss Happy. Somehow, we can be intimidated by people with a positive attitude. We tend to think they are ‘gifted’ with a positive attitude and maybe they just haven’t had any real trials in life. That their struggles are easier on them because they have optimism in their [...]
