Photostory Friday...


During spring break, we headed to St. George (ah, warmth). While there the weather was not as cooperative as we'd have liked. However, even with the wind and clouds (okay, and rain), the temperature was a warm 75. We were still able to enjoy the festivities downtown at the art festival (picture was taken there) and do a little hiking. We love St. George, especially in the winter. This picture wraps up the feelings we all had...pure joy!

Tuesday's Tribute...


So, this week I would like to tribute another follower/friend whom I know personally. However not like my sister Cheryl, knows her. They are BFs..almost sisters themselves. I met her a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed her contagious laughter. I remember going to meet her for the first time, feeling slightly nervous. The minute she opened the door, that totally dispelled. With Kiera (yay...a name)...you are family. I can see why my sister loves her. When my sister moved away from me, I was so sad (because this is about me). Not long after my sisters arrival to their new home, Kiera entered her life...and their story/friendship continues after almost 10 years.


She is a mother of 4 beautiful children. One of whom was added to their home just over a year ago, via adoption. Now they are excited to add another sweetie to the family the same way. How blessed those children are to have Kiera as a mother. A truly remarkable lady! Click on her pictures or highlighted areas of this post to read and enjoy more about her. She will open her heart to you with the warmest welcome...like she did me!

Photostory Friday...


How many electronic devices do you see?? Sad, I know. I never thought I would have so many gadgets...let alone understand (somewhat) how to use them. My daughter and her friends use some of their "hanging" out time to put ALL of them to use...with husbands help of course.

Tuesday's Tribute...

Well, this tribute comes easy in a BF kind of way. The hard part is putting into words the admiration I have for this beautiful woman. I met her at a "play date" at the park 4 years ago. I instantly knew it was going to be "kindred" relationship. K-have not had my nightly dose of NyQuil (been sick for 2 weeks...think I need the harder stuff, maybe even a doctor), so this is not drug induced....giggle. I digress (common/random, she totally gets that :)

If I pick up the phone to talk to her for "just 5 minutes," it turns into 2 hours..WTH..everyday (we have much to say...really)! There are many words to describe this incredible lady.... Funny, Codes, car washes, brakes, Coke, Lagoon, Quilted Bear, TWILIGHT, birthdays, children, Magical cupcakes, MUCH laughter, being myself, confidant, support, listener, singer (love the ones on the answering machine), friend, Auntie, Mom, daughter, and so much like a sister. I am so blessed to have her...I love you Karolynn

Tuesday's Tribute...

So, I wanted to do a shout out, if you will, to those who diligently follow me. I will begin with the first person on my list...Cecily. I started by going to Photostory Friday each week and joining in on a great way to showcase events or happenings through pictures. Cecily caught my eye with her amazing photographs. Not only does she take beautiful shots, but is one of the founders of Photostory Friday.
Isn't she a doll! I was able to have a brief encounter with this great lady at a MIF luncheon a few weeks ago. She is just as beautiful in person. Now, I did not have the opportunity to talk with her while there. However, after the fact via computer, did we even realize we were at the same function! Slacker...stalker...Love her...giggle (just some inside funny from MIF). Here are just a couple of photos I LOVE...
(please do not copy pictures for own use, unless permission from the owner)
Those are just a couple of the splendid talents she has...click on any of the pictures posted or highlighted words to see why I just love her!:) After checking her out...oooo..click on the button "Tuesday's Tribute" and enjoy playing along.

Photostory Friday...

I am so excited! Last week my friend let me color her hair...the salon style way! Fortunately it was just one color, but I felt so professional. Getting to wear the smock and gloves was such a treat. I know small things...but so worth it. Thanks Tricia.
Lately, I haven't been keeping up with my blogging, for many reasons. I want to Thank all of you who check in periodically and leave sweet comments. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
