This newest grandson makes #18 for me. Wow --- what a troop I've got. Each one is such a blessing and I'm eager to put the newest member into my arms AND spend time with his older siblings. The last time we were together was in June at the family reunion. Ahhhh, bring it on and let the hugs begin. I'm ready.
Just look at these beautiful snow-covered mountains. THIS is another thing I miss looking at. I am not to the point of missing the cold it brings along.
Happy New Year!!!
2022 has arrived and I laid in bed quietly watching the downtown fireworks show coming from Reunon Tower. I can hear the show, even as far away as I am. Enjoy the pics.
What had intended to be a quiet day at home turned into a day trip that lasted 10 hours and made many new memories. Come along and peek in on our day.
We hit the road at around 7 on a foggy morning --- heading south.
My sweet Mister and I only do stockings for each other and they are generally, small and simple gifts. Sometimes silly, sometimes pretty cool. It's a way of letting each other know they're important and for just some fun. At our age, if there is something we want or need, it usually just gets bought. We don't wait for a holiday and then the "obligation" to purchase something. I think, for us, it all works.
After saying good-bye to family, Mister took me on a hunt for the pelicans. They were last spotted near the dam as we make our way to lunch. They've left the area BUT check out the number of egrets and herons in the trees and bushes. You will have to look really close as all I had with me was my phone, but, it's crazy cool.
Loving the gardens as we do, we could walk them everyday and the holidays just bring them to life in a fun way that one never tires of. Come along for a few pics.
