Happy Mother's Day to my mama in heaven..

Happy Mother's Day to my mama in heaven. I miss her so much. She loved the Red Hat ladies and this was one of her favorite pictures, which she had in a frame by her favorite chair for years. This is from 2006 and was our Christmas Party. I miss and love you mom.

So long ago....

It's throw back Thursday! Let's go back to 1996 and our first ( of many) Renaissance festival at Wentzville, MO. Bill surprised me with a "spur of the moment" day trip. What fun and it started a whole new chapter in our life! I only have a flower Garland on my head, the other thing is a hanging basket right behind me...

Darren and Mindy come to town

My son, Darren and daughter-in-law, Mindy came to visit today! Those kids are such fun! We laughed so much! They also brought lunch, dessert and a large bouquet of beautiful fresh flowers. We went shopping around Salem for a while and spent time sitting outside on this gorgeous day! So great to see them! I hope you all had a great day too!

Been out here most of this beautiful day..time to go in now, but look at this sunset!



 

We are out by the fire today, eating chicken fajitas. It's such a gorgeous day! Bill put up my hammock this morning, so you know what that means, an afternoon of reading! Bill is going to mow, but I will be relaxing.
