A Beautiful Spring Day

SO, wake up in the morning with your windows open.
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken.
Where your red dress, and use your best dishes.
Go outside and have fun, and make lots of wishes............

Tomorrow is my birthday, and the fun begins today! I get to celebrate with my family tonight at Alessandro's. Mickael, [ the chef there] makes the most delicious food in the United States. It is the perfect dining experience, and the deserts [especially the cre'me brulee] are the best in the world!

It's off to Seattle with Kesha for the weekend to have a blast with Ryder.

I love birthdays!

God bless, xo

Cohen and I

Cohen and I had a nice evening together last night. I picked her up at her house at 4:00 and we headed back to my house. We could not wait to color with the new washable markers I bought. We drew some awesome drawings of balloons and hearts, flowers and trees, and eyes. They were Cohen's choices.
We popped popcorn the old fashion way in a big deep cast iron skillet and laughed every time we lifted the lid and the popcorn jumped out!
We built a tall tower with wood blocks and watched in amazement went it finally fell over.
We read books about farm animals and remembered how much fun we had at The Petting Zoo last week. The little goats are our favorite.
We made-up a dance routine to the Beattles "Hard Days Night" album, and then after dancing up a storm, refreshed ourselves with an all natural root beer float.
Then it was off to Great Grandma and Grandpa's to visit and explore all of their nic/nac's.
Great Grandma always has yummy snacks a juice and fun toys.

I am SO blessed to have my Cohen. She brings out the child in me, and all my cares are left behind when we are together.

How blessed am I?!!!!!!!

God bless, xo

Seattle

It is way too awesome to have a son living in Seattle!
Ryder invited me to come to Seattle for the weekend of my birthday. He has booked a room for me and we have made plans for dining out, catching a movie, shopping and visiting Pike's Market. One of the greatest things about the trip is Kesh and I are going together. It will be a last adventure together before Co's sister is born.
Anyway, I am looking SO forward to it!

God bless, xo

Bright Sunshiney Day

It is going to be a bright sunshiney day! It feels good to see the sun. We do appreciate every little ray when we get it here in Salem! I have noticed a lot of little Spring flowers poking their heads up from the ground. My Dad's lawn is full of pretty little purple crocus, a first sign of Spring.

May God bless this beautiful day!

Sad Cloud [For Dean]

There is a sad cloud in the sky today.
It is sad when someone has gone away.
Away from us here on earth.
There was no time to say good bye, You left us with only tears to cry.
The Angels have come and taken You home,
and now You will never be alone.
Safe with Jesus in peace and love, You are now as free as a beautiful dove.
