a breath of fresh air

It was lovely to take a deep breath of fresh air! Take nothing for granted. Made it home safe and sound, tried so hard to sleep but here I am at 6:30 still awake. My granddaughter Autumn and I met in the kitchen at 1a.m. and had a nice little talk while I had a snack. She had a birthday while I was gone and is now a beautiful 12. (Me thinks she enjoyed having her room to herself while Rachel was gone.) Britton also had a birthday and is now 6. She is loving her home schooling school, but then who wouldn't love taking a "Cupcake" class! They do offer some great classes, besides the basics. Britton is fun to talk to on the phone now and I love hearing about whats going on in her life.
Thanks for all your sweet comments while I was gone, I was reading over them tonight.
As soon as I'm able to load my pictures on I'll show you some more of our trip. Sarah posted a few pictures we were able to send on the ipod touch but we had so much more.......
I might not have slept tonight but, I did love laying in my bed, there's just nothing like your own bed!

    Welcome back! I drove past your town on the weekend and said a prayer for you. One of these days we'll have to get together for a cup of tea down there!

    Good to have you back Linda. I quite agree - no place like your own bed

    There is no place like home, there is no place like home - and your old bed.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
