A sad note...

I was saddened to hear that Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passed away. I watched some of Farrah's Story and I found it so heartbreaking. Since they both left this earth on my birthday, I feel they are somehow a part of my life cycle now. I am not sure exactly what that means or even why I feel that way, but as the saying goes "it is what it is" and I accept it.

On a lighter note, yesterday my hubby and I went to a Corvette car show on Saturday and oh boy , were there lots of pretty cars there, from the fist year (1953) to brand new. They were auctioning some off and due to the economy some people were getting bargains. It was a nice day for a ride, but just as we got home, a storm came up and wow it was a doozy. Then as quickly as it came, it was gone.

Sunday turned out to be even nicer than Saturday, so we took another drive to a town that was having an art show. It was so beautiful out that we rode with the windows down (which we rarely do anymore) and let the wind blow. The art show was in a park with photographers, painters, sculpters, and even a completely portable pottery set up where a man was sitting at a potter's wheel "throwing a pot"out of clay. He had a kiln of some sort, glazing materials, and examples of his beautiful pots, vases, and various art works. He was amazing to watch!

Well... it's late and my grandson is coming at 8:30 am to grandma sit, so I had better go to bed.

Once Again...

Well, once again I have become a year older...this seems to happen every year!! I guess I should be used to it by now!

Jim (my hubby) must be mellowing with age because he did something so nice for me. He put 5 humorus cards around the house before he went to work and I found them as I went about my day. I laughed so much and felt younger with each card. He can be such a thoughtful person when he puts his mind to it. My daughter and grandson stopped by with flowers, candy, and the book about Patrick Swazey's life story. (I am a big fan and sorry to see him and his family suffering so)My three grandchildren who live farther away from me called to tell me happy birthday and I really enjoyed that.

So all in all it was a wonderful day for me.

Just the begining...

Hi... this is my first attempt at blogging... I have always thought it would be fun and fruitful. Below is a photo of my mom who turned 93 in May. Since she and my late dad created me, I felt I wanted to begin my blog with a nod to them.
