Over at I ♥ Faces the challenge this week is “I Wanna Dance”. The pictures that are posted there for the contest are WAY out of my league! However, I do like having a fresh idea in mind while searching my photos and memories for yet another blog post. As dances go, the immediate thought […]
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: February 10, 2010… Outside my window…the weather is cold, gloomy, and sad. I am thinking…that despite the weather I feel as though it is going to be a good day. I am thankful for…continued good health in our household. For the first time on Friday we were hit with a […]
I awoke this morning as I always do….to the sound of Ava’s knocking on her door, waiting to get out. The sound of little feet with noise like a heard of elephants had already been traveling up to my ears. Chloe and Jayden were up to something. With Ava dressed in her Valentine’s Day outfit, […]

I am thinking…how wonderful it is that my parents’ have been married for 46 years today. I am thankful for…the science center we […]
Tomorrow is my parents’ wedding anniversary. They will have been married for 46 years! I know for me, that seems like a lifetime. They are in the minority of people who can truly say they have spent their lives together. So in honor of their wedding anniversary, and in keeping with the NaBloPoMo theme of […]
