Happy 45th Anniversary…

Connor & Missy made this video for us when we went out to the Outerbanks to celebrate with the family. So very touching to be loved. He put it to one of our (i.e.favorite) songs. We love you both so much. Thank you for making this such a memorable vacation…

It took me awhile to figure out how to get this loaded but it was worth it. I love you both so much <3 Connor & Missy !!! Thank you for loving our family. This video brought me to tears. We are so loved…

Will have many more photograph’s as we had a professional photographer to take pictures of the most of the family by the ocean. It was a glorious vacation and it’s been the most wonderful 45 years anyone could ever hope for. Thank you so much God, we are truly blessed !!!!

Happy Beautiful Song Lyric Sunday !!!

Going to jump in on this one. Thanks, Mr. Jim for a really great prompt. Today’s prompt is, ” Parent & Child ” I’m going to use one of my fav’s. The song is, ” The Prayer ” sung by Andrea Boncelli and Celine Dion …

It seems appropriate especially b/c it is Sunday after all. This song is about God The Father who looks after us all, as we are His children.

These are the lyrics. It’s just such a beautiful song I really don’t mind listening to it a 2nd time. Blessings to all this Sunday.

Friday’s Follies…

So we made it back home from our family get together out at the Outerbanks, NC…We all had a really great time. I did get some really amazing pictures of the sunsets. As you can see. Can hardly wait to see the pictures. I might as well listen to our first song. We have a lot of songs that we love, but his was one of our favorites.

The main purpose of the trip was to get family photo’s by the ocean w/a professional photographer so it was a success. Y A Y for me and Connie (our youngest) as he really did most of the preps…

45 years, still growing strong !!!!

When I get the pictures, I’ll post about that vacation. We all say, ” Same time, next year !!! “ So I’m thinking it was a success.

Today I came across an entry in my, “Common Place” book I thought I would like to share.

7 Cardinal Rules for Life

  1. Make peace w/your past so it won’t disturb your present
  2. What other people think of you is none of your business
  3. Time heals almost everything, give it time.
  4. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  5. Don’t compare your life to other’s and don’t judge them, you gave no idea what their journey is all about.
  6. Stop thinking too much. It’s alright not to know all the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it. Last but certainly not least, and probably the most important rule of all…
  7. Smile 🥰. You don’t own all the problems in the world

A little advice to pack away for a rainy day. Let’s have the best weekend ever. Enjoying another amazing Fall day in the midwest !!!

Here are a few more pics of our trip out east …
