Happy Happy Friday!

Someone told me this morning that I am the most optimistic cheerful person he has ever met, what am I on?  And I said to him....LIFE!  Yes, as corny as that may sound, I am high on life.  What can I say?  :)

I LOVE life!  Deal with it....

My photo of the day.  Blake went to the dollar store the other day, and he purchased this little air horn.  I asked him what on earth was he planning to do with it?

He told me...

"Mom, you know how you have a hard time waking me up?  You can use this!"

Now look at this sweet sleeping face.  Would I EVER do that to him? 
No way!  Not in a million years.  :)

Music I am listening to today, Aerosmith.

Have an amazing weekend world!

Until next time...

Good day today despite the fact that it is doctor day. I am so sick of doctors! "bleh"

The day did start out well when I got a call from son Brandon. I love hearing his voice. :) Jack gave them a ride to take Cooper for a checkup. I was SO jealous that Jack got to see him and I didn't, but he did tell me how adorable Cooper was.  He is such a perfect, healthy and happy baby.  Amber and Brandon are being a wonderful mommy and daddy.  I am very proud of them. :)

 My very handsome chauffeur Blake.  He will be driving soon enough, but NOT yet! 
 Great view from the doctor's office.
Such a beautiful city.  I love living here.  :)

Music I am listening to today, Yo-Yo Ma.

Until next time...

"Yes mama, looks fabulous doesn't it?"

We are enjoying a stormy afternoon here in Boise.  Major storms blowing in to our area, and I love it!  When we lived in Texas, stormy weather always made me nervous because as a child our home was flooded several times and it was a very traumatic experience.  We also had to worry about tornadoes.  Here in Boise, the only thing we worry about is the power going out.  That can be traumatic!  Imagine a world without technology.  *gasp*

My photo of the day...

One evening in Texas as I was bowling on a league night, and I bowled a perfect 300.  It was a fluke really, but the event made it to the local newspapers and was quite exciting.  I will never forget that night.  I qualified for The Texas Games, and we traveled to Dallas where I won a gold medal in my division.  The story on the 225 pin, our league president did not have any 300 pins as he had never met anyone who bowled a 300, so he gave me a 225 pin and told me he would order the 300 pin.  I never got that pin, but it did not matter to me.  I was not completely thrilled with my 300 score because it totally blew my average!  lol :)

I still have all my bowling equipment, but have not been bowling in years.  My RA has left my right hand a bit too sensitive to hold a bowling ball, but that is okay, I have my bowling memories!

Music I am listening to today, Spyro Gyra. 

Until next time...

Happy March!  If today is an indication of the coming month of March, I am ready.  Nice, quiet and peaceful day.  The boys did their school work with no problems, and I had a good work day as well.  :)
