My 365...

Nice quiet day in my world today.  I love it when that happens.  Hope your day was equally peaceful planet.  :)



This is my first child Micky.  :)  Yes, I know, he is just a doll.  Micky was born in 1985.  Jack and I were getting married, and getting pregnant was my top priority.  It was taking longer than I anticipated, so Jack purchased this adorable little Cabbage Patch doll and gave him to me for Christmas.
 He is now 28 years old..and I still love him! He will never grow old, and he never talks back.  The perfect child!  lol :)
This evening I started out just making some home-made salsa for tortilla chips.  As you can see by the photo below...I got a little carried away.  But it was yummy!

"Dozer, have you been rolling in the mud?"

"No mama, why do you ask?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe that patch of mud on your head is an indication that you have been?"
"Oh that?  I just walked under the mud tree, and it dripped down on my head."

Happy Monday planet!

Our day started out a little busy.  I had my three month appointment with my Rheumatologist.  It is only about 4 miles round trip from home, and because it is a gorgeous day outside, I decided to ride my bike. Blake and I enjoyed the nice ride.  It has been a windy day...43 MPH gusts...but fun none-the-less.

Hope your day has been going well.  :)

"Ready to go mama."
 Spring colors.
 "You okay mom?"  He is always checking on me.  :)
 More Spring colors.

 Beautiful Idaho skies today.

 "Yep, thought so, smells like a Monday.  Let me know when it is over please."

Happy DAMB!  Yep, it is the Day After My Birthday, and I am still alive.  Guess 52 is not so old after all.  I tend to celebrate my birthday the entire month of April.  I consider April to be mine all mine!  Now that I am in the second half of my life, I am going to celebrate every single day.  But here is the thing planet, you don't wait until the second half of your life to make every day a celebration, do it NOW!

We are having a rainy day here in Idaho.  Even some thunderous entertainment!  I love thunderstorms, just wished they lasted longer than they did here, they blow in and blow out so fast.  At least the valley is getting some much needed rain.  The Spring flowers are happy.

The only bad thing about a rainy day is that my body tends to remind me that I have RA.  No real pain, thank goodness, I just move a little bit s l o w e r than usual.  I am not complaining though!  I am now 18 years into my RA journey, and I feel pretty darn amazing.  Thanks to all the wonder drugs of today, my RA is very well managed.  This is a huge blessing for me.  :)

Today Blake and I have decided that it will be a "gaming" day.  No work, no lessons, no worrying about next week, just 100 percent rest, relaxation and Minecraft.  Tekkit more specifically.  We do love our Tekkit and Feed The Beast Minecraft.

Hope your day has been awesome planet!

And have a great Monday too.  :)


A delightfully rainy day today...



 My Casey <3

Happy Birthday to me!!

I feel so blessed today.  It was awesome to wake to all the Birthday wishes from friends and family all over the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all.  My auntie Rita called me to wish me a Happy Birthday, it was great to hear her voice.  I also got to speak to my Nana in Texas who always makes me laugh.  I have made it to 52 world, and am experiencing all the wonderful gifts that come with being a mom.  What more could I possibly need?  Not a thing planet.  :)

There are four amazing young men, who call me mom.  They love me, they respect me, and above all, they are sharing their lives with me.  How cool is that?  Pretty darn cool, let me tell you.  I love them SO freaking much it is ridiculous!  My two oldest sons have the most amazing young women in their life.  Garrett's girlfriend Kori, who is the sweetest, kindest, most inspirational young woman I have ever had the honor of knowing.  "I love you Kori!"  And Brandon's wife Amber, who is a remarkable young mother.  She is raising the most amazing little boy, and her love and dedication to her son, my precious grandson Cooper, and to my son Brandon, are without measure.  I know their new baby, due in just 14 weeks (EEEk!  I am so excited!!), will be just as amazing as little Cooper.  I am in awe of her.  "I love you Amber."  With a mommy and daddy like Brandon and Amber, my grandchildren will never want for love, they will have it in spades.  <3

Although my daughter Meagan is not in my life, I know she is living her best life with her husband Matt, and her son Oliver, and that is all I care about.  All a mother ever wants for her children is that they have the most amazing, happy and fulfilled life possible...and that is exactly what she and my sons have.  Nothing else matter to me.

Then there is my husband of 100 years.  He is dufus at times, and I want to invite him to take a long walk off a short pier pretty much on a daily basis, but he loves me and darn it, I love the old coot too.  After all, if it were not for him, I would not have my awesome children.  "Thank you Jack."

So yes planet, as my best friend Lisa would say..."Hippo Birdies" to me!  She sent me my first digital frame too.  "Thank you Lisa!  You are my very dearest friend in the whole wide word, and I love you!"

Thank You God for the last 51 years, and I will say thank You in advance for the next 51.  Yep, I am going to live to be 102 years old.  With a life as happy and fulfilled as mine, why would I want to be anywhere else...but in this incredible, fantabulous, magnificent one, that is mine, all mine.

This is going to be an amazing year.  Want to know how I know that?  Because my son Garrett told me so.

Bring it on 52, I am ready for you!!

I love you planet.  :)

Casey was out the door at the crack of dawn, just as he always is, but he promised to let me take of picture of him tomorrow.  

Here is Garrett, Kori and Blake.
Adorable birthday card from Garrett and Kori.  They also got me seeds for my vegetable garden this year!
They are so goofy.  LOL, I love them.

Happy Weekend planet!  :)

It was a beautiful Spring day in Boise today.  The weather was sunny and clear, in the mid 60's.  Where was I?  Not outside enjoying the weather that much is certain.  Nay, nay, I was up to my elbows in paperwork.  But that is okay, taxes are done, work is all done, and I am free for the next two days.  Yay!

Have an amazing weekend everyone.  <3

A lot of beautiful Spring color in my world today.



Dinner is served.  Tonight I kept it simple.  Chicken breast, steamed rice and vegetables.
