Julie & Carter

Julie is one of my newest best friends and her son Carter. Two peas on a pod. A joy to watch and be with. I am cramming this in before I leave for vacation tomorrow. A 2 Week Road trip from West to East! A first for both; having a two week vacation and driving from the West to the East. But TRULY a dream trip! CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE ENTIRE SLIDE SHOW

Happy Thanksgiving! The Eyes are the Windows to Our Soul ~ My Window

I am so grateful that I have a window to look through that I can call my own. A miracle that happened over 4 years ago. Now I am working very hard to hang on to my window. I have been very grateful for all the wonderful work that has come my way this year that has made it possible to hang on. The house has been added on twice and the oldest part is over 30 years old. So the window has seen a few things in its time. Just like I. I am so blessed to have a home to invite family over for Thanksgiving. My brother Pratt is here for the first time with his beautiful Chesapeake called "Shy". The dog is so big that it looks like a person leaning up against my kitchen counter ;) May the day progress without something getting eaten accept on the dining room table....
