Circus!

This is what I did Friday Night

It came from this

One of my favorite books

Sunday I went to this

I love Elephants!
I had a great day and I think I was more excited than the kids!
It just topped off a great weekend of celebrating, Easter was really great this year!

Are you ready???


Honeslty what does that really mean? Ready for what the whole thing to be over? I have always been so deflated after Christmas, it is OVER, all the build up actually seems better than the day. And can you really be ready. Presents wrapped, food cooked, or did you throw a few gifts under the tree you found hidden in the closet when you went to get your good robe you are going to wear for the pictures, or if you forget, one of the 12 dishes you were going to make for Christmas dinner will it be that bad?

I don't hate Christmas, but really love the "Season" because it lasts longer. I have a mom that stress over all the "undone" things and then cannot enjoy any of it.

Please all my lovely friends don't stress it will all happen and it will be a memory of all that gathered and not really what was not done. Enjoy the moment and the time it will all be great, honestly letting go is hard especially for us women but how much nicer life is when you do.

So have the Happiest of Christmases and remember why we celebrate and it really puts all the hoopla in to perspective.
Merry Christmas
Hugs, Lisa

It's Finally Here!

I am very excited about tonight!

I hope everyone is having a great week and I will be back soon with pictures of the apartment. Life is still happening and I never have wifi access when I need it, I will try and do my post on Live Writer so I can post when I have access!
Tomorrow is my 42nd Birthday and I am going to see Harry Potter!
I will see it again this weekend with my aunt and grandmother, as my family is in LOVE with the series!
If I am not back soon 
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hugs, Lisa

Life gets in the way

15-Fall

It is fall here now, cool weather , pumpkins and mums.

fall-pumpkin-wagon-2004

The leaves are starting to change but we just had loads of rain so they will be delayed, but so will the raking ;)

I will be away from my beloved blogland for a while.

Life brings ups and downs and changes.

Not all things that change are bad. My family does not handle change well and they do not handle me being separate from them.

For those who don’t know me so well, I am not married and have no children so I am not leaving them, I am moving across town from my Mother and Sister (and 4 kids) and try to have some sort of peace at least most days of the week!

peaceful_cottage_active-324517-1262422971

I have to get all my goodies sorted and moved or sold. My mother will keep things that she wants and I will still need storage ugh! I think I spend the next year sorting!

So I will be away as I don’t know when the internet will be able to be connected. I will try to journey out and use wifi to visit occasionally but won’t be posting.

So as life is getting in the way of me being who I want to be ;) Have a beautiful Fall and I will be back soon♥

Please Join us in Hope

Today we are sharing Hope

We are raising money for a very sweet lady and trying to share as much Hope as we can find in Blogland♥

Colette♥

Kelee has a link for all to view the video of Colette’s room make over and she will receive $1 for all comments left on this link. Please stop by Guideposts and thank them for sponsoring this event! We hope they will do it for more people if we do.

My story is of my sweet little cousin Chase. At nine months old he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma.

(The bruise on his head is from playing like a boy not his cancer ;)

How can you say to a baby’s family your child has the worst form of cancer in 7 different parts of his body? I know why I am not a doctor.

My cousin Christine has the best spirit and the whole family dug in and 11 months after diagnosis Chase was treatment free, he has stayed that way for 4 months now. Chase has continued to fight and is a happy child that climbs and runs and swims and enjoys all that life has to offer.

(Chase on his 2nd birthday with sister Olivia)

It is great to see God work so fast and how even those who should be too little to understand can know to live life to the fullest.

I have always had Hope even if all the loved ones didn’t make it all the way through the journey. They lived and had good lives and that is the Hope we are given daily.

I thank God every day for the day I had they are really all good no matter how I handled them, simply because I had the day.

Beverly and Sherrie are also hosting this party please stop by and support Colette!

So I hope you all have a Pretty Pink day and enjoy your day, it was given to you as a present♥

Hugs, Lisa

Thanks for all your sweet comments about my kitchen♥

I love my stuff, the room on the other hand is hard to use and I really don’t cook much because of it!

My weekend

 

I have been fighting this. Some stupid tracking program wouldn’t let my computer send out info. I had no email for 2 days!!

Finally figured out what it was and got my antivirus to unload the dang thing! YUCK!

I also helped my sister move her family into their new home. I haven’t seen them at all today. Mixed emotions but I don’t miss the 3 hours of screaming that started at 9 pm every night.

I have tomorrow off and will once again feel guilty I have not made a dentist appointment for one of the many things I need to have done. Need to get on that before my teeth start hurting! YUCK!

Hope you all had a good Monday. There are many Birthdays in Blogland this week so Happy Birthday everybody!

Hugs, Lisa
