Brrr...

The glaciers were amazing....

Lions and Tigers and.....

Lots of people go to Alaska without ever seeing what we were so lucky to see.  Never mind the bald eagles, the harbor seals, the hump back whales or the school or orca....seeing this momma bear with her three cubs feeding on the salmon, which we saw from the little boat we were on for our lake fishing excursion was just amazing.

Oh, what to do...

Life gets busy.  It happens.  Its what we do about it that counts.  Take a lesson form my Bo.  He knew what to do.

Travel Companion

When I was pregnant with my first child, I developed carpal tunnel and the doctor suggested that I sleep on my side hugging a pillow to increase my circulation.  That was very uncomfortable, so I decided I'd give one of my stuffed animals a try.  I've always loved stuffed animals, so I had lots to choose from.  There was only one that fit, that felt right. 

That was over 22 years ago and I have not slept a night without my buddy since.  He has traveled with me, no matter where I go. 

Lucky Stars

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t consider myself extremely lucky.  Why?  My boys!  They are both of legal drinking age, but to me they will always be ‘my boys’.

There are three things that they show me each and every day.  That they love me, they appreciate me and that they respect me.

Can’t ask for anything more!  Not sure what I did right, so I thank my lucks starts for this gift….

After a long winter, such as the one we had, it seems to make the joys of spring that much sweeter.  This was taken a couple years ago, but as I was looking thought old pictures, it really is a nice sign of spring….

They grew so fast
