It has been a sad couple of weeks. A beloved friend and neighbor passed away and another was rushed to the hospital a few days later.We never know when things are going to happen to change our lives for ever. Another reason we need to live each day as if its our last and make sure that our loved ones know how much we love them.

A wonderful Easter !

Easter 2010 - 3 of my grandchildren having a Easter egg hunt at my home.
It was a wonderful day! First celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord,having loved ones and friends over for lunch of Baked Ham,candied yams,pineapple souffle,potato salad,fresh peas and butterbeans,cream corn and strawberry cheesecake and coconut cream pie for dessert and of course hiding eggs for the 3 youngest grandchildren all afternoon.When everyone had gone home ,I sat down and relaxed and watched the movie Did you hear about the Morgan's? Thanking God for all his blessings to us!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone !

A wonderful Weekend !

I had the most wonderful weekend with my 8 year old granddaughter. We went to a Fred Astaire dance recital "The magical world of Disney" saturday night, to church Sunday morning,breakfast at Mcdonald's on the way and after church lunch at a beautiful historical lodge,that she had never been too,she kept telling me ,as she looked around at the beautiful scenery,as we had had lunch,that she felt like she was in Paris. Being able to enjoy these things with her,this grandma feels like she is in Heaven. Life is good regardless of the problems and trials we face.

A Beautiful Day !

It is 24 degrees at my house this morning. We may get into the 60's this afternoon.
I am so ready for Spring,as I am sure everyone else is.I am really trying to make the most of this cold florida winter by reading more,spending time sitting around the fireplace,cooking homemade soups and dreaming about warmer days ahead when we can sit out in the sun,go boating,and to the beaches. It cannot be too far away but for now I will enjoy this cold and sunny day.
