Aw....Mondays Blue Monday Memories I Think I Love Pink love is....

 Awww......Mondays

A pink kitchen! What do you think?  I think my husband may want a Blue Kitchen instead! But if I had a tiny cottage, I would have this kitchen! A girl can always dream.

This is a Lennar Home. Do you have this builder in your area? I know a gal who has lived in three different Lennar homes. They are beautiful but this cottage style with a second story made me smile and remember sharing Blue with Sally a long while ago. 

I am not a SnapChat fan! I like to save photos so I played with their app and created me in a younger light! Ha ha Ha ha! It was a fun experience.

love is... always shares my thoughts the best.  I use to fight aging and hated thinking of growing older. But sharing my life with my sweet husband Avery made all the difference. A friend Margie  long ago told me, I embrace my graying hair. Those are strains of wisdom and I know I deserve them! I waited a long time  for them. 

The world is moving fast, changing in ways I don't like! Think Venezuela ! Rumors of wars and wars raging. So I will try to remain in God's circle and pray for my country, my people, my world. John Paul II was a Good Shepherd. But he came to Denver in 1993 and I was waiting "impatiently" for Nick to be born! So I was unable to go to the event to hear him speak. My uncle Art went along with my Aunt Ann S. and her friend Joe. My aunt Stephanie had recently passed away and Uncle Art wanted to attend because they had planned to go together. It was a sweet tribute to her and maybe she was watching them from her new heavenly home.

I love this quote and I thought if Annie still did  Sparks  at McGuffy's Reader  she might have liked this share too. Lots of people still post these and I try to do them too.

The whirlwind of company, parties, happy August days and sadness too gave me some moments to relax and reflect. I will be around to visit you and I usually check prior posts at your blogs so it takes me a while. I hope something good happens to you today.

Aw....Mondays and More

Friday Rebekah and Zach took me to Guanella Pass with them. We had a wonderful time and the Aspen's were perfectly golden. We stopped in Idaho Springs to have lunch at Beau Jo's pizza and while waiting for our table did some Miner Street shopping. I always had a bag of those polished colorful stones when I was a kid so I treated myself to one there too. 

The pizza was delicious and we ordered the Motherload. You tear off the crust after you finish your pizza so you can pour some honey over it. That way you avoid ordering dessert too.  It was a gorgeous day. We will go back up once Hannah and Jake get here this weekend.  We are in full Baby Shower mode so getting all the goodies ready. 

I can not begin to describe the golden glow these aspen trees put off. I brought home lots of falling leaves so my sweetheart, who could not go this time, will make me a few bookmarkers.

God's Graciousness 

We really had  an awwww......moment. A phamily of deer crossed the road up the pass in front of us. The mother deer looked at Zach as if to say thank you for slowing down. It was breathtaking.

Prayers asked for Beckham and his daddy Jeremiah. Thank you.

 Aw...Mondays

My brother Bill and his wife Joyce have been married for 60 years this month. Their children and grandchildren surprised them with a wonderful brunch yesterday and what a beautiful day it was. Zach and Rebekah and our Nick joined Avery and I as well as our Noelle. We had a splendid time and it was wonderful to visit with many relatives we have not seen in  quite a while.  Joyce and Bill looked surprised as their grandson Nick brought them into the brunch. We were able to step out onto the patio area and take many photos with  the beautiful foothills of Golden, Colorado in the backdrop after visiting and eating all the delicious food on the brunch. Stories were told and it was a beautiful day. Rebekah was able to catch a photo with her aunt and uncle as she spent some time with them several months ago to get some childhood memories. Avery and I were happy to pose with my big brother and beautiful sister-in-law. 

The day was filled with so many good memories and I found this meme and wanted to share it:

This touched my heart. I had my parents on my mind all day. They both had large phamilies and we often spent many special moments with them during my childhood.  I know my folks were shining down on us from heaven along with our son-in-law Roger and my niece Carrie's husband John. They were sorely missed by all.  The values I was raised with stick with me. I enjoyed the company of those we spent time with yesterday and also thought about how proud my mom and dad would be seeing everyone together.

Make the effort to try to be with those you grew up with. Those who love you even when you may think they don't. It was a blessing for me to see everyone, to chat with my nephew Rudy who I babysat long ago and to meet his four children. It was nice to see my sister-n-laws younger brother Bud and his precious wife Anne Marie. She is special to me because we both share the same given name. Having my other big brother Ed and his wife Cheri, my soul sister there along with three of our five children was a real treat. Ed and Cheri celebrated 54 years of marriage in June. Makes my heart happy.

Joyful moments, beautiful blessings, making memories.

 

Noelle takes excellent photos and I still need to check with Rebekah and Zach to get there copies too. What a fun day. 

love is...knows my heart.....

Sparks...

Aw...Mondays and Love is...

 

Aw...Mondays

This was too cute not to share. The wording will not enlarge argh.....but carefully repeat the sequence of letters. Have a wonderful week.

Even Ove is...has the right notion. That should be across the board, no hate speech allowed for anyone. We can be different, think different, act different and still spread K I N D N E S S !

Love sharing with Sparks. Sending some love and kindness to Annie even though she is not online.
