It's about time!

I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted anything on this blog! I decided that it is 2009 and time for changes! That seems to be the operative word ... change. I have no idea what the new year will bring, but I do know one thing for sure. I am moving forward! I am going to make some changes in me! Maybe because I will be turning another big number in 2009? or maybe I just feel God nudging me to move on with my life. So for starters, I am attending a seminar at the end of the month. You may want to take a look at it... Soul Renovation! http://www.soulrenovation.com/the-experience/. I really have no idea what to expect, but I do know that I will come away with something! and that something should be a positive change in me.
I also have discovered holistic medicine which is also a change from everything I know. It started with major pain in my arm and shoulder 6 months ago. Since I didn't want to have surgery as an option I decided to try out some alternative treatments. The whole thing has led me to healthier eating, soul searching and just in general taking better care of myself. I'd love to say that my arm is totally healed, but it is 90% better and I anticipate complete healing! Stay tuned for more updates. ... I promise to be better at keeping this blog going.

The Big Fish Story

The boys (George, Jeff, Skeeter, Chas and Ryan) are home from their fishing tournament and although they didn't win the marlin contest, they scored big time! So much fish we don't know what to do with it all! I'll never say they can't catch fish again! They proved they can do it!

A Wonderful Birthday!

Well, I'm another year older and more blessed with each passing year! I had such a wonderful day ... not only was I surrounded by my family but also my buddy Mary was here to help me celebrate! I got so many calls, emails and cards ... Thank you all!
George took us to Ruth's Chris for a delicious dinner and Nikki made me her famous Cheesecake for dessert! It actually was a whole week of celebrating. George was so sweet to take me out to dinner almost every night of my B-day week, and then I was able to celebrate on Monday with my favorite chickies! Next year is a biggie! Yikes!
I love you all! xoxox

Road Trip

We just got home from a wonderful trip to visit Mike and Vikki in June Lake, and then onto Lake Tahoe to see Stan and Mary. The drive up and back on 395 is soooo beautiful! It was fun to see the Bauer's new house and had a wonderful dinner with them. We arrived in Tahoe to beautiful sunny skies and it was so nice to spend time with our dear friends. They are perfect hosts! Great meals, wonderful cruises on the Lake aboard the Bobsled, relaxation on the beach, and beautiful walks through the forest down to the Lake. Thank you!
