Something's Sprung!!

To the gentle "tings" of my windchimes, I took these pics:)

Thankyou for longer days...

A warmer sun...

And a brighter sky!!!!

Don't you just LOVE Spring.

I Heart This

So... It's kind of like the stars have to be aligned...... It has to snow.... then it has to melt....some. And Wah-Lah! This is the Surprise!

This also happens to be the view out of my kitchen window- How lucky am I? I know this has been there for God only knows how long, however, this has been one of the super fun parts of living where we do. (I actually think WE are the ones who discovered it!) Each year brings the age-old statement- "Oh, look- it's the heart!" So, as I awoke to the soft, cold, white stuff yet again this morning- even after I said "please". I am paying homage to its glorious benefits!


I recently sent this pic to our traveling baby bird and her reply was- "Thank-you! I miss the heart on the mountain"- I mean seriously... Who wouldn't?!

Our sincere Thanks and Gratitude to the Artist:)

Lent...

No... I have not given blogging up for Lent... I'm thinking! Happy Mardi Gras- Now, go buy yourself some pretty beads:)

Happy Birthday, Baby Bird

Wow! Where did the time go?

It seems like only yesterday you were our tiny, little bundle of joy that we had no idea how to care for!

And look at you now!

The past 20 years have been so rewarding! You are such a delightful person that brings an extra ray of sunshine wherever you go:)

Thank-you for making us so proud& Thank-you for being you!

We love you so much.

We got you a little something to celebrate the big day......

But you can't have it until you get home:)

Happy 20th Birthday, baby bird.

Love,

The Hometown Crowd

Donut Sound Fun...

So... A good friend of mine brought me a little surprise yesterday! And- I did not want to hurt anybody's feelings. So.... I ate one of these little beauties! And- I am not sorry. It tasted so good coupled with a Diet Coke:)

I do have a point to this blog-

These came from a

NEW DONUT SHOP IN TOWN....

It is called Sugar Baby's Donut Works

It's located @ 2278 S Redwood Rd

Phone # 975-6381

I know they have a "Happy Hour" Sometime in the morning around 7:00 A.M. and during that time you can get a dozen of these bad boys for $7.50:)

No lie- you need to check this place out- you won't be sorry!

Run- Don't walk.

P.S. Please don't tell my Wii trainer about this blog- She would not be happy at all!

It's All Fun & Games Until Someone Goes Down!

So... We might have bought a new "thingy"....

You can refer to me as the "calorie incinerator", if you like. "They" (the folks @ wii) do. Yeah. Lets just say I can twirl 6 hoola hoops on my hips for 3 minutes! There is no guarantee I will be able to walk tomorrow but for today- Me and my Mii are going to bask in it!!! My official "wii age" is 34 (4 years my jr.). My goal is to lose 21 lbs. in the next three months... We shall see.

Rest assured, I will keep you posted.

*Sorry the plate of sweet rolls got in the way @ the bottom of the pic- I took care of those little buggars right after I finshed my workout! lol

What Next????

We broke her of the Binky....

Now it's time for her to find a job!!!

Disclaimer: I really do love my dog- she is about the coolest thing ever! And besides that- no one else in the house was up for a photo shoot! I will let you know if she gets the job!!!
