I Love Spring

Today I woke up to the wonderful smell
of Lilacs! Dan knows that these
are another one of my favorites!
I remember as a kid sitting in a tree
of lilacs for hours! It wasn't until years
later did I figure out they can bring
on a migraine!
Still to this day they cause the same
effect! This bouquet will stay in for
a day and then they most go outdoors!

Tonight Dan came home with two more
Lilac Bushes!
I took this photo of him sitting
out back with the Mahonia Bushes

The roses are blooming!
More blooms in our yard, all but the
magnolia, that one I took at the college.
The Grass is GREEN!
Cherry Tree out front
Magnolia
This is the man who blesses me
more than I deserve!
....and Yes that is a Snuggie he's wearing!

Happy Mother's Day

What a great day today was!
We went to church and heard an
encouraging sermon, then home for
a home cooked meal by Brittany
and Kelly! Dan and the girls asked
where I'd like to go to lunch. 
I told them that eating at home is
what I really wanted to do!
The girls made me a wonderful chicken
recipe that I got from my sister Laura!
Thank you for a wonderful lunch!
Thank You for the cards and gifts!
I can't imagine being anywhere 
else on earth than with YOU all!
Dan put on our song!
"It's So Nice To Be With You"
by Gallery.
DK, is very romantic! :)

He is patient while I 
take many photos!
More Dancing!

Palm Coast Florida


I'd like to thank my Husband for working 
so hard! He never complains and He always 
Blesses us with a wonderful vacation! 

Dan works at KPMG (www.kpmg.com) and 
if you watch professional golf, you'll
see Phil Mickelson wearing a
KPMG hat!  He will wear it for the next
three years at every golf related appearance!

Dan I thank God you have a job that 
you love.
I Love YOU!

This year we stayed at Cinnamon Beach 
in Palm Coast, Florida.
If you look real close you can
see Kelly at the end of the pool!
Click on photos to enlarge 
for better viewing.
Kelly feeding the birds.
It's kind of a scary thing to do!
I could take photos of these two 
all day long!
This is one of the toys at the kiddie pool.
I taught Brittany how to Knit! 
She did a great job!
This is why it's called Cinnamon Beach.
The sand is a cinnamon color.
Kelly is always expressing her love
for me!  Love You too Kelly!
We pretty much had the beach to ourselves
except for the Birds!!




This one is "Camera Shy!"
Kelly walking the beach.
It was very private most of the time.
I call this one BritsaKell!
Can you tell which one is which?
