Things to LOVE this week

Today I was delivering some things to a friend and her yard was BLOOMING with little blue Glories of the Snow flowers dotted with a few white Snow Drop ones. These are the kind that are abt 2" tall. It was so beatuiful to see some color in the otherwise 'not awake yet' world of ours.

So, this weeks things to love:
Little spring flowers
Snow on the mountains - not in the yard
Easter candy at half price
New little babies - my friends Angie & Doug had the 2nd child this past week - welcome Leah Smith.
Traveling to Hyrum (near Logan, UT) for my job
Homemade rolls (my sister Patty sent me their family recipe)
and most important - all the blessings I have received by just being alive

Happy Easter

To day is a wonderful day. The sun came out. The birds are flying everywhere stretching their wings. My friends Angie & Doug have just brought a new baby girl - Leah. The neighbors had their annual Easter egg dye/hunt in their back yard. The churches are full of songs and full hearts. The first flowers of spring are blooming. And people are sharing all these experiences with their family and friends. Blessings on all of you.

Things to love

Like everyone else who says "my how time flys", I too can't imagine where the week has gone. It seems like just yesterday I was on here posting abt the things I love. But a whole week has gone by and I didn't post anything. I can tell you though, that I have been reading lots of blogs. There are some that are very amazing. Like my friend Sondra's childrens blogs. They are very creative and can do a better job at posting than I can. Kudos to Sondra - she's a great Mom to her kids. Some of the things I love this week are:
Riding in the car down a country road (going to Colorado this week for work)
Flannel Sheets
Little pink buds on the Peach Tree (a cousin recently added a new blossom to the family tree - Trevor Nathanial Heaps born 2-20-08)
New buds on the peach tree in our yard
A puppy trying to get attention when no one is paying attention to them
A new type salad on a menu
Phone calls to family members who are loved and who love me

Happy PATTY's Day

I just to take the time to say HaPpY BiRthDay to one of my younger sisters... Patty Yup - she was born on St. Patty's Day. I love her so much. She's an inspiration to us all. She's been working very hard at reshaping her image - litteraly. She's been dilligently riding her bike, going to the gym several times a week all just to be slimmer and more healthy. It's been working and I'm very proud of her. She's even participated in 2 road races on her bike and finished all 25+ miles. Such discipline! I love you sis...

Things to LOVE this week

I recently viewed a blog that had this kind of entry every week. I think it's a great idea to put this kind of thoughts to screen. We all need to be more thankful for the little things. Here are a list of things for this week.

the beautiful colors of spring approaching
sunday nothings
frost melting off neighbors roofs
happy news + celebrations
figuring out future plans
friends bellies popping out all around (babies are a comin')- how many do you know of? I know of 5

Grandpa's window to his world

This picture of my Dad's Dad - James Patrick Browne on the day of his daughter Erin Rose's wedding June 1949/Seattle. The glasses were given to me last year out of some of his belongings. He died in Nov 1949. One of the lenses was missing so I had a new one put in to match the remaining one. The perscription was a single of a +150 strength. I love it when you have old things that were actually part of a picture. He must be smiling down on me cause I put this all together. I wish I would have known him.

Where have you been?

First of all, a few answers.
"Where have you been?" I have been here all along. I just haven't had anything pressing, or of importance to say. I have been just out doing my daily duties. I have been too busy with life. I have been busy reading some of my favorite blogs and books. And, don't forget, I do work.
"Are you coming back?" Oh, I'm coming back. Like, right now.
"How are things going?" Things are going.
"Do you still partake of the sweet juices of the Gods" (a.k.a. WATER)
Yes, yes I do and it equals lots of flushing.
That was weird.
Well, I'm sure you've been wondering and thank you for thinking abt why I haven't been writing hourly. Whatever though, it is nice to be missed. And it'll be good because leave it to my world to shake things up the first minute I sit down in I don't know how long to write an entry. In the few short minutes I have sat here my roomies have managed to become restless because I have been negligent in paying attention to them. Where have you been?
Such is life...

The Key

Nothing happens to us without purpose. what we do because of it, what we do about it, is the key to who and what we are.

Lonely Pie Eats

Sometimes eating alone can be a good thing (you get to eat all the pie yourself. But on the other hand it can be very lonely - there's no one to share the experience with. I got this pic of the blog of a friend. I hope she doesn't mind. But I just loved this pic.
