Its been a while...

So I haven't kept up with this blog like I had hoped too. As a matter of fact I only thought about a new post because I mentioned this blog on facebook. Since my last post I took a trip to NYC with my husband and daughter for her 16th birthday, and a trip to Duck, NC with my family and friends (the Simms, Chris, Damon, Devin and Alexander). So I have a long list... My husband, Frank My daughter, Kate Good friends Road trips Good music and playing "Name That Tune" Michael Simon Clinton Kelly Mario Batali Daphne OZ Carla Hall Trees and grass Clouds and the sun Sand on my feet and between my toes Nice cool breeze and gusts of wind The smell of salt water game night a nice cold glass of wine Seeing my daughter in the kitchen Relaxing in a pool Plying with a toddler watching the waves roll in singing "Red Sails In The Sunset" to the ocean Popcilces scnitzel clean air Little Fox and Snoop My birds, and all of the birds who chirp and wake me up in the mornings.

Long time!

Well, it's been a while but life got crazy there for a bit. My Grandmother passed away at the end of April and a lot of my time before then and after has been me dealing with it. So It has been a while so let me start by saying that my daughters birthday is at the end of the month, and I can't believe how big she is! It really does seem like yesterday when I was helping her tie her shoes!

I am thankful for so much, and this past month I had to struggle to remember them all...

Easter

So I am not posting this on Easter, but rather really early in the AM on the next day! Easter was a pretty busy day as we were cooking dinner here for my brother and father. All went well, although a few times I was told to relax and stop fretting over every little detail!

So I am happy for: (In no particular order)
*Warm Weather

*Kate and her wit

*Frank and his ability to cook such great food!

*My Family (my brother, mother, father, grandmother) we sat around today and talked about when my father was a boy...it was nice!

*Wasp killer

*Wasp traps

*Ginger ale (my new favorite drink)

*Yellow flowers (my favorite but I think all flowers are awesome gifts)

*The Simms household (Chris, Damon, Katherine, Alexander and Devin) They were over Saturday and took over the whole day! We all had a blast!

*Babies

*Fluffy white clouds

*Chocolate cake

*Old Photo's
