My daughter is going to this restaurant for a business lunch.

I think it looks very yummy! 
I am glad she tries new and fun things!

STRAWBERRIES

Wind in The Trees

There are very few things that are as calming to me as the wind in the trees.
There is something about hearing the rustling and watching the sway and shimmer.
Truly one of my favorite things!

A PERFECT SUMMER DAY

78 degrees
45% humidity
blue sky
9 mile an hour (delightful) breeze
skipping work for the afternoon

My Boy

My son texts me every day, 
Some days several times throughout the day. 
We talk over the phone regularly. 
Once every so often, we Skype. 
Today we did all three. 
My son is an amazing man. 
I am proud to be his mom. 

I love him!!!!!

HAPPINESS

Yes, that is an old keg, on the wooden flat bed
 of a five window old truck.... right in front of me.
This totally made my heart happy! 
And yes, if I could have kissed the driver, 
I would have. 

Fathers Day

PHOENIX HOT!

I Like The Sound Of That

RASCAL FLATTS

I love hearing that shower turn on
Bet there's nothing but a towel on you
You sing along with some Timberlake bumpin'
But he ain't got nothing on you

I don't wanna hear the coffee pouring
A goodbye kiss, then lockin' the door yeah
Sounds like leaving you, ah

It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowing up my phone
Wanna here you say come on over, cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that

Ohhh ohh ohh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Ohhh ohh ohh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that

Love the sound of the thunder roll in
It makes you move a little closer to me
And girl I bet that your neighbors hate us
Cause we could laugh all night and never sleep

We can worry bout the world in the morning
Light up a candle, lock the door
Wanna stay right here with you, yes I do

It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowing up my phone
Wanna here you say come on over, cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that

Ohhh ohh ohh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Ohhh ohh ohh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that

Turn your radio on
Baby turn down the lights
I ain't going nowhere
I'm all yours tonight

It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowing up my phone
Wanna here you say come on over, cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that

Ohhh ohh ohh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Ohhh ohh ohh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Ohhh ohh ohh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Yes I do
Ohhh ohh ohh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Ohhh

A THANK YOU

One of my very favorite clients 
stopped by my office today. 

She is a fun and crazy lady! 
I enjoy her so much!

She brought me this bit of happiness!

I was surprised and delighted!

She pulled her hot pink cell phone out at my desk,

and read the 5 remaining things 
on her bucket list to me. 

Number one is to see Alaska. 

I helped her get that all in place, 
she leaves next week!

She is very excited! I am excited for her!

I adore her!

( When we were done going over 
a few details about her trip, 

and she was ready to leave, 
I told her I would be happy to 

accompany her when she is ready 
to take the next 

item off her bucket list. 

She wants to get a tattoo that says

"SCREAMING SEX" 

She is old enough to be my mother!!

Totally makes me giggle!!!)

QUEEN

Queen of Her Domain! 

Sauerkraut

I LOVE SAUERKRAUT!

SUNRISE

A friend sent this 

photo of the sunrise from

 Fountain Hills, Arizona. 

They say that you take for granted

 the things you see every day. 

I can honestly say

 in all the years I lived in Arizona, 

I never took for granted the 

spectacular sunrises or the sun set. 

What I really miss,  

is the mountains.  

When I was younger I lived in Texas,

there were no mountains there either. 

Maybe it's time for a road trip, 

this girl needs a fix.

PIVOTAL MOMENT

I arrived in Kentucky three years ago today. I was on vacation with my best friend.
I fell in love with Kentucky. It is more beautiful here than I ever imagined it could be.
I knew then that Kentucky is my home and my heart belongs to a Kentucky Man!

Weekend To Do's

Yesterday I slept all day. I think I was catching up all that sleep that didn't happen last week.

Today I needed to do all the things I didn't do yesterday or last week.
The laundry is done, the kitchen is clean, the wood floor is clean and mopped. The bathrooms and bedroom still need some attention.
I also need to get some shopping done today.
So I ate breakfast.
I learned last week, that if I go to the grocery hungry I buy things I shouldn't. (I went to the store for bandages and came home with ice cream too!)
I may need another nap later today, but I'm going to stick to my grocery list for sure! Maybe!!

...and a half

My oldest daughter is 29 and a half today!
Happy happy half birthday my beauty!

Life is Passion...

What is more passionate than a woman?

If a woman can be what she decides to be, 
If a woman can love and follow her own calling,
Then she can determine her own life.

When we admit to our passion we are free.

We can have what we want 
and be who we want to be.

Gummy Bear

Cherry juice,

 Peach juice, Tang

and Simple Syrup!

 As the young man said... 

"You make a pitcher of this

on a hot summer morning, 

and you sip on it all day long!" 

Truly Yummy!!!

Favorite Days

Today is one of my very favorite days.
Twenty Eight years ago today I gave birth to the most beautiful baby.
She was born with strawberry blond hair.
Even though the red hair didn't stick with her, the fabulously feisty personality did!
She is a true delight!!
Happy Birthday Beauty!
