My Little Miracles 6.27.16: Monday Moments in Gratitude Link-up

Dear ones, Writing this with one eye on the monitor and one eye on my granddaughter Lucia as she swings in her “bunny”.  I looked cross-eyed before…imagine how I must look now! Please pardon the topsy-turvy state of the kids’ apartment…tomorrow is moving day and they have worked so hard to get everything packed while […]

My Little Miracles 6.13.16: Monday Moments in Gratitude Link-up

Sweet friends, It is mid-morning Monday and I am enjoying my first real day of summer vacation.  It is beautiful outside and I am eager to get my day started but wanted to share my little miracles from the past week as I link-up with Shauncey at Simply Shaunacey for her “Monday Moments of Gratitude”.

My Little Miracles 6.6.16: Monday Moments in Gratitude Link-up

Linking up with my […]

My Little Miracles 5.23.16: Monday Moments in Gratitude Link-up

Hey, gals, Started to put an exclamation point up there after ‘girls’ but it hasn’t been an exclamation point-kind-of-Monday. Instead, it was a  L O N G  Monday.  And when I got home, I really didn’t feel like cooking dinner so we were naughty and ordered a pizza.  Sure was good, though!  And there’s a […]

My Little Miracles 5.16.16: Monday Moments in Gratitude Link-up

Friends, I am writing this from the San Antonio airport where I have a two-hour layover before getting home to El Paso at 7:30 tonight.  It is wet and rainy here just as it was in Houston when we took off this afternoon.  But poor El Paso can’t get a drop of rain.  We have […]

Hello!

graphic tee

In what felt like the blink of an eye, I have gone from full-time wife to my sweet husband, hands-on mom to my two beautiful daughters and elementary school librarian to a retired, empty nester with lots of time on my hands. Join me on my journey to rediscover who I am. Glad you are here...
