I'm Back.... Yes, I am ~

Yes, Really, I am back and getting a post ready..So see ya soon with pictures and stories :)

Hummer Love~

I have been enjoying what little Spring

we have seen so far....

Have you ever ever ever..

seen anything

So precious?

Sunshine, Beautiful Sunshine~

The Sun finally came out yesturday....

and I was able to get the light and yellow and sun and beauty
through my lens...

Imagine...

Look at that ~

Well,

Surgery is over!

The pain is better!

The boy..

Relieved...

No more pain in his eyes.....

Of course I could not resist a message of my own!!!

And here is the new kitchen sink...errr hardware..

Not on my sink!

What a bunch of metal (titanium)

and

screws..

But already he feels better...

or

Is it just good meds..thus far?

Don't know but we are

both so THANKFUL for

all your

PRAYERS!!!!

Now let's get on with Spring....

shall we!

Muwahhhhhh oxox

You just never know~

It's hard to know what road your life will take,

We, Joe and I, trust the Almighty

to lead us down the path He thinks is best for us.

But, lets face it,

we are human and we worry about everyday things,

just like you I am sure, right!

But right now,

I did not realize that, that path would take this horse

loving man, back into an operating room so soon!

But here we go again....

Pray for him ok....

On the lighter side of life...Before we knew this new path we would walk, Joe bought a rescue horse and is spending what time he can before surgery getting to know her...No one knew her name so he named her: Calamity Jane....she will fit in real nice with the "Out Law" Belle Starr!

and Charlie??? Well she will be heading to Wyoming to be with Joey again...

Yep, life has a lot of twist and turns.. But thats ok.....

I have been spending my free time with these projects...

Knitting a poncho.... Learning Furr Elise on this beauty....

and getting to know my new camera "baby"

So for now this is my life and I love it...

But I do covet your prayers for

my sweetheart!

Blessings oxoxo

San Diego~Joe's first 737~

We went to San Diego in February for a church conference...

And

IT

Ruined

ME!!!!

I did not want to leave and the pictures will tell you why!!!

SUN and SHINE

and

SON!

It was a wonderful time !!!!

Joe would probably kill me if he knew I put this picture up of him, his hair is kinda rumpled..

..But Oh well!

Here we are going through security...

We went with some friends...Not me...I wore sandals...easy on, easy off !!!!

Awwww..we ARE a cute couple!!!!!!

Once we were through security
we stopped for breakfast and some
pretty interesting sites..and we had not left Portland yet!!!!
Seriously....50+ years old with PINK hair....OK!!!


I really did feel like a sardine for a bit!
Funny what you can get use to!

Joe getting excited, this was his "first" BIG plane...

He did not have a window sit :(

But when the young MARINE sitting next to us heard it was his first flight,

he gave HIM his SEAT...

What a great young man!!!

And we were off!!!

and a certain someone was pretty tickled!!!

AND this is where his face was planted for the rest of the two hour flight...So cute!

The Sierra Mt. Range

LA

San Diego approach....

When we left Portland it was 30 degrees and cold and snowy...

When we got off the plane it was 78'

Blue and Sunny

Have you EVER looked up close..

NO, really close

to a Palm tree?

Palm.....stuff...

Lovely, Lovely color!

The following is pictures of me and Joe or Joe and I, which ever you prefer..

HOWEVER

this is a disclaimer to looking at me...

It could hurt your eyes!!!!

As I soak up the SoCal SUN!!!

We had a tight schedule

So we could only go to the ocean on our way to the airport on the last day there...

The traffic was well...a lot...

BUT, it was worth it..and well were not driving ...so no biggie!

This a lovely little house!

Wouldn't you say!

I don't know it could have been apartments ????

Joe, Eric, Marie and myself...

Self portraits......

These rocks had been tossed and rolled for "like" EVER...

AMAZING!

Not ME!

People swimming, boarding and if you look closely seals on the rocks...

A very busy place.......

And then it was time to leave :(

I have not looked up this body of water yet..

But thought it was very beautiful!

And then we flew over El Capitain'

Amazing..considering we were at 38,000 feet!!!!

"Half Dome"

And then Late Tahoe!

And just like that....

Back into snow and cold and snow and cold!!!!

Also known as the Cascade Mt. Range.....

And back home.....

It took me a week to get over the "longing" to be back in Paradise.......

But I acclimated to -12 degree and one solid week of snow and wind and no Sun!

I am Thankful for having such a Blessed trip...I can not tell you how amazing the speakers were, and how they made me want to really be a worker bee for Jesus!

And Joe, well he is adicted...I think we will Fly to Utah in April and see Montana and her family and their new house that they just bought...

Perhaps this is the begining of a new phase of life for Joe and I...

I sure hope so!!!!

thanks for stopping by oxoxoxo
