a season

since the beginnings of April... I entered a season.
It was a season that was new to me....
it was full of excitement, passions, and many new twists and turns....
leaving me barely time to exhale...
let alone blog.

but~ it was amazing.
I cant wait to reflect back and share with you what I have learned....
so much has happened~
and I am so grateful that this season appeared in my life.

But I am back,
ready to link up, connect back together...
and be present with you, my friend.



"Time is to slow for those who wait, to swift for those who fear, to long for those who grieve, to short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is an eternity."
Henry VanDyke

8

how does this happen....
your 8, and I'm still 30 (right!~ as I wash that grey right out of my hair... again!)

all I have to say~ is you rock!
you inspire me to be my all in all....
and your sweet blue eyes~
are gonna get you into trouble one day.
(I have to tell you that... so that you know~ I'm onto you!)
Happy Birthday sweet Monkey!

I know that one day you will be a contractor, a teacher, a xylophone player in an orchestra, a mountain climber, surfer, and an astronomer.... but first and foremost ~ you are my son!

I feel like....

yep... that says it all!

I wish I had the time to sit here and talk to you all.... I really do...
but, I have been busy... planning a birthday for my youngest.  Easter Sunday Dinner for 16 peeps (not the marshmallow kind... but we had them there!)... and packing.
This girl is taking the family on a much needed vacation... to an island where beaches, pools and cabana boys bring pretty drinks with umbrellas.

I have my earbuds, my books, some yarn.... and sunscreen!
so, see you soon, oh faithful blog friends!

I will have much to share... I promise!

working on...
