Celebrate The Small Things -- September 26

It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.

This week I'm celebrating the cooler weather!  I love seeing the colors of the leaves change, and the cooler days, and much cooler nights.  Fall, for me, always seemed like a new start...probably because our school year started in September when I was younger.  The new year was always exciting, and scary, all at the same time.  The smell of a cool, crisp, autumn day always brings back fond memories.  Welcome Fall...you are my favorite season. 

Happy Weekend!

Celebrate The Small Things -- Sept 19

It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.

This week I'm celebrating not getting to second base with the TSA on my flight home!  It's a miracle!  The nice thing about flying out of (or into) bigger airports is that they have those x-ray machines.  The x-ray machine means less of a chance that I get intimate with the TSA, but it does mean that they get to see me naked in the machine LOL.

I'm also celebrating my bed.  After sleeping on an air mattress for a week it was really nice to sleep in my own bed last night.

And last, but not least, I'm celebrating my husband and kiddos.  I've missed them so much!  It's good to be home :)

Happy Weekend!

Celebrate The Small Things --September 12

It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.

This week I'm celebrating not getting to second base with the TSA on my flight out to visit with my brother!  Fingers crossed that they don't molest me on the way back either.

Also, my brother is coming back from his trip even earlier than the original earlier-ness that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.  So I'll see him tomorrow night!  So happy about this!

And the two best small things to celebrate...my adorable niece and nephew.  I just want to squeeze them to bits :)  If I was at all tech savvy I'd insert a picture now so you can see for yourself just how cute they are...but I have no idea how to do that with my Kindle, so you'll just have to imagine the cuteness.

Please don't be offended if I don't respond or blog hop this weekend...I'll have to catch up next week when I get home!  Vacation, and the chicklets, call...

Happy Weekend!

Sunflowers For Tina #LifeIsGood

Just a couple of weeks ago a very beautiful spirit left this world.  I never met her, but she befriended me this April during the A to Z Challenge.  She said that we "had to be friends" because we had so much in common :)  How could I say no to that?  Tina was always there to lend a few words of positivity and truly believed that "Life Is Good".

Tina you will be missed.  God Bless you!  May the Lord give your family peace and love during this terrible time.  I hope that it brings your family some comfort by seeing how much influence your spirit had in this world...with people who never even had the privilege to meet you face to face.

I didn't plant a sunflower, or buy one...I'm afraid that at this point in the season they won't grow fully.  But...I promise that next spring I will plant a whole handful in your honor!  Below is a pic of the sunflowers that grow in one of my neighbors backyards.  She gave me permission to post her pic.

Rest in Peace sweet lady...

The family has also set up the Downey Education Fund, which will go toward a college fund for Tina’s two boys. You can donate via this link: - See more at: http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/#sthash.9Dey9BOc.dpuf
