I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. 

I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him. 

~Abraham Lincoln

What are your thoughts this year about this event?

I know my memories of this day will never leave my mind...but the older I get the more I see my heart changes.
It's like I am softer to this.
I was scared and angry before.
Now, I feel saddened.
I am sad for the families, I am sad for the country, I am sad for what's happening in NYC right now with the fighting over the mosque plans.

BUT...I am proud of what we have become.
I am proud of what my children have learned.
I am proud of the fact that we are better because of it.

What about you?
Write it down. Let your children and their children know where you were, how you felt and what you have learned since.

Delicious autumn!

My very soul is wedded to it,

and if I were a bird I would fly about the

earth seeking the successive autumns.

 ~George Eliot

Tis the month that Autumn starts. I know that most places around Arizona are still smoldering in the 95+ degree weather....but maybe we can all will in Fall with a few thoughts or comments of MY favorite time of the year.

Let's hear it.....

What do you love about September?

NFL starts? (that's my husbands)

soccer season starts? (that's my kids)

Halloween decorations start to appear in the stores?

What is it?

Birthday Birthday why do you punish me?

Yes, that's right....my big 35 b-day is just a few days away and I just can't imagine how I got here. I am still so young in my heart, until I look in that darn mirror and see that silver hair and wrinkles looking back at me, and then reality hits me!

This year I am going to focus on the GOOD LIFE!

Please write some of your fondest birthday memories?
-the fun cake?
-the fun location?
-the coolest gift?
-the embarrassing moment?
-what year has been the hardest to celebrate?
-what age is old to you?

BACK TO SCHOOL

Oh, the memories and smells of the first day of school. I loved it and hated it at the same time. Where I came from you knew everyone you went to school with. You either knew them or their older/younger sister. It was a ball and so exciting.

what are some of the things you remember when going to the first day of school?

Smells of fresh pencil lead?

New Locker combo?

Finding your desk?

Singing songs?

Being shy?

Trying to decide if you liked your teacher or not?

Looking for the cutest boy in your class?

Smells of paper and chalkboards?

What come to mind?
