Colorado Visitors

-
A couple of weeks ago, we had a delightful visit from my brother Terry and his wife Gail, and my sister Kim and her husband Randy. WARNING! This post contains many, many photos, but we were all taking pictures and it was just too hard to choose. If it makes you feel any better, I probably did NOT include about 200 or more pictueres.
Caleb and his dad and Ducca enjoying a burro ride at the Royal Gorge.
Terry and me taking a break at the Garden of the Gods hike.

Aaron enjoyed the Royal Gorge, but most of all his lunch.
You notice that David didn't pose with the Texas flag on the Royal Gorge Bridge.
Each state had a flag.

Everyone stayed at the Gibson hotel, but we strolled the beautiful grounds of the Broadmoor.
The weather was gorgeous except for the first day when it was a little chilly.
Can you tell we liked the Garden of the Gods? We went twice.

Obviously Terry and Kim are stronger than their big sister.
Cripple Creak was very interesting and a beautiful drive.
If you want to see any more pictures, just ask any of us.
We'd be happy to share.

Looks like you guys had a great time. You've been blessed with a lot of company this year--makes the transition easier, I find.

Loved all the photos,

Love Present from a Friend

-

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
