It's Been One Year

-
It has been one year since we moved to Colorado.
It's hard to believe that it has been that long.
We have been blessed in many, many ways during this year.
Here are some of the blessings in very random order.
  • We have been able to stay in touch with our friend in Texas. Facebook, e-mail, frequent visits by Karen, and David's continued Texas Real Estate have made it relatively easy to keep in touch.
  • We have been blessed with a wonderful new church home and have made so many wonderful friends there. David has even been asked to be an elder.
  • We left Texas with one grandson and now have 3 precious grandsons. Being semi retired has allowed me more time to spend with them.
  • We have had several visitors come and stay with us and have gotten to see other friends who have come to visit Jeremy and Mandy.
  • David is blessed to be working with Real Estate clients in both Houston and Colorado Springs.
  • I have a new job working with undergraduate students at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and will continue to work with graduate students at the University of Houston Clear Lake.
  • After leasing a home for 9 months, we bought a new home and moved in at the first of May. We love it.
  • And last, but certainly not least, we have had new adventures including learning to live in a snowy climate. The winter was long, but the summer has been so worth living through winter. We have decided that big changes definitely keep you young!
A special thank you to each of you who follows this blog and who has kept up with our Colorado Adventure this year. Come up and see us!

I'm thankful that you still have opportunities to make it back this way to Houston from time to time, so we never have to really say good bye.

Hugs,

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?
