SOME DAYS

Only you can 
control your future.

~ Dr.Seuss

 Some days, some hours
and even some minutes
are hard,
and when my world becomes
a little too much for me to
handle I step back, exhale,
and try to find the quiet.
 I walk my land
and soak in all
the goodness that
surrounds me.
My Mike celebrated his
53rd trip round the sun
this past weekend. With
the passing of his mama
his days have been hard,
but he always manages
to smile.
I baked his favorite
cake, German Chocolate,
from scratch that I only
bake once a year.
 While Mike had lawyerly stuff
to do in town I slipped away and
spent a few hours at my LYS,
 And now have a new pair of
socks on the needles,
 and yarn for another pair.
Andi, I found pink yarn ;)
 I've spent some time playing
with the camera and trying
to capture Miss Bette Davis's
eyes, aren't they pretty?
My sweet Twinkie even
had a few photos taken.
 I have so much to learn about
the photography thing, but it's
fun practicing each day.
My daughter Erin, son in love John,
and my favorite girl Emerson are in
Barcelona, Spain for spring break,
staying on a boat and taking in the
sights, I love this photo so much
and wanted to share it with you.

Have a most beautiful weekend my
friends,

Much love,
Tracey
XO

    Oh my friend ... There are times that life becomes so hard to accept that each moment is a struggle. ... But I have learned, through prayer mind you, that I just have to take it one breath at a time ... What beautiful eyes you Ms Bette Davis :-) now I'll be singing the song :-) lots of love to you sweet lady.....
