WE HAD A WEDDING

This is our happily
ever after....

[My daughter, son in love
and granddaughter]

[this was the best from several
shots , silly kids;)]

[my boys]

[my daughter, granddaughter,
& two daughter in loves]

[unknown photographer]

[the newest member of the family]

Thank you for all the emails
and phone calls wishing the
my family the best. I am so
happy to announce there is
another Mrs. Tims now in
the family.

We hosted the rehearsal dinner
Friday night, complete with a
nature fairy, then went to bed
to rest for the next day's wedding.
As we slept an unusual winter
storm was forming and hit Saturday
morning. The temperature dropped,
it rained and the wind blew with
gusts up to 50 mph, not good at any
time, but especially not good when
you are having an outdoor wedding ;)
While the wind and cold have continued
to stay, the rain moved out in plenty of
time for a beautiful wedding ceremony.

Remember all the hard work to knit my
shawl to wear with my dress? Well, I
did get to wear a shawl just not the one
I planned and with a completely different
dress. Sigh. At least I have a complete
outfit to wear somewhere when the weather
warms back up.

I took very few photos the day of the wedding,
but should have some back from the photographer
soon to show you. In the end it turned out to be a
fabulous day with lots of laughter, dancing, wedding
cake, hugs and the boding of two families, to me
it was perfect!

This is just another stepping stone in my happily ever
ever after that began over 32 years ago, I can't wait to
see what's next!

THE LAST SUMMER WEEKEND

When you arise in the morning,
think of what a precious privilege
it is to be alive, to breathe, to think,
to enjoy, to love.

~Marcus Aurelius

The long weekend brought

my favorite six year old!

There were early mornings,

and wearing funny hats,

watching movies and reading

my favorite book as a child.

Making smoothies and her

discovering I put spinach

in them [oops],

making the best pot holders ever,

a son hanging my pallet shelves,

a return of the heat and humidity,

and trying to catch dragon flies [or

fairies if you believe hard enough].

I love that little girl!

Today brought the first day of school

since a certain young man was ready to

start. I have also been informed he

wants to double up on mathematics,

the one subject I really don't like, sigh.

Oh well, it's going to be a great year,

I can feel it!

NOTE TO SELF

Note to Self

Treat yourself the way you
would treat a small child.
Feed yourself healthy food &
make sure you spend time outside.
Put yourself to bed early.
Let yourself take naps.
Don't say mean things to yourself.
Don't put yourself in danger.
{Your skull and your heart are
still fragile as eggshells.}

My weekend was spent at
HOME.
My haven.
My sanctuary.

A little rest.
A little play.
A little crafting.

I signed up to do a test knit.
I made up a cracker recipe.
I watched a grand dog play.

There were a few naps.
There was a long walk.
There was quiet.

Now I'm ready for the week.

Joining Karen.

{Note: Miss Bette is not hurt in
the photo with my grand dog
Elsie, they are playing, promise}

WEEKENDING

A [grand] daughter is a gift of love.

~Author Unknown

This weekend has been...

cowgirl boot wearing,
nature walks,
coloring,
hugs,
berry picking,
watermelon eating,
knitting,
laughing,
cat loving,
reading books
out loud...

and the week promises
to hold more of the same.
