Paul not only got to attend his parent’s dinner for he, his siblings and their spouses, but he got to attend a special family gathering last Saturday, complete with wedding cake.… Read more →

Post #34 – SURPRISE! for 50 years of Marriage
Now this is a different sunrise than normal! Because these are actually aerial photos of Arenal Volcano and Lake.

Post #33 – Art in the Home
Good Morning. My emotions are a bit on the surface this morning. I think I’m tired. I don’t sleep as well with Paul not home. I was waiting to share that he was out of town until after he got back, but I think my “we have EVERYTHING for sell” post gave that away. I’ll have to post his surprise… Read more →

Post #28 – Trying to Breath.
The sky was filled with puffy, happy clouds this morning. I honestly don’t know what I would do without my sunrises right now. Yesterday the sky was completely white. I kept the curtains closed so I wouldn’t have to see it. But today dawned hopeful and bright. There was a hint of rose in the distance (to the left of… Read more →
