and yet one more.. is there a theme here? lol

and another friendship ;)

renewing friendships

palm springs pretties...

here we goooooooooooooo...

Only eight days...not bad..that makes it 3 times this month. Was a good week. Not much happened which in itself makes it good! Dinner out twice this week with gf's .. the stuff grown ups do when their kids no longer live at home! But on that note, I must say, I do miss them muchly.

My weekend in Palm Springs was lovely. Weather in mid to high 80's, skies clear and blue ..good friends, great conversation, lots of fun.. (shopping, shopping, shopping..lol). We shopped (including yard sales AND Walmart..hehe), ate, jacuzzied, danced and then did repeat of it all..lol

The week/weekend prior were spent recovering from the Reunion weekend, which by the was turned out wonderfully and was LOTS of fun! I just received another email yesterday from an alumni that was telling me what a great time he had. Can you imagine...I think I'm going to do this one more time! haha

The WEEKS prior to that event were spent finishing up the event, working, and doing the forever project of creating a home out of bags and boxes. I know you have all been waiting patiently to see what my place is looking like..and you if you are very nice, and I am so inclined...maybe I'll even post a couple of pics this weekend..haha.

Okay...blisters on fingers now as I'm not used to typing so much..hehe ;-)

Will be back...til then, stay safe and well

going in reverse...

Not as long as it's been before...not as often as it could be. Apologies to those that actually still read, or attempt to read my blog..lol.

I have decided I'm going to attempt to catch up by blog by going in reverse. So, I'll start from now and go backwards to when I moved.

HOWEVER, this will not begin until next week! laughing... sorry...but going out of town for the weekend for a couple days of sun and relaxation!

until then..stay safe and well

feeding time, up close and very personal!!  

new baby black rhino, less than 6 hours old...too cute 

beautiful bride.. 

blah, blah, blah...oopps..blog, blog, blog!

I can't beleive it's been almost 3 weeks since I was here. I've been at other bloggers sites, just not at my own. No excuses, no apologies, just crazy busy..and would much rather chat with ya then type here! No promises but will try and do better.

Next 10 days will be really busy as we prepare for our 35th High School Reunion which will be on Saturday, October 14th. My favorite band is playing.. friends I haven't seen for probably 30 years will be there.. have a new dress...lol All is well....so far, that is! ;-) Will post pics after the event...and if you're lucky, might even be one of me there..lol

Some days/nights in the middle of my stress...I sit down and bead for a bit. Lucky me, that paid off this weekend when I sold 5 necklaces. A friend of mine is going to have a "jewelry" party for me when I have enough stock. Hopefully beginning of next month, extra holiday money is always nice.

Posting a couple of pics from wedding I shot on 9/23. I'm still trying to get some done from our little trip in early September. Did I tell you guys about that? It really was a lot of fun and a great time with my girls!

Stay safe and well.. until next time
