it is interesting....

 how much you realize this after someone you love passes away

a friend told me how she use to occasionally go to wakes/ funerals if it was convenient
and then her dad died.  since then she realized how much it meant to think people cared
so much.



remember -  forget yourself for others and they will never forget you......

never.

and this...

dianna's beautiful wedding

loved snuggling these beautiful babies.  we are so blessed to have these little ones in our family.

and you should run out and buy this.  it's dense, thick, moisturizing and smells like a pumpkin pie.
and it's only $4.99.

while you are there be sure to pick up a block of this cheese.  honestly it might be the best cheese
i have ever eaten.  seriously!

hope you are having a great tuesday.

life is all about change...

changing seasons
changing clocks
things are always changing.

it was a crazy busy weekend and i really didn't get enough pictures or sleep but it is all documented in my head.  i already miss my friend.  4 days together and boom -  she was gone again.  but it was such a fun weekend... we miss your laughter.

and like sara said -  "patti is the glue that holds us together."

there were beautiful autumn leaves ...  florida doesn't have this ...

 

gorgeous skies.... florida does have this.

 

                                                wonderful food (thank you tony)

                                                                       surprises....

                                                               and wonderful friends...

i'm thankful for the kilometer of mileage i got from these 4 days of laughter....
please come back soon.

Let's Go Red Sox!!!!

love it.

yesterday i received a card in the mail from a friend.  really, it truly made my day.  it brought me back to childhood when getting something in the mail was so much fun. i get tons of mail every day mostly junk, bills, and occasionally,  an invitation.  so it was such a sweet surprise. it reminded me how such a gesture can mean so much.  it has inspired me to have a few cards on hand to send out for a spontaneous pick me up.  a simple note that just might make someone's day.

 i know it did mine.
