My Neighborhood Seagulls!

These little guys hang out at the local lake in our subdivision. I absolutely love the seagulls. Beautiful, wonderful little animals. I can't get enough pictures of them.

Well this finds me tired but wanting to post here tonight. I'm heading to bed but wanted to say that the day was really pretty good overall. It started a bit stressful but ended nicely with a quiet, easy evening.

Hubby might be home tomorrow, not sure yet. We'll see what comes. He's supposed to go to a Dr's appointment.

I was supposed to take the day and upload my new Adobe CS4 program onto the computer but that didn't happen today and now I'm not sure if it will tomorrow. Sooo in the mean time just enjoy the photo and think happy, good thoughts. I'll stop tomorrow.

My Book Cover

I wanted to post this here because it's another 'happy spot' for me. I enjoyed writing the book, overall, with my sisters. By doing this I can say we were all published authors at the same time.

Writing the stories of our childhood is proving to be fun and a lot of work. It is fun to be able to share our times with others who might share some of the same memories throughout their lives.

I think it's interesting that we found all ages like the stories and they help them remember their own stories after reading them. That is part of what we wanted to accomplish with the book and I see we've done that.

We are beginning work on the second book and hope to have it ready by late this year or early next.

Today has been good but a bit topsy turvy to say the least. We got a late start and then the time slipped by and we missed lunch and it became a problem, so finally at 3:oo p.m. we began getting lunch. It's now 4:47 p.m. and we've just finished. So I'm not sure what supper is going to be about. Interesting or problematic - I don't know yet which it will be.

My show, "The Amazing Race" will be on tonight so I want to have things done so I can watch it. I like it a lot. One of the reason's I stopped by this early. I may not get the chance later.

Ready For A Book.

I like the picture in this post. I took it the other morning when there was light fog in the area. I was glad to see I positioned the camera to catch the shot with the sun illuminating it and the fog.

It's been a busy day and I'm ready to settle down with a book or something. Hubby left on work today and my daughter is out for the evening so it's just been my twin sister and me at home tonight. Had a good meal, watched some TV and worked on the computer.

The day was nice and sunny with the wind blowing. The temps were in the high 70's or low 80's, I'm not sure.

Just wanted to stop by and post as it's been a good day and I like coming here. This is a good site for me. I'll stop by again.

My Baby Girl.

See, how very pretty she is. I'm here at my happy spot trying to find peace. My daughter is so very unhappy tonight. Something that was supposed to happen may not be able to right now and she needs it to happen. My heart aches when she's sad.

I always try to remain hopeful and positive but sometimes it's quite hard to do so.

See, she is another of my happy spots in my life. We've transcended to best friends most of the time. We're both aware we're mother/daughter but it's nice to be one of her best friends also. I like being with her and sharing her confidences. I just want her life to turn out good, happy and joyful for her.

My happy spot little girl!!

My Pretty Palm Tree

My palm tree blowing in the wind this winter. It's in front of some cloud passing by. I love this one.
had a great Easter yesterday. It was fun with the kids being here. Dustin was, of course, the star of the day. We had such fun playing Pirate with him fighting with the foam swords and hook. He has such a great imagination.
Today has been pretty good. Took my time working on the computer, went to the grocery store with Heather, took Jen for a ride, chatted with Lonnie on the phone (he's on his way home) and now back at the computer for awhile. I also chatted with Lynn about things today. She's finally (I hope) done with editing Blonde Chills. I hope it's clean as a whistle so she'll not have to go back again. Had some fun working with Jen on genealogy for our families. Trying to get through my sites for the night then sit and try to finish the book I'm reading.

Happy Easter 2010

We celebrated Easter this year privately. Each prayed or did their own way of observing the religious aspect of the holiday. Otherwise, my family came together to visit and spend time together over the holiday meal. My hubby, Lonnie, couldn't be here as he was sent on a load to Pennsylvania. My son, DIL and grandson came over to share the day with my daughter, sister and me. It was a good day. Dustin was a charmer and all around good boy today. We taught him a new game, Candyland, and he did quite well - he even won on of them. We shared our meal, laughed, chatted and spent several hours together. It was so nice and enjoyable. Then after they left, my sister, daughter and I went for a short ride then came home for the rest of the day. It's been a quiet evening and I'm almost ready to call it a day. Think I'll try to finish my book. It's the second book in the Jan Karan series about a fictional town named, Mitford, featuring Father Tim and the townspeople.

I'll stop by again.

Quiet Day Today.

This is a picture of the trunk of the palm tree in my front yard. I thought it was interesting. It has lots of color variations and shapes. I hope you enjoy it.
Today has been fairly quiet for me. I've been home most of the day alone. Was able to get some things done but mostly enjoyed the quiet.
Hoping to feel better after going to the doctor yesterday. Have some meds to take. I guess it could be sinus/allergies/cold or something. They are just not sure.
I've been watching and listening to some tutorials for my new Adobe CS4 software package I got yesterday. Now I hope I know how to operate it. Such a big program. Guess I'll be getting some books for it to help me out.
Pretty day outside, the sun is shining, temps are probably in the high 70's or low 80's. I've got to run out to get supper stuff but I'll stop by again if I can today.
