Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day, friends!  
Do you have special plans for this day of love?  We will be having a family cookout and enjoying the nice weather.  There may be some chocolate involved at some point since hubby and son both know how it puts a smile on my face. :)

Much love to you all,
Marie

Top Notch Cuteness

Hubby & I watched "Super Squirrel" on National
Geographic channel a couple of nights ago.  It was so funny!  
God gave these little rascals some serious talents and built in tools.  
If you get the chance to watch it I highly recommend it. :)

Sharing all this cuteness with my friends.
Happy weekend!

this is a youngster and must be hungry to be so far from a tree.

this one is building a  nest.
he or she took a break on this branch and then jumped
to a large pine tree and straight to the top this cutie went.

my grandmother loves blue birds.
I love my grandma. :)

Love to hear our Carolina Wrenns sing.
Most of the time it's the first bird I hear in the morning
and the Cardinals are usually  the last bird I hear in the evening.

Valentine's Day 2015!

Happy Valentine's Day to my blogging family!!! 

I love & appreciate the kindness, respect, support, advice, tears & laughter that 

we all share!

XOXOXO's to all of you from me! 

Since we received a handheld scanner for Christmas, hubby has been scanning a lot of sentimental photos and cards.  So, today I will share a few precious items with you.  

This is a Valentine card that Kyle made for me 

when he was in Kindergarten.  

I love you, my sweet boy, Kyle.

                                                     

      This is Kyle and I at Silver Springs in Florida.  

  Kyle loved SS because of all the animals.  

 This is the mother, there was a baby Giraffe as well.

This is me and hubby before we became husband & wife.

As my Granddaddy Alphin would say,

we were still courtin'.  :)  

I love you, Craig.

  

This is Sami, Kyle's first puppy dog.

Here she had gone to my parents coastal home with us.

She loved the boat almost as much as 

Kyle loved her..

the date is off by about 7 yrs. lol

It's all about 
LOVE...

Afternoon at the Park with My Son Part 3

Hi friends!  I have been really busy with life. :)  I will be catching up with everyone's blog soon!  
We will be soon getting our Christmas decorations up.  We have neighbors that already have pretty lights on their houses.  I do love the lights and beautiful Christmas music.
I'm posting a few more pics from our visit to the park.  My son and I both enjoy the outdoors and animals, but I'm not into camping....go figure. :)

We got a great surprise when we looked up and her came three Sandhill Cranes!
I just caught them landing!

I wish I could have gotten better pics of these beautiful birds.  The camera I was using is 5 MP and 12 optical.
It was a cloudy day so, I was at the mercy of nature.  :)  

Pretty Pods

It's time again to show off MadSnapper's Grandchildren.  Hubby and I are so proud of our beautiful Poincianas! They now have so many pods!  I have to tell you, it has been so cool to watch them grow from seeds that Sandra and Bob sent us into these lovely flowers.  Every time a bloom leaves us these pods grow right in behind them!  So cool and amazing!  Hubby will be transplanting more in the next couple of days, basically we will have Poincianas and Powder Puffs all over our yard. :)

Happy Sunday my friends!

Happy Friday Friends

Both faith and fear sail

into the harbor of 

your mind, but

only faith should

be allowed to anchor.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday!  I have a to do list a mile long, but right now I'm about to check out all the fabulous blogs I follow and see what my friends are up to. :)

Hugs!

One Year Blogging Anniversary

One night I followed the voice of my heart and here I am.

It's been a year since I started my blog and I had no idea what to expect when starting "Women Talk About Life".  I do know that I'm following some incredible blogs and getting to know the wonderful people that created them.  My very first follower was Judy aka Squirrel Queen.  What was so ironic is that I absolutely LOVE squirrels!  I asked Squirrel Queen so many questions about blogging and she was always happy to help me. :)  In the past year I have found myself thinking about some amazing people from all corners of the world.  I have laughed with you, cried for some and prayed for all.  And I've made friends with people I may never meet.  I'm not a good writer or close to being a photographer, but what I do have is passion for life, people, animals and nature.  I hope that while visiting my blog everyone does see and feel my passions.  I really love blog land and all of you wonderful, caring bloggers!  Thank you all for your kind words, support, advice and time. :)

I'm blessed and I know it...I thank him every day.

This is a music box that I have (it's on the backside).  It plays the song "Let It Be".
I like what this says and I read it at least weekly.
Down below I uploaded the song from Youtube in case you would like to listen to it.

Happy Friday!

Have a great day friends!

This is Roxanne Love looking at me through the kitchen window. 
She's my baby girl!

Happy New Year Friends!

A brand new year 2012 is here,
Open your heart and be of good cheer.
A year full of promise and good things to come.
In your list of resolutions, let good deeds be one.
Help one another and give of your love,
for that will be pleasing to the Father above.

Friendship

            Friends are God's way of taking care of us.

A real friend is one who walks in when
the rest of the world walks out.
