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...

I Love My Veteran Everyday

Thank you, Veterans!  

My hubby was in the Army for 12 years and served in Iraqi Freedom II.  I have an uncle that served in Vietnam and an uncle retired with the Air Force.  I'm blessed to have them all in my life.

This is a picture of my hubby in a Chinook helicopter in Korea.

Tomatoes Anyone?

I've never been fond of tomatoes.  Hubby and I found this cherry tomato plant at Lowes on clearance for only $3!  Hubby takes good care of it, just as he does me. :)  And now, he has me eating tomatoes!  He diced them up and put them in my favorite cucumber, bacon and ranch salad and I loved them!  I'm feeling healthier already. :) LOL
How about you, do you like tomatoes??

Happy Birthday to My Hubby Wubby!

Today is my husband's 39th birthday!  Craig is my best friend and a wonderful dad and role model to Kyle.  We're truly blessed!

Happy Birthday Craigy!

I love you forever!

My husband, my son and a banana pudding...

It's Saturday afternoon and my husband and son are asking for banana pudding.  It all started with me going grocery shopping on Friday and I mentioned that I'd be making a banana pudding sometime this week.  Well, 24 hours later my boys are looking for it!  So of course I made it for them and now a few hours later...half is gone!  What is it with guys and banana pudding?  It was always one of my dad's favorites too.  Is banana pudding a favorite in your household? 

No time for driving with the teenager this weekend, playing with the doggies or husband,lol

Let's start with Friday, a visit to a Neurosurgeon.  Yep, he recommends surgery, always fun to think of someone operating near your spinal cord.  Seems that I have herniated discs in my cervical spine and a bone spur, ouch!  I was aware of some of this and it's time to decide on surgery, can't put it off any longer.  The rest of Friday was a good day.  My son started his new very part time job, I'm very proud of him and happy he will have some spending money other than mine. ha ha. 

Then there's Saturday, I woke up early a.m. and had an awful sinus headache.  I started taking medication in hopes I would wake up later and it would be gone.  Nope, I woke back up later that morning and headache was worse and I felt sick to my stomach.  I can't be sick, especially on a weekend!  That means no date with the hubby, no shopping with the best friend and no playing in the sprinklers with the doggies and last but not least, no driving with my wonderful son.  And that's exactly what happened!  I ended up sick all weekend and did nothing but let my hubby feed me toast.  Let me tell you, eating in bed is over-rated!  I had crumbs everywhere!  My puppy dogs were staying close to me which was really sweet, until they would hear the neighbor dogs barking and they would start their barking.  Other then that they were big babies and wanted to get in bed with me.  My Rambo thinks he's a puppy, he doesn't understand he's a 95 lb. big dog, not exactly a lap dog.

On Sunday around 4:00 p.m.  I woke up and realized that my headache wasn't as bad and I could actually talk without feeling like my head would explode.  I can't remember the last time I had such an awful headache.  First thing I did was call my grandma and let her know I was better, she had called and was concerned about me.  She's the best!  I'm so lucky to have her, she'll be 82 this year.  Next, I took a shower and then hubby made some dinner.  Dinner was so good, especially after eating toast and saltines for two days. 

This evening I did some more research on blogging, there's so much to learn.  I really hope this blog works out and I meet some women on here and who knows maybe a bunch of us will be meeting for lunch one day.  Follow your dreams and your passions and it will all work out, that's what I believe.  Hope to hear from you soon...
