Birthday thoughts

So, it's official. I am 60 years old! Do I feel older? Not really--although some days there are a few more aches and pains around. In my mind, I feel pretty alive and up-to-date on a lot of things. Who would have known that I could blog??!! It's good to surround yourself with family and friends; it helps with your outlook on life too, I think. I feel very blessed to have a great, loving husband of 38 years, my daughter, Heather and her husband John, my son , Sean and his wife Tabitha and of course, my precious grandson, Brayden. My life is great! So here's to many more happy years.........Happy Birthday to me! :)

Our Arkansas summer 2010











Here are some more of my favorite pictures.....especially the one with Brayden & PopPops making "the face"!

Our Arkansas summer 2010


What a great time we had during our vacation! We babysat (actually, we were entertained and amused by one very happy boy), enjoyed and a/c'd home, watched swimming lessons, ate out a lot (yum, barbeque!) and even enjoyed a wonderful cookout at Tab's parent's home.......we had delicious homemade ice cream and "yellow" watermelon! A big thank you to them for their hospitality; also, a big thank you to Troy's Mom for providing fresh garden tomatoes--ours were still green when we left RI and hers were sooo delicious :) Jim & I even ventured out and found our way to and from WalMart...quite an accomplishment for us.
