Random Tuesday ~ Family is where the heart is!!

Wow!  I have missed you all!  Been jetting around the country and landed in Lancaster, Ohio (just south of Columbus) to see my Mom and my brothers!!  Fun times!

Myself and my mom!

Isn't she gorgeous?  84 years young!

Dr. John and I had a good time!  We just hung out with Mom, Ilene, and then my brothers Jack and Mark.  Told stories and ate...isn't that how to spend a vacation?  Ha!!

Then Dr. John and I flew back to New Mexico and Mom joined us!  Woot!  Woot!  She is here now and will visit until Saturday morn.  So I had my son and his family come for dinner and meet their Great Grandmother.  My son, Lee, hasn't seen her for 20 years!  All they have exchanged is a few phone calls and lots of pictures!!  Sigh!  And then she got to meet her great grandchildren, most for the first time!!

It was quite the reunion...lots of tears and plenty of stories and tons of pictures!!  My Mom was in heaven!  She just couldn't get over how beautiful the kids are!  We had a ham dinner and stories continued throughout the day!  Dr. John was tickled too.  Soon our time together was over...too soon.  But all were sated and happy!!

Here are some pics...

Today and tomorrow, taking Mom sightseeing...so will remember camera this time.  Ha!!  By the way!  The ham dinner was delish, if I do say so myself!

Though it was fun to go to Lancaster and see Mom and Fam...it was sure nice to come home.  Missed my Sleep Comfort Bed!!  Sigh!!

Off for my walk...see you all soon!

Oh, I almost forgot...I am putting a piece into a show at the Resort, Buffalo Thunder on Thursday!  Fingers crossed!

Make sure and visit with Stacy at Stacy Uncorked and see all the other Randomizers share their stories and their week!!

Have a magical and blessed day!

Silent Saturday ~ Part 118!!!

Random Silent Saturday!  No rhyme or reason for these photos other than they are some of my favs that don't fit in any kind of descriptive box.  Kind of like me...Ha!!  And kind of like you!  We don't fit in any peg...we walk on our own path! 

Enjoy!

Have a magical and blessed day!

Random Tuesday ~ It is sweeter the third time around!

Yes, three times is definitely the charm.  Cheri and I took our friend, Alice, out for her birthday!  We went to the Mariott Inn in Albuquerque, out to dinner st Bravo and they next day...the Botanical Gardens, the Butterfly Pavillion and the Aquarium.  What fun!  Cheri and Alice had not been to these fabulous places so I received the honor of tour guide.  Of course, I have some fabulous pictures to share with you all.

The place to dine for sure.  Dinner was incredible.  We got an appetizer and then split a salad and a dinner split three ways.  It was still too much!!  The atmosphere and the waitstaff were charming and elegant.  I am definitely going back and taking Dr. John for sure!!!

Now does that look like trouble or what!!  Ha!!  Alice, myself and Cheri!!

The Botanical Gardens took our breath away..again!!!

The Butterflies...

The Aquarium...

Whew!!  We had a blast!  Looked until our minds were totally overloaded with visions of such beauty.  Hoped you enjoyed your tour as well.

Saturday, we are flying back to Ohio!!  Ha!  This time we are headed to Lancaster, Ohio which is about one hour south of Columbus.  Going to visit my mama!!  Haven't seen her for about one year.  I am excited.

Then she is flying back with us to visit with us here for one week.  She hasn't been here in over 12 years!!  So much to show her...so little time!!  Ha!

We are even going to Buffalo Thunder, the Hotel/Casino and Spa for a couple of days.  There is going to be an art show and classes.  So I am attending two of the classes and will be putting a piece in the show as well.  Dr, John and Mom will hang out and enjoy the amenities!!

Well, this wasn't very Random but I had fun sharing with you.  For more Randomness, stop by Stacy's at Stacy Uncorked and check it out!  Always fun and never boring!!

Have a magical and blessed day!
