Ipsos i-Say

Seeing my brother return from Iraq (Safely) & with a new born baby, Joseph! That is what made my whole year!

That my daughter has finshed her Chemotherapy Treatments and is in full remission from Hotchkins Lymphoma. We are feeling very blessed and thankful.

My grandson and I made a major move to a new town to get out of an abusive situation so I guess the highlight would be not getting that knot in the pit of my stomach everyday.

My doctor telling me my heart function is now 64%, from the 10% it was last July. What a miracle!

I am enjoying growing my flowers, and watching my veggies growing in hanging containers, knowing in a short while, I'll be eating wonderful, homegrown tomatoes and green peppers, and sharing them with my 83 yr old mother. She will LOVE them. Boy, I can smell them now. ;) And for the first time ever, I can take pictures of them with my NEW digital camera!!! It was a birthday present to myself after having knee replacement surgery!

I found out that My wife & I are going to be Grandparents!

Harvesting vegetables and flowers from my garden and having the joy of sharing the bounty with friends and family.

That I am healthy and Alive

My daughter announced her engagement and wedding date on fathers day

watching the sun set

Going to wild adventures with my husband and son and having to leave my cell phone behind so that work could not call

my moms college graduation

My highlight was watching my son's Little League team win the Minors I tournament in Mims, Florida. It's so cool when these 9 and 10 year olds work so hard playing a game they love so much. Next we'll be going to Disney Quest!!

I will enjoy the summer spending time with my 6 yr old in whatever we do. Last year I had to have 4 surgeries in one year and wasn't able to do a lot of things so I hope this summer I can enjoy my family and my health and just be thankful and happy with whatever life may bring-sun or rain...

Having my family here visiting and seeing that thet are all well. Looking forward to a cruise later in the summer.

GETTING TO SEE 35 YEAR OLD SON GRADUATE FROM BASIC TRAINING. ALSO GRANDDAUGHTER WILL DO THE SAME IN JULY. THEY BOTH JOINED THE NATIONAL GUARD SO THEY COULD BE WITH MY LODEST SON AND GRANDSON WHO ARE IN IRAQ NOW. THIS IS A HAPPY AND SAD TIME .NEXT YEAR WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN.

A two week visit to my homeland - beautiful Oahu, Hawaii. I spent blissful days on white sandy beaches, watching my son frolic in the water while I worked on my tan.

family cook-out/picnic

Being able to spend time with my 1derful husband and my Mom and family and being able to handle every day clean and sober (2years). Life is good!!!! Smiles and Serenity in Ocean City, New Jersey.

Flying from Oregon to Kentucky to help celebrate my only daughter's 52nd. birthday with 95% of family members also attending from various states. It was truly a memorable event!!!

Swimming with my two Beautiful daughters, watching them dance around the house in their sundresses, singing at the top of our lungs in the truck on the way to the beach, riding the carousel with them, and working in our garden! Oh what a life!

To be able to be outside. I am wheelchair bound and live in Senior Housing. We have a beautiful patio and rose garden that enjoy visiting.

Swimming, bike riding, enjoying the sun, and NO SCHOOL!

Help planning my youngest son wedding.

Having a week off to enjoy my garden and reading

My daughter having her first baby on June 6, and looking forward to my daughter-in-law having her second baby, due late July. I also like that I can do more things with my kids and grandkids outside.

I moved to a new Home in a new State, 2 new Jobs, great new Friends, exciting new Places to see and Things to do!

Well it has not happened yet but it will be this weekend. My Mom and Dad will be up visiting from NC and my whole family (all 16 0f us) will be at my house having a bbq and playing games.

Lazing on a sunny afternoon :-)

I had 2 titanium posts installed in my jaw Monday! After they heal in 3 months, I'll have a bridge installed that will let me eat all the steak I can handle! Awesome! So, now I'm qualified for surveys on oral surgery too! Meanwhile, though, I'm on milkshakes and mush. But, tomorrow night we're going to see the Doobie Brothers in concert!

Having my brother get married in June and my sister getting married in August.

Being able to eat outdoors in the nice weather

Got my 1994 car replaced with a 2005 model so I can drive my 86 year old mom to Church and her doctor's appointments without the brakes failing or parts falling off (of the car that is )!

Posted one on the 15th about my granddaughter coming home from Iraq. Now I'm again thanking GOD that my son dodged an extreme layoff situation with his job. Miracles never cease.

Playing with my granddaughter I hadn't seen in over a year!!

So far the summer has not been real summer...we are actually still in spring. However in 3 weeks my granddaughter will be home from Iraq for a short vacation. Grandma can hardly wait.

My nieces brand new beautiful in ground pool! All the girls in the family have a ball sipping mimosas and floating around in that pool! We all contributed some pool toys and helped with the landscaping. Fun Fun Fun!

Being able to open the windows and let the fresh air into my house because it has not been wickedly humid yet. And, stepping outside my front door without wearing a coat, gloves, shoes and socks! o:)

Watching my daughter walk for the first time.

The adoption of my Daughter was finalized! :O)

getting all my ailments fixed.

being able to go on vacation for the last 5 days

Going to a resort with my family and my mother coming to visit.

Hanging out with my boys

We went to Buena Vista Lake for a barbeque last week end and my brother took the kids out on the lake in his boat. It was relaxing.

The highlight of my summer which is just beginning is being able to get time off from work to spend time with my son and taking him to amusement parks, baseball games, etc. Just the two of us spending more quality time together and getting away from work for once.

Being able to take my daily walks outside, instead of in a mall or super store.

I can sleep in and don't have to get my child off to school.

It will be over July 4 that I will be watching my beautiful 16 yr. old granddaughter play softball with her traveling team. A few weeks later, I will be getting ready to go to the Smokies for the Nationals to watch her play. At present, helping take care of the family dogs while they go to the tournaments and her older brother does his activities. She is an awesome pitcher(the other pitchers on the team are good too). Watched her play in all her high school games at home and at the other schools they played.
