In Honor of My Mother In-law

First I would just like to say that my husbands mother is just like my own mother. We are a very close and I love her with every part of my heart. She has been in my life since my childhood and has seen my husband and I grow together. I know I will always have her in my corner.

Every woman deserves a day of appreciation. Last night was a night of celebration not for I but for my mother in- law. She finally retired and in deserving was honored by her employer and colleagues with a beautiful sit down dinner. Patty, Pat as they call her (to me she's just plain old Ma) is retiring from the New York Friars Club. An invitation was extended to her family and I was just as honored to be a part of her special evening. You could see the sheer sadness in leaving old friends. All together they shared brief stories and reminisced on the, "Good Old Days". Each one will hold a place in her heart and vice verse. The atmosphere was fantastic, filled with laughter and tears.
The festivities were held at Fresco's and the food was superb. If you like Italian food then may I suggest a visit to this family owned restaurant. The food was outstanding and dessert may I say was exquisite. It will definitely bring you back home with it's feel of comfort and family pictures. I also found the decor to be polished with a touch of a modern fit. Five stars for me!!!!!!

How Sweet It Is 2 Be Loved By You

You can not ask for a more sweeter child then this one. A heart of gold is what lays beneath her and joy is what she brings to me. This is my angel during our annual Apple Picking day. We had a great time watching her climb up the trees. You will find my baby always helping out with her siblings carrying one of them when their tiered of walking through the orchard. What can I say I have the best children ever.

My baby Got her....

My beautiful daughter just passed her permit test. Yes, she did it!!! That's only a reminder for my husband and I that our little girl is getting older. My baby will soon be driving to school and practices on her own. I'm so proud of her!! Next thing coming for sure will be her car what excitement I can't wait. As scary as the thought of my child sharing the road with others is I am just going to have to put those out of my mind and just instill in her to be safe at the wheel and continue to ask God to guide and protect her. This pic truly is her.

It's Been A Long Time

Okay, so it's been a while but I am hoping to have some time at least for now. Since it seems that's the one thing I am lacking. Time at least my time is spent being the busy soccer mommy and happy wife. Although I love it, I just truly feel like I'm on the roaring rapid tides over the Colorado River. That's how I feel, never time for me!! But today that was just not the case. I can say it was gratifying. My children had off from school and my poor hubby worked a full day and me well I just took it slow. It was GREAT, GREAT, GREAT I SAY. I didn't do much at all just relaxed. Not that I was not thinking of all I have to do. Does laundry constitute as relaxing? Some humor here, OK maybe I did do a little bit of house work but for the most part I did just lay back and kick up my cute little legs. My darling daughter spent time with her younger brother and sister. I even had some time to read my new book. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh What A Feeling when your Dancing on the CEILING. Remember that one???
