A Life Changing Day

Life just keeps getting better! This is one of the sweetest moments in my life. Witnessing your children become parents, is huge miracle come full circle!

Maybe I am settling into old age (lol), but holding that baby is one of life's immense joyous moments.

I can't remember a time I felt as good or complete as I do right now!

It's very beautiful, and much better than a dream!

It's in his kiss

New Home for Toby

We worked sooooooooooooo hard to get the space ready for Ron's shed. We no sooner decided on 'the one', then had to proceed with clearing out the space. It didn't take us long. Ron rode the Toby like a bull at a rodeo! ((( shhh it did get stuck once, so we pulled it out with the truck :-D ))) The Tobymeister chewed up everything, which made it so much easier to bag. All in all, it only took us a little over 2 HOT hours to clear the 20'x20' spot. I think we were amazed at ourselves as well! This is one of those times we really appreciated the pool!I call it the Guard House because it's in the driveway on the way to the house. Great spot, doesn't interfere with the 'green' view from the backyard or pool. Even found palms growing.

We are soooo proud of ourselves! What a good job we did! (That qualified us for another jump in the pool!) Ron has his tool and 'Toby' storage, and the garage is beginning to see daylight!

What a good team are we. What a great weekend!

Beautiful Friend

Got this wonderful pic of a friend I met (albeit almost too late) in GTMO. Some things are just too good to let go!

We snorkled, photo'd, shelled, kayaked, and found a delicious rapport, not to be denied. Some things are just too good to let go! Here is a delightful pic of her on the Ferry catching her last flight out!

Thank you, Carolyn, for being my beautiful friend. Looking forward to sharing much more!

Phase IV

Phase IV? This is the last quadrant of our lives. Building, making this the best time of our lives together! At laaaaast! at laaaaaaaaaast! Bliss! I can't wait to see the Ron-man after he retires! So much to look forward to!

Bye Bye GTMO~ Bye Bye, I so miss my snorkel buddy, Dave~~ :-D
and the beautiful and Sweet Patti & Bella Isabella


and.... bye bye to all the Iguana:
#15 (always at the speed sign, who, after loosing his tail was dubbed Nob Bob - or was that because he lived at Nob HIll?),
Fast Eddie the Guard Iguana who roamed the housing areas with his 8,064,362 cousins, and the
Dive Guy, who lived on the beach at the Phillips Dive Park and harassed all the newbie dive students!

Here is our playground:and Ron's new hobby horse The Tobymeister:
Back home a month, now. Forget the 6 baby scorpions, huge wolf spider, and the mole I'm still chasing in the garage, LIFE IS STILL BLISSFUL here in the Goethe State Park - complete with gratuitous Wild Turkeys:and superhumanly curious and strong squirrels:
We (ha! I practically did it all myself!) unpacked 11 crates. Ron still just visits on weekends, till he retires! The whole garage was full, and.... now... the house is full! Little did we realize when we decided this house was for us, the lack of some small necessary details - like storage!
But, luckily, with all this effort, the house is beginning to look more like us every day.

The ceilings are huge! We ordered an 8 foot tall bookcase for the library (in the background behind the French doors). What I like is, there is practically no room for knick-knacks! (I think I hear a hallelujah!) So, where do you put a life? In the smiles and hearts of those around you! ok ok ok ~ Everyone is blossoming beautifully! (I think I hear a hallelujah!) And we have all this bliss, new home and acreage to share with all our loves!

AND, JOYFULLY, TO ADD TO ALL THIS BLISS: WE'RE GOING TO BE BLESSED BY A BRAND NEW BABY GIRL MILLER!!
