Field trip

Last Saturday, I spent the day with Jordyn at the Deanna Rose Farm. We had a wonderful day...the weather could not have been better! Jordyn fed the goats with a baby bottle...they were hungry and did not hesitate once they saw the bottle in her hand. Jordyn spent the day exploring the farm, riding ponies, mining, making crafts and playing in the playground.

I look at my beautiful little grand-daughter and can't believe she is in kindergarten. Time flies!

When asked what she has learned so far....did you know that the food we eat turns into poop?

Cousins

It has been a very busy week! On Monday, my niece, Ariel, brought her new baby to meet his family in Missouri. What a delightful little guy! We enjoyed watching the cousins interact with one another....Jack was a bit jealous and Caleb enjoyed entertaining John.

Last Friday, we went to see Mama Mia at the Starlight theater. We had a wonderful girls night out...it was a beautiful evening to be outdoors. The production was fantastic!

Labor Day Weekend

Summer is almost over....it goes way to fast! At least it was not stinkin' hot most of the time!

On Friday, my friend, Jenny and I went to Santa-Cali-Gon days in Independence. But first we went to a wonderful consignment clothing shop and found some great buys! Then we walked our feet off in the rain, fortunately there were tents full of crafters, so we did not have to stay in the rain all of the time.

Saturday, Jim worked on the Mustang...got it running!!!! I went to Higginsville to a cute little quilt shop. Came home and worked on my quilt...the borders are all that is left, then the quilting!

Sunday night, we went back to Santa-Cali-Gon Days and listened to the Eagles tribute band...it was actually pretty good! I wanted to go back on Sunday afternoon to listen to the ZZ Top tribute band and the Journey tribute band, but we had all ready planned a family cookout.

Happiness

Happiness is:

Courageously doing what you want to do, even if you are scared.

Experiencing your life as an exciting journey.

Stimulating your mind and caring for your body.

Realizing that you already have everything you need to make yourself happy.

Knowing that you are the only one who can decide what is right or wrong for you.

Accepting that you are okay even when you blunder from your mistakes.

Knowing that what people say or do is a reflection of them and not you.

Listening to your inner wisdom.

Giving and receiving love unconditionally.

I know I am a work in progress and always will be. Each day I realize that I really do have in my possesion what it takes to be happy. It is a journey and with His help it will be a wonderful journey!

Under the stars

Last Friday, we spent a wonderful evening at the Starlight Theater. The performance was "Chicago" and I have to say, I think it was the best show that I have been to at the Starlight. The dancing was fantastic! Fortunately it did not rain and the heat and humidity were not as bad as it had been all week. Jim was still feeling the effects of being on a rooftop working 2 days in a row in the heat, so he was not feeling so great.
Monday night, we had tickets to the Daryl Worley show at the Voodoo lounge at Harrah's. Jenny and John went with us. We had great seats and it was a fun show.

Sunday at Bucca
