Vacation 2008 ~ Milwaukee/Six Flags Chicago area

Vacation 2008 began the day after the Mister and I were married. Sis, Matchu, and Boof were not able to go with us so Doshie brought his friend Fred and we also took the Mister's nephews, Andrew and Austin. We had a good time for the most part. Some day the Mister and I will have our honeymoon but it was important to us to keep our family vacation with the kids. First day was in Milwaukee...Cubs vs. Brewers. Oh yeah, the Cubbies won! This was the first National Baseball game for my boys as well as for Austin. The Brewer's stadium allows you to tailgate in the parking lot and we did exactly that. It was a very enjoyable first day/night of vacation.

Milwaukee's stadium is beautiful I thought
The Cubs won!!
Disappointment look, Andrew hates the Cubs.

The next two days we were in the Chicago area enjoy Six Flags.
Andrew, Fred, Doshie, and the Mister thinking they are Super Heroes
A little healthy competition between the guys.

Many Blessings,

Slow Down - Stay A Little Bit

Repost: March 12, 2017 previous blog Now, I look forward to the season of life I am in. Watching my boys becoming responsible young adults/adults. I love the relationship I have with them but I also miss the days they are little from time to time. Life is definitely changing, always changing.  I love my new position at work.  I am finally getting used to the "normal" hours and I will be able to dedicate a couple of nights to my blogging again and reading my favorite bloggers/friends. In the midst of it all, I have seriously became old ... my body aches so much any more.  I am seeing a doctor to assist with the pain.  The end of March and the beginning of April are my worst time of year.  This year I hope I am able to concentrate on the memories and love of my Dad and concentrate on Emily's baby shower for our new little soon grandchildren. I think I am battling some Empty Nest feelings.  My boys are growing up and they reach out to me very little.  NoNo will be graduating

Thankful Thursday ~ Sierra Jo Dominguez

I have been making my plans to complete our yarden next year. Yes, that was a "y" in place of a "g".  I follow Sierra Jo Dominguez on Instagram. She is another person who saved me. I love following her. She is a beautiful soul. She has fake cooking shows, backyard gardening, home repair and remodeling, she shares her life, and her new passion for pottery. She is a Christian as well and just like Tia Bee Stokes, she is real and spreads positive message. Sierra shared how she was creating a yarden and she inspired me not only to increase my Butterfly Garden but rebuild the backyard to our yarden last Summer, I will later post about the beginning of the yarden. I am excited to see her yarden but it has been placed on hold because growing a pottery business takes a lot of time when she is also a Mama of seven children, two of then are toddlers. She is homes schooling the children.  Our kitten, Bella even loves Sierra Jo Dominguez.  This was her small box of Joy. I bough
