The Rear View Mirror

It's funny to look through the few pictures we managed to take while away for my burrrffday.

A distant memory of so many feelings.  I felt awfully sick.  I felt loved. I felt lazy and I felt safe.

I felt peaceful, yet I felt full. I felt full of snot, actually and two full lungs.

But we made the best of it.  We most always do....Especially giving and getting good long hugs.  Affirming that everything was gonna be okay....and just "As long as we're together"......

Like when the Bee's decided to build a nest and fill our porch out front- Sorry little cuties, not this pad.
I've fought to keep the pooping bird up there, but the bee's gotta go. 

From bee's to margarita's.  We decided just after noon, we'd better mix something to stop the cough. 

Funny thing about this plant.  As Kali and I laid out while there for Spring Break, she said "Mom, doesn't these plants look like their flipping everything off?!"  I laughed so hard.  I still laugh looking at them.
I sent her this picture....

My lovely of loveliest niece Tori Lynn presented me with this beauty.  If you know me, you know I love simple.  The true meaning of giving the gift of life.  Through love.  And I thank you sweet sugar from the bottom of my heart. 

10 Toes, 45 full years.

After leaving the smokey casino, my request to cruise really slow through all the coves would give me this. 

And this was just beautiful. 

I can't take a selfie to save my life.  But after a few cocktails, well....here you go kids. 

What you can't see here until you look very very close is a large wolf.  At first we thought it was a coyote.  But as he trailed back and forth....it was a beautiful sight to see....

The channel was empty.  We missed the Spring Break crowd, and we knew we were a week in front of Desert Storm.  

After pulling the boat out, from a pretty quiet public launch ranch, - (Thank the boating Gods from above)- We came home, to catch this.  And got ready for dinner. 

There was a dress in my closet of Kali's that she never wore, and a tad bit fancy.  I slapped that dress on, with my highest heels and covered my lips with red lipstick....and the night was just perfect.

The next day we found our old favorite cove.  We found this cove about 15 years ago.  If I could scan and show you the difference of us back then versus now, you'd roll.  HA!

Cold water, clear lake, and no lake poop.  Just SHRINKAGE! hahahaha

This cove is fantastic kids.  That green pollen you see floating on top was a dust of little like flowers.
The sand was soft.  The air was perfect....

And the love in there was just perfect. 

But enough of the gushy.  Our next stop that night would be dinner.  Angelina's.

These little signs of my faith keep popping up.  But man, to join a CHURCH ON FIRE?!

Kind of a little scary.  Or.....hmmm maybe not. I do know that GOD has what I need.

There's a birthday weekend in a watery, slow boat, awesome cove, and bus on fire nut shell-

So far this week, my car died.  Vdub don't fail me again-

My cough is trying to leave. 

Our little Bucksie is getting better by the day.

And work is here to stay.

Big love to you all, and cheers to some sunshine!

Peace-
