46 years on this planet!

This past week held my birthday..Wed April 14th. Seems like a lot of years that went by, way to quickly...I fretted over the number (inching closer to 50) but then I slowed and really looked at what I have gained in all the years.....it humbled me and filled me with a joyful peace. I hope I have at least 46 more to experience all the wonder life has to offer.

Some of this past weeks' joys:

Riding buses with these cuties!

Making and then uncontrollably cracking-up over our self-portraits, after just spending a hour on a very dignified Art Detective tour at the Dewitt Wallace Museum at CW

Getting to ride around in a brandy new Santa Fey for a few days...girls thought it was so cool that it had a port for an I Pod. Happy to report the Subby Dubby is all fixed minus the squealing noise that it had prior to the crash. We love our Subaru..it's taken us across the country and on many a great adventured .

A great birthday lunch at Fudruckers with my favorite peeps;

watching Liv enjoy fries with a some milk shake on top.
Discovering a wonderful unexpected garden, while on a tedious errand...

Gaining a new appreciation for balloon sharpie art =)

My new lemon tree....ok not quite a tree,or a bush at this point....but I have high hopes =D
Very hot days sandwiched between very cool ones.

Our azaleas blooming

My Sims Agents game on Ds and for the Wii

Watching our garden take shape:

Dreaming of scrumptious strawberries

Having fun with great friends at BG

The ability to now stream Netflix thru our Wii absolutely tickled me this week. Having Wilks make my birthday so special and watching him smile as he headed out to work...if only for a few days was marvelous...sitting here typing while my gang sits on the couch right next to me, sharing belly laughs together over Sunday nite Fox shows, just priceless. And of course..........

being privileged to parent kids that are so cool...they gotta wear shades!!!My life is full of joy...and happiness is the state I live in!
