Taking in the beauty.............

I

Lots of beauty on our walks and in our own backyard. I have recently lost weight and eating healthy and. Exercising again. It makes you feel so good.  I had been on a bad spiral of eating chips gaining weight and feeling sorry for myself.  Well I picked up my panty hose and turned me around. No taking care of me. I am so glad I did what I did then . Found out about having surgery it really  helps the recovery..  Rick and I go on walks in the orchard and on the  Scantic  River in town beautiful walks. As well as beauty in our own back yard. My lilac tree bloomed and the apple trees are blossoming.   Nicole's peach tree is  looking awesome. In hope the peaches that come this year will be before or after we get home from Florida.   If not gramma can enjoy them, as she will stay with the dogs.    The signs are. All around, a butterfly flew by while watching a soccer game. Keep smiling down on us baby girl.  You are in our hearts always.   

What have we been up to...........

Life is pretty busy around our house.  Rachel is doing soccer. Ad loving it and emily started playing softball. I am so  happy she is doing a sport. She is so good.  She is on a young team but each time they are doing better and better.   So much progress.  This past weekend the girls made their confirmation.  It was a beautiful day.   I remember two years ago when Nicole made her confirmation it was a beautiful day.  Each day the girls give me something to live for they give so much love and the smiles and hugs. I love my girls more then anything in the world.   Rachel graduates from 8th grade this year she is excited to get up to high school.   I am recovering from minor surgery  and interesting while surfing the web I noticed it was 10 months that date the 23rd one month.  It creeps back,  like I have did before. It's not just the 23rd it's everyday.   So much has changed in our lives.    I am blessed guided and protected.  Thank You God.
