My Beautiful Niece Meg and I ~

I miss Meg.

She lives in Hamilton, Ontario.

She came to visit us in the spring.

We so enjoyed having her.

She is a lovely girl ~

Rose Elizabeth ...

It seems like yesterday when she came into our lives 

and she will soon be two years of age.

I love my 'little treasure' 

Being a grandmother is such a blessing!

My Nephew Mark and I ...

Mark and I share a birthday ~ 

Mark is a sweetheart ~ I miss him ~

Have not seen him in two years ~

He lives in Nova Scotia ~ hope to visit him next summer ~ 

Good Friends ...

David and Erica have been friends for a long time.

They were 5 years of age in this picture and are now 24.

I met Erica's mother when they moved to Colorado in 1991.

Melissa and I became 'instant friends' as did David and Erica.

There is nothing better than 'good friends for life'

Jake .... Loving the Snow ...

Oh ... such  joy!!!

Blessed ...

Every day my family blesses me with their love ~ 

Thank you so much  ~ 

Love those Mountains ...

It was a beautiful day in the mountains.

Even Jake was smiling!

My Family

We had a visit from my brother-in-law and his wife in May.

It was a great family bonding time.

They so loved Rose as she did them.

They live in New York and we don't see them so much.

We will be spending Thanksgiving with them in Vegas.

We look forward to seeing them again very much!

RIP Smokey

We had to let Smokey go ...

She crossed over the rainbow bridge April 6th,  2013.

She lived a good long life.

She was a most beloved member of our family.

RIP my sweet little angel.

You are dearly missed!
