Hadn't been here in a very long while. Lots has gone on. I'm here because I commented on Mirabal's blog which brought me here.
I went back to my very first post and it was about my mom. I am surprised at what I wrote. I like it. Maybe I'll implement it again into my life at this stage. Only because it's summer. I wouldn't get up early in the cold winter mornings. heehee! as Mirabal would laugh!
I'll get back here and report on whether I even did Some of my Mom's examples after all! Ha Ha!

The Beautiful Mare...
Our Beautiful Sparkling Sweetie[Sparkle] left us on Friday August 6th 2010 at 8pm.
She hadn't been well for awhile, having trouble walking, couldn't see out of her left eye but every once in a while she'd trot around and even get into a gallop.
For months she'd been having trouble getting up after her naps, but managed to get herself up and kept on going. She never missed a meal! Bless her big heart. She was such a great mom to her colts and adopted colts and fillies after we stopped breeding her.
She was kept like a queen. We all loved her so much. I'll always remember how the girls used to braid her mane. After her baths she shined and glistened because of her beautiful white coat.
I'll be crying for her for a long time just as I have for Savannah. They, were good friends by the way. Now they're both enjoying life in God's Garden where all the good pets go in Heaven.

LENTEN SEASON 2010
I was thinking the other day that we are in the 2000's. My dad made it and surpassed the year 2000. Wow. I remembered how as a kid I thought it was really going to be major just getting to 1970.
I don't feel as old as I really am. I wonder how many other people feel younger, as I do. I see my grandchildren and they're so beautiful and handsome and wonderful. I look at my children, they're also all these things and can't believe they're as old as they are. Wow.
Here I am, at Lent 2010. I made all the traditional Lenten meals that my grandma and mom always prepared and of course I made my dad's favorite whole wheat pudding. Of course I missed serving all those dishes to him. He's proud that I'm still doing it, I'm sure.
I was this morning watching some videos of the grandkids and of course there was my sweet father, I stopped them so I wouldn't cry. Writing here now I'm in tears. It hurts so bad.
He's with me always, still guiding me by jarring my memories with his wisdom of staying in constant prayer for the family and friends. Teaching me to "be there" when I'm needed.
I am so grateful to my dad and mom that they gave me their Faith and their Church to help me live a good life and teach my family to do the same. To Know, Love and Serve the LORD daily.
I'm looking forward to Easter and my newest grandbaby's Baptism in April. But first, I'm looking forward to Saint Patty's Day! My 2nd most favorite day of the year next to Christmas!
PEACE TO EVERYONE!!! Joy

More Space...
It's been great, clearing and cleaning my newly acquired space since my last child found her own apartment and moved out. I now have a sewing/quilting/painting room and my DH has an office. YAY! I miss my daughter, not her stuff. Albuquerque is snowy and very cold at this moment. I hope I don't have to go out for anything tomorrow! We're nice and cozy sitting by the fireplace and I wish it could last all weekend but alas, my DH does work for a living, [still]. So we'll enjoy it at least a few more hours. Thanks to GOD. Amen.

Off to Denver!
I'll be off to Denver soon, to be with my daughter when the baby comes. I'm just about finished with my larger quilt that I made for our little guy. I'm pretty sure that living in Denver, he'll get lots use out of all the quilts and blankets he's received. In the past few days his mommy and daddy have been snowed in!!! I sincerely hope that it's a sunny day or a calm evening when he arrives. We're all getting excited about it all. I've already booked a flight for myself to visit them in January, the airline had 25.00 seats!!! I couldn't resist. I asked first, if it would be alright they said " of course", so how cool is that? Yay for me!

FLOOR RE-DO
I finally decided to re-do the bedroom floors and den. I had thought of re- carpeting, but in the end I thought it best to have the whole house in the beautiful laminate that I had put down last year in the living room and kitchen.
I'm positive it'll help keep our allergies down and it'll be easier to keep the pet hair from my collies swept away from the laminate than it has been to bring out the vacuum to pick up that fine fur!
My kids are coming down from Denver in 2 weeks, it'll be great! Later I'll be going up there to visit them and see how the baby's nursery is coming along. They're working hard at it so I'm sure it will turn out just fabulous!
I've been feeling a little better, not great but not as bad as before. My heel is still giving me problems, I just wish it would get well. I pray constantly for GOD to return my health to me but in HIS own time as with everything HE does.
I have been energized enough to de-clutter our home. It really makes a difference! There's a great sense of "freedom" when you get organized and clear out busy areas of the home. I'm so happy! My husband is de-cluttering our yard of weeds and garbage and unused materials, etc. We're getting lots of compliments. It's wonderful!
