Day 23–Need to Get Rid Of….

Posted on by

Ok, so you might think this is silly coming from a girl who loves to spend hours upon endless hours at the barn, a place filled with dust and dirt galore…. but I CANNOT stand DIRT OR MUD!! I can tolerate it, but it does not mean I like it! I hate feeling all grimy and dirty. LOL I am constantly trying to wash off the dirt with the water from the horses waterers at the barn. Or from the hose by the wash racks.  Not to mention how all the dirt and dust flying around the barn (or anywhere else for that mater) makes me sneeze like no other?! Also, when the pups, especially Shiloh here, who LOVES to play in the mud/dirt, gets all nice and dirty like this… you know that’s always a blast to clean up after!!! 😉 So I would just love it if I were able to get rid of all dirt and mud that is floating around, not serving a real purpose other than to just be a nuisance and to make messes!

Day 22- Can’t Live Without

Posted on by

One thing I cannot live without is traveling and exploring this amazing planet with a loved one or with friends. There is nothing better than sharing a new place, trying new foods, exploring a city, making new friends and new memories with family and friends.

Switzerland is such a BEAUTIFUL country!! Definitely one of my most favorite places EVER!

Venice, Italy

And LAST but certainly not LEAST, you cannot forget CHOCOLATE! Who can live without CHOCOLATE? I KNOW I CAN’T! 😉

Especially if they are chocolates from Switzerland!!

Celebrating 65 Years of Marriage!!

Posted on by

Wow!! 65 YEARS! 65 years ago today, my grandparents were married. They are both in their 90’s (well grandma will turn 90 on August 18th), they live on their own, grandpa still drives (grandma never got her driver’s license, but you’d never know that the way she like’s to be the “backseat driver!” LOL.  Grandma still waterskis on her birthday every year while Grandpa drives the boat for her. I know it’s only a matter of time before they will be needing some extra help and assistance with their living situation as I’ve started noticing some subtle things that in their old age they forget to do. But nevertheless, especially in today’s day and age when all you hear of is everyone getting divorces, I think it’s something we need to hear more of is things like this! 65 years calls for a celebration, which celebrate they love to do!  They already had their California Party to celebrate this milestone in Long Beach, CA at Khoury’s in the Los Alamitos Bay. It was a beautiful lunch and presentation of memories, stories, laughter and slide show of them through the years with friends and family and of course what would a party be without CAKE?? 🙂 HAPPY 65th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY GRANDMA AND GRANDPA!!!! Here’s to 65 years more of love and laughter for you two. <3
