Logan Love

To say I am so in love with Logan and

enjoying his company is a complete understatement of any kind

To spend time with him and his parents is truly a slice of Heaven

Ode to Joy

"you are the finest, loveliest, tenderest,

and most beautiful person i have ever known-
and even that
is an understatement."

Summer's Peak
Hilda Sanderson

June lets summer softly in
With warm and sunny skies,
While hotter days beg for release
To which July replies.
And as the season slowly heats
With blazing searing passion,
The days grow long and lazy too,
In summer's special fashion.
And at its peak the world seems to
Relax just for a while
To bathe in nature's glow
And summer's sultry smile.


Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through

Canada Day in the finest way

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. ~Thornton Wilder

“Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” 
― Mother Teresa 

Family where new life begins 

and love never ends.

Though miles may lie between us

we are never far apart

For love does not count miles

It is measured in the heart.

We shall always be next door neighbors of the heart♥

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, 

owned, earned, or worn. 
It is the spiritual experience 
of living every minute with love, 
grace & gratitude.”
- Denis Waitley

In the outfit I bought him last year look at how much he has grown since 2012

Amazing.

A message from my Son  I am so happy to be enjoying Canada Day weekend on home turf; it's been more than a decade!

═════════════ ღೋƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒღೋ═══════
To those who see with loving eyes,
Life is beautiful~~
To those who speak with tender voices, 
Life is peaceful~~~
To those who help with gentle hands, life is full. 
And to those who care with compassionate hearts,
LIFE is good beyond all measure.

"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

You're just too good to be true 
Can't take my eyes off of you 
You'd be like heaven to touch 
I wanna hold you so much 
At long last love has arrived 
And I thank God I'm alive 
You're just too good to be true 
Can't take my eyes off of you 

Pardon the way that I stare 
There's nothing else to compare 
The sight of you leaves me weak 
There are no words left to speak 
But if you feel like I feel 
Please let me know that it's real 
You're just too good to be true 
Can't take my eyes off of you 

I love you baby and if it's quite all right 
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights 
I love you baby, trust in me when I say 
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray 
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay 
And let me love you baby, let me love you 

You're just too good to be true 
Can't take my eyes off of you 
You'd be like heaven to touch 
I wanna hold you so much 
At long last love has arrived 
And I thank God I'm alive 
You're just too good to be true 
Can't take my eyes off of you 

I love you baby and if it's quite all right 
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights 
I love you baby, trust in me when I say 
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray 
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay 
And let me love you baby, let me love you

Hug somebody today you haven't hugged yet...
It could change their day, their week, their life.
—Melina Adduci

"What is one to say about June, 
the time of perfect young summer, 
the fulfillment of the promise of the 
earlier months, and with as yet no 
sign to remind one that its fresh
young beauty will ever fade."
~Gertrude Jekyll

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Beautiful

It's summer - take a day off! 
You can cut your chronic stress by 30%. One study found that workers who took just one Monday or Friday off a month reduced their anxiety-related health problems like headaches, muscle tension, and blood pressure. 
In fact, just one extra day off a month can improve your health enough to add 8 years to your life.
From the John Tesh Website on Facebook
Thank you 

The most powerful force on EARTH is love.

“Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.”

― Rumi

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”
― Rumi

how terrible it would be if we missed

a present Joy because we are 

carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders

Live with Kindness

Live with kindness, integrity and spirituality. Comport yourself with grace under pressure. Be an asset in the lives of others. Put people before things and live from your heart. Be intelligent, but know it is better to be kind than smart. Be a peacemaker who values peace and takes peace everywhere you go. Learn to understand your energy and how you create with your energy. Have among your priorities the characteristics of politeness, compassion and patience. Avoid making rash assumptions. Be a believer in true love. Seek deep communication with others and with yourself. Laugh and make the best of every situation. Understand that life is not perfect. Be whole enough to love and to be loved. When you find real love — protect and preserve the sweetness and intimacy of your gift. Make your home a heaven on Earth.
— Bryant McGill 

It's the first day of summer☼

Steak House Potatoe Salad

Recipe courtesy of ChinDeep

Link in my Sidebar

3 lb. baby red potatoes, quartered

8 large red radishes, sliced

2 sticks celery, chopped

8 green onions + tops, chopped

5 hard boiled eggs, chilled and sliced

8 oz. sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese, cut into small cubes

1 lb. bacon, fried, cooled and crumbled

4 pickled pepperoncini peppers, chopped

1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dip mix

1/2 cup real mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream or greek yogurt

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped fine

2 Tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder

2 Tablespoons prepared mustard (any type)

2 Tablespoons pepperoncini juice OR apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Place baby potatoes in a large pot of boiling water and cook until firm/tender (about 20 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork.)

Place potato pieces on cooling racks over baking sheets to cool quickly. Once cool, place in a large mixing bowl.

In another mixing bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Mix very well and toss gently with the potato pieces. Cover and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

Hair gets lighter
Skin gets darker
Water gets warmer
Drinks get colder
Music gets louder
Nights get longer
Life gets better

“it's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine ...
it's summertime!”~ Kenny Chesney

In the summertime when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine...
...We go fishing or go swimming in the sea
We're always happy
Life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy...
