Catch Up & Mother's Day

Happy Sunday!

Today is my catch up day from running around the past two days.

Not sure where to begin on my to do list...my 2 year old granddaughter spent the night Friday so Saturday after taking her shopping for a new swimsuit, beach towel and heels (plastic dress up heels) for the surprise party, we came home to building a castle(unsuccessfully) for her Barbie's.

What I want to do today before the clean up of make believe from Makenna is work on my mother's day projects. I'll post the pictures after the day just in case my girls are reading my blog. (which I doubt)

I can show you the dessert and breakfast that we're doing for Mother's Day...can't wait!

As for our meal we'll eat midday and grill hot dogs, chicken and turkey burgers - make 3 different salads and have some cocktails - of course, wine! I found this margarita recipe that I'm intrigued by, so might just give it try.

Time to get to work...enjoy your Sunday!

Have An Open Heart

As I was sorting through pictures this morning I came across pictures of my seven-year-old granddaughter with girls that she met for the first time on a 2 day stay in Prescott. I was drawn to the smiles on their faces and the love in their eyes. They met, accepted each other, and acted as if they had been lifelong friends. Oh, how I had forgotten about the innocence of a child. The color of skin, the size of a body, the structure of a face does not matter. They are ready to accept and love unconditionally until we and society teach them differently. There was nothing but smiles and laughter as they danced, made beaded jewelry, and ate. They made sure that they all were a part of whatever they were participating in. They cared about each other's feelings and made sure that everyone was having fun and was happy. Why is it that we grow to become so obsessed with appearance and behavior of others that we miss seeing the light or the struggles in others? We're so q...

I shared with you how I had my son leave my home because he's not in a good place right now. Yesterday he was sitting outside my home when I pulled up. I asked him why he was here - Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful he's okay but I can't be an enabler. He had a couple of reasons why he popped in, but I know the real one is that he thought no one would be home and he was hoping he could get in to eat, crash, and find something to sell at a pawn shop. As horrible as that sounds it's the reality of how a drug addict operates. ...

Fun At The Duce

The rain didn't stop us from having a great night at The Duce. The food was amazing, the DJ was fun, and I saw a lot of Arizona talent doing karaoke. One of the reasons I chose The Duce is because I love the ambiance. They have it set up with all the things that I grew up with...it's like a big playground for adults. The Duce is filled with ping pong tables, hula hoops, bean bag toss, punching bags, pull up bars, boxing ring, stationary bikes, foosball, karaoke, and a dance floor! There's also a little soda shop area if you want to grab a milk shake, and retail if you want something inspirational or vintage. Imagine a warehouse full of people of all ages having old school fun. Although we didn't get to enjoy the patio or order directly off the food truck due to the rain, it was a great night. After last night we decided it would be fun to do a family event there - the grandchildren would have a blast! Thanks again to everyone that came out in the rain, and to ...
