A Very Special Visit!

My best friend from my childhood came here this week with her family. Jeanetta and I have been best friends since we were 4 years old in Albuquerque. We hadn't seen each other for 4 years, but it was as if no time had passed. She and her husband, Jeff and her daughter Tara came through here on their way back to Albuquerque from Florida. We played board games all day yesterday and then went to the Wunsche Bros Cafe last night for dinner. We knew the waiter and I begged him to take us upstairs. I had been wanting to go upstairs for years. The Wunsche Bros Cafe used to be a hotel/saloon back in the early 1900's. They don't let the public go up there. Rumor has it that it is haunted. He told us that the rocking chair moves on it's own sometimes. I don't believe in that, but it was really cool to see the old hotel rooms.

After dinner we went to Lazer Rage and played Laser Tag and a few games of pool.

It was such a great visit and I am so happy that they came through here.

Coming home.......

My kids have been in Chicago for a week with the church youth choir. There were about 50 kids from church went. They have had an incredible time! I will have a huge montage of pictures to publish after they get home. I have really missed them. Thank goodness for texting! I think that they have about one hour left before they get home. I am cooking a roast with new potatoes, carrots and I am baking a broccoli cheese casserole. I have already made a banana pudding also. Hungry?

I was organizing all of the music on my computer and ran across this song........

Close your eyes and let this song penetrate your heart......

Celtic Thunder - The Mountains of Mourne

Watched this group of 5 young men from Ireland. They have a wonderfully unique sound. They are coming here in November. I want to see them in concert.

On a Rainy Day.......

Today, it rained cats and dogs for a little while. Johnny and I played 3 games of Chess, Chutes and Ladders and Mancala. He kicked my bootay in chess, but I made up for it later. We played games for over an hour. It was so fun!!!

Marching Band

Johnny is now in the high school marching band. They had their marching practice the first week of June. They sound great!!! I can't believe that my baby will be in high school!!!

Things that we take for granted...

In the past, I have to admit that I have taken air conditioning for granted. Not any more! Our AC started acting up last night about 9:00, so we shut it off. The AC people were out about 1:00 this afternoon and left around 3:00. It was a burned out motor and thank goodness that we have a home warranty. It is the original unit from when the house was new back in the mid 1970's! They did say that the AC won't last very much longer. It was in the 90's outside and it was 85 in the house. As long as I was under a ceiling fan, it wasn't too bad. However, when the AC guys were here, they had to have all of the power off the entire time and it was almost unbearable.

I kept thinking during the stifling heat that our parents didn't have air conditioning growing up. I honestly don't know how they did it! They did not have a choice, obviously, but it made me appreciate electricity and my air conditioning.

Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in "On The Town"

Watching this movie this afternoon......

School's Out for the Summer!!!

I almost put the video of that song, but had forgotten that Alice Cooper is the one that sings it.......never mind.

Today is the first day of summer! YEAH BABY!!! I didn't have to get up at 5:15!!! In my quiet time this morning, I read about one of the names for God. The word, Elohim reveals the mighty strength of God. El is the Hebrew word for "strength", while alah or oah means "faithfulness"......HOW COOL IS THAT! What a way to start my day. I thanked Him for being my strength and for always being faithful!

I walked around a new store with my cappuccino in hand, bought all of the fixings for a great salad and bought some fresh blueberries and watermelon.

I enjoyed listening to a Nora Jones CD in the car.

This is going to be a great summer and I get paid for not working. Life is good.

"Someone To Watch Over Me" from Young at Heart

I watched this movie again today.

Band Friends

Tonight was Johnny's last band concert at his school. This is a great picture of some of his friends.

Voice Recital

Amy had her voice recital last night. She did such an amazing job singing her solo. She has been taking private voice lessons for 2 years now. I am so proud of her. Both of my kids love music like their momma and I couldn't be more pleased.

Meredith Andrews - You're Not Alone

I heard this song today for the first time and it really blessed me. It just reminded me that no matter what we go through in life that God never leaves us alone. He is always there and I needed this reminder. I hope this blesses you like it blessed me........"Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you"..Hebrews 13:5
