Embracing The Single Life

Happy to leave the past behind!

A lot has happened since my last post.

My husband started a whole new relationship with another woman

while still living with me.  I filed for divorce, packed my most important

items and hit the road.  I am at day two of freedom, staying with my mom 

for a couple weeks of peaceful rest and healing.

I'm Back ~ Things Are Changing

Me and my new baby grandson, he was born on Dec 4th and was over 11 lbs.  A beautiful strong boy.
Lots more changes in my life, I will be back tomorrow to start blogging again.  Have a lovely Sunday!

Life Takes A Turn

I have been so busy with life, I haven't had time to blog. I have taken time to take some photos
of our awesome Arizona skies.

My daughter, Julie lost her eye sight in June and we have been working to get it back.
A long and stressful task to say the least.  Please pray for her.

I believe good things are in all of our future.

Fabulous Friday

Fabulous Friday tidbits:

This is Carnitas (Shredded spiced pork) that I will be having for lunch, yum!

I am picking my grandson up from school and we will be dining 

at McDonalds.  It works well cause he gets to play and I 

get to read my book on my Nook eReader.

I have opened an Etsy store, now I have to organize

my collectibles and load my store up.  I have

collected all kinds of vintage items and it seems

like they are cluttering up the place so time to let them find a new home.

Ocotillo Blooms

Ocotillo blooms against a stormy sky.

Yesterday's storm brought cold and rain, it

also brought beauty.

Six Word Saturday

It started out a good day!

Then I went to the grocery store and came out
to my car being hit.  The person who
did this was not even considerate enough to leave
a note with contact info or even an apology for ruining my car.
The sad part is that I have had this car for 7 years without
a scratch, ding or dent.
