Such Sweetness....

Since buying our Disney passes last month, we have gone weekly.

A little bit much????

Not when you see the fun Clare is having ( and we are too)!!!!


Clare likes to window shop....ME TOO!!!!


She loves bumping into Mickey...


...and this time met her very favorite Pluto!!!!


We are discovering lots of things...nice places to rest.


I never knew that there was a petting zoo.


...and did you know that they serve donuts in the shape of Mickey????
YUM YUM.


Clare thought they were "delicious"....which is what she told me (G)!!!!


A final ride on the train, and our little Mouseketeer
is having trouble keeping her eyes open.

In fact she never woke up til we got her home again!!!!

But NO Disneyland this week.

Oma and Grampie are taking a bitty vacation
of their own.

I am hoping for Quilt Shops and pretty scenery....with lots of photos to post.

My Heart Overflows....


When Meghan began her school year it was with a heavy heart.

She was deeply conflicted between her wanting to stay home with Donovan,
and her love of teaching which meant leaving him each morning.

She humbles me in her goodness,
and as she does with ALL things in her life that are difficult
...she prays for guidance.


There is no doubt that God watches over Meghan.

Share our joy.....

Knit one, Purl two....


I love our Monday Night Knitting Group.

There is a HUGE learning curve to knitting,
but I seem to be getting BETTER!!!!


It took me much to long to put the finishing touches on this sweater....
but I can't wait to see Clare wear it!!!


My Mom made the oversized flower for the center...
Perfect Touch!!!!


This sweater was a challenge...but a fun one.

I love the pewter daisy buttons, don't you????


...and my dear friend Linda is teaching us all how to crochet.

My hat is far from perfect, but I know Clare will enjoy it all the same.

Knit, Purl, tea, chatting and friendship.
Monday night Knitting is the BEST!!!!

First comes flowers....


My garden is so full of blooms...


The arbor is heavy with jasmine
with a sweet scent that fills the night air.


Violas are popping up everywhere...


...and geraniums are sprouting new growth and flowers too.

Fresia....one of my favorites
in every color in the garden.


English Daisies bloom in baskets...


Grape Hyacinths at the bottom of my topiary ivy.


More full Hyacinths are peeking
from under the many plants I gather into pots.


Sweet pink blooms make me joyous.
All of which are a sign.....


...that bunnies cannot be far behind!!!
