Every challenge is a seed, 

planted in the soil of adversity. 

With perseverance like the rain 

and determination like the sun,

it will blossom into the flower of triumph.

Today is the beginning of the weekend!  I hope you enjoy every single day like it is Friday.  

It is time for vacations and finding fun things to do to make great memories!  

How about a walk on a beautiful beach somewhere to add to your memories?  

It is always time for flip flops.  I am a barefoot person who doesn't like close toed shoes!  

Ice Cream is good year round too!  It sure melts quickly in this humid heat we are having now so I prefer mine in a bowl in an air conditioned environment!  

But drifting in a boat in some cool river or lake is always a good summer adventure too.  No matter what you are doing this weekend or this summer... 

Hello, I'm stopping by your lovely home and leaving 

my mark so you don't forget your friend whom 

I admire that you are present even from a distance

that I appreciate what's important is not

what we have but who we have

and that our friendship lasts forever

that joy and happiness always be with us and  

take care of each other that

 always be in our lives a good recipe

that looking at the stars and that 

they illuminate us and have more energy,

 lives your day to the fullest

big hugs, Maria, kisses

Don't let your negative thoughts dominate you, 

because they will eventually control your life. 

No one can live a positive life with a negative mind.

Bonjour mon adorable Amie Marie,

Je te souffle tout plein de doux bisous ...♥

Thankful Thursday is here.  We are thankful our kids can go on vacation and we can babysit their dogs.  

The girls love Washington and Oregon as much as their parents do.  

We are also thankful for our wonderful neighbors.  Livvy had her 4th birthday party last weekend.  

We gave her a Princess Tent Playhouse and after her mom assembled it, she had to take it part way apart and move it to the bedroom to be slept in.  

Bennett is a wonderful big brother and he decided to join her for their iPad time together.  

So as you go through the day, today and everyday, count your blessings and say Thank You Lord!  

Good morning Marie, wishing you a beautiful day.


Blessed Be my dear friend...*Hugs* & *Love*
