I'm back!
I know I haven't written since a couple of years ago but have been real busy. I turned the big F. 50 years old Nov. of 2016. My niece Jessica and sisters threw me a big Day of the Dead party. It was very fun with all the DOD decorations.

Approaching the big F word! (50 years old).
This year has been an eventful one. Our youngest graduated from high school and can't decide what he really wants to do. His only goal has been to be the Best Diver in the World. But due to no Scholarship at this time he will be
attending community college in the fall with hopes to bring up his GPA. My oldest son is going to school for Massage therapy and very excited to see where it takes him. He had did a tour in the Army has a daughter that is 3. His wife is also in College to go for a teaching career. They live in a beautiful home with 2 dogs. My husband turned 50 this year and has been a fire fighter for over 20 years and this year he had to have a Quintuple bypass. It was such a surprise to all of us, especially since he just was on a health study team for firefighters. He had lost about 12 pounds and was in top physical shape then in about in a month he went from running 2 miles to half a mile. He has heart disease in his family. The Drs. say if he didn't have a physical job the outcome would have been way different. The good thing about this all is now they are going to perform and extra test during fire fighters and law enforcement yearly physicals to detect blockage in the heart. Firefighters are always taking care of the outside of their bodies but not the internal. With all the stress, adrenaline rush, sleep deprivation it put's a lot of wear on their bodies. Needless to say it was very scary to almost think I could've been widowed at the yound age of 49. lol. My parents are aging faster nowadays and need much more care. It's always hard to see your parents age. If I knew then what I know now I would have had my kids sooner. Seems like I just got the kids all grown up and now time to care for the parents. I guess they call that the sandwich effect. lol. I was working for a Dentist for the past 5 years and he finally retired and I did as well. It was such a change but it did make it nice to be able to care for my hubby while he was recovering from heart surgery. Maybe it was meant to be for that matter. I am now looking for a new job with now much too much time on my hands. I just thought I would update my blog since I haven't been on forever. I will try to keep up with it now. Happy Blogging!

Garden getaway
I love a rainy night in Arizona. I decided to go sit in the garden (my sanctuary) listen to some music on the ipod or watch a chick flick on my laptop. I decided on this nice evening to set up a campsite in my little garden. It started to sprinkle and I had Michael Buble on the ipod. My husband and I love to take pictures so we clicked away. First we had to remove the bully from the tent she wanted to be in it. lol. We decided to leave the tent up for a couple days hoping for some more beautiful weather so we can go lay inside it and watch a movie.

Everything is coming up rosses!
I was entered in a spring time swap on ravelry.com. We all had to exchange (swap) items off a list of our favorites to each other. the limit was 20? But I think we all go way over because it is so fun to buy things that we know we like for each other. I got my package today and the theme was Roses! I got a cool treasure chest box with butterflies and roses all over it. Then inside I received a beautiful pinkish rose shawl with a skein of yarn that it was made out of. I also received a godiva chocolate bar (who doesnt love chocolate!) with a floral pen, note pad for the fridge a pencil tote, rose covered clothes pins and scrapbooking/journal stickers of roses. I loved it all my partner in the swap spoiled me!

Always fun to be in a Mini-Swap through Ravelry
I recently joined a favorite color mini-swap on the web-site Ravelry. It is a knitting-crocheting community web-site. This is a swap where you exchange lists of your favorite color and things that you like. Then they assign you a partner and you have to get them or make them stuff to put in a package by a deadline.The limit was $15.00 can be homemade or store bought and doesn't have to be all related to knitting or crochet. I got my package today and my favorite color is green so it was perfect timing since today is St. Patricks Day. I'm posting a picture of what I got and what I sent my partner. It is such a cool idea and you get to know people from around the world.
