Halloween Cookie Party



Harmony & Collin invited us all over for a Halloween Cookie party while Hilary & Jason were in town a couple weeks ago.  The kids decorated trick-o-treat bags and we all exchanged cookies.  We ate most of them during the party.  We played some games and jumped for joy for just being together.  We turned the kids into goblins, too. Fun was had by all!

Life's Storms


"Life would have storms in which we would have to make choices usin
g
 faith in things we could not see with our natural eyes." 
Pres. Henry B. Eyring

I believe the Lord is in charge, he is my pilot.  He can carry us safely over the storms of life.  We can't see the peace that awaits us.  But He can.  If we allow Him to take us over the stormy seas, we can see it, too.  I choose to allow him to work miracles in my life and in the lives around me.    

Green With Envy




Did I mention I love the color green?  I have never seen a greener palce.  The sky was blue and the sun was out but I did not use my sunglasses while there. Did not need to.  I understood the word CONTRAST when I arrived back home in the desert!

One Womans' View

The city can look so small depending on your perspective.  I call this, "between heaven and earth."  I took this from the grounds of the Statue of Liberty looking towards the Manhattan skyline.  It was a beautiful day!!  But all that water and city is just a small line across the image.  The tree overlooks it all.   

What-a-View

We visited NYC before flying off to Ireland and one of my favorite sights was the Brooklyn Bridge.  The late afternoon was beautiful, the air fresh and the colors vivid.  Not bad technology either.

Ireland


The Candy Store

At the first of the month I took a trip to Ireland, yes I said Ireland. Went with my buddies, Leni, Casey & Maggie, McFarland's all.  This first picture is what I remember about the insides of Ireland.  The chocolate was incredible.  The next image is of the outside of Ireland.  And it is more than you could ever imagine.  More green and blue and white  than I have ever seen.  Iwas so bruised from pinching myself while there that I am just barely recovering from the injuries.  More to follow.
