Quote of the Day: Life is what we are alive to… Be alive to … goodness, kindness, purity, love, history, poetry, music, flowers, stars, God, and eternal hope. – Maltbie D. Babcock (still quoting from Bobby’s travel journal)
I know I’ve been MIA this week. I’m still recovering from the fabulous Grad Party for #1 son! Plus, the kids are home and the summer schedule is busy! Trying to find a little creative space for myself. It takes some effort at the start of summer.
“We” embraced the Texas theme
with decorations and the best food this side of Texas!
Thanks to a couple fabulous friends who went all out for our party.
The spicy guacamole was the hit of the party.
We celebrated on a hot, summer day.
A few great friends helped me clean up (actually, did the clean up. I was exhausted). All in all, it was a great day.
Feeling grateful.
I’ll have a guest here on this blog on Friday, and I’ve been invited to hang out on the Journaling Woman’s blog that day.
Go. Create. Inspire!
Journaling Prompt: What have you been feeling grateful for lately?
Looks like your son had a great party!
I always visit Teresa’s site so I will see you on Friday.
Whew! When people disappear from blogland, sometimes it’s for really awful things. I was praying that wasn’t the reason.
No worries. Just didn’t want anything to be wrong.
Me toooooooooo, so glad we met through the blog world.
Talk to you soon.

Mary, I, too, kept checking. I know I could have emailed, but as you know, my life has been filled with new details too, so that proved even difficult. But I have been thinking about you a LOT and am so happy it turned out. It looks super cute and it was fun to see Krista! Whew! Now you can relax (sort of) and enjoy the summer! 🙂
Hi Mary! What a great Grad party..I remember I was exhausted for days..not only the extra work but the feeling of them getting ready to flee the nest into the big bad world. That feeling takes a lot out of a Mama! You did good:)
I am grateful for the tiny bit of rain that fell today..and a dry place to sleep:)
You’re house looks gorgeous, and the party was fun I’m sure. Now some time for you 🙂
Congratulations to the grad! It looks like you all had a fun celebration.
