Speculatin' on Kentucky!

Tonight, after working I came home to candlelights, wine and beautiful music (Michael Utley and the Coral Reefers Band which played for Jimmy Buffett). Bill has blessed me with so many wonderful moments like this through our years together. The horse on our table was bought in Lexington, KY and reminds us of where we are headed. Our home is back on the market after some work that needed to be done and we are now looking forward to a good offer and then our move back to Kentucky. Our prayer is for everything to be smooth and uneventful. God has truly blessed us...

A Warm Fire...

Yesterday was a cold and windy day here in Raleigh...which in my head means it's time to build a fire!! One of my favorite things about winter is building a fire to cozy up to and either read or watch a good movie. I remember when my mom was living she'd have a fire going pretty much all day long during the winters in Oklahoma. Anyway, we are trying to get all the use out of this fireplace before we move on to Kentucky...

Alexandria

She turns 16 today! I remember holding her as a newborn and the joy I felt. Our first daughter giving birth to our first grandchild...priceless. Anyway, Alex is one of a kind...she's a trendsetter, she makes us laugh, she's very artistic and creative like her dad and she loves the Lord. It has been a joy to watch her grow in so many ways. In the above picture she is wearing a "Sweet 16" corsage that my good friend Judy (kenju) made for her. It was popular where I grew up and I had one too (many, many years ago!). I knew Alex would enjoy it!! Happy Birthday Alex? We love you, Grandma & Granddaddy...
