Orange Mountain

I know this is not a good title for the page. The mountain is not  actually orange;  but the early morning sun has actually made the snow topped mountain look orange!

Our son and his family were in Breckenridge last weekend and snapped the photo at 7:15 AM.

They took some terrific pictures during that weekend. Of course I think so because these kids mean the world to me; but I think they will make some very good layouts as well. You'll probably see a few of them here. Then of course, you can be the judge.

Speaking of children being so important to us, the movie Unplanned is playing now at a local theater. It is about abortion of babies just like your children and mine were.

If you can find the movie near you, you should see it. Those in the business, who want more babies to be killed and dismembered are trying to keep the public from viewing it. They have said it is violent (which  really is true of the way they are murdered); so they have rated it R. Sadly that will prevent many, many girls from seeing it, who really should.  They need to know the facts so that if they ever  need to make a decision about a pregnancy, or help a friend make that decision, they can make a wise one. Perhaps they'll even think more about prevention.

Beautiful Colorado Sun and Snow

I  couldn't think of a single thing I could do with this picture to make it better. So when I make my next book,  this will take up a page by itself. There isn't any need  for words or frames...nothing would improve it.

Oliver, you are really good looking here with the cool red and blue colors you are wearing and the pose you are striking with the bare tree at the top of that mound of Colorado snow. The bright sunlight and blue sky just finishes it off for us.

It's good to know you all had a wonderful long ski weekend.

Hustle for the Muscle

You have heard the old saying, probably too many times, that a picture is worth a thousand words. This  one speaks for itself, but I don't know if it even knows a thousand words. It is concentrating on muscle.  That and more muscle. Strong is strong!

Our granddaughter, Lauren is with it. She has it. She did it. It hurts my back just to look at this. 

God bless her determination. That is a strength in itself.

Mase Face

Mason doesn't look very happy, but it tickles me. These kids are great kidders. Don't think a little art work will cause much trouble.

I'm praying for Mason right now. He is having some health issues.  Praying they will find the cause and get him on the road to recovery. He has a loaded schedule and is much too busy to be sick.

We watched our president speak to a very large Michigan crowd this evening. It is so comforting to see for ourselves the progress that is being made in our country. We are getting back on our feet and flourishing, better than we have for decades. So glad to have a man who is not a politician, but one who genuinely cares about our country and our safety. He is working for us, not to line his own pockets.

 It is good to be in a free Republic where we are not told every step to take. May we avoid Socialism at all costs.

National Puppy Day

Last Saturday was National Puppy Day and I missed it.  So after the fact, I have to show how important my puppy is to me. She is loved so much that she could be spoiled, but as a school teacher and mother, I know better than to do that to her. She is a very good dog.  Here she is in one of her favorite spots...

To show how very good she is...she is an accepted member of the life group that meets at our home. She has to make the  rounds and let all the dog lovers  there know how much she appreciates their presence. 

Last night  she got very chummy during our meeting, but because she was so cute we all just smiled and let her get away with it. She  got up on the back of the sofa and cuddled Lin. Yes, she got away with it.

I would have posted this last night, but I was having computer trouble and my expert had already gone to bed and was sound asleep. As hard as I tried I had this spinning motion going on. The same thing happened this  morning, but my 'brilliant' husband was able to fix it for me...  quickly!  I can't tell you how very glad  I am to have a live-in computer guy. 

Share a Birthday

Ashley found out that her dad and Pusheen share the same birthday...February 18. She was so excited about that. She 'made' him  wear her shirt for a picture.  As you will read on the layout, he does not look ecstatic about this, but he did cooperate. Now it is officially acknowledged. They do share their birth date!

Hopefully they don't share any traits.

I really should have a  photo of Ashley to go along with this, since it was definitely her who instigated the whole thing; but  for some reason, I don't have one of her that day.  However,  I've added one of Mason and Chelle with Greg earlier that same day.

Proud of Our Children

I know this blog has been a little bit one sided this last week, but I just have to post this one more layout of Julia's birthday. I'm very pleased with the pretty pictures of this little star.

Can you tell I'm proud of all my grandchildren?  Does it show?  We are very blessed to have wonderful children and grandchildren.

They make me want to do all I can to save this wonderful country so that they will be able to grow and enjoy life as much as we have.  Freedom is certainly not something that  is found in many areas, especially in  2019. Many, many people are now openly espousing socialism. We must not let our freedom be taken away from us. 

Socialism has killed nations over and over again throughout history and the newest country to be suffering through it with their people starving is Venezuela. But even with that happening right out where we know about it, we see many people, mostly those who have not been taught history, praising that oppressive form of government. 

I beg of you to think  for yourselves and study so  that you can help keep us a free people.
