It's a pretty good day when.....

.... you pin this on your Pinterest board, and your child clicks the 'like' link...

One of the greatest things about having your children grow up is the
relationship transition from parent TO friend... of course they'll always be your child, but what grandiose and unabashed joy to call them friend!

For Christmas one year I embroidered the saying

'My Mother, My Sister, My Friend' for my mom...

Hands down, this adorable and amazing girl IS

'My Daughter, My Sister, My Friend'...

and I honestly couldn't have better in all three.

I love you more than life itself, Sar Bear...

YOU ARE LIFE and everything that is wonderful
and good and beautiful and marvelous!
Thank you. <3

Revelations, 11/8/16 and the apocalypse...

Lake McDonald, Montana

Have I ever talked about my thing for rocks? Have had it since I was a little girl.... loved to collect rocks and go to rock shops. I even have a few sitting next to my bed (nothing bigger than what fits in the palm of your hand) right now that've caught my fancy the last year or so... or that someone's given me. Like the small white one Ally gave to me from our trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, at the Quileute Indian Reservation beach (okay, yeah... so it was really to see 'Twilight' country, but we saw some pretty amazing scenery as well)... and then a black rock Rob found on our trip to the Oregon Coast last year. Anyway... there's this lake in Montana ... Lake McDonald ... obviously from the subject heading... and it's got shores of brightly-colored rocks. So guess what got added to the bucket list as soon as I saw the photos? Yep... I will go there... for the rocks.... just to see the pretty colors.
