Hello at end of a lovely Mothers Day!


Here is a lovely gal who makes being a Mom (and Grandmom, in my case)a lot of fun! This picture is angelic, but she was a terror all day today!!! Lots of energy and never slows down, to where we are all exhausted by noon!!! Hahaha...in this case, looks can be highly deceiving! :) This picture was taken a few days ago at our favorite bakery...the lighting was so perfect!

This is a hodgepodge of pictures over the last few days. Below is a fish dinner a friend received at a dinner he and his wife took our family out to! Isn't it magnificently presented???

I took the grand-kids over to a local hotel to see the swans in the lobby! They swam right over to us and seem to enjoy their water hole there. I don't know what made me think of it, but the swans have been in this hotel for many years, and they enjoyed seeing them. We also rode the elevator to the top floor as it is glass and we could see the swans from above. Then we went to check out the pool area to decide if we might come over and spend one night this summer there and just play. I think they determined that it would be "awesome"!!!


Just a few days before Mothers Day I saw these cute baby ducks frolicking in the puddles at the grocery store and the mother was standing by the edge just watching them play. It was so sweet. The pics are blurry...it was drizzling rain and I was being threatened to being run over while trying to quickly snap the photo!!! Hehehe. I live dangerously!!! :)


Hope all of you had a wonderful Mom's Day, and will have a great week coming up. Tomorrow is my first day on new job...wish me luck!!!
xoxo- Julie

A duck story...

We have Muscovy ducks all outside our grocery store. There is a nearby water source, and they, of course, waddle over for the food. They are a really neat addition to the shopping experience, in my opinion, and we enjoy seeing them and their babies and how they frolick. Well today...


we were walking out of the grocery store and a man said "Those things are the ugliest things ever", and then added, "Even a vulture is better looking"! I laughed at that, I mean who is gonna be offended, the duck??? But about 3 seconds afterward, I felt bad...because I find the ducks to be seriously BEAUTIFUL. I was really sad that he couldn't see that.
