hot weather hair cut

lily and i are thinking about stephen and his first day at work in New York City today..oh, and Lily is just happy to be cooler with her new slick haircut...she doesn't mind that her head is a different color than the rest of her body..

Blog, Revisited

a beautiful evening for a salad outside at chowders..i LOVE this weather--83 degrees with a light breeze caressing my face..it's been forever since i've posted here..since getting this job where i am at my computer quite a bit, i just haven't felt like sitting down at it again; hope to start up..

memorial day weekend coming up already..

Just in time for company...

the knock out roses in the side yard decided to show themselves just before the new jersey family comes for a visit! it will be nice to enjoy the color and the people together in celebration!!  i am very excited to welcome the Reilly's to Toledo!!

a morning hike

beautiful way to start the day.  oak openings hike, led by Amy-Marie Babcock..pic with Pam Griesinger, Patrice Victor and Cindy Baker....Mallard Lake is behind us..not strenuous at all, but amazingly calming and peaceful

california and sarah!

 i like staying in debbie blum's place in beverly hills, although i think it's time to check out a new neighborhood

 although she kept saying, "it's a worthless degree," she still found some smiles;  ceremony took place in the Shrine Auditorium--a beautiful place on the USC campus

A happy bride

reception at the Jupiter Beach Resort..on the veranda by the pool..fun reception--lots of dancing;  loren and amy are close, and became even closer by going through the dying process of his mother (her grandmother) together..

florida

grainy pic on beach in florida, but it was just about dark--beautiful moon that evening and such wonderful, warm breezes..

bride and groom

rehearsal dinner with amy and chris..good-looking couple and very very happy!

another step closer...

..to a life-changing event;  received their invitation today--custom designed by stephen..i cried when i heard steve met this kathleen, as he was behaving so unlike himself, i cried when i heard he was going to ask her to marry him, i cried when they became engaged, i cried when i got this invitation...
what is the wedding day going to be like?  i will need a truck load of tissues..

tears of pure joy

spring changes

if only we all could be so beautiful as we go through transitions..wait--just got a nudge from my heart--We Are

so much beauty to celebrate this amazing spring morning...

interview

not your ordinary lobby area..in the Cleveland Clinic wellness center--beautiful but a stressful day..
