Tokyo, Japan

My son is in Tokyo. I am so excited for him! It is the adventure of a lifetime. He went with a friend. Here is a picture he has on his website.

Disney & Cocoa Beach

~

Well, I just came back from the most amazing Mother's Day ever! I went to Disney and Cocoa Beach with my children and we had a great time. We walked 6 1/2 miles and hit all the best rides at Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom & Epcot (ok, maybe not ALL the best rides but a good portion!)

Grandma & Grandpa's House

-


This house has a lot of meaning to me. When I was growing up we would go to my Grandparent's house almost every Sunday. My Grandfather had mini bikes, antique cars, an antique shop and all kinds of interesting stuff. Some of my best memories from childhood are of this place. It looks a lot different now. The swimming pool is gone, the orchard is not kept up or non-existent and the big pine tree in front is long gone, but the memories of all that come through when I look at these pictures.

This house seemed so big to me when I was little. It may not really be big, but it is huge in my mind and in my heart!

I hope I can be the grandparent that my grandparents were to me! :) RIP Viola Shores-Kennedy and Denton Shores, your memories live on!

Love Life

This really inspired me. I want to share it with the world because it is so powerful. It is really long but worth watching every minute of it. I am sure many have seen it before but I hadn't.

Enjoy!




UPDATE: July 25, 2008 Randy Pausch died from his cancer. RIP and thank you for your inspiration. You made this world a better place.

Cocoa Beach, Florida - Space Shuttle Launch

My daughter went to Cocoa Beach, her first trip without parental units. Weird for me, but fun for her! She made it there and back safely with her best friend. Here is a movie she took of the Space Shuttle launch at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Her friend is talking, she is so DRAMATIC!! Enjoy!

Destination Destin!!

Well, we made it to Destin. We stopped by and visited Chel on our way. It sure is nice here. Here is a video. Just ignore the strange whispering I did at the end!! I don't know why I felt I needed to whisper like that~!!??`~~!!. Oh well, enjoy!LOL It is supposed to be nice like this again tomorrow too!

Santa Monica, California

Over Christmas, instead of stressing out, my daughter and I went to California. It was so much fun. This was a weird Christmas because all the offspring are grown adults now. Such fun and here is a little clip of our adventures. This was in Santa Monica, I just can't get away from animals that love balls. If you know me, you will know about BANDIT and his love of balls!

Enjoy!
