his most loved flowers bloomed again. I took a couple of blossoms and laid them in a abalone shell I found in his backyard (dash of water for them to bathe in).

i watched "julie and julia" the other night and had to get the book. I'm excited about trying out some recipes. i can't believe it's taken me this long to buy it since I've i had the "joy of cooking" and "betty crocker" cookbooks forever!

{day 46} getting warmer


get warmer, originally uploaded by MaggieRDA.

Ian pulled this out of his closet the other day. It was how they used to warm his bottles when he was in the NICU (fill the jug with warm water, drop the bottles in and they'd gently warm up). I still remember the sweet ehart of a nurse who decorated his warmer.

{day 36} Lagoon Valley Lake


{day 36} reflecting, originally uploaded by MaggieRDA.

looks serene doesn't it?

{day 36} sun beams
For long-time Vacavillians, we know this place...not as a "lake" per say but more like a big pond. I went out there today to see what I could see.
{day 36} peaceful
This little guy was fun. He'd "pose" dive under water, return and pose again.

You can see the rest of my pictures from this day here

{day 34} ♥
this is truly better than gold or diamonds to me. better than a pile of money or lotto tickets. It's my Dads journal he kept during the war. It was comforting to see his writing, to hear him talk through what he wrote. I miss him.

{day 32} thankful, originally uploaded by MaggieRDA.

I am ever so thankful for so many, many things. Thankful for friends who took time from their busy lives to send up a prayer for me, some more than once, while I was in the hospital. I am thankful to be home again and for renewed health and thankful for the miracles I found while hospitalized.

Thank you friends♥
