IF New

This cat is happy with his NEW pet! His owner can't understand where the fish keep going. He has had 3 pets in the last month. I can't imagine can you. Happy New Year to all of you. I am planning on a new and peaceful year filled with wonderful things. A bit cold here but I can't complain we are really spoiled in Ca. as the weather is usually so mild. Have a good rest of the week!

IF Glow

The Magic Egg seemed to glow in the Moon light. They stood amazed and delighted as they looked at it! I remain amazed and dazed as the year ends. Not been a particularly wonderful for me and my family. But certainly not as bad as many of my fellow man. I wish you all a better and healthy year ahead and love and laughter too!

Snow baby angels dance in the cold winter weather! I think snow is an unnatural state for water. Growing up at the beach I love the warm season and beautiful ocean. But different strokes for different folks. I still a bit numb from the losses my family has had this year and topping it off my beloved cat Sadie passed away on Saturday. She had been my faithful companion for 12 years and for the first time in over 20 years I find myself cat less. Seems funny and I keep expecting to see her come around the corner. No pets for a while I need to take time to reflect on the past year and how to make the best of it. Thank goodness for the kids and their kids to make the holiday somewhat normal. I think of the parents and families of those lost in Connecticut everyday. I can't even imagine their loss. My thoughts and prayers are being sent to them. May they be able to breathe in this time of grief. I will try to dance like the snow babies and I AM thankful for all of my blessings!And I hope for a new and better year ahead for all of us!

IF Explore

These curious kids are about to explore the noises they heard in the dark. I would have never been so brave but then I was always a bit afraid of the dark. Been busy trying to get over the punch in the stomach life has hit my family with. My Aunt passed in May, my Mother in August, my ex husband and Uncle in October and now my beloved cat has Lymphoma. I know it will get better but WOW I don't seem to be able to relax. Life can be tough......but I'm hanging in there. Hope your life is better than mine has been lately!

IF Carry

 This little girl is able to carry her flowers home in this green basket...Im not sure if she will be surprised by this little pink worm hanging by the vine in front of her.                        

IF Suspend
Rabbit is a bit surprized as he is suspended by his suspenders! Frog is thinking that his friend has jumped a little to high!

IF Refresh

I'm sure this little Bear and his Rabbit friend find these snacks and Lemonade very "Refreshing".
Trying hard to figure out this new format for the blog site...Ugg , why can't they leave well enough alone? Mom broke her foot and it has been a hard week. A 93 year old woman with a bad memory and short temper is not easy to deal with! I find myself soooo tired at the end of the day even with help from the kids. Oh well life marches on! Im hanging on by my fingernails........But Im sure we will get through it! Hope you are doing the best you can too....have a great day, I hope too!
