Thoughts

I recently visited my sister-in-law who lives about 1 1/2 hrs away. It's just at that range where it's hard to get out and visit each other so we don't see each other much. Sharon is the sister I never had. When I'm down, she always has a Scripture verse for me and an encouraging word. It was a very relaxing time and we got to talking about family and how we often don't stay in touch like we'd like. I commented that the older I get, the more I realize that life is all about the relationships we have. Our relationship with God has to be first and needs to be continually growing and then it's the people in our lives that are important, well, and for me, my pets are important too. :-) At the end of our lives, when we are in a nursing home, it won't be the car that comes to see us, or our house that comes to see us but, the people that we've taken time to build a bond with. It's the people that will call to brighten our day or send a card or come and visit. I try to stay in touch one way or another with my family and friends even though it is usually not as much as I'd like. If I don't call, I try to send an email just to stay in touch. Today was Memorial Day and my son and daughter came over, my husband's parents and my sister-in-law. We had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and it was a wonderful day. There were more happy memories created to think back on over the years.

Got my jewelry!

I got one of the rings I ordered from the free jewelry site and it is really pretty! I am really happy with it especially for the price. You would never guess I only paid $5.99 for it. One thing I will say, though, is that the rings run big. I normally wear a size 7 and this one is a 7 but is much too big for my ring finger. I have to wear it on my index or middle finger. Keep that in mind when ordering. Also, they can be resized but there is an anti tarnish coating on them and something else, (they tell you on the website) so you have to make sure if you take it to be sized that the jeweler knows how to bring it back to it's original shine.

The weather is beautiful today, sunny and 60s. Perfect weather as far as I'm concerned.

It's been a while, again, since my last post. March was pretty much snow, snow and more snow, April was rain, rain and more rain with a little snow mixed in and May has been pretty nice. We lost our canoe with all the rain. It was tied up at the lake but the lake came up so high that it was floating for a while, was full of water and then it was gone.
