So, you know it is going to be a good weekend when it starts off with this:








Followed by this:




The boys and I drove up to my oldest son's new home on Friday to spend the weekend........ It is about an hour and a half away....... and, we had a wonderful time!



I was surprised by the flowers and cake up there.......... very pretty and very yummy!



It was a fun-filled weekend, with trips to thrift shops and Goodwill looking for some things for his new place........ not much luck there really, just a few cookbooks, and I found a book for me by Luanne Rice...........and two lovely little paperbacks by Louisa May Alcott.....



and, we watched movies, the boys played games........... and we ate and ate and ate........



"All right, I thought you hid the camera from Mom before dinner"


"It's ok, boys, just be yourselves"



"Oh, ok Mom"






The weekend went all too fast..... so much so in fact, that we decided to stay an extra day, and actually headed back Monday night....... I can't wait for our next trip up........ possibly next weekend....... I'll take more pics for you, it's a lovely place!

Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life. Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.
