Well.......... hello there! I wonder if anyone still visits here..... it has been so long.



Hoping someone is still reading here!



Many changes in our life of course.......... the most exciting being this sweet angel:






Little "Stephen"............
born January 14th.......
another precious blessing from God!

He and his cousin, Joey sure make life worthwhile!



Since it is Spring, and a time for new changes, I thought I would experiment with a new look here as well........ just trying it..........hmmm........ don't know what I think yet........ I got the FREE background from this wonderful site:




and I really do love it! I just can't decide if it is all too crowded or "busy".......


Well, I really just wanted to pop in and say hi.......... I must confess it is wonderful to be "back"............ I hope I can find time to get back to regular posting........

Hugs to everyone!

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.
