I have some beautiful yellow Conca d’ Oro lilies that grow under our bedroom window. These lily bulbs were a gift from Amara’s Mommy 4 or 5 years ago and I just love them. This year they are not quite as pretty as they were last year but that is my own fault. I waited [...]

Six years ago this morning Grampy and I got married. It was a wonderful day and the weather was California perfect. Amara was only 13 months old and she stole the show! She was such a pretty little flower girl. Our wedding was a family event. Amara’s Daddy gave me away. Her Mommy was my [...]

I was in the middle of making out my grocery list this morning when Jenna sent me a message and asked me if we could watch Amara for a couple of hours while she went to visit her Dad. I’ve told you before that going to the grocery store with Amara is so much more [...]

I think most of us have at least one special toy from our past that we will never forget. For me it was this big pink stuffed rabbit named Fluffy that had long floppy ears. A close runner up was my purple elephant, Dumbo. Amara has lots of toys, both here and at home. 2 [...]

Amara loves playing in water! She loves bubble baths. She loves jumping in mud puddles! She loves playing with the waves at the beach. She loves playing in the sprinklers and she LOVES being chased by Grandma and the hose. She loves getting drinks out of that hose that result in getting drenched. She loves [...]

It was a wonderful day for a birthday party and everything went perfectly. The weather man had predicted 72° with patchy clouds and it was exactly that – a perfect day for a bouncy house and 20+ kids to be in the backyard. Twiggy and Twursula could not have disagreed more.
