One of those “DAYS!”

Do you ever have one of those days when you look around your home and everywhere you look there is something to re-do or clean-up?!

I usually get in this mood with the change of the seasons. Since it is now officially Fall in California, I am in a mood.

I guess I should just re-group prioritize and dive in!!

What do you do when this kind of mood hits you?

“Enjoy the Process” (If you can) Of:

Getting it all pulled together around the house!

Being Centered!

We have all heard of Being Centered in reference to ourselves. Being centered is important in going through life. Today I am not talking about our personal beings. Today I am talking about our homes actually our entry halls.

I have always been attracted to center hall tables. I have not found too many examples of center hall tables. It is probably because our homes are not as grand as they once were or as spacious.

I for one would love to have a center hall table but alas my home is not large enough. Instead of having a center hall table I will just dream and look at images of center hall tables like the following…………..

This is gorgeous!

I don’t know about you all, but I feel sooooo centered now!!!

“Enjoy the Process” Of:

Enjoying images of something you love!

Celebrating “60” In Egypt!!

As some of you know I have been on a three week vacation to Rome and on a Mediterranean cruise.

 Hubby and I went with two other couples that are long time family friends. While we were on this trip I celebrated my 60th Birthday. Here are just a few pictures of what I did on my 60th.

It all started the night before where Hubby surprised me with a Birthday dinner in the beautiful Murano restaurant on board ship. The dinner was amazing and the company was the best!

I am the Birthday girl sitting at the table with the love of my life.

A special Birthday cake. Yum chocolate, my favorite!!

The waiters singing Happy Birthday with all kinds of accents and notes!!!

The next day off to Egypt to see the pyramids!! My son wrote this Happy Birthday note to me……..

I wanted to wish Mom a Happy Birthday! Not sure I'm comfortable with the symmetry of being born on Friday the 13th and visiting the Pyramids, a place renowned for ancient curses and all other manner of spooky stuff on the same day, but to each his...her own. ;) Hope you enjoyed your day and I'll see you guys when you get back. Love you!

That is right I was born on Friday the 13th 60 years ago!!! Love his sense of humor.

It was a bit windy but warm and lots of dust in the air. The little numbers on our shirt are our bus numbers. Trust me there were a LOT of buses there!!!

This picture not only shows the line-up of buses but the two largest pyramids and the Sphinx. It was truly amazing to be there in person.

A close-up of the largest pyramid. Our tour guide told us the pyramid weighs over 11,000 tons. Amazing!

This is a great shot of the individual stones and how they stair step upward.

Full length of the Sphinx.

 

I had to take a picture of this image.  Yes, even in Egypt they have one of these……….

Then we sailed off into the sunset……….

………Tired and full of awe. This is a Birthday that this girl will never forget!!
