Take Me Back Tuesday

Take me back to July of 2004! Wow, is it really almost the 4th of July?? The upcoming holiday makes me remember dressing my sweet Angel up in her patriotic outfit!! It was one of my favorites for sure, and so was the cute grin she was learning to use! In these pictures, she is about 3 1/2 months old!

A Day For Quotes ~Friends

Every once in a while the power of friendship astounds me.  This last week has once again reminded me of the blessing of friendship.  I have been truly blessed over the years to have acquired some awesome friends and have make many through blogging as well, so I give you Friendship quotes today.

 

Friendships begin because, even without words, we understand how someone feels. ~ Joan Walsh Anglund

 

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. ~ Arnold H. Glasow

 

 

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything. ~ Muhammad Ali

 

I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment. ~ Frances Farmer

 

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach

 

 

The difference between a friend and an acquaintance is that a friend helps; an acquaintance merely advises. ~ Calgary Bob Edwards

 

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. ~ Helen Keller

Pardon the Dust!

I thought it was about time to shake things up around here!

So pardon the dust, if you will as I tweak until I like it!

Have You Ever?

Have you ever, ever taken a chance on a friend?  A friend who has very little, and the little that is there bailed on him when he needed them the most?  

How could I not?  The bikers have taught me about friendship, and brotherhood and love.  How could I not?

 

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. ~ Jane Howard

Where In the World Wednesday? The Carnival, That’s where

It must be getting close to the 4th of July, because Carnival fever is running ramped in my house!  

Every year, during the last week of June, the Greeley Stampede rolls into town!  Billed as the world’s largest 4th of July Rodeo, the Bill Hames Carnival rolls right in with it! 

We learned all about the carnival when we were 3.  Dubbed the “motorcycle” she rode this little ride about 6 times in a row!  No interest in anything else! 

 

By the time brother was 3 we found the “real” motorcycles.  Too bad they aren’t having any fun!!

We also have a train

and an obstacle course that ends with the best slide ever! 

 

As we speak, the Stampede and the carnival are being set up!  One very cool thing is, that I work across from the park where it is all held, and we get to watch them setting up all week! 

I am sure next week I will have new pictures of what kind of chaos my 4 year old, and a 6 year old created at the carnival!  See then for the next Where in the World Wednesday! 

 

Where in the World have you been??  Go link up at Lemon Drop Pie!

 

Take Me Back Tuesday ~The Daddy

Take me back to June 6, 2006.  To that 6 week old baby with her Daddy!  I have a whole series of these pictures that I took with my old 35mm camera, you know the kind that you have to take the film out of to be developed!  This remains one of my favorite of that series.  Just seems fitting since it was just Father’s Day! 

P.S. Can anyone tell me where this baby with the fat cheeks went?  A sassy 6 year old seems to have come and replaced her :-)
