Music Monday! We Are Young

-

We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

A great song for today, as we attack the new week after a wonderful weekend!


We went ziplining on Saturday with a friend who was visiting from out of town.

WHOO HOO! 
If that doesn't make you feel young, I just don't know what will.

I am not showing you the next picture of my face as I realize I started braking too soon and was going to land short of the platform.....

But what a fun ride. 

I also got to celebrate mother's day along with my youngest's 14th birthday.

My daughter's gift to him was this:
An incredible home made and decorated cake of exactly what he asked for on it.



(it's a video game on his wish list - doesn't come out until the fall so he is wishing far in advance...)




It was painful to watch the birthday boy cut into that piece of artwork.


But he carefully got exactly the piece he wanted. And it was delicious.




It was a perfect Mother's Day weekend.
We set the world on fire.
We burned brighter than the sun.
And felt young, even if some of us aren't.....

Hope your Monday is brighter than the sun, and that no one has to carry you home ~ but if you need it, that someone will.

    You will LOVE Zipping! It is great being out in nature like that - I am always amazed at the quietness of being so deep in the mountains.

    I suggest you give it a try!

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
