Thoughts...

 Be grateful....constantly to God.

Do not shame.  Love. Accept. Encourage. Be Kind.
Love yourself. Respect and be kind to yourself.
Be a blessing to somebody. 

Forgive.  To forgive someone does not mean you need to invite that person over for dinner. No. It means to free yourself from that burden and to move on.
God gives us rainbows.


When people show you who they are...believe them.
You are responsible for yourself.
You choose who you allow into your life.
Let love in. 

Care for yourself.  Do everything in moderation.
Embrace life.  Embrace your age. 

 Pray always.  It changes things.

Smile.  
You don't own all the problems in the world. 

If it doesn't nourish your soul, get rid of it. 

When stressed, do something that brings you comfort.
Such as, a nap, a cup of tea, a walk in fresh air, breathing fully, smile, light a candle and pray, have compassion for yourself. Avoid criticizing or tearing yourself or others down.

Try your best to say the right thing, true thing, the good thing.  Trust that things will work itself out in the end.  
All roads lead to God.

Hot Diggity!

Once upon a time, Bob Popson owned a '56 Chevy when Kris was a kid.  After many years Bob sold the car to Richard Tharp.  Fast forward to today....now Kris is the new proud owner of the '56 Chevy.  It still has the license plates that say POP on them.  Pretty cool!

(scroll down to the bottom and play the music, then come back up here and look at the pictures, thanks)

Love,

Turning Two is Too Much Fun!

 Cal Patton - the birthday boy!



 Cal Bear and his dog Sadie's tail.



Father and son in their hats. Cal will be playing on the Amish baseball team.











 Aunt Sarah blowing bubbles for the kids, they loved the bubbles, lots of screaming and popping them.



 Grandma Denise and Cal.



 The whole gang.



 These mason jar candles were hung along the backyard fence.



A glimpse of the Patton's backyard, it's georgeous.

An Afternoon in June

Grand Cayman Island

Christopher and I were lucky enough to get to visit Grand Cayman Island and stay at the Ritz-Carlton, it was fabulous and so much fun!



 I loved this shelf above the bathroom sink.
 Chickens on the golf course.

 A house on the golf course
 Lots of iguanas everywhere.

 My favorite chandelier at the Ritz.
 The food was out of control.

 Katie holding a stingray.
 Chris holding a baby sea turtle.

 We went to a car museum, it was someone's personal collection.
 There is a town called Hell on Grand Cayman Island.
