Windchimes and Sunshine

Windmill

2012-01-07T07:28:00.001-08:00

There’s something about a windmill
So calming, don’t you think so?
The whirring sound so pleasant
Sort of lets your inner thoughts flow

Winter Cardinals

The Cardinal

The cardinal perched upon the limb
And chirped his song most gaily;
Welcoming a new sunrise
As was his custom daily...

Chicken Pen

2011-11-27T17:46:00.001-08:00

I was walking around a chicken pen

and these chickens were following me

everywhere I went. They had such

personalities that I had to take their pictures.

treasure hunter

A Little Squirrel

All summer long he collected his nuts
Burying them here and there
When it came to dig them up
He couldn’t remember where
He hid his treasure store

The moral of this tale
Be sure, there is one indeed
If you want to bury your treasures
And you ain’t that smart
Draw a little map, that will help for a start

David Harris

Humbly I give to You

2011-11-11T18:01:00.001-08:00

I Give To You, My Son
I held him as an infant; I hugged him as a boy
and through the years he has become my greatest pride and joy.

I love him more than I can say, his life more precious than my own,
but gone are the whims and notions of the little boy that I had known.

For the years have passed so quickly since the time it all began
and now he stands before me with the conviction of a man.

He wants to serve his country, he states aloud with pride
as I try to sort out the emotions that I'm feeling deep inside...

a union of the uncertain fear, which I cannot control
and the allegiance which lies deep within my patriotic soul.

I trust that my years of guidance will serve as a strong foundation
as he performs the duties requested from his beloved nation.

God please guide him as he travels to the places our soldiers have bled
and walk with him through pathways where those heroes' feet have tread.

Oh Sweet Land of Liberty, humbly I give to you, my son
praying you'll return him safely home when his work for you is done.

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing in the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah, darling

Gonna make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once and

Explode into space

Like a true nature child

We were born

Born to be wild

We have climbed so high

Never want to die

Born to be wild

Where it all began......

Every year our University has what is called "The Walk-Around. The Fraternities and sororities start in September working on these Displays. They start out has metal frames

And slowing tissue paper is added to chicken wire to create a work of art!

There is a lot of welding pieces together. Every single bit of the Display is tissue paper. there are moving parts and water features. Everyone starts with the same theme and then they make their creations come to life literally in hours.

To become a home staker,
Free land for any taker,
Fee, just twelve bits an acre.

Horses racing,
  Wagons tracing,
  Men on foot chasing.

Many who came that way,
  Started a new life with little delay,
  Had a new home to live and pray.

A new state was born that day,
  A state built a winning way,
  One State, One Day.

The Journey

2011-09-16T17:31:00.000-07:00

No one can take this journey but you.
There comes a time, in each of our lives,
when we are given the choice to follow this path.
Should we decide to embark on this journey,
we can never turn back.... Our lives are changed forever
On this journey, there are many different places we can
choose to slip into and hide. But the path goes on.

Boulder Bound!

2011-07-24T11:37:00.000-07:00

On Monday we rented a car and headed to Boulder.

Boulder is a place within it's self.

A lot of free spirits and free thinking.

First thing we had to do was EAT.

Of course we had to eat at the

CHEESECAKE FACTORY.

After eating pasta, my daughter and husband

shared a peanut butter cup cheesecake.

My daughter was in HEAVEN,

Me, I was content to watch them pig out. ugh!

I loved watching the street players.

Just about anywhere you would go in the downtown

area, you would see the street players.

Very nice and soothing to listen too.

Of course there were the street performers as well.

This guy juggled on a latter and unicycle.

Very intertaining. Of course I liked to

go in the shops and look around!

After a nice afternoon of hanging out in Boulder

it was time to say good-bye. We were tired and

ready to go back to the hotel room.

Tomorrow was another adventure!

and the saga continues

2011-07-23T10:51:00.000-07:00

so we left Burlington, Colorado with the

engine light on...and we coasted into this tiny

little town 110 miles from Denver. Yes I mean coasted!

Yes our transmission was GONE! We were not going ANYWHERE!

We were stuck in this small little town, with one gas station

and that was it. nothing else. What to do?

After we called a tow truck. We finally arrived in

Aurora, Colorado at 10:30 Saturday night.

We weren't going to Utah. We weren't going

Anywhere.

Until we got a rental...:)

It all started with....

2011-07-23T10:02:00.000-07:00

We left on our vacation to Utah last Saturday.

Everything was going great. We stopped in Burlington, Co

to see the Kit Carson Carousel

I have to admit it was pretty interesting.

I loved seeing all the different animals it had to offer.

The paintings were wonderful to look at.
So creative!

Brought me back to younger, earlier times of my life

Yes everything was going just fine, until we got back to the car

and noticed the engine light was on......

Water lillies

Meanwhile he painted them-water lilies

Floating on the surface of the pond

and motifs to paint" at the century's end

the new one begun with multiple explosions

of red, of pink, of white fleshy flowers

against a backdrop of a subsurface blue!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Teenage Fun!

2011-07-03T14:44:00.000-07:00

Best Friends!

Oh to be young again
to play in the a pool
do your nails, sip lemonade

to have no worries nor cares!
I remember those days,
the summer before my senior year.
not a care in the world.
Teenage Fun!

It's Hot

2011-06-26T19:36:00.000-07:00

It's going to be a VERY HOT WEEK!
I'm not looking forward to it!
I usually go walking during my lunch break,
but with temps like these, I don't know.
Hope your week is cooler than mine.

I'm so tired

2011-06-23T14:11:00.000-07:00

Here I sit at work

and I am sooooooo TIRED.

I've got up and walked around.

I got a cold drink of water,

I've done everything and I can't

seem to get out of this sleepy slump.

My Son called from Afghanistan last night,

it had been a while since we had

heard from him. It was good to hear

his voice and know he got there safely.

He says everything is very dirty...as in

dirt flies every where anywhere you go!

Nothing like a little grit mixed in your food!

My grandson almost got hit by a delivery truck.

Little stinker, was throwing a fit in the parking lot

of his pre-school and decided to run off and sit in

the middle of the road. Thank goodness the truck

driver saw my daughter run over to him to grab him.

He is going to summer school for the hard of hearing.

I think he heard his momma screaming at him!!!

Okay, that helped a little, talking I mean,

But I'm still tired. Thank goodness work

is almost over. I'm going to bed early tonight.

Unless my son calls again.... :)

Now I lay me down to Sleep

2011-06-18T20:08:00.001-07:00

It's been a fun day with the grandkids!
They are so funny to watch and play.

Heard from my son overseas!
Always nice.

The house is a mess...
and I really don't care.
There's always tomorrow.
I think I have broken a record
for the number of post in one day!
Whooo Hooo.

But now it's time for bed.
Reminds me of my prayers when
I was younger.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I Pray the Lord my Soul to Keep.
Amen

It's my Life!

2011-06-18T11:59:00.000-07:00

have you ever wondered what your plot in
life is? I mean, I know why I am here
and all of that stuff. But sometimes I
wonder what's it all about?
What's my niche in life?

I love my children. I have two
beautiful grandchildren, and a
husband that loves me.

But sometimes I wonder what is it
that I'm doing with my life?
I'm reminded of a song by Bon Jovi

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

I guess that's it, I just wanna live,
while I'm alive. Who knows what
the future holds. but I know I'll
have my husband by my side.
I guess that's all that really matters!

My Flowers

2011-06-11T07:57:00.000-07:00

These are my flowers!
I received them last night
at the botanical opening where
my husband works!

Aren't they just beautiful!!
and They are all mine!
I love them, you should smell
them. The aroma is to die for.

I mean it...literally to die for!
That is why I had to put them outside!
They were killing me this morning. :(
My nose was dripping and I was sneezing!
I put them on my back porch so I can look
out the window and enjoy them.
Darn these allergies!
Oh well, I thought I would let you enjoy
them too! (scratch and sniff) :)

sweet face w/ a gray mustache

2011-06-06T16:26:00.001-07:00

I was looking through
my pictures and found
some of our cat named
Buddy.

He was such a beauty.
He loved to curl up with
you when your were laying
down. He was always there
to help out when you
weren't feeling well.

For two days I could not find
him. Then I looked in his favorite
place among the flowers and there
he was crouched down. I knew then
that something wasn't right. After
taking him to the vet, we had found
out that among other things, his
kidneys had failed.
I sit here and cry
still remembering
what I went through looking into
his eyes begging for forgiveness
for having to put him down.
That was two years ago
and sometimes as I look through
our pictures, I find myself missing
him and remember his sweet face
with a gray mustache.

Slender Colors

Tornado Alley

2011-05-25T08:03:00.001-07:00

Yesterday Tornados ripped through the state of Oklahoma
where I live. Sirens went off like crazy and the meteorologist were
so busy trying to keep everyone informed that they barely had
enough time to report a tornado when another one popped up.
We were warned way ahead of time that May 24th would be
an awful day for tornadoes. The Governor asked everyone to
go home early so they would not be caught in the tornadoes
at rush hour. The plan worked and lives were saved.

Here in our town, there came an erie blackness follow by
total silence, the sirens were going off tell us to take cover.
All of the sudden the winds picked up and the rains followed
suit...straight line winds. Lucky for us our neighborhood was
spared a tornado, but on the other side of town a couple of
houses weren't so lucky.

No one was hurt in our town, our daughter down in Norman
was also spared. Others weren't so lucky, and for them
we say a prayer.
Another day, another tomorrow...another Tornado.
That's Life in Tornado Alley!

heiroglyphics of angels

They are the hieroglyphics of angels,

loved by all men for the beauty of their character,

though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning.

Lucky number 7

2011-05-20T08:07:00.000-07:00

I finally had my spinal tap on Tuesday.

was down for the day and half of Wednesday.

I'm finally getting to the point where I am feeling

better.

Each time they stick that needle in my back it's

totally different situation.

I don't think I ever will get use to it.

This one was number 7. Aaaah lucky number 7!

Let's hope I can make it another 4 months.

Head in a Vice

2011-05-12T08:41:00.000-07:00

I suffer from Psuedo Tumor Cerebri.

Unexplained fluid build up, which causes

horrendous headaches!!

It feels like my head is in a Vice.

I have to go in for a Spinal Tap every3 to 4 months.

I'm not looking for pity,

no it's not that, it's just
Misery Loves Company!! Ha!

I guess I really have nothing to complain
about, there are people worse off than I am.
But still, Misery Loves Company and I could
use some right now, but could you wait until
after the spinal tap, I'm usually down for the day.

2011-02-25T08:06:00.001-08:00

This is my little girl, last one on the right
She was 4 yrs. old and hadn't a care in
the world!
She grew older and started developing
her own special personality.

there is 6 and 9 years difference between
her siblings, but they love and take care
of her. She is the baby of the family!

as time goes on she has blossomed
and become her own independent
individual. With a little bit of her
brother and sister ingrained in her soul.

Today she is a beautiful 17 yr. old
who knows what she wants and
isn't afraid to go for it.
Yet deep down she is still
Momma and Daddy's little girl!!

sitting here wishing I was at home!!
Pick up the Pieces Sharon, and move
along....

2011-02-20T17:26:00.000-08:00

I'm really feeling quite Blah!
I know I need to exercise but

tell me to get off my lazy butt,
and do something about myself!!
So for now, I'm feeling
BLAH!!!

My Youngest Joy

2010-12-10T12:42:00.001-08:00

This is my redhead
namesake. KeLei Lynne.
She adds laughter to our
house!

Her best friend since 6th
grade has been Autumn

She loves to rock-climb.

She has a very special relationship

with her father.

and she keeps up YOUNG!!

Love you KeLei Babes!

My Oldest Joy

2010-12-09T13:24:00.000-08:00

Here are my two daughters.
This Post is about my oldest!
Some say she looks like
Hermoine from Harry Potter!

She has a husband whom she loves

and adores. He is her eternal

mate.

Her two beautiful children are

her pride and joy, her ups and

downs. Her LIFE!

She has a brother whom she

has always been close too. even

when she hogties him.

She has a bond with her
younger sister that cannot
be broken. Some say Aub
is cute, and her sister is
beautiful! I say they are
both Daughters of God.

My Son

2010-12-08T07:10:00.000-08:00

Since this is the Christmas Season
I thought about sharing the three
Joys of my life. My Children.
I'm starting with my son first.
He is my only son,who loves his
family more than life itself. He calls
whenever he is on weekend drills
to see how everyone is.

This is his wife Samantha.
They have been married for
1 yr.
Dallin loves his sisters. He has a
very close relationship with his
older sister since they have been
through so much together. He is
the protector of his younger sister.
Heaven help the man she marries.

He adores his nephew and niece. He loves the outdoors.

But most of all he will defend his

country. He comes from a long line

of military soldiers who have served

their country during war.

For this, I love my son.

fall colors on campus

2010-11-19T12:24:00.001-08:00

The Oklahoma State University Campus is
all a glow of organges, reds and brown.
Fall is definitely in the air.

Pumpkin Patch

2010-10-24T14:04:00.001-07:00

Yesterday KeLei and I took Samuel to
the "Kumpkin Atch" as Samuel likes to call
it. I don't know if it was because he didn't
have his hearing aides in, but he just couldn't
say the letter "P"

They couldn't decide which pumpkin to
choose. There were so many out in the
field.

Samuel LOVED the big ones. We finally
settled on a small one he could carry.
I was going to get a picture of him carrying
his pumpkin, but he started getting sick
and threw-up all over Grandma. We went
home a little earlier than planned.

A day in the Garden

2010-10-10T17:11:00.000-07:00

Grandmother

2010-09-30T15:50:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of my dear Grandmother
with my cousin Carley. Grandmother died
last week and I will miss her greatly.
She was such a great woman to be around,
always had a smile, was a very good cook
and was always willing to help out anyone.
At her funeral all my relatives were there,
most I hadn't seen in such a long time.
Isn't it a shame that it takes a funeral to bring
family together. Here are some pictures of
my "family". I can't publish anymore. the server
is down. That will be my next post.

I love you Grandmother

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!!!

Colors Galore!

2010-08-20T17:40:00.000-07:00

Last year we went to the museum in OKC

and saw this colored glass display. It was

absolutely BREATHTAKING!! The colors

were so Brilliant and magical. I've heard

of the artist before and wanted to see his

work. But, for the life of me I can't remember

who he was.

Anyway....Enjoy!

The little things in life

2010-08-04T07:33:00.000-07:00

There are the little things in life that make
life worth living.

1. having a grandson who hands you
toilet paper while your sitting on the
toilet, then makes sure you wipe
properly and flushes the toilet for you.

2. a granddaughter who slobbers all
over your face while giving you
slobber kisses.

3. a grandson who draws his artwork
all over your quilt and desk, then makes
sure he draws on himself so you won't
feel so bad. oh, did I tell you it was a
permanent marker?

4. a granddaughter who so graciously
spits up all over you so you don't forget
her scent. better than that $75.00 bottle
of perfume I tell you!

5. a daughter who lays in the middle
of your bed at 10:00 at night making
sure you know she loves you a million times
over! oh, don't forget the take my breath
away hugs. no I mean really,
she squeezes you until you can't breath!

6. A son who sits in the emergency room,
who doesn't know, who you are, and
ask you over and over why he is there. Then
there is that little sparkle in his eye when
he realizes it's mom, I don't know her name,
but she is my mom!

7. A daughter-in-law who graciously takes
your son home, fixes his dinner, and wakes
up several times during the night to make
sure her husband is still there, breathing
and moaning w/ a headache.

8. A son-in-law who unselfishly takes
care of your daughter and grandchildren so
you don't have to worry about them. Who puts
up with his mother-in-laws silly little antics,
and makes you laugh with his jokes.

9. A daughter who sometimes gives you
credit for raising her right.
By raising her own children in the light
of the gospel. Who listens to her mom,
even when she has other things to do.
Excuse me who more important here??

10. Most importantly a husband who
loves you unconditionally,
Who is by your side, through sickness
and health. who will laugh with you
while you stand looking in the mirror
at your "love handles"
and who loves you no matter what!!

That's what makes the little things in life
worth waiting for!

2010-07-24T18:35:00.000-07:00

David and I decided to take Friday off
and go to Norman to see the kids. I needed
a break from work. We stayed at Embassy
suites. The room was really nice. It had a
sitting room, bathroom and bedroom.
We really enjoyed our time away.

The view from the bedroom was not to good
It was the roof top of the swimming pool.
when we pulled the curtains the room went
totally dark. We slept in until 7:30am. That's
sleeping in for us!

3 day weekend!

2010-07-05T08:41:00.000-07:00

David and I decided to go and relax on the beach.
We thought we would take advantage of our three day weekend
It was great and we really enjoyed it!!!

Don't we look great!! It was soooo relaxing!

Quit...Leave me alone. Dang it someone just woke me up

from a wonderful DREAM!!

Maybe one day I'll get that relaxing day on the beach,

for now....I guess I'll go to the movie w/ KeLei and

see Eclipse!

AAAaaaa but that beach sure felt nice!

Memorial Day Memories

2010-05-31T15:16:00.000-07:00

This is my dad!

My dad fought in Vietnam..

two tours of duty.

He was a helicopter piolet.

The first time he was there

Dad flew Hueys,

The second time

It was Chinooks.

Dad won medals for saving lives,

and many men depended on him.

Some of his friends did not make it back.

We are so Thankful dad did.

Thank you dad for giving my family

and me the freedoms we enjoy each day.

I would say Happy Memorial Day,

But it seems to ironic.

Instead lets think of the men and women

who put their lives on the line for us everyday.

and for those who gave their lives

for our FREEDOM.

This is the Oklahoma Botanical Garden studio grounds.
I really like the research center.

I thought this was a really cool shot of a tree and bushes.

looks like an umbrella

They have various themes in the garden. This section

was using containers around the house. Love this

planting.
