~ SUMMER IS SOON TO ARRIVE AND NEW BEGINNINGS TO COME~

In a few days, the month of June will be opening the door to beautiful Summer weather and new beginnings for me.
~You see~ June is MY month~ I was born in the month of June and the day my Darling and I wed is in this month.
This year I am celebrating a monumental Birthday with much excitement, as I am to share My month with a new little gift from Heaven. God is delivering the sweetest of gifts to us, a new Grandaughter.
It is with much anticipation and excitement we await the arrival. What bettter gift could a Grandmere' ask for than another darling "Princess" to dote upon!
This does help me to ease into another decade, but truth be told I still feel about 40!
These Blessings of Grandchildren are a laurel about my neck, a gift from the Most High God.
I Praise Him and thank Him for the opportunity to share my wisdom, joy, and humor with these little people who will one day be Grandparents themselves!

Up, Up, With People, You Meet Them Where Ever You Go....

Just receintly we were privilaged to host some foriegn students from Belgium who are part of the group, Up With People. They are touring the Phillippines, United States and Mexico for a 6 month tour.
We hosted two lovely young ladies, Maurine and Delphine.
They were very sweet girls and we had a lovely time, enjoying our evenings at dinner and a Sunday outing to San Diego and dinner at La Pinata in Old Town.
The girls made us a fantastic pasta dinner and crepes for desert one night.

They preformed with the 90 member cast at the Moonlight Amphitheater. What a fantastically talentedd bunch of kids!!
And, I have to say, our two girls were the *Stars*.

We had no idea how quickly the week would go by, and when Monday morning arrived, We did not want to part. They are now part of our family and in our hearts forever.

~MAY DAYS AT BEVERLY COTTAGE~

Spring has definitely arrived with her lovely paint brush touching the barren plants with colorful blooming buds. Color touches the ground painting a carpet of soft greens, inviting the spring bunnies to romp about and chomp the tender chamomile. This morning we spied a gray bunnie and a black rabbit visiting.
Soon we will have the new nest of babies playing about the back yard. It is so cute when they play and hop straight up into the air!

The birds are nesting. A flock of Cedar Waxwing flew into the yard and visited the bird bath the other day. We just happened to be standing at the window to witness this. The Bluebirds are gracing the yard and birdsong is a float through the air.
We have had a mixed bag of weather. More rain this year than most urges the plants to burst forth and surprise us with the beauty it offers, showing us God's gift of
beauty in nature.
I love spring and all that it offers. It is a gift of new beginnings, and a gateway to summer and outdoor living activities!
