Miss Paige Emmaline Requests The honour Of Your Presence....
June 23 has always been my day of celebration.
This year I celebrated a monumental birthday, with a little help from my friends and the gift of a very special Grand daughter, it has been the most wonderful day I have ever experienced!!
Because of her expected arrival near the end of the month, plans for celebrating had to be re-arranged. Social events basically were put on hold, or moved to earlier in the month so that I could be available for my sweet daughter and the grand kids, and in case the baby came early.
There was talk of the possibility of her being induced on my birthday, however, my daughter really wanted to wait for the baby to come on her own.
We received the telephone call early Wednesday morning at 4:30a.m. alerting us that today, my birthday, was the day this sweet child would be born.
We arrived at the hospital shortly after 6:00 and Paige Emmaline arrived at 8:33.
She is our third Grandchild. Each one of them very dear to my heart. The sweetest is that we will always share this day and it will always be a special bond between us.
As I held her in my arms tonight I marveled at the handiwork of our Almighty God and thank Him for sending her to us to care for and teach. There will be wonderful times ahead that we will experience and share, and I am so excited to see this little girl explore and discover life!
And I will be there alongside her all the way!!<3

~ Carey Get Out Your Cane ~
37 years ago today, my Honey and I made a vow to Love, Honor and Cherish each other.
Looking back upon these years that have managed to shuffle by like cards in a deck, I see the events of our lives being systematically stacked together, one upon another.
We have enjoyed each other,given,taken and loved. Our secret? Honoring who we are and liking and respecting one another.We have learned this through the leading and our walk with the Lord.
Today, after meeting with others at Prayer Point and Coffee at McDonalds, we took our brisk walk along the sea wall.
I brought along my bathing suit and tan lotion and we headed down to the beach to get some sand between our toes.
The salt air carries promises of a great summer here, if I will commit to visiting.
We are basically alone here this morning. There are some early vacationers that stroll along the water break. CAUTION!!! SUNSCREEN REQUIRED!!! Cover your freshly buzzed head!
I long to linger and be sun drenched, walk into town barefooted,sporting that bohemian skirt, for a fish taco and some salsa.
Carey, get out your cane and I'll put on my finest silver~
Reminiscent of Joni Mitchell. Where is that album anyway? I must search for it on Amazon!
My birthday fast approaching, the world at my command, my beach combing honey at my side, I must gather my belongings and climb up the bank to "Walter" my ever faithful '67 V.W.! Ban the Bars!!!

~ 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!
