Visiting Zac in Cleveland ....

... life is good ~
some of our best times, walking, nature and a good talk. The only thing i felt was missing was our long lost Raffi, {Golden Retriever} darting on and off the trail, teasing us. Good times.

SO WHAT!

~ lOok WhaT i CaN dO! ~

... you can too~

(still haven't found my camera =0(

I CANT FIND MY CAMERA

so, i have very much to be GRATEFUL FOR ~
... but, i realized, my camera is not where i thought it was ... and, we've been not just putting in hardwood floors, because as i learned IF YOU GIVE A MAN A PROJECT... he will decide he needs to turn it into a process. If you put in new flooring the ceiling wont look right, if you dont want your wife to loose her mind, you replace the ceiling first, before you put down the new floors! ... and the list goes on. We also learned, much to our surprise, that WE're OLDer.

~ peace.

so, in light of this past month, plus, and originally intending to celebrate my ONE year of blog'ville ... which came and went without much pomp and circumstance ... I found this and wanted to share it!
....life is what happens when your making plans!

... enjoy the little things, for someday you may find they were the big things....
