A Skydazzler's Life Unwrapped...

Make a wish... Happy Birthday Darling!

Happy Birthday sweetie.  I hope you have a "spook-tacular" Birthday.  See...this is why I love him so much.  What a sense of humor.  This is what happened when I said this was a picture for the blog birthday.  LOL

Pretty Pedi's

For Mother's Day we got Randa & Bree gift certificates for pedicures to spoil themselves.  They both are great Mom's and don't spend much on themselves for luxury things. I got one for myself too, with the idea we could all go together.  You know, have a little Mom/Daughter bonding time.  Well, we had a great time and this is the results! Pretty toes! 

I had a Birthday! Yippee Me!

I love Birthdays and I feel so blessed to be having them still.  We had a nice celebration with the family and went to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner.  See if you can figure out how old I am? 

My Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day, a surprise just like when the girls were little.  Randa & Bree surprised me at a little after 8:00am with breakfast!  They had wanted to do the "breakfast in bed" but I surprised them by being up and dressed when they got here.  They brought over yummy scrambled eggs, sausage and pancakes.  Along with a large Starbucks coffee in my new Mothers Day Starbucks Travel Mug.  They also got me a big bag of starbucks coffee beans...yummo!... and brought me carnations!  Can you say spoiled? Thank you to my wonderful son-in-laws Kyle x 2 and grandson Garret for making the breakfast also.  They all stayed for about an hour before heading out to Church.  It was a super surprise by thoughtful childrens.  Thank you, Thank you.  What a super-fun_delicous way to start my day.  BDB and I just kind of hung out for the morning, ran an errand or two.  Of course tried to go by a shoe store and buy Mother's Day shoes. Didn't have any luck though.  Darn.  What? You mean you don't go buy Mothers Day shoes?  Hey any Holiday or excuse works for me.  wink, wink!   In the afternoon we got a call from the youngest, who was over at the coast for Mother's Day, saying that they forgot to leave the remote garage opener to get the dog since they were going to spend the night over at the coast.  BDB tried getting in, but for once the kids locked the house up tight!  So Dad & Mom to the rescue........and we drove over to meet them half way at Spirit Mountain.  Got the fun of driving behind someone who wobbled and weaved in and out of his lane into on coming traffic and over the fog line. ACKKKK! We didn't know if the man was drunk or just couldn't handle the country roads but I was scared that he was going to hurt someone. I got the license plate number and BDB called and reported the driver.  We finally saw a Sheriffs unit go by us just before we got off the highway at Spirit Mountain.  Our guy followed us off though.  Ugh....   Anyway, met up with the kids, grabbed the remote and turned around and headed back to Salem.  We did detour to Monmouth to the Burgerville for a fresh Strawberry Milkshake.  Again...yummo!  haha  I had a wonderful Mother's Day, full of fun, surprises and yummos. Can't beat it.   

Happy Mother's Day!

"A Mother's Love"

No Love like a Mother's Love

There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.

When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.

March for Babies - March of Dimes needs you!

There is still time to sponsor me and donate to MOD.  I am about half way to my goal in donations and support for the March for Babies on Saturday, April 26^th.  I can’t do it without you and your support!  March for Babies needs you.  I have included a picture of my granddaughter, Haley who you all remember was born at 25 weeks and weighed 1lb, 12oz. Six years ago was fighting for her life in the NICU at Providence St. Vincent’s Hospital.  She stayed 83 days there while she grew, learned to eat and could breathe without a ventilator.  She came home weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs.  Haley and her twin sister Ashlyn, were considered micro preemies and they do not know why the girls were born so early.  Haley today is a happy healthy 5 year old who is so excited at the prospect of losing her first tooth!  Won’t you please take a moment and make a donation to help save babies from premature birth.  Your donation is tax deductible.  www.marchforbabies.org/robinbischof

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Erin Go Bragh!

To all my family and friends, Happy St. Patty's Day and I wish you "The Irish Blessing".  May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your back.  May the sun shine upon your face.  The rains fall soft upon your fields.  And, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
