Things that keep my mind off other things...

This is my favorite time of year because...
Races, weekly races! And the excitement and pure joy it brings my sweet husband.
Aniston loves them too! She is the best cheerleader and cow bell ringer around.



Halloween is my favorite because...I love the cool weather, the smells, the candy, the parties and trick-or-treating, dressing up, AND the decorations! I've wanted this cat to add to my decor, but refused to pay full price. I had to buy it though, Aniston was brave and put her hand in the scary trick-or-treat bowl, and I like to keep my word...

Speaking of the little Miss...she keeps me going. She has been the best hug and kiss and love giver and I have enjoyed all of it! She is learning the letters in her name, playing dress-ups, building towers for her princesses, singing Halloween songs, reading books from the library, and playing Hungry Hippos all day every day!

And I, I keep looking at this picture. I can't help but think of and admire those who have gone through trials bigger than my own. I can't get enough of my own family and each of my friends, and how good they are to me.
