A tribute to Rach!

Most of you know my dear sister, Rach! I had the wonderful chance to live with her this past year! Since that time we've moved FAR away, but I'm thankful that I had the chance to get to know her better...

Rach:
I love you for so many reasons. I love that no matter what the circumstance, you can find something funny and cheer everyone! I love that when you laugh, you laugh with gusto! I love that you never, ever think inside the box. I love that you push me outside of my comfortable box. I love that you have a huge servant heart that is always thinking about others. I love that you love gifts and giving gifts. I love your zest for life! I love that you love and trust Jesus! I love you!

Happy Birthday my sister and my friend! :)

Happy Labor Day!

I hope you all had a relaxing day! Here is my day in pictures...

A delightful bike ride to the beach...this is what stories are made of...

Scenery along the way!

My improved living room with curtains, a little lamp and a happy picture purchased from a dear friend. :) Beautiful Floridian Sky

A delightful picnic and ball game to end the day!

Changes with Jasmine...

Have you ever had one of those experiences where you recognize something, but you know that it has changed? For example, your best friend loses weight. You aren't around her for sometime. You see her again and you can't help but look at her repeatedly. Something familiar has changed. So, I've had this experience recently, only it wasn't with a human. No, my little Jasmine, my traveling companion, has changed. She and I have gone many miles together and yet here we are looking very differently...sadness, yet happiness, too!
