My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

I am a blogger, but not a very good photographer. I'm thinking about taking a class on line.
They have free ones available..
BUT........
Before then I think I'm going to try some of the photo challenges on some of the blogs I frequent.
The photo challenge for this week is "Framed"
Of course I couldn't pick one picture. Join in if you want.
Every Saturday they have a different theme.
I think my favorite is my bedroom ceiling...I love looking at that every day and night. it happily frames all my memories and thoughts.

Just me and my girls....


I know....I have 5 sons!!! but they each have a wife and so you see, I have "my girls"..The best moms, wives and friends in the world.
For their Birthday and Christmas for this year I took them to Park city to shop at the outlets..
But first...............
We had to eat at Baja Cantina
Delish






Then off we went to stay in the Honeymoon suite at the Best Western

by the outlets..



(snack shop)



(pool and game area)



kay..the honeymoon suite sleeps 6...I thought honeymoon meant 2 people...
(What do I know?)


bedroom with a king size bed





(a huge room with a hot tub)



Heather and Amy

Bridger came along and
loved all the attention♥


Annie came too..Our littlest addition
to the family



I gave the girls flash cash to go shopping !!

Annie is trying to decide if she is going to be a material girl or not!

♥♥♥♥
Before we headed shopping we went to the breakfast buffet, that is included with every room.
I will just say for the record, It was probably one of the nicest buffets I have ever been to.
Eggs, hash browns, ham, bacon and sausage, waffles, french toast, pancakes, yogurt, fresh fruit,
granola, reg. toast, juice, and hot chocolate


Cat napping before the shopping day begins


We found all kinds of treasures: boots, sandals, jackets
sweaters, tees, accessories, and jeans


none of us wanted to go home!!!!


I enjoyed so much being with my girls and having some down time with them.
I appreciate all they do to keep the families going.
♥♥
Birthdays and Christmas 2010 (done)
next year just might be a repeat!!!!
Thanks Amy, Marci, Heather and Liz..
Cindy was out of town....

Life is like a mirror reflecting your feelings, your actions and your thoughts. The Idea is that everything you experience in life is a reflection of yourself.

High School friends and dinner....

We had dinner at the Silver Fork Restaurant up Big Cottonwood Canyon..It's voted best Restaurant with a view...



Janet, me and Lynette

Becky, Lynette and Wendy






What fun to meet up with old friends and laugh and talk about the good ole days..
I felt like I was in my 17 year old body again.
Even though we live very different lives now,
there will always be that connection
of those high school years when we were all trying to figure things out.
Murray High School put out some babes, I'd have to say
Year of "68" yahoo!!!!!!

Taking time to ponder....

(air drying my tees)
Monday is catch up day...Do the Laundry...catch up on blogging
and reflect on the great weekend I had...



Part of that weekend was chillaxing with the g-kids and having
creamies...
If you want to know why I'm tired..read the next 2 posts
Have a great week everybody!!!!!

busy weekend......











































































My husband held a sales retreat in Park City Utah..We do this every year.

He gets the employees pumped up for the next year.


We stayed at the Chateaux...very close to- and run by- Stein Eriksons



highlights for me were:


all the delicious meals...yummo!!!!

flash cash given to all the wives to go shopping
movie with popcorn and drinks

dinner at Baja Cantina

box of Mrs. Fields cookies given to all the wives

everyone was given $10.00 and played in rounds of

checkers. When you lost you had to give up your money.

The winner could win $320.00

This is an amazing group of people..

They were inspired to go back to work and

sell, sell, sell...
