Most recent cut and color - light again? I need to make up my mind. You vote - light or dark?

Mom has too many issues this year: Skin cancer on her back that needed removed and an epidermoid cyst on her head that left a HUGE bald spot after it healed. Is mom falling apart? I think not - not getting rid of her yet people!

After trying to upload more pictures for about an hour-and-a-half, I gave up. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow or another day. At least I finally put something new on the blog - yay me!

Dad will be home for a visit in five weeks. Thinking about his visits makes me so very happy. It's rough for married couples who are apart for any reason. Thinking about being a widow wigs me right out. Dad's words about being without our best friends: "It's messed up!"

Are you enjoying my colors? It's the 'bess I can do - the bess I can do'

My recent prayers are that:

Paul has a happy heart and knows how much we appreciate his sacrifice.

Wes continues to have a job.

Nikki gets pregnant and keeps it to have a healthy baby.

Fressia remembers what a great person she is.

Brad gets his wish for a real job.

Jamee knows we love her.

Brit doesn't worry so much and sleeps well.

Jason gets a better - long lasting job.

Trevor finds his way and gets an education, education, education.

Brad has been working super hard on welding this truck for dad. What a beautiful job!! Thanks Brad - you rock!

Wes came for a surprise visit. It was awesome to see him. While he was here these bird eggs that were in our front lawn hatched and we had some fun trying to find the baby birdies in our lawn and chasing them around.

Our lovely Texas home - come and visit!

My beautiful anniversary bouquet from my best friend - 31 years. There are 31 roses in five different colors (five children). Beautiful, yes?
