SUCCESS!!!

"You can use most any measure

When you're speaking of success.

You can measure it in fancy home,

Expensive car or dress.

But the measure of your real success

Is the one you cannot spend.

It's the way your kids describe you

When they're talking to a friend"

I LOVED THE MOON LAST NIGHT!!!!

It Will Show

(Proverbs 27:19)

You don't have to tell how you live each day, You don't have to say if you work or play,A tried, true barometer serves in the place, However you live, it will show in your face.

The false, the deceit, that you bear in your heart, Will not stay inside where it got a start,For sinews and blood are a thin veil of lace, What you wear in your heart, you wear on your face.

If you've battled and won in the great game of life, If you've striven and conquered through sorrow and strife,If you've played the game fair and reached only first base, No need to proclaim it -- it always shows in your face.

If your life is unselfish, if for others you live, For not what you get, but how much you give,If you live close to God in His infinite grace, You don't have to tell it, it shows on your face.

All Our Kids Were Home For A Week!!!!

As you can see, I put a whole bunch of pictures on here of our week with our kids. It was so much fun to have them all home...Anna & Zane flew in from Florida, and Derek & Natalie came back down with Tom after he drove his folks up to Seattle from their 2 month stay with us here in Arizona. All four kids flew out from Las Vegas on Saturday leaving us with a quiet, lonely household. Daniel & Malia getting their own bedrooms back to themselves after 2 1/2 months. Too bad they had to be in school during the days the others were here. It wasn't too bad though because they get home by 2pm. But it was all worth it getting to have the wonderful company that we had...family is so special, but we love having others too! So don't be afraid to come and visit sometime.

These pictures give you a little example of what we did this past week with the kids....as you can see, we went boating on Lake Havasu, quadding out in the desert, playing at the park in Havasu, playing lots of games...we even got to enjoy going to the Musical of "The Sound of Music" here in our fair city. We also had lovely weather, as well!!! We now have lots of special memories of our times together.

30-Mile Walking Relay

The Havasu Health Foundation put on a walking-relay last Saturday (February 28th, 2009). Their motive and motto was to "GET OFF THE COUCH AND WALK". The 30 miles started at one end of town and traveled all through town and back to the starting point. Our 4-women team each walked between 7 & 8 miles. I had 8.1 miles on my leg. We did it to have fun and to appreciate the beauties of walking. Thankfully, most of us can do it, it's free and enjoyable! We walked very fast, covering the 30 miles in 6 hours, 32 minutes, giving us 13.06 minutes per mile. It's a yearly event and one I'd definitely consider doing next year!
