Monday Morning Musings!

Whew! If weekends had a fast forward button, ours got stuck! It was a good one full of smiles and built on sweet memories. 

First up: Prom Night! 

Our beautiful Mylee twirled into the spotlight, looking absolutely stunning. (Yes, sharing a few photos because it is practically the law when your granddaughter looks so gorgeous!) It is funny how you blink, and somehow, the little one who used to play dress-up is suddenly grown up, wearing a beautiful prom gown.

Next came Graduation Party mode. Family, lots of food, sweet decorated cookies, and of course, friends......were all involved. My sister-in-law had a huge charcuterie of foods laid out on her bar!!  How great it was to celebrate Lanna and Brilee.

Meanwhile, back at the homestead, my "Peggy Martin" roses have been putting on a big show. They are bursting with blooms and climbing high. I planted these just last year and wow, they have really grown. 

                                                          Roses are in the background.....

Somewhere between all of this, we snuck in a lovely dinner with our grown-up kids at Mario's. This is an Italian restaurant that we frequently visit.  So good! Real Italian food!

I never take a nap during the day, but I will admit that there were a few strategically placed naps along the way. You know it has been a great weekend when the sofa calls your name.  Seems like my name was being called a lot. 

All in All, it was a weekend to tuck into the memory book! Roses, ribbons, ravioli, fancy dresses, family and friends......just a reminder for me that these are the moments that truly bloom. 

Another reminder that life does not slow down, but it does get sweeter. I am just so thankful for it all...

BTW:  I also snuck in a pedicure!! How? I do not know, but one thing for sure.....my toes look and feel better.
