50 Years!

How can this not make you smile? The sweetest word that I have ever heard? NANA! Or maybe, Naaannna! Adler likes to emphasis just a little, lol. It never seems to get old. Sorry Sadie.

Well, we are getting very close to April 19th. We have a few final plans to make and then here we come Florida! I better start working on the tan that I DON'T have! I'm guessing that the "Okies" will stand out on the Florida beaches. Sadie and Stephen are going to make such a "Comfy Couple". They are two of the most layed-back people I Love! They so enjoy eachother.

Shelby and Jared bought a larger home east of Alva. I am so excited for them, the house has so much more room for them. Except for the remodeling and moving part, I think my job is the hardest. I watch Adler! I know, someone has to do it, right? It has a big backyard for Adler to play in. He loves to go outside. This Nana will be spending more time outside this Spring and Summer. If nothing else, Grandchildren diffently keep you younger. Adler got his 18 months old pictures taken and can I just say once again they are too cute. Of course you can check them out yourself down at the bottom.

Terry and I celebrated our 50th Birthdays. Wow, that's still sounds old! My body keeps telling me that I am 50 but I can't wrap my mind around the fact that I AM as old as my parents once were! WOW! Terry surprised me with flowers for my birthday. Your thinking ok, well for years now I've been telling him not to waste money of flowers. Well, I couldn't have thought of a better present-I was so surprised and giggled like a school girl still dating!

Terry and I have spent over 30 of our 50 years together. There's not a day that goes by that I forget how precious our time is together.

What a wonderful thing it is to spend the better part of your life with your bestfriend and soulmate. Terry is my rock and my sense of humor. A very dear friend recently reminded me that it has been fun being married to Terry. It is such a warm feeling to know how blessed we are.

Deo Volente,

A BIBLE THAT IS FALLING APART USUALLY BELONGS TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT.

The better you know God, the more you will trust Him.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Although you cannot change the past, God can help you change what your doing with it. The changes He makes in you can certainly change the future.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Where we love is home - where our feet may leave but not our hearts.
Oliver W. Holmes

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Ralph W. Emerson

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul and sings the tune without words and never stops at all.
Emily Dickenson

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Author Unknown

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
Og Mandino

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

In the rush of daily living it is easy to forget all the remarkable people, real or ficitonal, who have been part of your life. But if you just imagine they are near for a moment, you will realize that anyone who ever touched your heart is always with you, patiently waiting to emanate warmth and support whenever you remember to think of them.
Barbara Sher

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Marcel Proust

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Where there is faith, there is love;
Where there is love, there is peace;
Where there is peace, there is God;
And where there is God; there is no need.
Leo Tolstoy

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Denis Waitley

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Every now and again take a good look at something not made by hands-a moutain, a star, the turn of a stream. There will come to you wisdom and patience and solace and, above all, the assurance that you are not alone in the world.
Sidney Lovett

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
Mother Teresa
