Just returned from a fun trip to Arizona for my mother-in-laws 70th birthday, it was a big suprise for her with close to 30 of her closest friends and loved ones.  She loves Standadrd Poodles so the theme of the party was everything pink and poodle-y.  Mamma mia. : )

Each of her sons spoke some kind words for a toast, and there was much visiting and laughter; everyone had such a good time.  So thankful for her good health and happy marriage of more than 45 years!

The next morning we all had breakfast together, coffee and more good talk-  we capped-off the trip with a quick visit to a local swap meet where I was hopeful to find something special; a unique nick-nack or decorative item of some kind...  Turns out it was more of a people watching event, and not much in the way of anything I wanted to buy, but the weather was beautiful and it was enjoyable nevertheless.

Thankful to be home again, and looking forward to more with the new blog!

Bye for now,

Donna
