Whats it like being a Christmas Baby?

Does everyone forget your Birthday because of the hustle bustle of the holiday? Well I haven't forgotten yours my friend......

Dennis and I just want to wish our good friend Debra a Happy _0 th Birthday. Its a big one but I'll never disclose the number. Lets just say she looks like she's celebrating her 30th. You may recognize her, she's beautiful, talented and everything she does, she does to the 10's. Give her a visit and wish her the best. I hope you're out there celebrating (Betz) and having a wonderful time with your family. Maybe we can get together and do a little celebrating ourselves when you get home, You with your Sangria, me with my Margarita. Oh and have a wonderful Christmas also,
I miss ya!
xoxo Cheryl

Waiting on the storm.....

Just a quick little post to let everyone know I'm still alive.... if anyone cares.

I've been to bogged down to blog. A couple of days ago we had a nice little rain and we woke up to the sound of water running through the creek that runs through my yard. Theres nothing like that sound, so serene, and by tomorrow morning it should be a little rushing river as we're expecting a storm tonight. I finally put up the tree and did a little decorating around my home so I'll share a few pics with you and until I blog again.......Goodnight my friends.

I just wanted to take the time to wish each and everyone one of you a wonderful Thanksgiving. My turkeys in the oven, my table is set. I didn't want the usual bouquet of flowers from Costco so I managed to rummage through the house, gather some random candles, grabbed a pumpkin and used this wonderful Flea Market Find from this week. Its a wonderful Old silver tray and this is what I ended up with. I thought it looked quite cool so I decided to share it with you.

Happy Birthday My Son........

How does this happen........ one minute your rocking your babies in your arms, singing Itsy Bitsy Spider and reading Good Night Moon and the next minute your watching..... them Rock their babies... Daisy and Simba in this case, My son Tracy's precious 2 dogs he rescued and now He's singing his own songs. Today is my middle childs birthday and although we celebrated last night I just wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday and share him with all of you. He is quite an amazing young man (If I don't say so myself) and I love him with all my heart (well... divided by three, he has an older brother and little sis) but this is about him. He turns 24 today but he might as well be 2 because when I see him I want to still cuddle him in my arms, (and I do) look at that face wouldn't you?? Tracy's a very talented Singer/Songwriter, Writes all his own music and is the sole singer in both bands he started. He plays the Keyboard and Guitar and I share him with everyone I know. His style of music is Indie-Rock and has been playing gigs around L.A. for 4 years. He has cut 3 cd's and is working on his fourth. He has two bands and Emmitt Kelly and Sincere Parody, and if I could figure out how to put his music on you'd be listening to it right now. BUT..... if you click on the links you can listen to it on his sites. He loves to surf and has a beautiful girlfriend Dominique who we all love. Besides all that he is a Wonderful Compassionate Person and well liked by everyone who meets him, He loves his family and I am proud to say I'm His mom. So Happy Birthday Sweetie (and I hope you don't get mad at me for sharing) I love you so much and hope you have an Amazing Birthday!!!!
