There are only two weeks left in the school year so it's a very busy time. I've missed blogging and visiting my blogging friends.
But there have been many blessings to share.
My niece Kristin and her husband had a baby girl named Kenzie. She is my great niece and she's adorable.
My Aunt Ruth celebrated her 75th birthday on Saturday. My Uncle Bob bought me a plane ticket to come and visit her in June. That was her birthday gift and she told me how excited she was when she opened her card. It's so nice to feel loved. I am looking forward to three days in California with my aunt. And she's not far from Santa Monica, which is one of my favorite places. :)
I hope to be back blogging as I already finished many end of year photo books. I love taking photographs and it comes in handy when creating gifts. But I couldn't believe how many photos I've taken this year and I wanted to choose the best.
I continue to count my every day blessings as I link up with Ann of A Holy Experience for Multitudes on Mondays.

ReplyDeleteDear Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThat really brought tears to my eyes; your uncle giving You in birthday present for your aunt. That sure will become a blessed meeting blossoming from so much love.
I can't wait to see the pictures from your trip to California.
Knowing you like I do by now, I also am sure you will pass that love further to your grand niece.She's lucky to be related to you.
With so much love going around, I'm sure your moving must be wrapped in God's eternal love too.
May he bless your coming and going from now and ever on.
