70 calories of coconutty deliciousness!

This, my friend, is a little piece of heaven that I discovered today.

Normally I'm all about dark chocolate. And I'll be honest, I didn't look that closely at the bag to see that it wasn't dark chocolate. I guess I assumed that because it was coconut and chocolate, that the chocolate would be dark. But anyway...This tasty little (approx.70 cal.) huevo has creamy coconut on the inside...yeah, I said creamy so there's no texture of toenail clippings that you get with your average Mounds bar, and it's wrapped in smooth Dove chocolate. I think I'll email the Mars Candy Co. and ask if this is just around for the Easter holiday. 'Cuz if it is, I'm stockin' up!

I Am One LUCKY girl!

How cute is this? My Uber-talented-Master-of-everything-More-creativity-in-her-pinky-than-in-my-entire-body friend, Becki made this for me. She makes the ordinary seem magical in everything she does!

I love that girl!

Get thee behind me comfy bed of mine!

This is a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest. The rain coming down is a soft, delicious rain. And the wind blowing the trees outside my window is making a kind of 'white noise' that would lull me back to sleep, if I hadn't made the conscious choice to make my bed this morning so as not to be tempted beguiled into climbing back under the fluffy down comforter. The warm, soft, Egyptian Cotton bedding is calling to me with her siren song. I. Must. Be. Strong. I think I'll go downstairs and clean...or have a Girl Scout cookie and watch some HGTV!

I'm SO lucky indeed!

It was great fun seeing all the kids and grandkids in Gilbert. We saw Emmett get blessed on Sunday.

We saw the new Gilbert Arizona Temple being built.

We visited an airplane museum with cool planes.

We watched Logan play soccer.

...our grandchildren took us to Bounce U. It was hysterical!

And I got lots of baby kisses in, thanks to our newest darling grandbaby Emmett...I could just eat him with a spoon!

Grandma Who?

Oh sure! The party's over. This past week I've been here playing with our Arizona grandkids by myself. It's been fun. Now grandpa comes to town and I'm like the unknown warm-up band who opens for The Rolling Stones! Ha! Oh well. It was fun while it lasted!

She and her husband haven't seen each other for a week. That is seven days too many for both of them to be apart from each other. The last time she saw his face was at SeaTac Airport as she was going through security. He waited for her to get through and she kept turning around to see if he was still there and he was. For those few moments it was comforting to know he was still there. Separated by several yards distance and security personnel and big Xray machines and conveyor belts with passengers belongings, she could still see him. She wanted to cry. She wanted him to be on the plane with her. He blew her a kiss and she turned the corner and headed to her departing gate. Tonight they will be together again. It was his turn to go through security with its Xray machines and conveyor belts with passengers belongings in tidy rectangle tubs, only there was no one there to blow him a kiss as he turned the corner headed to his departing gate. She will place it on his lips as he walks through the door tonight. Oh the anticipation....
