Our 1st Garden | June 26, 2011, originally uploaded by Love.Peace.Happiness Family.

They wanted a garden. Gardening Merit badge. They wanted vegetables.They wanted tomatoes, green peppers, lettuce, onions, broccooi, cabbage and of course, we have to have Marigolds planted around the outside. It was a great Sunday project, family time, an afternoon of picking out vegetables, smelling the dirt, getting close to Mother Earth, Mother and Son time and now, waiting for the vegetables to grow so that we can enjoy the harvest. It was a good day.

Summer Lemonade Stand | 6.21.2011

Summer Lemonade Stand | 6.21.2011, originally uploaded by Love.Peace.Happiness Family.

It was 4:58 p.m. My first day back to work after having seven days off. It was a good day! I always have good day; some days are better than others. But, they are always good! Today, was an extra, better than normal good day! This is why; I was in a hurry to go home to my family but, this Lemonade Stand caught my eye as I was driving by! I turned around carefully on a bumpy, brick, one the only brick roads around and bought a cup of Lemonade for $ 1.50. {There were three kids that were selling Blueberry or Pink Lemonade} I bought the pink; I am a girl you know. Thank you to a mom that was helping! I even called a friend to stop by and buy herself a cup of "pink" lemonade! And, besides, lemonade stands are a lost art of childhood! This will be in my One Thousand Gift Journal!

Love.Peace.Happiness | Vacation Days 2 & 3

Love: Summer Camp

Peace: Swimming and Reading

Happiness: Hearing Luke’s voice & visiting Ohio’s museums. It was cool that Luke saw his favorite bicycle, Pinarello in South Dakota and we did too in Amish Country.

{Notice the handwriting and the old diaries from each year. I wish they make these now! Wouldn’t that be neat!}

A inexpensive, cheap, on sale purchase of a Franklin-Covey Calendar

I've done it again ... changing the way I am keeping a calendar! The idea of keeping a calendar on my phone just wasnt cutting it! There was no way that I liked keeping a list and I LOVE writing things down in my favorite ink! This is an all inclusive style! As a friend responded to my text/picture; "LOL, you are too funny! I hope this style will work out for you!" I have always loved this style; full calendar in front, a place to write a "to do" list on the right. I even bought photo sleeves to keep wallet size pictures in it to remind me of my family!!!

What a fun day the cousins (our boys and my cousins' boys) had on Memorial Day! They went swimming, four-wheeling, and ate good food! It brought back many fond memories of good times at my Aunt and Uncle's home with my cousins. To be young again!! It was a very hot and humid day!!

Can I just say how much I love living in a small town. I love the people. I love the traditions. I love being involve in the Boy Scouts and Webelos. I love placing flags on the Veteran's graves, reading their names to our children and remembering that "they" fought for our country. Remembering also for the present men and women who are fighting for our freedom. Thank you! This is one my favorite holidays and I am grateful that I share it every year with my boys. I also love taking a picture of the American Flag waving in the wind; what a great reminder! This is one my One Thousand Gift!
