    Celia's on-the-beach!! Bringing perspective to us all.

    Blessings.

    We just got back from seeing the movie, "Australia" with Nicole & Hugh and a host of many. It was such a triumph -- such an amazing story. What a fantastic vision -- to bring this story to so many. I adore a good movie and this will be a HUGE classic in my mind: forever!!

    Highly recommend. Don't bother taking tissues..... just sit quietly and allow yourself to swim in tears periodically.

    Edited to entice you further, with the promo poster:

    What some beautiful post guys.  It has been such a wonderful day.  Hope all has had a great one.  I would never forget our men and women fighting for us.  Thank you for that picture and reminding everyone.

    Our minds will start toward Christmas now, some of my friends already put up their tree.

Our Denver kids are about to arrive for the day of shannanigans...... those two have never met the three that are here locally. How excited am I?

    Walking along the beach this morning, I found where someone had written happy birthday.  I am now looking for some sea glass and sea shells.

    Look at all these shells, I had friends helping me and now am ready to kick back in a chair and relax on the beach.  Have a wonderful fun filled day.

    What a wonderful, wild and crazy day of fun we've had.

    Five children under the age of five!!!

    the best news is that our daughter-in-law announced that she's pregnant with their third & is due in mid-June........ we had a screaming hug-fest with that exciting news. she's thru her first trimester, so that's good news. (she'd had a miscarriage between their two boys.-- which was truly heart breaking.)

    Scott made arrangements and took the 3 'big kids' out to his Air Force base and they were able to have tours of his cargo plane and the base fire truck. I kept the babies here for nap time.

    Well we've eaten toooooo much, but did manage to clean up the kitchen before realizing we were too tired to move!

    Tomorrow & Sunday afternoons I've reserved the recording studio -- to make progress on our latest project. It will be great to make some more progress. We're ready for background vocals and harmonies, so that's the fun part!!

    A little bit more birthday cake for our party-girl:

    Spar the Party is with you Where ever Your Heart Takes It! I am so Glad we could make it a Great Day for You! Even though we had only Some Part in it All & Not All! Wink

    A new grandbaby sounds so heart warming.  I got my arms open wide too Faith and it is going to be a great day.  How do you keep up with all your projects.  It seems like I can't even find time to do my crafts anymore.  The plumbing got finished under the house yesteday so it is a jumping for joy kind of day.

    Mary_Lou, I love your Christmas avatar.  I need to find me one too.  I have a feeling it will be a wonderful season this year.

    Hope all has had a good day on the beach.
