For my sisterToday for Amy it’s all about trees. 1 Chronicles 16:33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. Blessings,
G Carrie & AnnaIt’s been an interesting year for me.. It’s had a lot of ups and downs. My sister sent me a text the other day and said I needed to start my blog again. I know she said it for more than just the fun of reading what I put in here. She sent it because she knows the joy I get from being able to share. So here goes. One day in April I was so blessed to go on a picnic with my friend Angie and her two girls Carrie and Anna to Amicalola Falls. Angie and I met when she was pregnant with Carrie over 18 years ago. We were instant friends. I like to think she’s my sister from another mister.
Angie and I. We’ve been through a lot together. Her babies being born. Me getting married and widowed. I’ve watched her girls grow into the beautiful young women they are today. Both are uniquely different and yet both possess their mother’s kind and loving spirit. It’s been a joy being a part of their lives and watching them grow up. One of the hardest things about living in New Mexico is being so far from my friend. But I know that when we are finally able to get together it’s like no time has passed and it’s always a great time The photos are of two of my favorite girls from that beautiful spring day in April at Amicalola Falls. The picnic was great, but the best was the time spent with these lovely ladies. When I think of Angie I give thanks.. God has been good to me. Proverbs 27:9 ESV /Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.

It’s not quite spring but the gardens are coming back to life after a long cold winter Albuquerque Botanic Gardens

Taken Dec 2015 @ the Hotel Andaluz in downtown Albuquerque Blessings, G How do you spend a Saturday? Grab your friend Anne Marie, jump in your Subaru, head north to Santa Fe and make your way down a muddy, mushy dirt road to the Randall Davey Audubon Center and take a hike.. Inside the “Secret Garden”
After our hike we had a bite to eat and went shopping. I can’t think of a better way to spend a beautiful Saturday. We are planning on a spring trip when everything is in bloom. You’d be surprised what’s in your own backyard. Don’t be afraid to get out there and explore.

Just as long as the water bowl and food bowl are full, the treats keep coming and the poop box is clean. He’s always thrilled to pose for me!! Always? Don’t believe him. He is not this innocent. He mostly just humors me. He even LOVES Krispy Kreme. But who doesn’t? The old man turned 15 this month. I got him when he was just a baby. He’s a typical jerk cat. He wants what he wants when he wants it. Not a second sooner and not a second later. He likes me best when the husband isn’t around and actually acts guilty when Randy sees him curled up in my lap.
So he and I have seen a lot and been through even more. I’m sure you’ll see more of him. Look for a new photo of Oscar every Saturday on my instagram @gigiming for #caturday #catsofinstagram Blessings, G The other night found me dining on Jimboy’s Tacos in the park.
Thankfully the locals were gracious hosts.. Randy and I have a membership to the Albuquerque BioPark and try to go to either the zoo or the botanic gardens as often as we can. I’m pretty sure he was using sign language. And not flipping us off For more information on the Rio Grande Zoo click on the link below
My goal is to not have any New Year’s resolutions. I want to make the changes before the end of 2015 so I can start 2016 in a happy and healthy place. In the summer small sunflowers (or dwarf sunflowers) grow wild here. In some places they line the road.. It’s not unusual for me to run home and grab my camera just to get a few photos of them. If you were to go through my digital folder of photos I feel pretty confident that you will find that I take a photo of at least one flower every single month. Matthew 6:28-29
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. Two weeks in California
I am so thankful to have spent the past two weeks in California spending time with the husbands family and attending his nephews wedding. Photos below were taken outside my sister in laws house in Shingle Springs Partytime @ Tiffany'sEvery year my friend Tiffany Avery graciously opens her home to host what has to be the most clever holiday party ever. She gathers together not only friends but also friends who sell different merchandise. It’s the best of all worlds. A great opportunity to spend time with friends all the while shopping and noshing. Food, friends and shopping. Does it really get better than that? See below for the list of Vendors and links to their websites Tiffany – THE pampered chef!! Treat yourself to some new bling!!
