Favorite Quotes
I have been keeping busy with summer stuff and work. I thought I would pass on a few of my favorite quotes today that I have collected over time to share with my children. The picture above is one my oldest son took last summer.

the future in" - Graham Greene

Graduation Day
Two down one to go! T graduated this past weekend. I am so proud of him. What a tough year we have had and through all of it he has kept his act together and not given me a bit of trouble plus he brought his GPA up! Did I say I was proud! We have had many blessings in our life and we can add another to that list. He is going to be continuing his education on a full tuition baseball scholarship.
So I am a happy mama for the moment.
We have a big weekend coming up of baseball, and a family wedding. Because of graduation parties this will be the third weekend I will be spending with my extended family. We are all having a great time with that!
“I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.” - Harry S. Truman
