I Got To See My Mom! And Other Happy Things










Yep! I got to visit with my mom! Her assisted living facility is kind enough to arrange socially distancing visits outside. It was a wonderful visit with her, and although we couldn't hug, we all felt the love just the same. She looked beautiful as always and was so happy to visit with us. She is the most positive, amazing person I know. And she is my mom. 

We were also able to pop in for a visit with my sister Margie too! We sat outside and visited with her and her husband and cute pup Cocoa.  This week we enjoyed an awesome campfire visit with our friends complete with hot dogs, pizza, and blueberry marshmallow mountain pies and smores. And finally, the wedding preparations have begun! Peyton found her perfectly perfect gown at Madison Marie Bridal, of course! As Madison helped Peyton with each dress, I couldn't help but remember these same two lovely young women as little girls playing dress-up together, and my heart filled with joy. 

Finally, I am leaving you with a skin cancer update selfie. Three weeks out and it is healing nicely. Although if it doesn't and I have a scar, I don't care one single bit. It is a reminder of how blessed I am to have found it and had it treated so quickly and easily.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends.
It is the last one before September arrives!

  4. Such a fun filled week!!!!!

    Lovely to have an outside visit with your Mom. And the other visits warmed your heart too.

    Annnnnnnnd....... Wedding prep!!!!!!!!! Yes, such lovely memories, this must prompt. ~smile~

    You have the best attitude about your possible scar. If it stays a bit, it will remind you of how wonderful it is, that you caught it early.

    Mmmmm, when is the wedding planned for? The spring I think... It would be so nice, if restrictions were able to be eased, by then. But even if not, it will be a lovely wedding, I am sure.

  5. Shopping for the wedding dress and visiting your mom, those are joy sparks, aren't they! You have the right attitude about a potential scar, if it occurs you can wear it with a smile while counting your blessings.

  13. It's wonderful that you got to visit with your Mom, Billie Jo. I'm sure she loved seeing you so much. It's good that Peyton found the perfect wedding gown. That's one of the main things to take care of in a wedding. I remember the girls trying on several before choosing that special one. Such a sweet picture of you and the girls. This will be a fun time for all of you. Your words at the end of your post show what a thankful person you are. And I read one time that grateful people are the happiest people. Always love your positive attitude when visiting here, Billie Jo.
