We took a trip to Springfield, IL this past summer with my parents. If possible, you have GOT to go. If you do, be sure to go to New Salem, too.
I've been working on my spending time goal. Today Mom and I are having a day together, just the two of us.
We got puppies! I have never really had a dog. Who knew they could be such fun??
And, of course, I have been spending a lion's share of my time at school.
And then there's my birthday. But, that really deserves a post all it's own.
What about you? What fun things have been falling through the cracks lately? Why not sweep them up and show them off? Let us see what's been happening in your life. Please?

Sweet! Your puppies are so cute. I got a new "puppy", too, last Friday, and she is so precious. I worked all week for a change and looks like I will next week, too. Yay! And now the weather is cool enough to have dinner on the patio and "sit by the fire" outside in the evening.
Have I told you how much I love your photos? Especially that soft focus thing you do. I wish I knew how to do that. Have a super weekend! xxoo
What a wonderful blogs Just reading your words are great.

I posted about field trips today on one blog, incarceration of Japanese people in internment camps in WW Two, and yoga classes on my various blogs today. But with the new writing job and an online class with short story writing assignments, a lot of things are falling through the cracks. I've thought about using a digital recorder. . . but I'd probably forget where I put it.
Smile! Happy Birthday, Relyn! Your life is waiting ahead!
I LOVE the idea of sweeping it all up! :) So many times I do that very thing...think 'WOW! I have to blog about this!' and then get distracted by real life.
Your new puppies are adorable! :)
I'm so sorry I missed your birthday Relyn. Happy Be-lated Birthday my friend. (=
Relyn, it was so kind of you to visit and wish me a Happy Thanksgiving, thank you.
Your post describes me for sure; so much to share, and photos, but I never seem to find the time. I'm hoping when winter is here I can achieve more.
If you ever find out where the socks go....let me know!
Hugs,

New carpet and flooring! That's what has been happening to me and I am so excited about it! The flooring here was so bad and it is so new and new smelling! It is wonderful. Can't wait for you to see my "new" home. Love ya!
those MOO cards are fun, aren't they ... and I like their offer for free samples
may your year ahead be filled with grace and love ...
Oh no....I missed your birthday???
Well, I will take the time to
celebrate you right now!
I'm grateful for the JOY that
you are
...for the unique way you see and share your shiny journey
and the bright flashes of aliveness
that I'd miss if not for you.
You are a treasure
and I'm thankful to
share the road with you:)
Loads of birthday love,
Jennifer
Now this I will have to think about. In the meantime I have traveled to New Salem sometime in the past and loooooved it. A wonderful place to visit.
Tell me more about Moo Cards.
you are full of wonderful surprises ..happy moments and now old enough to know better..not!! your photo s are showing happy times my friend
Lovely blog post. Love your puppies, what have you named them? Dogs are wonderful. Sloane will be on happier kid with these puppies.
yay puppies!! i want to know the names.
and i can't wait to hear about the party.
What a lovely reminder to slow and and enjoy every little (and big) thing.
We got a new puppy this year, too, a Bull Terrier, we love her to pieces, especially now that she doesn't eat shoes and toys as much.
PS: Happy happy birthday!
PUPPIES!! Oh, how sweet are they! What are their names? Will there be fun puppy tales here now too?! ;o) I hope so. Hope you had a WONDERFUL 40th celebration, my friend--you should be celebrating all year. Love the photos here. Tomorrow I'm writing about a different kind of project I've started behind the scenes. And I'm getting back to to my once a week tea & writing ritual. It feels so great! Happy Weekend ((HUGS))
I love each and every one of these pictures, Relyn! Your mom looks simply lovely.... Maybe I'll see ya at the "salt mine" next week.

Love the pink ruffles!! I haven't been to New Salem since I was a little girl. I've been wanting to visit the new Lincoln library, too.
I just love that you captured these lost pieces, what a treat for us!
The events and the images are so wonderful. Posting them all together weaves together a beautiful story - the story of your days.
Belated and heartfelt happy 40th birthday! It's a truly wonderful time of life!
(moo is the BEST!)
Wishing you a wonderful birthday and blessings for many more! And thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures and inspirational thoughts in your blog with your readers.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek! Not puppy but puppIES! The fun!
Happy birthday, my dear! Wishing you the happiest year yet.
So much happening and so many beautiful shots. And yes, I do know what you mean, I tend to stop blogging altogether because I can't figure out to write the post to a certain picture.
I love catching up with you in so many ways. I've been blog-absent (if it wasn't for preposting, I couldn't post at all)! Nice to be back!
Isn't moo the most awesomest company ever?
I love moo.
Oh, and those puppies!! What sweetness!
