We chose to use the wo

Happy 4th to all who celebrate. It’s a day of mixed emotions for me. I appreciate the opportunities we have while recognizing the costs that have been paid.
It’s also with trepidation as we enter the next election cycle. How disheartening the decisions of the Supreme Court have been in regards to abortion and affirmative action.

And yet Z E R O has been done to curb gun violence against our most vulnerable.

Lots to ponder as I am a week into my 51st trip around the Sun. So very grateful for my family, dear friends, and the work of .

Saw something new to us…
red strawberry blossoms!

We have never planted a strawberry plant that gave red blossoms before…can’t wait to see the shape or find out the taste of the fruit from this plant.

Just home from a Robles family reunion. So glad we found to capture our family in honor of my parents’ 50th anniversary.

Happy 4th wherever you are celebrating. We are here near Akron OH thinking of all the families whose lives have changed since June 27th.

It’s hard to say “Happy” on this day when we honor the bravery and honor of the people who died in service to our country.
And “Thank You” is by far an understatement to the families who are left behind to grieve.
As our children get older and I hear one of them expressing an interest in military service, I how I can be as gracious and supportive as all the other mothers who have given their children their blessing to follow this selfless path.

Wishing all the moms and like-moms out there a wonderful day. May you be celebrated and cherished in all the ways that are dear to you.

Holding a special place in my heart for all the mamas who are walking this day without the child(ren) that have already moved on to the next journey. I see you and send you love.

I turned toward the adjacent carousel and saw a three or four-year-old girl decked out in a colorful traveling ensemble – brightly patterned leggings, a trendy t-shirt and pink plastic movie star...
