20 Years of Happy…

Happy Birthday to my first born, Kayleigh Hannah Bledsoe! :-)

So, my Kayleigh turned 20 on Friday.  She has always been…who she is:  strong, determined, loving & articulate (among other things!).

We’ve had fun celebrating since Thursday:

Lisa, Kayleigh, Ashley & Monica...out for breakfast!

My girls & me!

I’m so blessed that God chose to let me be the Mom of little girls, especially my two.  And I’m so blessed that I get to call Kayleigh mine.

I love you, Kaygee.  Happy 20 years!

Love, Mom.

Setting Sun….

So, the sun is setting - literally and figuratively - on our time by the sea. picture-146

I’m such an ocean girl, picture-149 so I’m a little sad about this, but at the same time, I’m ready to get back home to my normal (and I do use that term very loosely :-) ) routine.

I took a few pics - not as many as I would have liked, though - fun things always seemed to happen when I didn’t have my camera handy…

But, here are just a few:

Staking our territory...in the rain!

Peace to you all…

Vive La Provence…(and a jolly cup o’tea!)

So, ever since I was a teenager sitting in high school French class, I have dreamed of going to Southern France.  I have a love of all things Provincial…

I also adore English Tea…I’ve had “High Tea” in London and it was everything I thought it would be. :-)

Yesterday, Byron and I went to Epcot to visit both “England” and “France” to pick up a few things for the upcoming “Girl’s Night Out” I’m hosting for the Women of C3.

I’m so excited to have these ladies to my home, and since it’s at my house…

WE’RE HAVING A TEA PARTY!!

I also picked up some French Provincial decorations.  Hey, all things with me are….eclectic!  I definitely think French decor and “High Tea” can blend together in harmony!

It’s going to be a blast!  If you haven’t joined the “Women of C3″ contact list, please visit the website, and send your name and email info to womenofc3@c3orlando.com.

Paix et amour à vous!

It’s Friday…i think….

….yeah, it is.

I’m in such a fog….just worn out - and it’s gonna be a crazy/busy weekend.  I’ve been getting ready for the yard sale:

Thanks:  Andrea, Karen, Matt & Monica, and Kayleigh & Barry for your help getting ready…

I’m really looking forward to getting up early and being in the middle of the hustle & bustle of the day.  Plus, it’s our Ashley’s SWEET SIXTEEN!  (I’ll write more about that tomorrow - I can’t believe she’s turning 16….wow!).

Then, Sunday @ C3 is a special day.  It’s the one year anniversary of the sale of the old church buildings.  There are many emotions around this anniversary, but mainly I’m just so glad to be where we now are.

It’s going to be a busy weekend…too busy to spend a lot of time thinking about the past - we don’t have time for that…so we’ll just keep moving forward….

I’ll see you on the flip side!

Come see me @ The Avalon Yard Sale and help provide some much needed things for a beautiful family immigrating from Cuba.  It’s gonna be a great day! :-)

(You can bring me stuff to sell or things to donate to the family like:

  • toiletries
  • clothing for boys (5 and 14)
  • toys
  • school supplies
  • canned goods and household supplies).

Hope to see you there!

Peace.
