Dancing amidst the birds and the trees

….in our Love Nest

A piano for every home….

The cabin….

Nuestra Casa….

Music has been a part of our lives since we were young children—me with my ballet, and my Danny with his piano, choir, and band.  

Music is the language of romance.  It has always been part of our life together, starting from when we met at a dance over fifteen years ago.  That night we fell in love as we held each other and danced to beautiful music.

So when we moved into the Love Nest this summer, I just HAD to get my love another piano for our new home! 

Dan playing Softly and Tenderly….the same hymn that he played for my baptism earlier this month.  Thank you, my Danny.

Now we’re happy here ….music is flowing into our Love Nest and into our souls.

Our midwest family playing together this summer….

These adorable grandchildren are so much fun and full of life.  We wish we were there to play with them!!!

Our philosophy…..share the fruits of our labor with our family

 Live frugally, don’t try to amass a fortune, enjoy our life, and share the abundance God has given us.

My 76th birthday….and my baptizm in Fossil Creek

Today, on my 76th birthday, Danny and I celebrated my 76th birthday and my rebirth with all our family who we love so very much.  Our son, Owen, baptized me in Fossil Creek. 

This was a joyous day.  I was surrounded by the love of my husband, our children and grandchildren, our family and friends, and by the love of God.

My early morning message from the love of my life….

We had a lovely talk with our daughter, Rachelle, as she wished me a very Happy Birthday.

My baptism….

Luc called to wish me a very happy, blessed birthday!

…..And Father’s Day celebration for Owen, as he won’t be with us on Father’s Day.

A gift from Papa to his children….

From my love….

Today will always be etched in my memory as a day filled with fun, family, love, and God.

Last night when we returned home from my birthday party and my holy baptism, I found this little Star Cross on the windowsill.  The Star Cross is a reminder of  how Christianity grew out of Jewish roots. Why hadn’t I seen this cross sometime during the last two weeks when we moved to the Love Nest?  Where did it come from?  

This was a truly blessed day.
