Nora is 2

Nora,

Oh My! It is hard to believe you are already two. It seems like such a short time ago that I met you as a baby and spent time rocking you in my arms.

I remember our first car trip together to go and see Aunt Ashley just before she left for Afghanistan. You were such a good traveler.

I remember going to the pool and holding you in the water as your sisters splashed around us.

I remember you liked to throw your Cheerios off your tray.

I remember you coming all the way to Minnesota this summer and how much you laughed and talked.

Tonight I remember how much I miss you and look forward to holding and hugging you again soon ..... Happy 2nd Birthday Nora .... I love you more, Nana

Wordless Wednesday Part Two

"Oreo Cookie anyone"?

"Sure, I'd like an Oreo Cookie"!

Wordless Wednesday

What I Wore Wednesday on our 38th wedding anniversary!

Today I am wearing a Kohl's Vera Wang sleeveless top along with

my favorite pair of Levi Jeans also from Kohl's

 finally finishing off my outfit with

my well worn, well loved, flip flops from REI .

I am also sporting a handbag that I had my eyes on 3 weeks ago

while on a day trip to Stillwater with the golfer.

Today when I woke up he asked if I wanted to go pick up the handbag I had my eyes on so ... off we went on another day trip to Stillwater.  He bought me this handbag and another smaller one for dressing up in the evenings

or when I just want to carry a smaller bag. 

As he paid the clerk he turned to me and said,

 "Happy Anniversary Hon!" 

The jewels ... pearl necklace with pearl dangler earrings.

Past Christmas gifts from the golfer.

Nana wanted Pru in the picture too 'cause it was "date night" and although it's hard to see in the picture Pru is sporting her purse (made out of gum wrapper's)

that she carries most days wherever she goes.

Above  ... since Nana is into kisses Bumpa took this

picture just as Pru was getting ready for a kiss!

What I Wore Wednesday

Today I had this great idea to steal someone else's idea for a Wednesday post! Hence the same title that is used at times over here ....



Be sure and check out this young mom, Stacey's blog ... amazing ...


I had a great time tring on a few items from my closet 'cause it has cooled down a bit in Minnesota for a day a two.

Here I am sporting a target tank, from 3 years ago layered with a Gap, 3/4 sleeve. on sale. white. top. (do you ever get those lttle pin size holes in Gap clothes after you have washed them a couple of times? What;s with that? Glad you can't notice it in the pic) Finally I dressed up a bit by putting on a Delias, passed down from my daughter, skirt..

Trying a few new things; took this of me in my kitchen mirror!

Captured how great my grey hair is coming in along with the beautiful gold earrings and necklace from the golfer

The flow of the skirt along with a beauty of a blooming  flower in our small but significant garden at our town home.

And what might you find yourself wearing this Wednesday?

Have an outward  beautiful day!

Blessings, Beth
