So many beautiful pictures I had forgotten.......

Hello everyone......I was having trouble uploading pictures from my computer last night and was so worried; couldn't figure out what was wrong. I even left a comment on Blogger forum. But, everything seems to be fine now, so I can post pictures from my computer again!! But, what's interesting is that the only way I could upload pictures last night was through my Picasa web albums or from my blog (which I had not done before), so when I clicked on "upload from my blog"......it brought up hundreds and hundreds of wonderful pictures that I had posted before on my blog. I've been on Blogger for four years I think so I've posted a lot of photos, so I was so excited to see some of the pictures I had posted in the last four years.....that I had forgotten all about. I don't usually go back and look at my posts that often, especially ones from years ago, so it was really wonderful to see these besautiful pictures again. I will post the links for these pictures as soon as I can (if I can find them). These pictures are pretty old so will have to do a lot of searching. (Oh by the way, the picture of the woman with the white hat is me!! That's a little piece of my fairy furniture on top of my hat. The hat is very old.....I love it; it's one of my favorite antique hats).

Wonderful new books!!

i love books and going to book stores, libraries and amazon. these are really wonderful books that I wanted to share with you. would love to hear of books you like, too!

it's still an absolutely beautiful day here. it's just so strange that we haven't had any snow here. utah usually has tons of snow by now. i'm definitely not complaining.....i would much rather have warmer weather. i was born in california so i probably am more inclined to a place where there's lots of sunshine. i remember when i was really little, we lived by the beach, across the street actually.....from the ocean. i miss that so much. i have such happy memories of living by the sea. at night, i could hear the waves quietly landing on the shore, just outside our house. i miss being near the ocean.

hi everyone......it's such a beautiful day here. we've had such odd, warm weather. they say that it's the dryest month ever in utah. we just got back from washington (state). it was so beautiful and GREEN!!!! i miss it already. we love utah but terribly miss washington and oregon. we went to see my mom who lives on the coast in an old house (100 years old). it's very rustic, like an old lodge. she has always collected antiques ever since i can remember and her house is filled with so many beautiful things. we had a wonderful time.

i posted these pictures because i love children and i thought the new year should have pictures of children to start this new time off with a smile, a grin, a giggle and a silly laugh. hope you have a fun year and a fun day!

would love to hear from you!
