First, the good – great – news.  Alex from Alex Is Wired has woken up!  His brother said he’s awake!  Whoot!  For those that don’t know, I asked for prayers and light for Alex because he didn’t wake up after his surgery in December.  From what Jay says, his brother, he’s awake!  They still have a ways to go, but I’m so so so happy for the family – and for Alex.  He is definately someone I consider to be a friend.  Blog friend though, never met him in real life.  But he’s a great person via blog.    So, there is the GOOD NEWS!  Whooot!

Surprise?  Well, I have just a few minutes on here – I wanted to post to tell you I’m going to be gone today and tomorrow.  Where you ask?  I don’t know!  Here’s the gist -

Hubby says “I have something planned for you.  On Thursday you need to be in your car by 9 AM then call me and I’ll tell you where to drive.  Pack something for overnight – you’ll be back Friday night.”

WOW!

I don’t know where I’m going!  He could be setting me up to get my life insurance money – OR (hee hee) he’s doing something sweet for me.  I have the bestest hubby in the world.  Okay, okay… you say you do (those with hubby folk) – but for me, he’s the best.

So, I have my camera (Tess!) and I’ll take pics unless he’s driving me off a cliff.  Then, well… maybe I can get a few on the way down eh?

Just kidding.

I’m super ooober excited!

I’ll post when I can to let ya know what I’m doin!

Thank you hubby, I love you so much – thanks for loving me.

Yes, we have alot of last names in the house.  Two are Nichols, two are Ford and two are Sharp.  Hey, I haven’t exactly changed my last name yet.  I will though… don’t you fret!

Now, on to the fun at the house!

First, my three kids thought it would be great to take a photo for me and I was so excited to get it!  They used my camera and a tri-pod and even got Indy to look at the camera by throwing something in the direction of the tri-pod!  LOL  They did great!

My babies.

Missing is my step-son, he wasn’t there that day.  So they are going to take more photos with the blonde child (my only blonde kid – my step-son)!

That night we had a major blast playing Cherades (hm, spelled right?) and that was beyond halarious.

Tonight, Ice Cream social.  I know it’s cold, but who could turn down ice cream?!

OH!  I bought a new phone!  The Google Android G1 thingy!  I was a BlackBerry die hard for 3 years, and just went to the T-Mobile G1.  GREAT so far!

I’m gonna get back on after the ice cream and answe comments ’cause I just love you all so!

Love and Light

Now this is interesting.  I found this site Cafemom, that you can join with other mommas.  Well, I qualify for something – that would be a momma for sure.  So I thought I’d join and see what’s cookin’.

I found that you can do a photo showdown (just-for-fun) and see what others vote as the best between your photo and someone else’s!  I saw so many cute pics, I just had to try.  Take a look!  This one that I’ve linked to is of my step-son Daniel J and my niece Megan.  She follows him everywhere!

While looking through photos, I came across one of Jessie Leigh (my daughter, now 19) and I restored it a bit.  I was so excited to find this!  What do you think?

Well, nuff for now.  Have a great night!

A few things here, I’m still struggling with smoking.  I’ll get there, don’t you fret!

On the 8th, I went to a local park/preserve called Round Valley.  Lately I’ve yerned for nature, and we have so much around us.

• Round Valley Regional Preserve
• Mt. Diablo Park
• Morgan Territory
• Black Diamond Mines

These are only a few, within a half an hour from where we live.  We are really blessed!

Here are some photos I took while walking through Round Valley.  It was so quiet that you could hear when the lizards scurried across the path.  Woodpeckers caught my attention a number of times.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many in one area.

Here’s some pics from Round Valley via my Flickr:

Flickr has been known to slow down this site, so I’m hoping you can see these without the slow!

Love and Light!  I’ll be posting more later!
