HaPpY BiRtHdAy!

Today is the birthday of a very very important young lady! I don't know if you are all aware, but this beautiful woman is 99 YEARS OLD TODAY! Can you believe it?

(Grandma Judy, Mom, Great Grandma Nora, Me)
How did she celebrate you may ask? By having a little open house so she could visit with her 100's, yes 100's, of decedents! I wasn't able to visit with Grandma Nora, so i'll have to visit her in a few weeks when i'm home from school. But I heard that she practiced her Jitter Bug and informed everyone at her party that if you didn't know how to do that dance back when her and my Grandpa Ernest were courting, then you couldn't go out dancing, which meant you had no chance at getting a cute boy/girl!

It's a shame that the dating world isn't the way my grandma remembers it.

Happy Birthday Grandma Nora, and here's to another spectacular year to come ... and keep dancing! :)

This is precious, I love this post. And yes, the good ol' courting days should make their way back into the singles scene!!

about me ...

I am the girlie-girl in a family of boys, and I love every minute of it! I am a Ute and a Cougar, and yes it is possible to have enough room in your heart for both {although every parent has a favorite child, and you can probably guess mine}. I love high heels and glittery jewelry, as well as curling up in comfy pajamas with a good book. My red hair is more than my defining feature, but a state of mind and a way of life. If you don’t understand, then stop blog-stalking and hang out with me! ;)

Quotes To Live By

So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
Just listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn:
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky
~Corner of the Sky, Pippin

Success is when opportunity meets preparation.

Control your own destiny or someone else will.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
~E.E. Cummings

If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are right.
~Henry Ford

Our society is afflicted by a spirit of thoughtless arrogance unbecoming those who have been so magnificently blessed. How grateful we should be for the bounties we enjoy. Absence of gratitude is the mark of the narrow, uneducated mind. It bespeaks a lack of knowledge and the ignorance of self-sufficiency.
~Gordon B. Hinckley

In Order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
~Coco Chanel

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
~Sir Winston Churchill

The people who get on in this world are people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.
~George Bernard Shaw

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
~Shakespear

If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
~Margaret Thatcher

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
~Mother Teresa
