Below we're with my family at the grave of my dad, who passed away last August. I found this picture of a page from a book on my phone. I took it a long time ago. The story is sweet and really something to think about. Here is the Robert Browning quote that is written at the bottom of the page:. Labels: around the house. SpriNgtime in sAn dieGO. This ...

Independence Day, 2015! The Fourth of July always starts with the delightful breakfast at Scott's cousin Craig and Dorothy's house. It's one of our family's favorite traditions. Craig cooks the pancakes, eggs and bacon. With a smile.all morning. We love it when Scott's Aunt Carma arrives - with her sister and Scott's cousin Marilyn and Al. Sierra and Bailee - our girls with twin birthdays on Jan. 19. We always have to take pictures of the kids in the playhouse. It's a favorite. View my complete profile.

BuRnt CooKiEs: June 2015
http://debbieraymond.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
The first home we visited wasn't the biggest or even my favorite. But the sunlight shining through these glass vases was very pretty and made me excited for what we'd see in the. Mixes of patterns, stripes, and whimsical prints. Several houses had little hiding places and hidden rooms. Made for kids and Scott. This sink totally reminded me of the kitchen my mom grew up in. TV over stove. Not. Pretty marble and quartzite. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Where we quilted and. Which my...

Today I'm feeling so much love and gratitude for my family. My heart has been full the past few days.my niece had a darling baby girl - their first - named Allie! I love everything about this picture. It just makes me smile every time I look at it. I'm probably going to put it on the wedding wall just for the smile factor. These two are an absolute delight! Here's little cousin Gordon in his stroller. He's a cutie anyway, but being on the ice in the stroller just lit up his little face. Scott's sister, M...

BuRnt CooKiEs: February 2015
http://debbieraymond.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
February - the shortest month - seemed to fly by this year. Maybe it seemed extra short because of the unusually warm weather - that's my best explanation. I enjoyed decorating this year - sometimes I think I won't bother (no kids to decorate for), but I'm always glad when I fill my house with hearts. and love. This is Kim's version. Add here is mine. I loved using browns, tans, and taupe prints for this project. I also loved my pillow which was made by my friend Teresa Lewis! Look at those buttons!

Love isn't love 'til you give it away! This Valentine's banner that Becky cut and sewed for us made me happy all month! And also, my Valentine table runner (that I made last year when I worked for Kim. Brought smiles anytime I looked at it. This sign/quote did too. It's on my kitchen window sill where I see it each morning. It inspires me to go and do. I found cards and stickers to help add loving messages. I had a good supply of these cherry. We had a grand Valentine's Day, Scott and I, taking goodies t...

BuRnt CooKiEs: November 2014
http://debbieraymond.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Today, Thanksgiving morning, as I set my table for dinner guests, I knew I had to pause for an hour and write a blog post. We've had many life events since my last post. I got "blogged" down because I wanted to write about all of them. But it was all too overwhelming. I finally told myself that I can't go back. I just need to start where I am. So this sweet story brought me back to blogging. How did she remember that this was my china? My favorite - a little cream pitcher that goes straight to my heart!

BuRnt CooKiEs: December 2013
http://debbieraymond.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
65279;My cousin got married the Friday before Christmas. Amazingly my parents and all four of "us kids" were able to attend and we got some family photos. We are in birth order - I'm the oldest, Gary, then Merilee, and Doug is the baby. Merilee's handsome husband, Val. This was a candid shot, not a pose, and isn't it great. I wanted to share some of the gorgeous storefronts from our NYC trip in November. Harry Winston was a huge wow. The jewelery stores seemed to go all out. Rockefeller Center ice skatin...

A little bit of readiNg. Yesterday I wrote a blog post about a book called The Rent Collector. By Camron Wright. I had read about half of the book when I decided to blog it, and I made some negative comments. Well, all day today, I felt bad about writing about a book that I hadn't finished. So I decided that this evening, after I went to the gym and had dinner, I'd finish the book and then revise my blog post. The book is about a young mother who learns how to read from an unlikely teacher - the cruel wo...

BuRnt CooKiEs: SiNging in the RaIn
http://debbieraymond.blogspot.com/2015/07/singing-in-rain.html
SiNging in the RaIn. What's more fun than an umbrella and a downpour? You'd have thought the circus was in the front yard of grammy's house to see these Las Vegas girls enjoying a beautiful summer rain! The little one couldn't get enough of splashing in the puddles.she was soaked by the time the rainbow appeared. And Suzie danced her heart out, just like Fred Astaire in the movie.singing and dancing in the rain. Like mother, like daughter! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
