Thank My LUCKY Stars!

I thank my lucky stars for my good friend, Linda...
We share not only a wonderful friendship... but many interests, as well...
one is STARBUCKS!!!... Last weekend I was thanking my lucky stars
she came to the city for a girlfriend bond...
and ofcourse a traditional trip to Starbucks!
We felt LUCKY to find these T-shirts in Winners then, too!!!

Last Sunday Jana and her kids were anxiously awaiting the arrival
of my son, Colin who came home for a quick visit from Montreal.
We were thanking our lucky stars he came  to see us...
and although I captured some fun pics of him, he prefers to not be seen here...
But I will share that he looked great...and to us he is a STAR!

Mariah is thanking her lucky stars for her mommy's flexibility...
here she is kicking to the stars when she popped by on her way to ballet last week.

I thank my lucky stars that Mariah loves to dance...
here she is doing a little living room performance
before heading to her dancing
last wednesday.

Mariah always loved to dance... here she is at the age of two
in her little tutu!
This is a pic in the little book I created years ago, called
" Beena Beena Ballerina"...
Here she is already reaching for the stars!

Here is a little photo with our grandkids when they popped by on Friday.
We thank our lucky stars for all the times we can share with them.

Beau stayed with us for a little bit on Friday while Mariah went to her friend's.
We had fun making cookies, eating cookies and crafting in the basement.
I am always thankful for this little guy in my life!

This morning at Fuddrucker's ... my friend and boss, Brenda, came out for
breakfast with us...
I thank my lucky stars for her friendship and for my job at her dance studio.

It wasn't long before our breakfast group turned into a party today!
So many of our friends were joining us today...
and our good friend, Mike, from Regina happened to be in town,
and even treated us to our breakfast today...
what a fun group we had!  

Also joining us today were Mariah and her friend Drew...
 they needed a separate table for they little crafts...
these two are inspeparable buddies...
they spent much of their weekend together.

Jana, Nels and Beau also accompanied the little girls this morning to our big
ongoing party group at Fuddrucker's for breakfast!
They do not join often... but we were thankful they did today... fun! 

Last weekend when my friend, Linda came, she brought a belated
birthday and Christmas gift for me...
all lovely things... a Believe bracelet, a Grandkid picture frame,
a little "Be Strong" book and a very cute star dangler!
on the right are some nice tulips  and a little polka dot book
called "instant happy", with a Shamrock headband... all things I
got last week in my travels!
Sometimes it is the little treasures in life that make me smile
and THANK MY LUCKY STARS!


Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day... a day when we thank all our LUCKY stars for all the LUCKY things in our lives.

I am always THANKFUL for so many things in mine.
Just this past week alone has been a week filled with LUCKY things and stars as well.

Last Saturday... we had a nice visit from our good friend, Robin... followed by a visit from my good friend, Linda, from Lanigan. We stay in touch daily but do not see each other that often, but when we do... I THANK MY LUCKY STARS... for her friendship and the fun we can
share every time we unite.

Sunday we were so LUCKY to have a nice little quick visit from my son, Colin... who came for a few days from Montreal where he lives. He shared his wonderful pics from his recent Asian trip... to Thailand and areas around. He was there for 2 months with his girlfriend, Caro...and they had a fabulous time. I only wish I could share some photos of Colin, but am respecting his wishes
to avoid posting him here.

He did get in visits with his grandparents, and his Aunts, Bev and Brenda, as well as Jana, Nels , Mariah and Beau...
as well as our friend, Vern.

This week I have also shared a couple outings with friends, Ella and Brenda. I am always grateful for great friends... in fact I thank my lucky stars always for them.

Yesterday I was really thankful for Ella, as I had a little dizzy spell at the gym and she was able to get me home safely...
She has been such a good help to me in many ways this past year... and for that I am also lucky!


Tomorrow is not only St. Patrick's day...
and a day where we sport green and think of shamrocks and all things lucky... it is also a birthday for two special people I know...
My brother Brian and my good friend, Linda.
I consider myself very LUCKY to have them in my life.
Hope they both have a
SHAM-ROCKIN' GOOD BIRTHDAY!

Tomorrow is the start of the new season of
"Dancing With the Stars"...
looks like they have some good STARS on it too...
so I'm excited to watch that show.

This past week... my father in law, Greg,
and Uncle Charlie
both landed in hospital...
We will all be thanking our LUCKY STARS
for the good care they will receive there.
I am sharing lots of love and healing vibes
for a comfortable stay for them both.

On that note...
Here is my rhyme of the day...

I just thank my lucky stars...
For friends and family of mine and ours.
Not only on St. Patrick's days,
But all year round in many ways.
I say it lots, but I'm so blessed,
My family and friends are just the best.
Through good and bad, I thank them all,
For all things whether great or small.
