If You're Happy and You Know It. Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Good wife. Great mother. Decent Lady. BAD BLOGGER. I miss the days that each Sunday I could sit down and review the week. I initially started the blog for our parents so they could keep up with the grandkids. After awhile, it became more than that to me.a journal of sorts that allowed me time to reflect on life as it happened. So I present, my list of 2011 favorite things:. The weather surprised us many times in 2011. Definitely one of our ...

If You're Happy and You Know It. Sunday, October 12, 2014. She takes my breath away. There’s no other way to describe it. I don’t render myself speechless often, but when it comes to her, she takes me to that place where words leave and the soul slows down. Blonde whispy hair around her face. Small dimples in the crease of her smile. We hear too often how she’s my “mini-me”. I’m sure in my younger day, it could be true. If only it were that easy. 8220;Cheer up, Lily Bean. Oh, what can it mean. Birthday, ...

If You're Happy and You Know It. Friday, March 30, 2012. I have never been one to focus on a number. Age. Money. Prizes. They all seem quite trivial to me. As I sit and wrap up the last few hours of my 37. I stare at this picture and see a woman that I know. If you look carefully, you will see no makeup, hair tied back in a scarf, dimples and moles. It brings me pure joy to see the past 37 have not taken those things from me. I am a lover of music of all kinds. Every few months, I am blessed with a p...

If You're Happy and You Know It. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. All is calm. All is bright. Its my favorite night. Its that moment where it feels like the world slows down to a halt. I remember one night a few years ago. It was the storybook Night Before Christmas. The kind of night that Christmas cards are made about. The stockings were hung, the children were nestled, and it snowed. I stepped outside for a moment. Christmas is something different to everyone. To some, its about family. There is one thing ...

lilytate: August 2015
http://lilytate.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
If You're Happy and You Know It. Sunday, August 30, 2015. A few weeks ago, I took my Cannondale into the local bike shop. I was once again reminded of the character of my bike as I was greeted with, “This is a great bike…a classic.”. I have to admit, it made me smile. I felt like the guy at the car show with a classic mustang. As I started my ride, I couldn’t help but notice that something felt different. I wasn’t sure if it was the new tires or a freshly created playlist. It was a great day for a ride.

If You're Happy and You Know It. Monday, July 14, 2014. TRO Post: Daddy's Birthday. Today is my dad’s birthday and he is turning 40 years old, and I do mean OLD. I thought that it would be a good time to write about him. My dad is the best dad you could ever have. He is funny, smart, and nice. There are so many more things I could tell you about him. He and I are alike in many ways. We both like basketball. We both like the Kentucky Wildcats. Sunday, July 6, 2014. Cannonballs on Canandaigua Lake. Every c...
