Life
Today was a tough day...actually it just sucked! Yesterday my dear friend and colleague learned her husband had suffered a massive stroke. Today she let me know that he passed away. From the initial information, this was very unexpected. He works out of state, so she has had to travel away from home. I pray the angels wrap their arms around Carolynn, her children and all of her family.
I posted this on my Instagram account..."Live every second, every minute, every hour, and everyday like it's your last. Tomorrow, the day after and everyday after that, challenge yourself to do something you've always wanted to do but haven't. Live life with no regrets."
We always say "I'll do that tomorrow." What if tomorrow isn't there? Or what if your tomorrow isn't what you expected? Don't live a life filled with "later" and "what if." Do your absolute best to make a difference in your own life, as well as the lives of those who mean the most to you.
Four Vials
Visited the endocrinologist today. I'm hopeful that my "busted" thyroid is just "re-busted" which would explain the last three, crappy months! Fingers crossed for getting a new dose!
Family Dinner
April was the Jensen's turn to host Family Dinner. Chad's great idea...Greece!! After some searching on the internet the menu was set:
Cocktails: Greek Mojitos & Sidecars
Appetizer: Greek Chicken Pizza
Main Course: Traditional gyro meat (a combo of lamb & beef baked in a loaf), homemade pitas and Tzatziki Sauce
Side Dish: Greek Orzo Salad
Dessert: Baklava
Everything turned out great...and that's just not my biased opinion! :)
And the random, non-family dinner pic is of the CRAZY golfers that we saw most of the day in the COLD, WINDY, SNOWY weather. I love my golf, but really!?!?!?
Wind
Today reminded me of how sucky the wind is! I'm glad spring is here, but the wind could have been left behind!
Today's pics...found a few little patches of moss on the course today. They sort of looked like they were blooming. Just thought it was cool.
Second...lots of thought regarding tonight's cocktail. ;) Went for a "long time, no see - or drink" Gin & Tonic.
Spring Buds
We made it out to the backyard before golf and got the grasses & plants trimmed. Went back out this evening and found several of the bushes budding out. Just today the aspen tree managed to pop out some new leaves. The photo is of the sumac. (Liked this one off my Canon better than my Instagram pic.)
Frosty Morning
Last night we got some much needed moisture in the form of both rain and snow...ended up with an icy layer on everything.
On a Walk
Today I took a walk on the trails behind the school. Came across some lots of cactus and the spring wildflowers are starting to come out. This one is a favorite of mine. A virtual "birthday flower" for my mom today...Happy Birthday and I Love You! :)
