Geena (aka Ginger)

 
I am blessed with the most amazing friends.  They have been there for so much of my dramatic life.  Boy, and what drama!!  ha   I am so blessed to know that people care about my son and me.  But, this entry is about my friend, Geena (aka Ginger).  I met Geena at a support group for broken hearted people, yes, a divorce support group. 
 
Geena has been a true friend, not only a friend, but a best friend.  We have our moments, all friendships do, but she knows that I would be there for her and vice versa.   Geena, my son and I have certainly had our share of adventures. 
 
Geena is as close as a sister.  I am thankful everyday for the friendships that God has given me.  Especially, friendships that go the distance.  I hope that Geena and I can remain close for a very long time, definitely for eternity, literally.  : )
 
 







 Geena (aka Ginger), thanks
 for being a wonderful friend!

Saturday Adventure in Guffey, CO

Buffalo roaming in Divide, CO

My friend Geena and I decided to take a road trip yesterday to Guffey, CO.  I was recommended by an acquaintance that there was an interesting cemetery that I should visit.  So our adventure began.  Geena and I enjoyed ourselves!  The town of Guffey is interesting to say the least, and the people are friendly.  Of course, they are not thrilled with people moving into town and changing things up, but who is?!  We saw a lot of interesting things too.  Unfortunately, we never found the cemetery, so another road trip is being scheduled.
Beautiful to photograph, maybe even paint.  Watercolors?!  Hmmmm

Nice TUBS!

I think I found a date for next Saturday night.
 I believe the eyes do it for me.  Sexy!

But, this fella might be a little more fun. 
 AUGH!  Decisions! Decisions!


 




Mr. Bill gave my friend Geena and me these little hearts to remember our visit.  He makes them from scrap metal and stated that he gives them to all the ladies that come and visit the town of Guffey.  Bill was an interesting man and Guffey is an interesting town.  Definitely, going back.  There was a CafĂ© that we want to try, their BBQ smelled awesome!

C's Home

There are some homes that when you walk in, there is a certain serenity.  A personality that is totally the person who one is spending time with.  I have such a friend, and her name is "C."  I love going to my friend's "C's"  home.  Her home exudes vibrancy, an eclectic style and a Bohemian lifestyle that I truly appreciate.  "C" is her own person, with her elegant style and appreciation of the delicate, whimsical and bright colors.  I feel relaxed in "C's" home, maybe because her style definitely personifies her personality.  Even her refrigerator reflects the person that "C" is, a little OCD, but she is just fun!  Even though "C" is a quiet reserved person, one can pick up the sultry person that she doesn't think she is.  I love her cobalt blue dishes and her many bunnies in her home. "C" also collects bottle which are displayed throughout her home.  I was given a red bottle which I display lovingly in my dining room.  I admire my friend "C" very much.  She personifies everything I aspire to be.  She is beautiful, inside and out.  She is patient and loving.  She is kind and funny.  She is creative and a fantastic cook, even with her vegan lifestyle, the woman can cook!  I love my friend "C" very much and she has been a blessing to me for several years.  How we met is a story within itself, but the Lord brought us together in an unusual way.  Thank you, Lord, for "C."  She has been a blessing in more ways that I can say.  I am so glad and honored to have her in my life!

My beautiful friend, "C"
 
 
 
 

 
I believe there are sufficient magnets on her fridge. 
 What do you think?

Friday Night with America

It is almost 10:30 pm on a Friday night.  I really had nothing planned for tonight.  I talked to several friends on the phone and made plans with them to meet for dinner in a couple of weeks.  No date, no movies, no drinks, no nothing.  It is just me and "America."  I was planning to stop by the liquor store and purchase a bottle of wine, but that didn't even seem enticing.  What?!  No wine!!  ha  I will be picking up Nathaniel around 11 pm.  I figured there really was not much to do.  Bills are paid, apartment is cleaned, dogs are fed and dishes are still waiting for me in the sink.  Ummmm, those can wait.  It seems odd that I didn't plan anything for tonight.  Maybe subconsciously, I wanted it that way.  Just me and "America," and why not?  Damn!  I knew I should have stopped by the liquor store, a glass of wine would have been great right now.  Oh well, I will need to be getting out soon and then I am hitting the sack early, yeah 11:30 pm is early, at least for me.  Well, listening to one of my favorite rock bands does make up for the lack of wine, especially when listening to "America" on a Friday Night.
