We are all going down to Ray and Linsey's this weekend to celebrate Meggie's birthday. I can't believe she is going to be 1 year old. She is such a petite little thing. She came to vist a few weeks ago and you see how absolutely cute she is. Whenever anyone sees her the first thing they want to do is kiss her (especially me). The other kids are crazy for her. In fact, as you can see below, we had to put her in "jail" so the kids would quit bothering her and making her cry. She doesn't complain though because she is so good natured.

Meggie is my love name for Megan. She will always be Meggie to me. I am so blessed to have 11 great, wonderful, beautiful, smart, adorable, smart, active, funny, did I say smart, best grandchildren in the world.

Happy Birthday Meggie and know that we all love you very much.

Okay, here goes. This is a thought without any pictures. Most of the time I don't blog because I don't have any pictures but this will have to do.

I am most happy right now today, than I've been in awhile. Why?? I'll tell you. Because my sweetheart is as happy as I've seen him in a long time. He is almost giddy with anticipation. The new cows have made his life less tenuous and now we can really get on with building our ranch out to the meadow. It makes me so happy to see him happy. It is true what they say about happiness. If you want to be happy just make someone else happy and you will be too. If you are only thinking of yourself and your own happiness it never comes. I seem to forget that from time to time but I am back on track and looking forward to a bright new future on the ranch. We have turned a corner and we are on the upward trend. No more doom and gloom for me. So if you really want to be happy, see what you can do for your sweety pie and see how it makes you feel.
