Renee is waiting for a job

all of us are waiting for spring weather

Rich is waiting to plant his garden

Summer is waiting to wear shorts and flip flops

we can't wait till Scooter Dogs opens for the season

the kids are waiting for summer vacation

summer is waiting to go swimming, lots of swimming

I am waiting for the newest Danielle Steel book

I can't wait to finally meet Bonita when we go to Disney

Kristin is waiting for answeres to big decisions

Kristin is waiting till she can see baby Eva again

I can't wait to see Sienna play soccer it's her first time

Rich is waiting for the first Indians game

Kristin is anxious for warm weather to arrive, she hates this cold

right now Lucky is waiting patiently for Rich to wake up and walk him

I am waiting for a dinner idea to pop in my head, any ideas anyone?

Sam is waiting for the new movie Coonts (sp?) to come out

I am waiting to go back to the track again, went yesterday and loved it

With all this waiting we paused long enough yesterday to enjoy just being here, being together, enjoying the almost spring weather. I enjoyed scrapping with my church friends. Being excited about Nancy retiring!! Watching Summer give Sam a big hug when she didn't know we were watching. Eating too many garlic potatoes Rich made, so good! Thankful for a walk at the track, so needed this and loved it. Listening as Rich helped Sam learn a new card game. Watching Summer and Sam riding bikes for the first time this year, love when they play together! Wishing Renee would come out and play more.

Slowing down to appreciate the RIGHT NOW and RIGHT HERE moments is what I enjoy and what fills my heart with peace and joy. Waiting for all these new and excited things to happen makes me more excited for them, the waiting process is always fun for me. So all these things can wait for today again I will just enjoy WHAT TODAY WILL BRING!!

    1. Hi Linda, thanks for the visit! Scooter Dogs is a great hot dog place. You go in and pick from 50 hot dog choices or a few other items they have like the YUMMY Chicken Salad sandwhiches. I'll be sure to tell more about it when we go.

      Dinner ideas don't come easy for me either, we finally settled on homemade pizza for half of us and Subway for the other half.
      Next month is Disney! Thanks for enjoying my post!
