56 And Loving It!

I'm so happy to be who I am and where I am.
Life has it's drawbacks now and then, but all in all ~ I AM BLESSED!


I've been obsessed with cupcakes lately so yesterday I baked myself a batch, and Jayden helped me add food coloring to the icing, and then we set them up on a cupcake tree that Ray had bought for me:


The kids will come over tonight and we'll enjoy them.


I also made myself a delicious broccoli/cheese pie (egg substitutes and low-fat cheese) and had it for breakfast (I found the recipe on one of those 'get healthy' blogs):



And I was searching for the definition of 'grandma chic' for my other blog (grandma chic is both a style of dress and a style of home decor) and I came across these wonderful pictures:





My favorite images are these next ones from a blog called The Sartorialist ~ fabulous photographs! But he did have great subjects to work with!

Very chic!

Adorable!

Fashionable!

Ooh-la-la!

And my absolute favorite is this one (she makes me want to let my hair go gray!):

Now this is my idea of 'Grandma Chic'!
When I grow up I want to be just like her!

Seriously, I know how fortunate I am, and my heart and my prayers go out to those who are less fortunate, those whose health is failing, those who watch loved ones suffer, those who are facing death, those who are letting go, those who are trying desperately to hold on, those who are having financial troubles, those who suffer from addiction, those who are jobless, those who are homeless, those who are lonely, those who suffer persecution, those who are in the military and far from loved ones, and today especially my heart goes out to the people of Haiti.
