I'll carry the sun in my hand for you

Good Morning WORLD! Today I am elated to announce our warmest day of the year so far, hello 70's. I hope for a nice long lay in the sunshine after work. That last sentence makes me laugh so I'm leaving it:) Hey, I even shaved my legs.

This weekend was filled with so much heavy stuff I just want to put it away for now. I don't think I have ever felt this emotionally drained. I'm counting the days until my sister arrives on April 17th, my Dad's birthday. Without the love and support of my family and friends I would be in a very dark place. Now more than ever I need good times to help take my mind off of death so that I can return to my Dad happy and strong. We still have some tough days ahead.

I also need some clothes to make me feel good. This outfit was getting so much love on Friday!
The leggings are Kiss Me Kitty of course and the dress is made from up cycled bits.

I even got recognized as Betty Lou's mermaid at Pip's Donuts, I'm a celebrity people!

I won't let it go to my head.

Even cats like me and I am not a cat person.

Unlike my my sister from another mister, who is part feline herself.

Sunday we hung out again this time with our boys and burgers and beer were involved.

My new thrifted bag.

Cristi said she dressed up extra wild just for me.

I loved her hair!

Some more fabulous KMK!

We went for a nice walk on Mount Tabor. These dogs were too cute to walk past. They are buddies.

Portland's drinking water.

It felt so good to be outside breathing in the air and feeling the pounding of my own heart.

Feeling pretty has its own healing effect.

So does being silly.

and stopping to notice a gorgeous magnolia in full bloom

and walks with friends.

I hope you all know how much your advice and kind words about my Dad I am taking to heart. My strength comes from knowing I'm not alone in my grief and heartache and being very grateful for the wonderful life I have.
