Just a simple good morning!

Good morning ! It looks like a sunny , beautiful Autumn day and one of the great things about it is that my daughter is home for a couple days visiting. Soon everyone will be up and I probably won't have much time for blogging for a couple days .

The picture is from this summer at Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. I love our Michigan vacations!
and this is Michelle on Sugar Loaf Mountain in Marquette, Michigan overlooking Lake Superior


This is Michelle and her Daddy

I guess it is Michelle day ! I love and am proud of all my children!

A Poem about Daughters
A Daughter Is Born
by Judith A. Drew
Encircle your child with love
Offer your hand to guide her
Shower her with tenderness
Shelter away her fears

May she look for sunshine when
There seems to be clouds
May she take a step further to
Find the best in people and life

May she show kindness and patience
Towards others
May confidence and poise propel
Her in life

Teach her appreciation for small
Things in life
The abundance of nature close at
Her feet
Help her to learn the power of
Words spoken
The response to actions which
Might be awakened

Shower her with your love and
Your pride
Protect her as needed, but let
Her fly free
Free to stand tall with absolute
Dignity

As she grows and discovers
Keep memories keen
For times in the future
When she flies free

Remember too as she grows to
Be a woman
She's a reflection of yourself
A reflection of the joy, kindness,
And dignity
A reflection of a woman set free
To pass down her teachings
From no other than thee.


My daughter and I Christmas Ever 2012
