Busy is GOOD!!

What a busy weekend I have had so far with another full day today!!!  I love to be busy, surrounded by family and friends and having fun!!  
It is Gemuetlichkeit Days here in Jefferson, WI.  What is that you might ask?  It is German Heritage Days and a host of wonderful family events are the order of the weekend.  Bed races this morning followed by our always delightful parade.  Yes it is a great excuse for drinking in the streets and grilling out but it is much more in my heart of hearts!  My husband accompanied me to my very first  Gemuetlichkeit parade and together we enjoyed the fun and festivities!  It is so bittersweet for me...yet I love it!  Tears are shed throughout the day as memories of my sweet, gentle Matthew invade my heart and mind.  How he loved to be with us all and we with him.  This man that brought so many new experiences into my life will always and forever be with all of us who love and miss him so very much.

We entered out precious little doggies into the cutest pet contest for the first time and wouldn't you know EVERYONES entries were misplaced!!!  LOL  So we will not find out the winners until after the event ends!!  It's okay we had a blast getting them ready.  I made them little floral crowns and we took their pictures in front of a little German flag with beer steins of beer, secretly applying peanut butter around the rim so the doggies would lick inside the mugs.  They came out a bit blurry but very cute anyway.  I think we stand a good chance to win.
So my friends I just want to say once again that Life IS Good, and I am living it as best I can!!  Have a wonderful day!!!!!
