Thursday Art Date With Rain ... A Fond Moment


 "A" Fond Moment

"A"Fond Moment?  Who has only one fond moment.  I could fill pages with fond moments so coming up with "A" Fond Moment is next to impossible ... So I will spare you a lifetime review and just post a few fond moments for lack of time and space to post all of them.

Getting married has to be high on the list of Fond Moments ...

Having kids is another endless source of fond moments ... so where to begin or end?


And from kids I naturally go to my two wonderful Granddaughters ...



I could write a book about all of the fond moments I shared with Izzi ... She was so much a part of our lives .  I have had many dogs in my lifetime and I loved them all dearly, but Izzi was more than a dog ... she was a friend and constant companion.  She was family and we still miss her ...

Our Boyz, Chachi and Fonzi , who were born in the guest room closet (a long story) added too many fond moments to count.


Being a Nurse ... oh, I could tell stories upon stories ... most of them Fond Moments, some, not so much ...


Volunteering at the Raptor Rehab Facility was another glorious experience loaded with fond  moments and once again, I can only share a few highlights. 


My trips to Thailand were loaded with fond moments ...

And Switzerland ...

and on and on and on ... In reality, I have been blessed with a lifetime of Fond Moments and I am ever so grateful for each and every one.  As time has run out, I wish you all a Happy Easter and remember ... it's not over until it is over, so stay safe!

Another beautiful post, and yes I totally agree, it's impossible to choose just one fond moment as they often come in waves. So many proud moments full of love for life.
Wishing you a wonderful Easter & best wishes Tracey xx

It is and has been a wonderful life Andrea, thanks for sharing! I just learned it is possible to have a favourite pet of many. I never thought about it.

I am happy to learn that you have so many fond memories of what has evidently been a life with many exciting, fulfilling phases. As you might imagine, I am especially delighted to see pictures of your time spent in raptor rehabilitation. There is no higher calling in my book!

I envy you. So many fond moments.
I have to say, you look stunning as a nurse. It is great to know even hard work can bring lots of fond moments :) I would have loved working with animals and birds, but that was not my destiny.
Take care.

Izzy is smiling at you!!!!!!!!! Now that is a photo I'd title "soul mates"...but then so would the first photo of your wedding! So lovely. That photo of you when you were a nurse is wonderful, you can really see your dimples!!! ☺☺
