On a quiet morning in January, my husband, Duhgall and I went to our favorite neighborhood restaurant for breakfast. Not "our" neighborhood, but one that we cherish our strolls through. Nothing beats a good walk to burn up the huge breakfast!! And nothing beats a good walk so honey can test out his new camera that I had mentioned some posts back. Come along....enjoy.
Cherish YOUR special moments together and take sometime to LOVE those around you!!
xx
(PS: Continued thanks for all of the prayers and heartfelt comments. I just love you all!!!!!)
A beautiful neighborhood. Wishing you peace in the simple things.
ReplyDeleteSweet Becky, We cherish you. You are a special giving lady . What a beautiful walk you took us on today. What great photos. I just love watching Doogs stroll along, and how is Miss Fiona settling in?
ReplyDeleteBlessings for you and yours,
Love, Jean in virginia
Love ya back! Love, E xxxoooo
ReplyDeleteOh, Miss Becky! There are lovely vintage homes out there with our names on them. I just know it!!! When you walk or drive by, they whisper your name. They are just waiting patiently for us. Duhgall certainly looks at home. We'll have to all meet for breakfast as soon as Miss Fiona J. can venture out into the world.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are just beautiful. I have serious camera envy there Mr. B.!
My dear SIL ~ I love you and miss you. Hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteMy dear sweet SIL ~ I miss you and love you even more. I would love to have breakfast with you and take that nice stroll.
ReplyDelete{{{{hugs}}}}
Becky,
ReplyDeleteI can absolutely see why you love this neighborhood, the homes are beautiful! I love all the architectural & garden detail your husband caught with his new toy! Hee hee! :-)
Just scrolled back and met your new addition, Miss Fiona Jordyn. Now that is a little face after my own heart! Duhgall will get used to her. We had Milo for 2 years before Layla and he is starting to act like he likes her (well, sort of), but don't tell him I said that!!
Hope all is going well with you and your family! You sound happy!!
xoxo

Very good eye to catch interesting sites and details!
ReplyDeleteDoggie is adorable, and hope that Spring will help a little.
...hi becky!
ReplyDeleteSo you pictured my "favorite" house in Modesto. The first picture you took on Elmwood, it "was" my favorite before they painted it :( That cool french-y green/yellow that it was before. Do you remember? Do you know who bought that house? *sigh*
Elmwood is my favorite street :) I actually bought an old street sign, when the city was selling their old street signs. It hangs in my living room. Check out the house on the corner of Caroline & Fairmont (I think). The address is Caroline, very very pretty tudor. I'm sure you've seen it.

I always love your little neighborhood tours.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by. It was so nice to hear from you Becky.

Love the photos! Looks like a great place to take a stroll. I also love that version of Cruisin' with Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing "your" beautiful neighborhood- lovely homes but more importantly, lovely time together. Thanks for the reminder. As an aside, I am aching for a puppy and loving that Scottie of yours!! Not sure what breed we will end up with but our home is missing a doggy.
ReplyDeleteglad you and hubby had such a nice walk...the pictures were lovely
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! What a lovely way to spend time together. My husband and I do that too. We also do the breakfast thing on occasion. Those are treasured moments!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Thanks for the picturesque stroll! It reminds me of a custom-built home in my parents' subdivision that I just adored when I was growing up. It was a total Hansel & Gretel house! So cottage-y! But it was the inside...oh the inside, that I just absolutely loved. The home was small; a story and a half, but the "half" was a loft where my friend and her sister shared a bedroom. It was a magical place to play! I am going home this weekend (St. Louis, yeah!) and I am going to take a picture of that house and post on my blog next week. I will revisit your blog and let you know when I post...you will love it, Miss Sweet Cottage Dreams!
ReplyDeleteHope Miss Fiona Jordyn is doing well and getting along with Mr. Dughall. Take Care and Blessings from Kansas!
I love to look at homes. Your post is beautiful. What eye candy!
ReplyDeleteAnd then it's always fun to cruse with the one you love.

Oh your pictures makes me "spring sick" I am so ready to be outside and digging in the dirt...... Me and my DH are thinking about having a little Scottie dog after this Schnauzer we have...... but I need to study them a bit..... I need a dog that is hypo-allergenic..
ReplyDeleteSchnauzers do not shed..... I have such allergies........
Praying that your days are peaceful and full of the tender arms of the Father to heal the heart.........
Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteI recognize the neighborhood. My husband and I came very close to purchasing a home in the same location. Is it a beautiful neighborhood indeed. Its good to get out for a walk between all the rain drops.I've had a full week of rain. If its not raining at home then its raining all day at work. I commute to the bay area every day and its been non stop rain.
My husband and I also will take a stroll from time to time in same area so maybe one day we will run into each other.
Enjoy your day,
Elizabeth
What an absolutely gorgeous neighborhood. I love those huge houses. Don't you wish sometimes, you could just knock on the door and ask to see around the place? Glenn thinks I'm nuts when i say I want to do that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on your walk...Duhgall looks like he's have a fine time! You're still in my prayers....
Hugz,
Michele
What a beautiful neighbourhood to walk through with sweet Duhgall. Little Miss Fiona is absolutely precious :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet neighborhood and great pictures! What kind of camera did you get?
ReplyDeleteI loved that tour. The pictures you took captured so much that others might miss. You found those extra special details and love put into those homes. Just lovely. Thank you for taking us along with you.
ReplyDeleteHow is the puppy doing? How is housetraining going?

Judi
What a beautiful neighborhood...Loved the witch weather vane....Hope you and your family are doing well...Enjoy the new pup!

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND LOVED.

Good Morning Becky,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to send you a smile this morning :) or two :) and a big hug from Florida.
Dee
Becky.. :) Good morning! We love you too! If I didn't know better I would think you were right here on one of the wood streets in Riverside. For one moment..
ReplyDeleteHow good it is to see you back. There is even a house that looks so much like yours. Just built in that era of course.
One even has two little Scotties that run out and talk to me when I walk past. Thank you for taking us on your walk with you. If you see any of that precious rain up your way, be sure and send it to us. We have had such a dry Winter..and here it is nearly Spring. We need the rain for the poppies and other wild flowers.
Love and hugs,
Mona
My dear Becky, I just love looking at the world through your eyes..it's such a prettier place that way.
ReplyDeleteoxox
Jennifer
That looks like a fairytale!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky:
ReplyDeleteI love the homes in that neighborhood, and the manicured lawns. I got a kick out of the weather vane with the witch on it.
The last picture of Duhgall is precious.
Ginger
Oh thanks so much for sharing this beautiful walk with us! I loved every moment! Can't wait to see more pic's of Miss Fiona and Dughall. BTW he was adorable on the walk.
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings and a Big Hug and lick!
Love,
Sherry and Daisy
Adorable houses! But where is little miss Fiona?
ReplyDeleteI have been new to your blog. And wanted you to know how much i have been praying for you and your family. As a mom of two boys almost the same age your story really hit my heart. We have never met, but I feel your pain all the same. Praying God keeps you in his mighty grip! Karen~
ReplyDeleteDear Becky,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are either reading about grief or getting some grief counseling... I remember going to a counselor and telling her how I was forgetting everything, or would just start crying out of nowhere. It was a great comfort to hear;
' no, you're not cracking up! That's perfectly normal. Part of the grieving process.'
If I can be of any help, please email me.
