First up breakfast cooked outside on the patio!

Happy Father'Day

It's a great day to celebrate being a father and dad! My love to my boys Erik and Ben for being the best dads and fathers! To Edward for being the father of our home, and to my dad for letting me tag along! Love and hugs to each of you!

Happy Birthday!

Today is a very special day in our family! 39 years ago today we welcomed a beautiful blue eyed blonde haired baby girl! We named her Amanda after her great grandma Johnson Amanda Irene Perrault. She died a few months after my dad was born, so we are having to wait to meet her.  Her middle name Joy is the first half of my name Joydene. She is known by Mandy to friends and family. Then 8 yrs ago we brought home a new puppy to be Ed's buddy to help him through his cancer trials. I mean to tell you this dog is the best friend Ed could ever have! What a love in our lives. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to two incredible family members! You are loved and appreciated. Hugs Mom

Happy Memorial Day

I am thankful to be an American, and grateful to my father Ben Johnson and to my husband Edward Walunas who fought to help keep our country free! I bought my red poppy to help support our disabled veterans. May we ever be free! Hugs

Happy Mother's Day

To my mother, I Love You so Much and thank you for all your love and sacrifice you gave so I could have all I needed. To my children who blessed me to be a Mother! I Love You. And to my grandchildren who are the most wonderful bonus for being a Mother. Love and Hugs to all my daughters and daughter in laws who have the blessings of being a Mother. May we all keep marching forward in this Devine calling one step at a time. Love, Mom
