Sick all week but finished the race!! Challenge 13

Wow...hope you don't catch what ever this is. I started feeling yucky around the 9th, 10th...kept going until the 14th and crashed. Have not left the apartment since. 3 calls to the doctor, antibiotics for the absolutely head splitting sinus infection and body jarring bronchitis...new nasal spray, fizzy meds to put in water for fever/aches and the list continues. I have not worked since Friday 13th. I am lucky that the race was pretty well done and yesterday, hot tea in hand I finished the last race, lucky #13.

7) Love is in the Air

The top photo of my grandparents was typical of any photo of them together. Happy, smiling, touching and in love. I was blessed to be able to grow up spending most of my young years living with them. I have found that love with my dh, and the center photo is of us taken standing in the cobblestone street in Paris, in front of the "Mairie of the 19th Arron." (City hall for our section of Paris) on a beautiful day in May. The cobblestones are all lilac-ish color because of the trees that line the streets around were all in bloom at that time, with that color flower. You can see them in the background. The bottom photo is my mom holding me when I was just 3-4 months old. She was, is, and always will be a mother who loves her children, grandchild and great grandchild with every breath she takes.
