My sad little girl who is a woman


I'm a happy content person usually but I do let  My adult children's troubles sometimes get the best of me,even though  My own life has been so wonderful.I can't remember ever being truly unhappy with life.I have one daughter that has had too many troubles in marriages.Tonight I feel  very bad for her.I just want to grab My little girl  and finally make everything right and beautiful for her.She has always believed her life would be wonderful like her Grandma's and Mom's.So this is my answer:We'll run away with her in this train and give her this castle and I will pick out a prince for her :) there, now it's perfect.

Tea Time.... at the Circus!

My kind of circus wouldn't be scary or creepy, to Me that is-O.K, a confession,I never liked the circus.I thought it was a scary and creepy place to be, until Bliss Angels and Tobby's Place gave Me an idea.I can make My own version at their Big Top Party found on My sidebar. Here it is.....
First,the cutest sweet creatures will walk you to your seats. 

 We will enjoy tons of dancing as we take our seats by elves,hobbits and fairies. 
The audience will be full of wonder and enchantment.
 Talented lions and sweet furry creatures who love to enjoy the niceties of High Tea will be the main act.  Gorgeous good witches and handsome knights keep the lions  and all other creatures enjoying  their tea and crumpets.

This sweet clown will be helping them serve .
Do not feed or handle the  animals,


but do enjoy the sweet fun rides.

Of course, you may have both of these goodies any time you like.They were the only thing I loved about  the circus as a child :) Enjoy as much as you can tolerate.Oh yum!
In the main ring-Big Daddy having tea.
Side rings, circus animal friends at Tea Time.....
Outside the tents in the patio we will  all join them for tea  ;  )
Thank you for joining My circus Tea Time ,Love Dangerous Denise.

Weekend Getaway

Oatmeal and coffee on the hotels patio
We ran from San Bernadino Countie's heat wave the last few days.In Rancho Cucamonga it was in the 100s.So off we went to Ventura beaches.Breezy,beautiful and Autumn cool :) I don't usually post our getaways,Paul and I go so often on two day trips.This one I wanted to share.I don't know why, maybe because of the Autumn breeze and My weight loss.

When we go to the ocean,I love sitting on the balcony thinking about God and His mighty power and great works.In the morning He shows Me great and mighty wonders and gifts to Me,like dolphins in play and hunting. 



So relaxing and He won't leave His babies at home.He takes them where ever He can.

Who wears makeup on vacation?Not Me. 

Ventura pier.

Now I'm getting so brave.(My progression in My bariatric weight loss-OUCH-)Right after this shot We got up to walk to the end of the pier,My hat blew off without me knowing.Walking back from the end,I noticed a homeless man with My hat on.Of course, I hope He's enjoying it right now.
In a few Months I hope you won't recognize Me. Thank you Lord for a wonderful get away.....the breeze and dolphins and all.                 Love Denise

One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
