I have had to upgrade my Picasa web album storage as I've used all the allotted free storage. Google told me it takes 24 hours to take effect. So I can't download photos until then -- sorry for the blogging delay!
We are still waiting for my grandson to choose his birthday -- thanks for all your nice comments and emotional support. Please keep sending good thoughts and prayers for his safe delivery -- Thanks!

About Me
- Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti
- Colorado / New York, United States
- Hello and welcome! I'm Pat, a lifelong New Yorker who has recently moved to a suburb of Denver in the beautiful state of Colorado, so that I can live close to my children and grandchildren. I look forward to learning many new things about my new "mile high" city and I will share them on my blog. New York City will always be my second home, and I will also continue to share many posts about it. My blog's name in Italian means a "Thousand Favorite Flowers." I chose this unusual blog name because researching and writing for my blog, and taking photogrpahs for it, is like another "memory flower" that I am collecting in my bouquet of life. I hope you will enjoy your visit to my blog and that you will leave a comment so that I know you've been here. Thanks!

We write to taste life twice. Once in the moment, And once in retrospection. ~ Anais Nin

Rocky Mountain National Park
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” ― John Muir, Our National Parks
Colorado
You can fall in love at first sight with a place as with a person ~ Alec Waugh
Mt Evans
I was uplifted above a world of love, hate, and storms of passion, for I was calm amidst the eternal silences, bathing in the living blue. For peace rested that one bright day on the mountaintop. ~ Isabella Bird "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains"

"Life is your art. An open, aware heart is your camera. A oneness with your world is your film." ~Ansel Adams
Rocky Mountain National Park
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” ~Roald Dahl
Rocky Mountain National Park
And our first pure mountain day, warm, calm, cloudless, - how immeasurable it seems, how serenely wild! I can scarcely remember its beginning. Along the river, over the hills, in the ground, in the sky, spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm, new life, new beauty, unfolding, unrolling in glorious exuberant extravagance, - new birds in their nests, new winged creatures in the air, and new leaves, new flowers, spreading, shining, rejoicing everywhere. - John Muir
Colorado Beauty
“Still round the corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate, and though I oft have passed them by, a day will come at last when I shall take the hidden paths that run West of the Moon, East of the Sun.” - J.R.R. Tolkien,

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. ~Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

1998 - 2013 I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me, but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.

I kept reading and thinking you were going to say little cutie pie had arrived. I pray he decides to come on out soon. I know I was past due and every day seems like a year. I pray you are doing well and I can't wait to hear about the arrival.
Yup, I thought I'd missed something! :D
Now this upgrading sounds interesting. Expensive?
I will keep checking in with you to see what birthday your grandson chooses! Saying a little prayer for his healthy and safe delivery.
LOVE your header! PERFECT for this time of year!
I haven't been on blogland much lately, but this morning I went straight here to see if HE was there. Of course I pray for a safe delivery, maybe it is now on!!! and a beautiful baby, so exiting, will come back often to know how things are going.
Hugs, Pat, ok so he's missed St Nick's day. What's the next major saint day coming up?
I think they don't like babies to be more than 2 weeks overdue in the UK. Laura my 1st was 15 days late but the midwives were fine about it as we were both fine.
Ok let's think positive- he's GOT to come out this year. Hugs Pat. It is easier on the mother to go into labour naturally than be induced. I'm praying for a quick safe delivery too.
Good morning Pat...Fingers crossed the little fellow will debut soon! Maybe he's waiting until the Picasa is updated because he knows you'll need all the extra space just for his pictures...LOL
;-) Bo
Good Morning, Sweet Pat!
I'm sorry about the picture storage problem. We've missed you, and I had hoped you might have heard something on the new addition... but we wait with you! :-)
Annie got into some serious mischief and nearly got me in trouble. Truth! But it wasn't our fault. We happened to be there at the wrong time. ;-)
XO,
Sheila
I can't wait to see this baby! You better post a photo asap..promise? ;)
He's still not here? He must be enjoying the warmth of his mommie and the sound of her heart so near.
Still praying!
xo Cori
Hi Pat, Won't be long now and whatever day the little one chooses will be a very special day and Bo's right you will need a lot more storage from Picasa! hehe, my blog roll is not updating so I will keep checking, cannot wait to meet the little guy. hugs, Kathy
Thinking of you and your dear sweet grandson. What an early Christmas blessing! God bless.
I was getting excited when I didn't see you Friday...I thought the little guy made his way out into the world. He's probably all warm and cozy where he is...I don't blame him for "staying inside" a little longer, LOL!
Waiting on the edge of my seat...
Laura
It shouldn't be long now! I'm remembering you all in my prayers too. I can't wait to hear all about him.
I`ve been checking your blog almost daily on baby watch. It can`t be too long now. Still in my prayers.
Being a TypePad user, I don't know what you just said :), but I am sure it will be worth the wait.
The Little Yankee has his own idea about his entrance into this world! Dana
Just stopping by to say hello and send you lotsa love! :)
*hugs*
I posted a new painting. I think it's my best yet!
love you!
Hi Pat,
Sorry for your computer problems.
Praying for a safe delivery, and a healthy little one.
Hugs,
Donna

I keep thinking about you and your new Grandbaby, eagerly awaiting your exciting news!!!!
