. It's a wonderful doc, 4 a wonderful man. Sending much love to up above. I'm sure he's smiling down tonight. Awesome.
Celebrating a wonderfully strong, sensitive & special man on the 11th anniversary of his passing. So missed. Can't help but feel a dark cloud today (and all last week!) 😥, but grateful for what we had together. 🌈 What a journey! Blessed, even with the tears.
Patrick & our beautiful Tammen. 10 yrs ago 2day Patrick passed from this world. Remembering his spirit grace strength & love. What an incredible & special man. So missed, but I am so grateful 4 our life together & the love I feel as I carry him in my heart. Always, Darling... XXX
9 yrs ago Patrick passed. Can't help but b a sad day. I threw purple roses in the ocean 4 him. He would have loved that. Loved the ocean & its adventure! To my surprise, the current carried the roses out 2 sea!

Thinking of all who fight as hard as he did

Remembering a wonderful man 2day & what would have been our 44th anniversary. Use 2 b these events laid-me-out for weeks. But this afternoon I feel melancholy, but full of luv & celebration 4 what we had & what still lies in our hearts. Love doesn't die. He still makes me smile.
Celebrating Patrick's B'day today. He was so full of adventure & unafraid to embrace life. And always ready to take chances! He was never going to live in the shadows. He was a bright light, so bright that it still dazzles! Love you, always, & forever, my darling man.
Albert says when a butterfly lands on u it’s a visitation from someone who has passed from this world. Maybe Patrick? 2day is his b'day & this beauty landed on my finger & stayed for 10+ minutes. Around the world, butterflies represent endurance, change, hope & life. Happy B'day.
JOY! Discovered a sparrow nest tucked away in our grooming stall. After thinking they hadn’t survived after a few days, I witnessed them leaving the nest in good health! They’ve been seen since learning their wings. 🐥 Awww!

Celebrating beloved late husband, Patrick, last nite on what would have been our 45th anniversary. Gone but not forgotten. 45+ years in my heart, & continuing. Thank u 2 my wonderful husband, Albert, 4 helping me toast him & his shining light, & making this evening so special.
My brother sent this pic saying, “Not a dollar in their pockets.” And you know what? He was right! All we could afford to carry was 25¢, & that was in case we needed to make an emergency phone call. Somehow we always managed. 😘

Thinking of my amazing, late Mother-in-law, Patsy, on what would have been her 94th B'day. Her teaching imparted passion & in her 50s/60s she could still out-dance her students. Patrick was "Patsy Swayze's son" growing up. She was so proud when she became "Patrick Swayze's mom!"
Patrick’s life was cut short,but he really knew how to live. Like, he loved ordering multiple desserts! Honoring him on what would’ve been our 46th anniversary.
Please urge your senators to support the fight on pancreatic cancer.

to 1974 - Patrick snapped this pic of me in our tiny NYC apt kitchen. Later when we renovated our LA ranch home, we laughed that our bathroom was now larger than our entire NYC apt was! 😂

fan, and when the truck is done he’s going to name it “DALTON.” Awwwwesome! I couldn’t be happier!!!

Honoring Nation's long & wonderful life. Patrick's main ride in New Mex, born on our ranch, spoiled, Big & Beautiful, steady as a rock on trails, dignified, & lovable. He is tearfully missed by me + many. Maybe Patrick will now get his other ride on him. Vaya con Dios, dear Amigo
Had the most extraordinary interview on Amy & TJ’s podcast. We laughed, we cried. What wonderfully special people they are. And I remembered the quote I was searching for – “Life is too short to not be happy, and too long to be alone.”

So happy to see you're on the mend

Back on the horse again! It’s spring & we’re shedding our winter coats & shaking off the rust of winter. This my beautiful girl Ali, showing off for me as she stretches her long legs . New under saddle, I'm hoping she’ll settle in 2 b my next ranch horse. Adventure! 4 both of us.
Celebrating my fab mother-in-law’s 96th Birthday. Marie is a pistol, and sharp as a tack. I aspire to her boundless humor & energy as I get older. Love her! I’ve been so blessed with incredible mother-in-laws.

Is it the light at the end of the tunnel? This is the 1st time since quarantine that I was able to buy toilet paper & paper towels at Costco. Amazing what things than can make one so happy! 😀
Sadness... Losing 1 one of the most incredible dogs ever. A star wherever he went. A gentle giant. My rock. Grateful he had a long & wonderful/loved life. Remembered forever in my, & so may other's hearts.

Dumped the sweat pants, and ventured out for b'day/anniversary celebration. 1st time in months! I actually didn't mind walking in with the mask. Makes me a woman of mystery.
I'm a sucker for fireworks, and we know how to celebrate! Enjoying watching everyone greet the New Year around the world in the comfort of my pajamas. And wishing you a wonderful New Year. TG 2019 is finally here!
#HappyNewYear2019
With all the rain in LA, it's a very green St Patrick's Day out walking the dogs in the Santa Monica Mountains across (what Albert and I call) "The Sound of Music Meadow." A lovely LA in background. Beautiful day, and we're ready to break out into song!
Such a beautiful morning with the light reflecting gold off the sand and water. 1st times I've seen it. Services all up and down the coastline... Happy Easter Everyone!
