Best/ worse/ ? did you learn today #63 visit with friends...

They are beautiful Gita..can't understand some of the rules/regulations when it's intended to benefit others...the floral arrangement is eyecatching..fall is such a beutiful time of year...

Up early, why I don't know but do know that regardless of the time I can fill the 3 days off...

Have a notebook/pen and coffee at hand and marking down all the supplies I need...

Brother Bernie who was going to come and do the back deck now has much to do at Sharon's (sister who is in the hospital) large home, grounds, pool etc that all has to be put to bed so I told him not to bother to come and close in back deck, I'll figure something out as I know the end of October we can see snow up here...have a few ideas, taking measurements this morning and will order supplies...

Then it's play time, 1st on my list is the armitures for those Santa's as I want to get them off into the mail..will post next weekend as I'm in USA and that way they'll not have to take weeks in customs...so that should fill in a day...

Witch has to have several coats of finish so I can play with her inbetween...

Would love to get cemented in 2 - 4x4's for birdhouses so they can have shelter this winter...

And in between start putting away all my art...cannot believe that in 1 week my 'dragonfly' has rusted...goes to show what the elements can do...

I hope you all have things you enjoy planned for this weekend...

Off to the races...

Morning all,
Lovely fall photos and decorations Gits and Betty.

My sister and I had a nice picnic in Lindsay by the river...went shopping for a few trinkets..
Yesterday we put up more of those metal corner pieces from old gazebo of my neighbour that the awning have ripped off.

Betty..my heart goes out to you about your sister..wishing her a speedy recovery.

This is my sister Cheryl.

This is the beginning of the new arbour..not quite finished..needs a little something on the top..

Oh good.....I was a bit concerned yesterday when I read that Betty may not be around for a while. So good to see that you had the time to post Betty, I was thinkning of you. As always you are on high speed. I would have a difficult time keeping up with you if I tried.

Betty and Gita, both are lovely floral displays. That picnic lunch look good Starzz. Hello to Gilli and others who posted. I hope that everone will have a good weekend.

Ruby

Betty I hope you are alright. I tried to look up and see why she may not post but did not find it?

I miss you guys and it is hard to be so out of touch since my job, but those kids of mine are still in my computer room with the baby who does not always cooperate with me being in there when I want to or have time to do it.

I see new names for the best/worst now. My goodness I am so out of it now.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING BETTY.

The cold weather is probably upon a lot of you, but we have been having some odd hot fall, with temps in the 100's still or high nineties. I am tired of it, now today it was finally cold and all but it supposedly going to warm back up this week or tomorrow.

I hope you guys are all enjoying your gardens for the last few weeks of having it to enjoy for a while. I have gophers and need to get them before winter. grrr They took out a whole elm tree.

Morning Dawn, not many days go by that I don't think about you...your life at the moment must be hectic, but it will pass and just look how you'll enjoy those grandchildren...

Yes the mornings/evenings are cooler, bright colors all around us, flowers aren't very pretty but yesterday when I stood looking at them I thought of what beauties I would have come spring...and a thought or two came of how much I have to put away..want to do it tomorrow and close the pond but then that is the end..knowing me I'll leave it just a little longer..watch the snow come..know I cannot do it next weekend as I'll be in Frankenmuth...then shortly all my workshops start and that takes up most weekends, so,at least maybe I can put SOME of it away...

Slept until 8 am, lost several hours...little lightheaded this morning, might be the pain killers so as I'm cutting the wood I need for the Victorian Santa workshop, I'm watching my fingers with every cut...lol

Still have pies to do so am giving myself till 9:30 in the woodshop and then I'm into the kitchen...(rather be in the woodshop though..lol)

Hope you enjoy your day...

Have something pretty to show you...............Just to brighten your day!

The other day I was cutting back stuff in the garden. The big sun-Coleus was so pretty and colorful, but I cut off the tops to them all so I coul tear it up in pieces and dry them to add to my forever growing amount of Potpourri. Well--before I shredded everything up--I thought I would make this sunburst of all the different leaves.....
I put it on a red towel just for impact.....Such amazing colors!

Gita

That is beautiful Gita!! Got back from camping. Guess we had a good time. Company comes every time we are out there and always at meal time so can't have any peace. I think we are going to have my Middle disabled son moving back in soon. Lot more work but love him to death and he can help me with things. We will make it. Oh I fell again at the camper and ran my elbow down the hole of a concrete block. Hurt like heck and thought it was broke but just bruised.If it weren't for bad luck I would have none at all. Just keep on going Lord willing. Hope all have a nice week coming up. Is anyone else putting pics in the contest this yr.? I already have ten and putting more. HUGS BEV

Hello - Good to see you all posting. Gita, beautiful arrangement!!! So, tell me about the potpourri. What all do you use? Is there a recipe for it somewhere? Have you done it in the past? I compost all dieing leaves and things but would be interested in knowing more about this. Thanks in advance.

Ruby

Ruby,

I have been doing it for eons......

No all flowers dry and keep their color. Few leaves do--but you find that out when you experiment....

You need a large, shallow wicker tray of some kind. Sallow cardboard boxes work also.

Starting in Spring, pull the petals off of flowers that are past their prime, but not yet browning--such as Roses, Peonies, and others. I also pull off all the blooms from mini Daffodils and on my red Camellia. If you grow lavender--you have it made!!!

Flowers that do not dry well, or just turn into translucent, nothings are--impatiens, Begonias, Geraniums, lilies, etc. In other words--flowers that have a "water content" in them.

In warm, but not overly humid, weather--keep the tray outside in a semi shaded place. In warm weather, the petals will dry in about 3 days. Inside--like right noe, it will take much longer.

At this time of year what I cur/pull apart are Hydrangia blooms--which have now turned a beautiful maroon, I pull small flowers off of Zinnias and small marigolds, any remaining Roses in bloom, and such. Also--you can cut up the smaller top leaves on a Dusty Miller and dry them. The possibilities are endless.....Any remaining herbs still growing--but not harvestable would also add a nice scent....

If you live near some fields--you can go looking for interesting seed pods, mini, mini pine cones (Like on Hemlocks-1/2" long), and whatever you find that is suitable as a "filler".

Get a roomy tote or a humongous wicker basket and start saving all the dried stuff in it.
Keep tossing it around to mix. In no time at all--you will have gobs!

What have I done with it? Geez! I have posted all this somewhere.....probably on "Best and Worst", but who can find anything on THAT lengthy Thread? Do you remember seeing pictures of my lace Potpourri balls?

If not--let me know--I will dig up the pictures and post some for you.

here is what I have already dries this Fall and what is still drying.....
These tray are are about 3' in diameter..

OK! I just took these pictures to show you.

Here are my neighbors Hydrangea blooms--now a deep maroon (no showing good on this picture)....I cut the little bloom clusters in tiny bunches. These really dry thin....

I cut off the bottoms of the "skirts" of wilting Brugmansia flowers and tear them in 4 or 5 pieces. They keep the color. The upper part of the bloom is not suitable.
And as with all dried flowers, colors intensify when dry.

Here is one of the 3' trays all dried already. This one is mostly the Hydrangea blooms ans also anything else dumped on it as they dried....

OOPs....forgot the picture!

This is the second tray. I just took it outside as the weather is so warm. It was inside and not really drying....
On here are all the torn Coleus leaves and more of the maroon Hydrangea.

I think you can get trays like these at Pier One.

Back for a sec...just merangue left for top of the 2 lemon pies and give a final lick and split in the kitchen and the cooking part of Thanksgiving is done...

Cut out 50 circles - yuk did I make a mess...cleaned it up and got the bright idea to router all of them..know they are just the base and the Victorian Santa's skirt hides it but I feel better about doing it..sawdust/sawdust all over...

My gold for today is clean up the mess I've created, get dressed and enjoy a lovely home cooked Thanksgiving meal at Greg and Melanie's...quite the change in not having to cook it all myself but maybe it's time to pass on the tradition...make it easier for this old gal...

Ran downtown to pick up some wire needed for the kits at the local hardware store...building is 128 years old...country type store..the couple in their 60's purchased it back about 8 years ago but because it was a heritage home not a lot could be done..finally these past 3 years they've made headway...

There is 5,000 sq. ft. upper floor and same 5,000 lower floor so it's quite a large building...3 years ago she invited me upstairs to see the skeleton of the upper floor, as we walked this huge open floor she went on to tell me what each area would represent...I know they've been working so hard on the upper floor...the entire back overlooks Georgian Bay..what a view...in passing today I asked how she was making out, both Brian and she are always soooo very nice to me, infact, sell a lot of my painting in their establishment..they want to make a little artist gallery in one part of the bottom floor eventually...getting back to my story she invited me upstairs for tea...OMG a hundred time ...never in my imagination have I ever seen a home so beautiful..of course you can imagine the size of the rooms when you are dealing with 5,000 sq.ft. for your upper living space...her bedroom is larger than my entire upper floor...not only the view, the size of the rooms but the furniture..all turn of the century...the flooring...the took all the wood planks off the walls because it needed to be wired for electricity, drywall etc. so had them all playned and you should see the floors...again, never in my lifetime have I seen such a beautiful place..I'm in awe of what they have accomplished...

He gave me an article where they will receive funding in the next few week from Ontario Heritage and the front of the Harware will support new windows and siding..actually they were not suppose to touch the existing siding but it would have to be water sanded and it would create so much damage to the inside that the Heritage board made an allowance that if they kept to the same type of color and boarding, it could be changed, otherwise Brian said he'd not spend the $$$ painting it because the underneath could not be taken up...one day I'll have to
drop in and take photo's...know she wouldn't mind...

Just got back from Thanksgiving Dinner...tired out so heading to bed..called Sharon though to check on her and she said the doctor said she had ruptured disks...will proceed to do MRI to determine how bad and if surgery is needed & what kind of surgery ???

Bob is still holding his own, amazed at the condition he is in that he's still with us..although he recently told me he was ready to meet his Maker, he must have a will to live still within him...

Tired, calling it a night...
God willing, we'll talk tomorrow..

Morning all...

Happy Thanksgiving Gillian and Carol...hope you've both enjoyed this wonderful fall weekend...don't remember when we've had one so beautiful, high temps...vibrant color...enjoy your day!

Morning to all of you too,
Just got my first coffee.
.........realized I left my camera at my daughter's last night.
Great time was had by all....all my children and grandchildren. ..and a couple of friends... 15 of us.

What a gorgeous weekend..dropped my sis off to the VIA train at 2:30pm yesterday, and then went to my daughter's. I made twe pies to take ..and they were a success..(I'm not much of a baker). I also made up a basket of hydrangeas and the last few roses in bloom.

We were saying that we don't remember such a warm Thanksgiving before..it was lovely sitting outside in the sunshine before dinner.

Will post a few pics when I get my camera back.

Cheers,
Carol

this is my home all dressed in fall colours..

Beautiful Carol, you are enjoying much the same weather as I am...overcast this morning but they are calling for much the same as yesterday unless of course the weather forcast changed from last night...

Up early, gaining ground...sure wish the hair had arrived from USA for these Victorian Santa's as I could have had them all packaged up ready for shipment...

Working away here in the studio, t.v. on, watching old movies..Doris Day/Rock Hudson movie just started...so I'm fine with another few hours down here...wanted to cut some velvet for the kits but it's so very dusty..that's what happens when you've 2 saws and a sander working..lol..I'll wait for dust to settle, vaccum and wipe down the tables and do some cutting...

We were 14 at Mel's last night...after supper everyone started to play cards..Mel's family are card players...me, I enjoyed gabbing away and then came home early...

Off to cut wire for arms...lol

Hello Everyone,
I am back!!

I am glad to hear you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving.

Betty, was so sorry to hear of your sister. I hope she is getting better.

Today, is an especially hard day. It is with a heavy heart That I remember Carol. God, how I miss everything about her.
But you know what? This morning, as I thought about the weekend. This was The ghostfeast. The weather was spectacular Fall day. The colors, magnificent. We celebrated her life. We snet prayers in the 24 hour fire. We laughed and danced together as a family. As my mom has always told us, Life goes on. And so it does. My family is doing good.
Carol's friend Sally was at this Ghostffeast. She was in the backseat and terribly broken from the accident. She still is unable to walk and will be having yet another surgery in a couple of months. So will continue to pray that she will finally be able to recover.
...Sally, told me exactly what happened. Which I will not disclose, as you do know the outcome. I will though tell you, That my sister and Bob went immidiately and my original thought she did not see was right. I can only be thankful for that.
This morning I did not cry, had a great cry on Saturday night. This morning I recalled a wrting that I did for Carol. It was incredibly sad and I was so very lost and lonely...Since that writing, I have enjoyed the friends That I have come to know and love right here in Daves Garden.
I belong to a few threads. Best Worst and Learned being my home base. I am not quite sure where I'ld be if it weren't for all of you. You give me great pleasure to visit, laugh and hear my stories. You know, I truely beleive that everything happens for a reason. A life's lesson that I had to re-learn. I've had to re-learn to Live and love. I continue to pray for the well being of all that I have come to know. Weather it be by a simple post, or sending hug via d-mail or simple phone call...It is the only way i know how to be me. And ALL of you have accepted this of me. I am truley Greatful to each and everyone. I am also, pleased to say, although I've a heavy heart, I also am releived to know what I now know. I now can truly continue to enjoy everyday a gift of my own life to be shared with my friends and family.

Thank you for the pleasure of knowing you for who you are.
I am going to tell Carol, as I still always talk to her, with a smile in my
heart... I am no longer lonely.

With Peace and Love
Judy

Judy, now you've made me cry...it truly is a time of 'Thanksgiving' isn't it..wether it's a fest celebrating life or in your case 'death' we all must come to a truth..life does indeed go on although we think it shouldn't at times, remember with Roger died that was my first encounter with 'life goes on', people continued to do their daily routine, people laughed , people danced, people enjoyed what Roger enjoyed...as hard as it was to accept..'life does go on' and how wonderful that it does...

Judy think we all serve a purpose of this thread regardless of how at times it just seems chatty, no substance, but then comes a post such as yours and we find that without knowing we eased your pain...

Do honor our friendship...you've lost a dear and loved sister, but in that loss, she's led you to many 'substitute sisters' all with just a little of her within...

Love you Judy Babe...

Judy I am so sorry, I am not sure who Carol is, but I think she is a friend, was a friend, not from DG. I hate that worse than everything, to lose a loved one suddenly and shockingly without warning. Oh you poor thing and her poor family too.

Betty I am so happy that you did not have to do the whole meal yourself this year. I do think it will be more fun for you if you can bring your special dishes but not have all the stress of the staples and the crazy timing everything out, that stresses me out. I need another oven I think, to alleviate the stress of timing it all to come out hot at the same time.

Are you moving into your new building yet, for work, in your area? That will be so fun for you, not to have to drag around in the snow hours away from home.

I am off today for Columbus day so yeah!! Cold as heck here though all of a sudden. brrrr.

Dawn, Carol was Judy's sister and she grieves for her loss..they were very close!

Did miss the hallaballooooo though of Thanksgiving, almost feel as though I haven't had one..isn't that part of the festivities?? Next year it's back to here..lol..

Tonight my MIL and SIL are having supper with them as they couldn't make it last night (I would assume because I was there)...so many years since Roger's death and wounds are as open as though it was yesterday...he didn't want to see them the way he was, kept saying tell them not to visit I'll see them when I get home...not to be, but now I bare the crown as "B....h, the one who wouldn't let them see their son and their brother"...hind sight is 20/20 isn't it..if I knew what was to come wonder if I would have fought so hard for his last requests to be honored"...doubtful...enough of that...

Greg did come over along with Kyle, but of us were too short to do what I wanted done from the outside of back deck..Greg being 6'2" had to stretch..but it's done, all except the door and one side piece...but supper was calling him, so off he went and thank goodness, I'm so very tired..what a weekend ... accomplished absolutely everything on my 'to do list' and more...all the time Greg was helping me he's going on about it being in high 70's, that they are calling for much the same for a few weeks and here I HAVE to have my deck done in case of snow...he doesn't seem to remember that it was only about 2 weeks more and I was doing it in a snowstorm...I won out..it's up, one less thing I have to worry about..the rest of the yard can definately wait a few more weeks, especially as I'll be away next Friday and Saturday so perhaps Sunday it will give me something to do....

Now, it's off to have a bath and I truly will relax for the rest of the evening...

Thanks to those who kept me company this weekend, made me warm inside knowing you were there...

Night all...

SSSSHhhhhhh's you guys, don't tell Deborah that the lovely birdfeeder she sent me is still on back deck waiting to be cemented in...another job for another day....

Isn't it pretty...'Rock City'..

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang I have been busy, busy, busy. I need to continue on the Santa before I get so far behind I never catch up!

Nice pictures all over the place! The trees are starting to change down here, a little, when they do I'll post pictures as well.

I had an awseome conference, went as smooth as silk. The RU I went to right after was great, it's the first one I've been to. I plan to go to more!

I'm glad the wedding went good too! Makes me think that if me and Dave ever want to renew our vows maybe we'll do it in a zoo! Never thought of that, but it would be cool!

I'm going to wake Dave up so he can get ready for work and then I'll go to bed myself, so I'll see you all tomorrow!

Crissy, we've not started the Santa as yet..just get your material cut, glued or sewed and you will be right with us..in fact all packages are ready to be mailed across the border when I'm in Frankenmuth on Friday...that way no customs to take up a week or so....

Bought some material to do Caleb's costume as I'm almost done Braedon's...my little Missy thinks the texture is just right to rest in....

If I don't get my material cut I won't be ready for the rest of it, which I've done up to the armpit part, and the glue I bought says it dries clear.... NOT! It doesn't hold the material together very well either. I'm wishing I had a sewing machine, then knew how to use it lol!

That's unusual Crissy, what type of fabric glue did you purchase??? has it come through the fabric...if it has, not to worry because we can embellish with cording ....do you know anyone who could do a quick hem by machine?

Crissy meant to ask, have any of you posted photo's yet of your round-up...post the link if they are..need to see....glad your conference went well.....

See, you guys say, Betty where are you and when I come out to play you are all gone???? lol....guess I'd better entertain me self....

It's called Liquid Thread, "comparable to Liquid Stitch" it says. I don't believe that! It didn't go through the fabric at all, and it cleans off really easy with a wet wash cloth, it just isn't very good glue, I think Elmer's would've worked better lol!

Here's the link to the forum that has the RU pictures. Let me know if it doesn't work.

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/912060/

What I use is an adhesive called Fabritac......I have used it on many projects and have found that generally the fabric will tear before the adhesive fails!! The have it at Michaels, JoAnn's, WalMart......

Hi everyone,
I am playing around with the Thanksgiving photos..making a couple of collages with Picassa 2.

It is voting day up here..I went and it wasn't busy at all..but I went about 3:30pm..before all the people get home from work.

So let's see how these pics came out.
All my family was there..all children and their spouses..and all grandkids and a couple of their partners.

My daughter and I with a hydrangea and rose bouquet I made for her.

This is the family

Huh, I was just at Joann's at lunch looking at other glue's I can use and I didn't see that one, not that I would've noticed it anyway. I'll try Michael's, they seem to have more stuff here in these parts.

Crissy,It isn't in the fabric section just in with the regular glue and adhesives.

Crissy, sorry can't help you but Zhinusmom gave you the correct information...did use it when I first did the santa's but not since..use sewing machine...

Carol, love the photo's, must get that program...your daughter sure looks like you! Nice family...

Left my car at Suzanne's this morning and locked it up because I had shopping in the back and my gps..then, this afternoon we were extremely busy and I was hurrying to get packed up ... wouldn't you know it, left my car keys at work..wouldn't have mattered except for the fact that all this week I have to drive in on my own..Suzanne at meetings...so she had to drive me home to find my other set..thank goodness I tidied up in the craft room and remembered seeing my spare key hung up on the stained glass workshop..why there I don't know, guess it was handy one day..lol..

Liz my girlfriend in Ireland sister-in-law passed away on her 50th birthday..she was diagnosed with cancer about 2 months ago..sad..so gabbed with Liz for awhile...

Carol, yep, by the time I got home I remembered that I had to vote because of the sign on my front lawn promoting a particular party soooo off to the Legion where my voting pole is...this year I no more wanted to vote, not one is a candidate that I'm anxious to have in or back in..but I voted..did my duty..guess by morning we should have a new leader or same....probably will be same and if it is, a lot of expense to be the same....

Well, have some of my lunch left over, Suzanne gave me turnip/carrot mixture and a few pieces of turkey so between all I'll not be hungry...


Waving to Zhinusmom and Crissy....wave back girls..lol

We are waving Big waves Betty........

You all have been making me so hungry and ready for our Thanksgiving to arrive......I am sorry that in all my running in circles this past week I failed to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving....looks like all of you had an enjoyable time with friends and family.

Sure did..yours is so very close to Christmas isn't it..

Had plans of air stappling the wire on the dowels for Victorian Santa's..wouldn't you know the staples needed for the air gun are two long and go straight through, so tomorrow morning I must rush out earlier than normal and stop in Barrie Home Depot to purchase correct size..few other materials needed...

Got this e-mail from a friend...thought you'd enjoy reading it...

RED
MARBLES

I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes. I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean,hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas.
I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes.
Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.
'Hello Barry, how are you today?'
'H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine,
thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good.'
'They are
good, Barry. How's your Ma?'
'Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time.'
'Good. Anything I can help you with?'
'No, Sir. Jus' admirin'
them peas.'
'Would you like to take some home?' asked Mr. Miller.
'No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with.'
'Well, what have
you to trade me for some of those peas?'
'All I got's my prize marble
here.'
'Is that right? Let me see it' said Miller.
'Here 'tis.
She's a dandy.'
'I can see that. Hmmmmm, only thing is this one is
blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?' the
store owner asked.
'Not zackley but almost..'
'Tell you what.
Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at
that red marble'. Mr. Miller told the boy.
'Sure will. Thanks Mr.
Miller.'
Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help
me. With a smile she said, 'There are two other boys like him in our
community, all three are in very poor circumstances. Jim just loves
to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever. When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store.' I left
the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man. A short time later I
moved to Colorado, but I never forgot
the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles.
Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just
recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that
Idaho community and while
I was there learned that Mr. Miller had died.
They were having
his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to
accompany them. Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the
relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could.
Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform
and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very
professional looking. They approached Mrs. Miller, standing composed and
smiling by her husband's casket. Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket.
Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one, each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket. Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes.
Our turn came to meet Mrs. Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had to ld me about her husband's bartering for marbles. Wi th her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket.

'Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you
about. They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim 'traded' them.
Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about color or size....they
came to pay their debt.'

'We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world,' she confided, 'but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho '

With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red marbles.

The Moral : We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.
Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles ~ A fresh pot of coffee
you didn't make yourself...An unexpected phone call from an old friend...Green stoplights on your way to work...The fastest line at the grocery store...A good sing-along song on the radio...Your keys found right where you left them.
Send this to the people you'll never forget. I just Did...
If you don't send it to anyone, it means you are in way too much of a hurry to even notice the ordinary miracles when they occur.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED


Now isn't that the truth...wonder what we'll leave behind us????

Hmmm this morning showed you a photo of Missy sitting pretty ... tonight a photo of Sailor (thinking of you and your Sailor Jeannine) want another dog????

Wouldn't be bad but I just fed her so know she's not hungry..who knows maybe it's the cats, at least that's what Sailor is trying to make me believe...must be a Ripley's Believe it or not!!!!
