Over the past few months, I have had major trouble with Word Press and posting here. With Laurens help, I am trying to fix it again again…… I took a photo of a note card and it posted without a problem! I might be on the road to recovery. Please stay tuned, thank you for stopping by and try to have the BEST day possible.
Love you beyond the moon.

Hi! I have been having a few issues with my web site and thank you for your patience. My wonderful son in law handles the “issues” and we will figure things out soon.
I have been working on my miniature Book Shop….and I am surprised at how relaxing the process is.
Excuse the pictures, I had glue on my hands. I cannot wait to make all of the objects in the book shop. (Look for pictures soon)
With so much happening in the world, I find it ironic that miniature things help me get through difficult days. They are so tiny and I think that I use to much glue for what I am making. As I practice, it will get better.
Thank you for finding your way to Blog….We will figure out the problems here soon.
Love you beyond the moon.

It was so hot in Texas yesterday. I walked 3 miles at the Willow Bend Mall and was lazy. (although I did knit a bit working on the sleeves for the sweater I am making AND I read a few chapters of my current book.)
I made rolls for dinner and Larry cooked the rest. Scrambled eggs and sausage. I feel fine, just a bit tired, but why do I feel so BLA?
I found the charming poem below. Enjoy.
I am dressed to walk a few miles this morning and laundry is almost done. How wonderful is THAT? I honestly believe that if do not watch the news, I will be much better.
Have a wonderful day!
Love you beyond the moon.

In December, 2010, the 8th to be exact…..the family came over to celebrate Larry’s birthday. It was one of those nights that lives in my heart, even now.
Along with the lovely bottle of wine above, on that night, we learned that we were going to be grandparents. Larry has kept the wine safe and decided that we would open it last night.
That 17 year old wine was amazingly perfect. Smooth is the word I would use.
Our dinner menu was: stuffed pork tenderloin, twice baked potatoes and asparagas. Dessert was my “take” on a key lime cake. We watched Donovan’s Reef as we prepare to go to the beach(SOON!) and we toastred Matilda a few times during dinner. It was a wonderful evening filled with good food and even better memories.
Now, these strange days, memories have become very important part of my life. Do you agree? Or should I be looking forward and ignore the past?
Happy Monday.
Love you beyond the moon.

Larry has a sweet office in our house. The Cottage. It is his sancuary and I almost never go in there but… yesterday he invited me in, while he read an email from a friend.
I sat in the chair as he read the email to me and I just looked at his ART. Most of the ART was created by me….I felt surrprised – did I paint that? That is when I began to feel proud.
I was mesmerized by all of the paintngs, so mesmerized that I totally had forgotten that he was reading an email to me.
I’m sorry Larry. Love you.
Love you beyond the moon.

Yesterday started with an appointment at the eye Dr, for both Larry and myself.
We passed with flying colors…well, for our age that is.
Larry got back to work after the DR visit and I worked on a “little” project. THEN, I took him out to lunch. We had not done that in ages. It was a wonderful hour to visit and eat a bunch of food really early in the day.
After that huge lunch we came back to The Cottage so Larry could finish his work day…(if that will ever happen!!!)
The afternoon was busy, but we had one more thing on the schedule. (tickets) Larry took me to see The African Queen on the big screen,while sitting in super luxe chairs and eating fun snacks. We were celebrating The African Queen’s 70th anniversary.

Seeing this movie at the theater was devine. I had only, ever seen it on TV….. It was filmed in 1952. In Africa.
Yesterday was…lets say eventful. (filled with many special moments to remember) Maybe today will be calmer? I am off to walk my 3 miles and pick out new frames for the perscription the DR gave me.
July full moon is tomorrow. July 23rd, 2021 at 10:00 am CST…I saw it last night while driving home from the movies. It was perfection. It should be beautiful tonight too…..
Love you beyond the moon.

It is sunny and warm this morning. Larry and I have appointments at the eye DR across town in an hour, by the time that you read this, the appointments will be over.
I have a letter to write before we leave for the appointment. A letter to a dear friend, far away. There is something cathartic about sharing moments on paper…and mailing it……..
Love you beyond the moon.

I gave up caffine this year. It was easy to leave out of my diet, but miss it very much. I am not a coffee drinker, but a tea drinker. I think that I found a decaff tea that works for me….time will tell. (I am making a cup now)
I have been working on a small project. Excuse the pun.
I am making a miniture book store. I had never cared about minitures before, but this project feels calming in many ways. Larry and I bought my bookstore kit and a kit for Matilda, thinking that it would be perfect for Camp Robi. Matilda is not 100% sure if she likes it.
Today, the next minature object to make is a sofa. It has soft red velvet with a black and white checked pillow. I am excited to make it.
Things here are ok. My voice is slowly getting back to normal. The vocal cord that was paralized is working. It is weak but it works! I have been excused from the voice center DR ….and do not need to see her unless I have trouble. Now that is a perfect plan.
My tea is ready. Have a wonderful day.
Love you beyond the moon.

On the morrning that she was born, her father came to the hospital waiting room window. I took a photo, but will remember it always.
Yesterday, her parents hosted a birthday party for Matilda. All of her friends were there.
Before the party, Larry and I worked on treats for Matilda…..
We made about 40 and had the best time making them….The perfect thing to help celebrate a birthday.
I wish Matilda only happiness, kindness and goodness as she grows……. Happy Birthday Sweet Matilda.
I love you beyond the moon.
