So Thankful

Larry and I go to the market once a week now. I sometimes wait in the car but would rather go in. Last week when I went in with Larry, we were in the paper goods department and needed travel tissues. A woman was fighting with two workers of the store. There were three packages of toilet paper and she wanted them all.

The grocery workers told her the she could have one…but she kept ignoring them and was grabbing/fighting for all three. I was embarrassed and sad. I hope that the woman is more calm this week and accepting life today, with gratitude and hope.

I am thankful. I am so thankful! I am in remission. Larry is happy and loves his job. My daughters have toilet paper. {Yes, that was a joke} Life might be a bit bumpy for all of us right now, but we can manage this. Yes, we can.

Meet Cyril, the Easter bunny from Kroger. He was in the neglected Easter department and had a 50% off tag on him. He was chipped up and sad. I fell in love instantly, put him in our shopping basket, brought him home, gave him a coat of varnish, made him a bow and he was part of our table at Sunday dinner. He will reign over Easter dinner too.

My days are full. My YouTube Channel is growing, I am learning Needle Felting. Matilda and I play the video game Terraria almost daily. {it is an interesting video game. She plays at her house and I play from The Cottage. I did have to buy a book to figure it out.} Larry and I walk at his lunch hour each day and of course, I blog/journal daily now.

I worry about my friends and family. Perhaps they do not know how important they are to me? Larry says that friends from FaceBook are not true friends. They are convenient friends. In the world today, we are all very busy and distracted…

There is a new puzzle on the dining room table. It is not getting finished very fast…. I guess Larry and I are distracted too.

Love you beyond the moon.

For Spring

It has been a lovely week.

The world is preparing for Spring

by

washing off the winter blues.

Little girls are in sweet dresses

and hunting for colored eggs filled with candy.

The sun is staying high in the sky till late in the evening

and

irises in the garden are preparing to bloom.

The world is preparing for Spring.

Have a wonderful Easter.

Love you.

Holy Picnic Robin

Happy Good Friday.

It is a spectacular morning in Texas.

My heart is filled with…

I am not sure what it is filled with,

 I am content and joyful.

Last evening,

Larry and I bundled up a picnic

and went to the Dallas Arboretum.

A couple of thousand people, came also,

to see a James Taylor cover band .

After all that Champagne, it could have been the REAL JT.

We had a lovely evening, drinking Champagne

and

being together.

This week-end is packed with Easter awesomeness.

Be safe, be content and remember

He is Risen.

Much Easter love to you.

Memories, Blessings and Faith

One year ago, Lars, Josh and Matilda were in France.

We missed them very much and I was homesick to be with them.

This year has gone by very fast.

I wish someone would slow things down.

*****

Yesterday we had the best appointment with Dr S,

of course we discussed Libby the entire time,

 remembering that my pug girl is getting older

and going forward will be with her age of 16 in mind.

I took this photo of Libs years ago

and

it is my favorite.

She has my vintage necklace on and it makes me smile.

Today is Maundy Thursday.

Today represents the last supper Jesus had with his disciples.

This holy week is my favorite of the entire year.

There is something so positive in the rebirth of Jesus

and

of Spring.

Christmas Roses~ Karen and John Cox sent us the most beautiful flowers for Christmas. I saved the roses for Holy week, remembering that things do not die. They live in our hearts forever.

 

I wish you positive thoughts,

joy,

love

and

many blessings.

Happy Easter.

Love you.

Me.
