Laugh of the day.

This morning as we knelt to say the Lord's prayer, Claire saw that people had their eyes closed, which meant they won't notice shy little her. So she knelt and started with "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. I will now sing Twinkle Little Star."

Bountiful and ample

My new mini-skirt apron. Yes, I sewed it myself.

the generic baby look

No Grandmother can walk by the infant section of a store without stopping to buy something.

Full Moon

So far the full moon has only brought rain and cold. No baby...yet

Unique

Begonias were my Mom's favorite flowers.
A purple tulip in the middle of pink and white. UNIQUE.

excited for nothing

This little light of mine. I'm going to let it shine.

How to come to peace in a disappointment. has God ever failed me? No.

long day ahead.

You know you are getting old when you have your daily chores done by 7 a.m.

slow day

Reading the book "Fireproof".

Lethbridge Woe

My heart is sad because my beautiful plants are being whipped by the frigid wind. The basil and tomato are done for.

computer games

Thanks Korey for the Mother's day gift of Pop.cap games

He knows my name

I had an unforgetable experience at Collette's dog kennel. She must have 80+ dogs who all have a name. She knows their names and when she calls that particular name, the dog comes running and gets an acknowledgement and a smile. They look so adoringly at their master. Some dogs were in pens for attitude correction, some were being groomed, one can be tied to Collette's waist to be near and be trained and one was in a pen to be trained to be a condo dogs. I felt the spiritual comparison and it brings tears and joy to my heart. Want to give this more thought.

Favorite things

2 days in Linden that felt like a holiday. Beautiful weather, soccer, fabric store, dog kennel, Aunt Hulda, dance recital and safe trip. Oh and I fell in love with Ginger, a beautiful Bishon/shihtzu. Maybe i'll adopt her

tulips

I am enjoying my tulips. Will plant more in Fall.

a nervy move

It's May 15, +25 and I put out some bedding plants. A week too early by local standards. We'll see what happens. I just think Spring got cancelled this year and we are in Summer.

inherited strengths HA

There are some lovely young women in this world. Met some today. I have a very smart and perceptive daughter.

tulips

Tulips are in their glory.

Spring Saga

Has Spring been officially canceled? Today it is 20+. A week ago it was snowing.

sad flowers

There's still heavy frost at night. My bleeding heart is sad and bleeding. 7 months of winter seems a bit much.

son pride

Was fun to sit on the sidelines and watch our 2 son/SILs play soccer. They won 4-2. Good game and happy smiles.

fog

Is there life after fog and gloom and so cold?

squid

Today the new experience was calamari

Mother's day tribute.

This is a dolly dress crocheted by my maternal grandmother "Oma" She could hardly speak English, she worked without a pattern, and used the only bits of leftover yarn that she could find. I remember sitting beside her while she crocheted this dress. She did it because she loved me and this was the best she could do.

keep dreamin'

It is so refreshing to hear my children voice their dreams.

Snow day

I'm thinking I should take in my sewing machine to get it serviced. It did occur to me that I could start on Christmas projects. Looks like we are getting set up for Christmas in July. It's been snowing for 3 days now.

Holding steady at 0 degrees

For the third time, I had to drag my winter parka out of the closet. It's that cold.

90 days and nights

My Daddy always said that rain came 90 days after a heavy fog. Today is the day and we are having a blizzard...almost.

spring needs patience

Here comes storm #3. Winds up to 100km/hour...and hail.

Nana's top drawer

I was robbed by a 2 year old

One year older

It's my birthday and I'll party if I want to.
